EGOT WATCH:  Lin-Manuel Miranda did win Emmy tonight for co-writing the opening number to the 2013 Tony Awards. All he needs now is the O, and this Wesleyan grad is only 34 years old ...

Added: Also awarded last night were first Emmys to Bob Newhart (guest, BBT), Harry Shearer (voices, The Simpsons), Joe Morton (Papa Pope!) and Bill Simmons (exec producer, 30 for 30 shorts), as well as the award for Best Writing for a Comedy/Variety series (Colbert Report), which means no montage of nominated writers next Monday.  And yes, the Between Two Ferns with Barack Obama did win an Emmy, but since the award goes to the producers it means that POTUS is not, in fact, himself halfway to EGOT.
