Hot Guys of the Emmys: no Benedict Cumberbatch, but who would you rather?

Here is your “Hot Guys of the Emmys” post although there really weren’t that many hot guys. Yes, I would feel differently about this mess if Benedict Cumberbatch had actually attended. Then it would have been amazing. But Cumby is in England, filming The Imitation Game, so we’re left with… Jon Hamm, Matt Damon and Aaron Paul. Matty D is cute, of course, but I would have given a thousand Matty Ds for one Cumberbatch.

Random thoughts about these photos… Jon Hamm’s girlfriend Jennifer Westfeldt simply needs to stop messing with her face. It’s insane. The Hamm Dong was hidden and so was Jon Hamm’s face. His beard is officially out of control. Bobby Cannavale is sexy but I never realized he was old enough to have a college-aged son. Stephen Colbert is super-sexy and he seems like a genuinely nice man. God help me, I still find Nathan Fillion attractive. He’s gained a lot of weight recently though, right? I don’t know why Kit Harington is always so DOUR. Ugh. And Peter Dinklage is close to becoming a Forever Dong.

    I’m pretty sure Matt is shorter than me… But goodness is he hot. I’d say Hamm but that beard on him is a NO. He looks like a lumberjack, and not a sexy one. A I-live-in-the-woods-alone-with-no-deodorant lumberjack.

    • Reece says:

      He’s a lumberjack and he’s ok…

    • Fairybreath says:

      Matt is so sexy! I do not know the names of most television actors but I did watch the Emmys and would say 99% of the men are better looking than Benedict Cumberbatch. I don’t know why he is discussed so often on this site???

      • Janet says:

        the voice, the voice, the voice

      • Vesta says:

        The bum, the eyes, the hair

      • Lauli says:

        The talent, the variety of roles, the amount of work he does so that there’s always something interesting to discuss.

      • mom2two says:

        I don’t understand the Cumberbatch obsession myself but I will say outside of Peter Dinklage and Bryan Cranston, the styling for the men was awful.
        I appreciate Hamm’s attempt to change up the tux look ( I do think the beard is for a role) but it just didn’t work. Harington always looks like he’s about to cry and how his hair was done and the cut of that suit did him no favors. I did not see photos of Steven Amell but he had to look good right?
        And I should not look at Aaron Paul and say what’s Vincent Karthreiser doing hanging with Bryan Cranston?
        Dinklage puts most of these men to shame (or their stylists) by always having a well cut suit. Cranston looked good too-hair, suit, everything. He’d win my best dressed male of the night.

      • Abby says:

        Confession: I have seen Benedict in quite a few movies. He’ll ALWAYS be the creeper from Atonement to me. Not attractive at all. BUT… my husband was watching Star Trek the other night while I was cooking. I’ve seen that too, btw. But JUST hearing Benedict’s voice… y’all are right. His voice IS hot!!

  2. Pastyousayyouneverknew says:

    Jon Hamm. Excuse me while I salivate.

    • emmie_a says:

      Exactly! He’s such a MAN!! The beard takes away from his beauty but he still looks incredible. And he sure looks good in a white tux.

      So I assumed he colored his hair – but maybe not? His beard is so dark. I’m younger than him and am waaaay more gray.

    • Becky1 says:

      I think he looks hotter with the beard. I like the manly, bearded look!

  3. Ncboudicca says:

    There seems to be a lot of airspace between Matt and his wife?

    • bammer says:

      Lol but they renewed their vows in a splashy ceremony and he seems obsessed with talking about Jennifer Garner.

    • Anna says:

      Bc she is not smothering him like some people (coughPATAKYcough)?

      • Ncboudicca says:

        Hahaha, but in all fairness, I might be climbing all over Hemsworth if I had the chance! Seriously, I like Matt and I like that he’s married to a non-celeb but they look a little stiff – maybe it’s just the photos.

    • Feebee says:

      His hand isn’t on her either, I think the photo is of him either coming in to the pose or mid-moving on.

  4. Sixer says:

    Man. I’ll take Dinklage. The men don’t look much better than the women and, going by the posts hereabouts today, they mostly looked like cake decorations.

  5. Nev says:

    Where is JASON BATEMAN?!!!!!

  6. starrywonder says:

    What is going on with Jennifer’s face? Would she please stop. Sigh.

    Matt Damon looked good. I cannot with John Hamm’s beard.

  7. tifzlan says:

    WHY does Kit Harington always look like someone took his lollipop away?

  8. T.Fanty says:

    Always Matt Damon. ALWAYS Matt Damon. And the slight touch of grey in his hair is making me want to lick him even more than usual.

    Mrs. D really missed the target in that dress. And she usually looks phenomenal.

    *off to stare at the face of Jon Hamm’s gf and see if I can understand why it scares me so*

    • Sixer says:

      I would usually say that, but he looks all sweaty and bloated and his hair is bad – isn’t it?

      Was this How To Look Awful at the Emmys Night? I can’t get over how dreadful everyone looks.

      • T.Fanty says:

        Sigh. Matt’s always my no-brainer, but calling him the best of the bad bunch isn’t really saying much here.

        Okay, so here’s the plan. Fire up the DeLorean and let’s go back in time and hit Stephen Colbert when he looked like Ben Whishaw:

        http://media.washingtonpost.com/wp-srv/liveonline/images/celebritology/10/young_colbert.jpg

        I think that’s as good as it’s going to get.

      • Sixer says:

        That’s the best offer I’ve had all day. Could we pick up Johnny Depp from before he lost the plot? Forgetting the Emmys, I know – but if the DeLorean is getting a workout…

      • T.Fanty says:

        Definitely. But before you go any further, I need to point out that we can’t fit Duran Duran in the back seat of a sports car. We might be able to get A-ha in the boot, however….

      • Sixer says:

        Bugger. A-ha will have to do. I shall dig out my 80s shoulder pads. Will I need my gag?

      • T.Fanty says:

        Always. Mags just never shuts up. But what’s good if we go with A-ha is that it can double as cool wristbands.

        Maybe we can also swing by and visit TommyAnne before he discovers twitter and just sit on him until the moment passes.

        And I also want to get Christian Slater when he was hot.

      • Sixer says:

        TommyAnne NEEDS the DeLorean!

        And since there’s been cricket talk of late, can we scoop up Sir Viv?

      • T.Fanty says:

        Okay, but if we’re going into off-beat English crushes of yesteryear, I want Peter Davidson as Doctor Who. And let’s pick up Una Stubbs in her Aunt Sally costume just because we can.

      • Sixer says:

        No problem. I’ll bring my Tardis add-on (a little known DeLorean optional extra).

    • Anna says:

      Castle forever!

  9. lori says:

    That woman’s face makes me so sad. Maybe she stopped getting fillers and this is what she’s left with?

  10. MeowuiRose says:

    I’m in love with Peter! Holding his wifey hand like that……swoon.

  11. lbeees says:

    uhmm… Jon Hamm’s beard can come home with me. I find that kind of beard ridiculously sexy. Except maybe for the uber-pornstache on top. He could trim that down a bit. Otherwise… hot.

  12. Chicagogurl says:

    Ugh his woman Jennifer is so bland. I think just always wears the same dress and yes, she’s looking cartoonish and too pulled/shiny.

    The hamm however looks like he knows his way around a tool box. God, I love a beardy man. Like he was Mr. Koolaid and I was a brick wall. Hit is so hard. Oh yah!

    Kit looks like grump cat. Probably because they don’t make skinny leg tuxedo pants.

  13. Maria says:

    Hamm dong please.

    /he needs to shave though

  14. Tish says:

    Stephen Colbert! Yes, please!!!

  15. Lily says:

    If you mention Cumberbatch one more time in a post that has absolutely nothing to do with him, I might never visit here again.

  16. Jen says:

    Kit Harington looks gross.

    • Side-Eye says:

      Something about his face pisses me off. I think it probably has to do with him portraying what was one of my favorite characters and not being a good actor.

  17. curlsunited says:

    Jon Hamm.

    After dragging him to my shearing shed to take the beard off.

    Ugh. Are they refilming “Fiddler on the roof”?

    • Vesta says:

      That beard is definitely not his best look. (Although I find it, oddly enough, quite hot too).

      That natural white jacket + white shirt combination isn’t the winner either.

  18. Pants says:

    I love Bobby Cannavale FOR-EVAH. Also, Damon and Hamm are super hot. But since no one else is claiming Cannavale, I’ll sneak him away for myself *snatch!*

  19. Reece says:

    Colbert. He makes me laugh.

  20. Mia 4S says:

    I’ll take Aaron Paul…and Bryan Cranston. They seem like good friends, I’d hate to separate them or cause a falling out. So both please. 😉

    Kit Harrington does it for me as Jon Snow only. I am unworthy of the awesome that is Dinklage.

  21. Elisabeth says:

    It looks like Jon Hamm brought the wax figurine of jennifer Westfeldt

  22. Shelly says:

    Love love love Bobby Cannavale!

    I generally like beards. But I do NOT like a beard on Jon Hamm.

  23. betsy says:

    What a sad line up looks wise. Aaron Paul is so puffy in the face these days. The most exciting thing last night was seeing Cumberbatch’s gorgeous promo photo on screen.

  24. Vesta says:

    In this spesific order:

    1. The Phantom of Cumberbatch

    2. Jon Hamm the Man

    3. Cranston or Dinklage

    • T.Fanty says:

      Is it just me, or can you absolutely imagine Cumby with one of Wanda’s sheets over his head, wandering around, saying “woooooOOOOOOOooooOOOOO” now?

      • EscapedConvent says:

        It’s just you, Fanty darling. I thought he was saying that because he was pretending to be an Owl, for MamaBatch.

    • Vesta says:

      T.Fanty, I was thinking a tad more s£xier figure (hiding under the Emmys theatre) with whom I could make the chandelier crystals chink, but for some reason that captivating vision is gone forever now, and all I can see is a hyperactive nightmare Cumby running around dressed in Wanda’s freshly washed sheets, wooOOOooing and making everyone lose their temper. Ah, THANKS a million !

      • EscapedConvent says:

        It’s Fanty’s fault, Vesta. I was far too drunk on Benedictine to think of that myself.

      • Vesta says:

        EsCon, now that I know about your Secrets, I understand you’re not responsible for many of your actions. Maybe none of them, poor you.

      • EscapedConvent says:

        And just what have you heard? 🙁

        I do seem to spend an inordinate amount of time in Thornfield’s dungeon, or the one at the Convent….

      • T.fanty says:

        @Vesta. While Martin Freeman slurps his tea, rolls his eyes, and calls our beloved DUC an annoying c&^t when the shenanigans make him drop his hob nob.

        Anyway, I did you a favor. Cumby in one of Wanda’s owl sheets is preferable to any scenario that might possibly conflate our darling boy with Gerard Butler.

      • T.fanty says:

        And what?!?! EsCon? Do not throw me under the bus, Vespa or Curls’ red bicycle, thankyouverymuch. Don’t give her any sympathy – she masterminds it all. I hadn’t even heard of the curious sofa until that delinquent nun started whispering in my ear.

      • curlsunited says:

        Yes to woooooooing without the multiple o’s. Wooing ME.

        I love a man without a beard, although they seem to be all the rage now (why oh why?). I’d definitely hate to see Cumby as Hamlet à la Mel Gibson.

        Wanda as Gertrude? Here Hamlet, take my owl sheet, rub thy brow …

      • Vesta says:

        @T.Fanty, I’ve been trapped in bed with a massive flu, and I come here for a little escapism & solace, and you remind me of Gerald Butler’s travesty version?!?!??? My fever just dropped down to the stage of hypothermia…

        @EsCon please pass me that bottle of Benedictine. I no longer wonder why you’re Beneaddicted. You need some comfort here.

        At her Convent EsCon has done some joinery – a lovely little Victorian style sofa, and right away begins this vague hinting.

        I may be an innocent Scandinavian tawpie with limited English, but even I recognize who’s the mastermind wizard driving around here in her turbocharged Vespa that runs on TommyAnne’s sweat & tears. And now I must run to the hills and hide in Curls Cottage. @Curlsunited is my reliable Red (bicycle) Riding Hood.

      • curlsunited says:

        @Vesta: I also come to this thread for a little escapism. I can’t be bothered to comment on Kaiser’s posts today. Just too many bearded men to look at. How utterly depressing.

        Welcome to my humble abode! There’s herbal tea for you and your flu, my dear, but I can also offer you some nice hot grog or even gloegg.

        As a Scandinavian, do you come with a certain Sami friendship bracelet?

      • T.Fanty says:

        *roars in blasting “Greased Lightening” from a tape recorder on the back of the Vespa*

        Poor ladies. Let me soothe you with a nice warm mug of extra hearty Fizzy Hiddles. With a dollop of cream on top.

      • Vesta says:

        Yay @curlsunited, I didn’t notice here’s still some action. How very very sweet of you to offer that kind of broad selection of hot drinks 🙂

        Way too many prickly beards today, that’s true. And I’m already so sure that the next time it’s raining smooth Cumby snaps, my luck makes it happen at a moment when I won’t have enough time to inspect them properly. Which means for instance looking at them through a magnifying glass…

        I know Cumby is wooing you at this moment, but his Sami bracelet gives me hope. I don’t have one, but if the one thing he ALWAYS carries with him is Scandinavian, then… *temperature rises again*

      • EscapedConvent says:

        Gloegg! I know about gloegg! I think I have a barrel around here somewhere….left over from some Vikings who invaded the convent.

        They went on a rampage, looting all of our Benedictine because it’s so yummy. I only got away with my mortar & pestle because Fanty came blazing in on her jacked-up Vespa to rescue me!

      • EscapedConvent says:

        Vesta, you sound a little delirious! Here, I’ll make you a hot toddy. :-}

  25. Mira says:

    Jon Haam. I want to sit on his face. I love a good beard on a man and Hamm is super hot!!

  26. Joey says:

    Bryan Cranston!

  27. Katie says:

    Jon Hamm. He is my man forever and always, nothing, not even a big ass beard is going to change that.

    Would have been nice to see him in a better fitting tux though. Is it me or do those pant legs just look really billowy?

  28. Crabcake says:

    I dont actually think the beard looks good but damn… it looks good… its so masculine and ridiculous.

  29. Jay says:

    This post needed a lot more Dinklage.

  30. Diana says:

    Fillion for the win!!! And I’m actually greatful I didn’t have to see lizardface last night 🙂

  31. Summer says:

    I want to give Aaron Paul a big hug…

  32. TherapyCranes says:

    I love so many of the men in these pics. I love Peter. I love Bryan. I love Aaron. I love Kit. I love Matt. I love Stephen. Oh my god. I love this post!!! 😀

    Oh btw I just have to mention I was absolutely PISSED that Bryan did not win an emmy. I’m sorry but I shut off the show right then and there.

  33. UmamiMommy says:

    I want to buy Jon Hamm a Norelco. This is NOT a good look for him. He’s officially booted from my Top 5 and replaced by Henry Cavill.

  34. T.C. says:

    Damon and Colbert

  35. Feebee says:

    Hamm needs a shave. Cumberbatch did himself a favour not showing… they used a very flattering photo instead. Matt looked like he’d had a hard work out and a shower but was still sweating afterwards.

    Dinklage does nothing for me but Bobby Cannevale, man, he’s nice. Not only does he have a college aged son, the kid is a ringer for his dad and he can act! He played Cannevale’s character’s son on Nurse Jackie.

    Nathan Fillion, well yeah a bit chunkier but he more than most seems to carry it okay.

  36. Kyle Randall says:

    No love for Stephen Amell? His presentation shtick with Mindy Kalling tanked, but god he looked smoking hot!

  37. Side-Eye says:

    Bryan Cranston’s hair is a little weird, but he’s looking fine tonight. And I didn’t even realize how attractive Jon Hamm was.

  38. loveisthecoal says:

    I don’t necessarily want to hit it with either of them, but I really just want to hang out with Aaron Paul and Bryan Cranston. Go and get a beer or something.

  39. Lexi says:

    Aaron paul for me

  40. barbiegirl says:

    Hamm-Yes
    Dink-Yes
    Damon-not in a million
    Fillion-gently (his back hurts)
    Carnavale-yes
    Colbert-nah, well…nah
    Kit-did he bring that red headed skeleton he’s been dating. And, yes.
    Cumberbatch-I love this site, but can we have a week with no mention of him?

  41. Ravenhawk says:

    I want to dance with Colbert!

  42. Shoe_Lover says:

    Just FYI- Nathan Fillion is having back problems and they are bad enough that he has had to take at least 2 days off from work since Castle started shooting again so cut him some slack

  43. Ruffian9 says:

    Zachary Quinto – He looked great!

  44. Amy says:

    Kit Harrington looks like he is about to start crying. Why so sad?

    And Nathan Fillion is handsome, bloated or not (the weight gain is very evident, especially when you watch the first season of Castle but that’s okay by me). His character Richard Castle and Stana Katic’s Kate Beckett have so much chemistry togther and they are just so cute together. I recently found out their “couple name” is Caskett!!

    K I’ll stop fangirling swooning now.

  45. the other Kate says:

    None of them, not even Jon Hamm :/
