Kimmel vs. Dame Maggie

We filed our last column on the heels of the Emmy Awards.  But there’s still some unfinished business.  One of Jimmy Kimmel‘s running bits was about the much-lauded Dame Maggie Smith, who has never shown up at an Emmy ceremony – despite having been nominated nine times, and winning three times.  So Kimmel made a vow – to win the award, you had to be present!  “If you want an Emmy, you better hop on a plane right now and get your Dowager Count-ass over here.”  When Dame Maggie did inevitably win, Jimmy stormed the stage saying, “No, No, No – we’re not mailing this to her.  Maggie, if you want this, it will be in Lost and Found.”  Maggie Tweeted: “I was very astonished and pleased to win the award.  I feel the Emmys have been overly generous to me.  If Mr. Kimmel could please direct me to the lost and found office I will try and be on the next flight.  Love, Old Maggie.”
