They let the producer of the Best Drama babble on because the show had already gone past 11 p.m., so there was no need to worry at that point about ending at 11.
I really can't say I was disappointed with any of the winners. Many were the favorites, and in the TV categories, there are just SO many quality shows out there vying for these prizes that it's a shame every deserving person can't win something.
From my count, the top winner won 3 awards, and it happened to be a musical. Nice, eh?
