About two-thirds of a billion people watched last night's 50th Annual Emmy Awards ceremony.
Many students at the University of Kansas were in that number.
Sarah Smarsh, Kingman freshman, watched the awards in Templin Hall with her roommate.
"I watched it because it's on, and I like to watch TV stars and to learn about them."
Smarsh said she watched to support the cast of *Seinfeld*.
Seinfeld was nominated for Best Comedy Series, but Frasier won.
The academy also didn't give and award to Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, who portrayed Elaine on Seinfeld, for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy.
"I wanted to root for *Seinfeld* since it was their last year to win." Smarsh said.
Instead, Lisa Kudrow, who plays Phoebe on Friends, took

home the award.
Later into the awards ceremony, another cast member of Seinfeld missed out on an award.
Jason Alexander, who portrayed the character of George, lost the Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy series to actor David Hyde Pierce who plays Niles in the show. Frasier.
But one character from Seinfeld did have the spotlight for a moment.
Before presenting an award, Michael Richards, who played Kramer, lost his balance and fell in Kramer's trademark style.
"That was so awesome," Smarsh said. "And it wasn't staged."
Courtney Crouch, Wichita freshman, also was disappointed that Seinfeld didn't win any awards.
because of the show's popularity," she said.
"It really didn't make sense
Because this year marked the 50th anniversary of the Emmy Awards, the ceremony showed excerpts from the history of television, such as the assassination of President John Kennedy and the first walk on the moon.
Winners of the first Emmy Awards in 1948 also were given special recognition at this year's show.
Smarsh said that she thought the 50th anniversary tributes had their good and bad points.
"I thought it was neat," Smarsh said. "But they made the program extremely, boringly long."
Curtin Baker, Salina freshman,
watched the entire broadcast.
"I watched it because it's on, and I like to watch TV stars and to learn about them," Baker said.
