It’s all about self-gratification, and not just of the “Seinfeld” variety.

Indeed it is, Julia Louis-Dreyfus. When last we saw her it was in the swag lounge deep below the stage here at the Nokia where various makers of grocery-store frozen lasagna, expensive Australian boots, smart phones, diamond jewelry, designer sunglasses and espresso machines were ready to shower her with goodies. Apparently she made out pretty well.

But back to the Emmys!

Louis-Dreyfus, who’s nominated herself for “The New Adventures of Old Christine,” has just announced that Jean Smart has won her third Emmy for best supporting actress in a comedy. This year, it’s for “Samantha Who?”

Smart, obviously surprised, couldn’t quite get out the words quickly enough and now has the dubious distinction of being the first winner to get Played Off. Damn that orchestra.

Anyway, looks like we’re two for two (and not in the correct guess column) for those of you keeping track and readying the snarky comments. Go ahead. We can take it. We have this plate of chocolate goodies provided by the kind ABC folks here in the press room to make us feel better. Ummmm, molten chocolate mini-cupcake.
