( CNN ) -- If you missed Sunday night 's 65th Primetime Emmy Awards , do n't worry -- we can bring you up to speed . Here are five things that will help you contribute to the morning buzz about television 's biggest night : . 1 ) Get ready to hear a lot about Merritt Wever . You 're forgiven if you said , `` Who ? '' when the `` Nurse Jackie '' actress was announced as the Emmy winner for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy . Unless you 're a fan of the show , you may not have been aware of Wever or her smart turn as nurse Zoey Barkow on the Showtime series . But thanks to what host Neil Patrick Harris called the `` best speech ever , '' plenty of people are now talking about Wever . After receiving the first award of the evening , Wever took to the stage and hastily said , `` Thank you so very much . Um , I got ta go , bye . '' Take note future winners of any awards show : Sometimes less is more . 2013 Emmys : And the award for best acceptance speech goes to ... 2 ) Neil Patrick Harris , we wanted to love you more . It was his second go-round as Emmys host , and yet it just did n't feel like the NPH we were expecting . From the lackluster opening -- which featured the actor `` binge watching '' some of the past year 's television shows -- to his song-and-dance numbers , it felt less than overwhelming . `` He did n't tarnish the winners ' evening , but he did nothing to burnish it , either , '' USA Today said of Harris . Amy Poehler and Tina Fey heckled him from the audience during the opening monologue , making us yet again sound the alarm for that pair to host every awards show , always . Past Emmys hosts show up to help Neil Patrick Harris . 3 ) Michael Douglas loves innuendo . The actor scored a best actor in a movie or miniseries Emmy for his role as Liberace in the HBO movie `` Behind the Candelabra , '' and he used the moment as an opportunity to tease co-star Matt Damon , who played Liberace 's lover . Calling his Emmy statue a `` two-hander , '' Douglas quipped , `` And Matt , you 're only as good as your other hand . ... You were magnificent , and the only reason I 'm standing here is because of you . So you really deserve half of this . Do you want the bottom or the top ? '' Cue Damon laughing . 4 ) The show was kind of sad -- and it made some mad . Yes , we lost some stars this year , and the decision to pay homage to some of them -- including James Gandolfini and Cory Monteith -- seemed like a lovely idea . But the personal tributes from their friends and co-stars definitely brought the energy way down for some viewers and also led to the issue of some stars being left out . `` I really felt like Larry Hagman should have been honored in that group of five actors that passed this year that were honored in a very heartfelt and moving way , '' Hagman 's `` Dallas '' co-star Jesse Metcalfe told CNN . `` I thought he deserved to be singled out as well . '' 5 ) Will Ferrell and his kids are way funnier than most of Hollywood . Ferrell presented the last two awards of the evening -- best comedy and best drama -- with an assist from his three sons : Magnus , 9 , Mattias , 6 , and Axel , 3 . Dressed more like they were headed to a sporting match than the Emmy stage , the four had the audience rolling . `` Unfortunately Helen Mirren and Maggie Smith dropped out at the last second , and they called me literally 45 minutes ago and I could n't find child care , OK , '' Ferrell explained . `` We had a soccer game ; there was a neighbor 's birthday party , a nut allergy , I did n't have time to do my hair . It does n't matter , it 's great to be here . '' CNN 's Nischelle Turner contributed to this report .
