"In all fairness to Hoover, I would have to say they have come up with some pretty good attachments." Best Insight on Emmy Politics Award: Jerry Seinfeld, presenting the award for best writing in a comedy series, noted nominations for three sets of writers from "Seinfeld." "Way to go, guys. Think we sufficiently split the vote?" They did.

And Li Sunday night's Emmy nrwaras was no-num enougn to an anti-awards show of its, own.

Here are our Emmy Anti-Awards: Best Imitation of a I960 jlaxy 500 Interior Roseanne Anibld, wearing a red gown and red elbow-high gloves that looked stitched out of Nauga-hyde. The gown's cut highlighted a bosom that needed no further introduction.

Emmys: Few surprises in snooze of a show WINNERS ARE mys ever but didn't. "Cheers" needed three awards to' tie "MTM's" 29, but didn't win any, despite eight nominations. 1 mi Candice Bergen, who won for "Murphy Brown' thanked Dan Quaykfor attacking the show and garnering headlines. show "Martin," tried to pull a Gilbert, but his spoof of "We Are the World" had been taped in advance (he was announcing win- ners from Saturday's technical awards), and he was bleeped by Fox.

This year's show was much clunkier than recent funky outings, such as last year, when Kirstie Alley thanked husband Parker Stevenson for giving her "the big one," setting off a round of one-upmanship.

Jerry Seinfeld did a lame routine on racehorses, Tim Allen sounded like a Catskills stand-up, a bearded Dennis Miller started off as glassily Zen-like as "thirtysomething's" Miles Dren-tell, Richard Lewis stammered through an incoherent tribute to recently canceled shows and lowest of low the show had to rely on Oscar-cast jokes about Jack Palance's one-handed pushups.
