Alec Baldwin was nominated for Best Supporting Actor at Sunday Night's Emmy Awards. However, the 30 Rock actor was no where to be seen.
He was asked to record a bit in the opening number, when he did, he made reference to Rupert Murdoch - taking a few jabs at him, which in turn got cut from the piece all together.
Then he decided to skip the big awards show all together, stay in NYC and attend Tony Bennett's 85th Birthday Gala benefiting Exploring the Arts in New York City.
He Tweeted about skipping out on the Emmys:
"I did a short Emmy pretape a few days ago. Now they tell me NewsCorp may cut the funniest line. #NewsCorphumorlessaswellascorrupt."
"Fox did kill my NewsCorp hacking joke. Which sucks bc I think it would have made them look better. A little. I understand NewsCorp killing that joke. If I were enmeshed in a scandal where I hacked phones of families of innocent crime victims purely 4 profit, I'd want that 2 go away, 2."
Alec had good company showing lots od PDA at Tony Bennet's B-DAY with is new girlfriend Hilaria Thomas.
"He had his hands all over [her] the entire night." said a source to Us Weekly.
Ohhh, it must be serious!
