There was a lot of drama backstage at the Emmys 2012 last night because Jimmy Kimmel got himself into a lot of trouble 20 minutes before the show. Below is the video.

That’s actually the opening skit for the 64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards, featuring some of the biggest names in television right now – and a real bad case of Botox.

As Christina Hendricks and Zooey Deschanel practice their “I can’t believe I won” face in the restroom, they hear someone crying in the stall behind them.

Before they find Kimmel crying his eyes out because he got “some” Botox and it didn’t turn out right, they stumble upon Lena Dunham eating a cake in her birthday suit.

Kathy Bates, Connie Britton, Julia Louis-Dreyfus and, finally, Ellen DeGeneres also contribute to keep the situation under control and get Jimmy on stage to present.
