Random Emmy Thoughts


Pre-Show
Debra Messing says it’s the last year for Will and Grace. My response, why the fuck is Will and Grace still on?
Star Jones is half the woman she was. And its still the ugly half.
I get Portia DiRossi and Drea DeMateo confused from a distance.
Hurley from Lost (Jorge Garcia) looks like a fucking pimp in a tux.
Jennifer Garner still looks hot pregnant.
Black Eyed Peas performs and not one close up of Fergie? The show immediately goes downhill for me.
Donald Trump singing Green Acres was hilarious. I hope the rest of these Emmy Idols are as funny.
Why the fuck is the Blue Man Group on? Arent they a little overdone at this point? Yeah it looked kinda cool though.
Its just cool seeing Jason Lee on an awards show. I hope My Name is Earl is successful
Lauren Graham and Jennifer Love Hewitt on stage together. Reminds me of a dream I’m going to have tonight.
Best part is the nominations for best writing on a comedy/variety show. They always put up weird things because they know no one cares. Conan did a romance book cover type thing, but Da Ali G Show showed stills from gay porn. Too funny.
I need to watch more of The Daily Show. Maybe there’s a pod-casting. Oh wait, I need an iPod too.
Best part of the night.
Dave Letterman does the Johnny Carson tribute. A nice kick in the ass to Jay Leno, but I gotta admit Letterman is the right choice. Thing is, you know Conan is going to be the one to do the tribute to Letterman in however many years. You know, 30 years is an amazing record. I cant think of one show now that is going to be around for 30 years. Not Leno, Letterman, Conan, um whoever took Craig Kilborn’s place. Maybe Raw will be on that long, but you’ll never see a tribute to Raw on the Emmys. This is possibly Letterman’s best speech ever. Right up there with his return post 9/11.
Family Guy clips have been great. Weird that they’re competing against themselves though. I hope these clips are a DVD bonus or something later.
I usually cant stand Macy Gray, but her voice was perfect for the Jeffersons Emmy Idol.
I think Quentin Tarantino should have won for directing CSI, but a Lost win is alright. I didn’t expect JJ Abrams to look like that though. Older I guess.
Holy shit Jon Stewart’s pre-taped commentary is classic. This is the guy that should be hosting Tonight Show, not Conan.
I just don’t care about the TV movie, mini-series awards stuff. Really if you don’t watch the show, then it just doesn’t matter. Yeah yeah, watch Arrested Development. I know, great show, blah blah, I still don’t care.
Ok, Star Trek Emmy Idol is my pick now. I thought they were going to sing the words, which exist but no one knows them. This is much better. They have a lot of geeks watching tonight because of Lost, may as well throw them a little something extra.
Excellent tribute to the news anchors. News isn’t supposed to be edgy and hip and a ratings winner. It felt like they were kinda pissed off at the networks. There is a certain amount of news overkill though. I’ll take MSNBC any day. Yes, I know they’re the least watched. I don’t care.
Felicity Huffman wins! Oh, its not for Sports Night. Ah well, good for her anyways.
And suddenly Medium will be picked up for another season. The best part is this just makes her even more successful than her brother. Former WCW Champion, David Arquette.
Good in memoriam piece but where was Mitch Hedberg?
After this, there wasn’t a whole lot else I really cared about on the show, I have to admit. I was thrilled Lost won for best drama, but I would’ve liked to have seen more of the cast. Come on Evangeline Lily and Maggie Grace get all dressed up and get no TV time? Well it bookends the evening with no close ups of Fergie.

That’s it. I’m moving on to more posts now.
