The Emmys

Old news you say? We know what happened? Well, whatever.

Notes from the couch

Garry Shandling is so bad. So very bad, was there no one else available? Is this a rerun and its really 1999? Who picked him? Why? I mean, if you are going retro enough to go for Shandling, what about Dana Carvey or somebody?

Okay, first presenters. SJP and Chris Noth. He asks her to "marry" him. Why? Who wrote this? Ew. Just read the names. We have a winna! David Hyde Pierce for Fraiser, his fourth in 11 noms. He does have a great quote though "They say comedy is changing, call me when it changes back".

An ad for LAX, NOPE.

Next trophy goes to some guy from the Sopranos first of about 11,000 HBO wins. I took Kitty downs stairs when his speech started. I came back and he was still talking. The orchestra got better at playing them off as the night progressed. They got down right snippy as the night went on.

Back from commercials. Oh, more Shandling. Damn. Why yes, Reality TV does take jobs from professional actors. We. Get. It.

Next trophy. Actress from Sex and the City. Can’t watch, don’t care. Blah. HBO.

Okay, the kid from The Hogan Family now in Arrested Development, gay? Terri Hatcher looks like a dressed corpse. She looks awful.

Little skit with writing staffs of nominated shows. I had no idea there were women on the Sex and the City writing team, I thought it was all done by gay men. Color me shocked. Also? Bored.

Arrested Development is doing well, maybe I should watch it. Amber Tamberlyns dress is awful!

Oh, another HBO win. Drea Dematteo wins. Another show I can’t watch and don’t care about. Yawn.

Now, we have three kids from Dawsons Creek West. Blah. Many, many wins for Angels in America it totally deserves it. Yay for the good guys.

Now we have Real People to award the Reality TV shows. The people look shocked. Its not a nice thing to do to someone. It was a interesting idea but not a good one.

Yay John Stewart!! Go The Daily Show!! I forgive them for beating SNL .

Sharon Stone looks like ass, speaking of looking , is Marisa Haggerty wearing an old dress of her late mothers? Kinda creepy.

Matt Lablanc is so not interesting. He is a very big, well dressed, wet blanket. Go away Matt! I like Joey, I find you dull.

Dennis Franz! Yay! I lurve Dennis Franz. I think we should just give him an Emmy every year just because.

More wins for HBO.


Edie Falcos dress made her look H U G E. A win for SJP. Whatever. Why do they introduce her by name checking her husband? they didn’t do that with the men. HBO.

Okay. Kelsey Grammar, Yay! NBC.

James Spader?! Dayum. Andrew McCarthy and Judd Nelson must just want to kill themselves. This has been a very Brat Pack evening. Spader wins, Sutherland nominated, Ducky and Charlie Sheen present... man. Poor Blaine.

Meryl Streep! Yay, More Angels! HBO.

Arrested Development wins for best comedy. FOX. Glen Close either won or presented for Angels, she looks like she had work done but I like her dress.

Sopranos wins, orchestra plays of the lead .

11pm - Over. Wow. An awards show that ended on time. It’s kind of out of the ordinary. Was this show directed by Mussolini?
