Wes and I were glued to the set, champagne glasses in hand, for another big awards show night. Here are my random thoughts. I'll begin with just a few comments on the Red Carpet pre-show:
I think Jimmy Fallon's wife is gorgeous. I love her coral gown and sunny hair. I love, love that she's not Hollywood skinny. She looks like a real woman. Cut to Guiliana Whats-her-name with her boney arms. She's a pretty girl with a nice personality, but she looks like one of those med school skeletons with an elegant gown.
Kelly Osborne is incredibly thin. She said she got that way by working out every day for 30 minutes. 30 minutes on the treadmill does not create that. She's following the Guiliana Whats-her-name diet of Tic Tacs and lettuce.
Who's the cute Greek named guy on E!? Why am I not one of these Hollywood homos on TV? Maybe because I'm not 27 and adorable? But I'm 50 and fabulous!
My response to Zoe's Calvin Klein underwear ad - WOW. Tres sexy. I can see why Junior could be bi for her.
On to the big show!
The Glee/Springsteen opening is fantastic! High energy and fun. New fun couple: Jon Hamm and Betty White.
That was the fastest costume change in history. Jimmy Fallon's tux must have velcro in the back. BTW, love the shawl collar.
Supporting Actor in a Comedy.
3 nominees are gay in real life. The winner? The straight guy who plays gay! Eric Stonestreet for Modern Family. I like him and believe he deserved it even if I didn't get to see NPH or JTF or Chris Colfer kiss a cute guy when his name was announced. NPH already has two Emmys this year, so I guess he's in good shape. Stonestreet really should have worn a tie.
Sophia Vergara is spectacular in Carolina Herrera. Best Dressed on what I think is a generally blah, forgettable night for clothes. What are your thoughts on the fashions?
Supporting Actress Comedy.
Jane Lynch!!! Love, love, love her. She kissed her wife and called her "my wife" from the stage. What a gal. She's having an amazing career and getting the recognition she deserves. She's a Stah!
Lauren Graham just came out to present. I like her, but her dress doesn't fit, her hair's a mess and her makeup is shiny.
Ryan Murphy of Glee just won for directing. He's adorable in his Tom Ford suit. He kissed his BF/partner/date on the cheek, what's up with that? Go back and give that guy a real smack on the lips!
LL Cool J is presenting. Loose the hat. And the shirt.
Best Actor Comedy.
Jim Parsons for a show I've never seen. He seems really, really gay to me. Is he out or just artsy? He had all the buzz this year.
NPH is presenting. He thanks the academy for allowing "a gay man to host 2 years in a row." Funny.
Best Actress Comedy.
Julia Louis-Dreyfus has green chicklets hanging from her ears. Winner is Edie Falco for a show I've never seen. This is Emmy number 4 for her. Moving on...
Kerri Russell's dress doesn't fit her bosom. At least her hair's not a mess.
Best Reality Show
Not Project Runway. Again. Who does Heidi have to fuck to get a break around here? Top Chef won. At least it wasn't Amazing Race for the umteenth time. There are like 75 Top Chef people on stage. Who are these people and who cares?
I want to gay marry Christopher Meloni.
Supporting Actor Drama.
Aaron Paul for a show I haven't seen. He's cute. Why does he have to bend in half to speak into the mike? Can't that thing be adjusted?
I want to gay marry Nathan Fillion.
Supporting Actress Drama.
Archie Panjabi for something I've never seen. Maybe I need to watch more TV? I don't think that's possible.
Lead Actor Drama.
I want to gay marry all of but one of them.
It's Brian Cranston, the one I don't to gay marry, again. 3rd time. Snooze.
It's Emmy Winner Ann-Margret! In pants! She looks and sounds hot. Love the husky voice. Why isn't she working all the time?
Lead Actress Drama.
Kyra Sedgewick. Her 1st Emmy? Really? She's nominated every year. She's not very tall, but even she has to bend over to speak into the mike.
Tony Awards win...something, I zoned out for a bit. It's getting late. This is becoming an endurance test.
Ricky Gervais, just in time to energize things. "Mel Gibson's been through a lot. Not as much as the Jews." Nervous laughter. People are thinking "is it OK to make fun of Mel now?" YES!
Bucky Guntz wins! Whoever he is. He's actually pretty doable.
Best Variety Show. They still have those?
Jon Stewart. Well deserved, but he could have shown up.
George Clooney wins a humanitarian award for organizing phone banks or something. How do you get a movie star to the Emmys? Give him a humanitarian award!
January Jones is reportedly wearing $100,000.00 earrings, but we can't see them for her messy hair. Is messy hair a trend? That gigantic dress is totally wearing her, not the other way around.
Supporting Actress Miniseries.
Julia Armond for the excellent Temple Grandin. Again with the messy hair. I'm getting annoyed by all the bad hair.
Supporting Actor Miniseries.
David Straithairn for Temple Grandin. I think it's going to be a Temple Grandin sweep. He's saying something incomprehensible about teachers being great and he had the opportuntity to play one. Or something. No matter, the real Temple Grandin just stood up and stole his thunder.
Death reel. Jewell is warbling something that makes me want to cut a wrist. Who knew she was still around?
Caroline McWilliams died?
Dixie Carter!
Lynn Redgrave!
Lena Horne!
I want to gay marry Blair Underwood. Maura Tierney looks adorable with short hair.
Best Actress miniseries.
Clair Danes for Temple Grandin. She looks amazing.
It's the True Blood cast. Alexander Skarsgard. I may faint. Overall, the men look better than the women this year. Especially him.
Lead Actor Miniseries.
Al Pacino. Is that a wig or plugs? Is his face a little tight and over-cooked?
Best Miniseries.
The Pacific. Didn't see it.
Best TV Movie.
Temple Grandin. The real TG comes on stage and steals the spotlight again. Fascinating person.
Tom Sellick just looks strange. Can't he get a decent colorist for his stash?
Best Drama.
Mad Men. Again. Love the show, but can't Emmy spread the love a bit? Will 30 Rock win Best Comedy again?
Best Comedy.
No! It's Modern Family, capping a huge night for them.
It was a disappointing night for Glee, but a big night for Modern Family, Temple Grandin, and Mad Men. Good night everybody!
