Every year I think the Emmys will actually be interesting but I’m always wrong. And I’m not quite sure why I never learn.
Quick comments…
Why in the world was Omarosa there? And why was she interviewed? UGH. Get her off my TV!
Normally I think Garry Shandling is really funny. But not tonight. They need to bring back Conan.
Arrested Development and Angels In America won everything. I’m serious. But was that really a surprise?
For me, the biggest surprise was Cynthia Nixon’s win for Best Supporting Actress (SatC – comedy). The SatC girls always seem to cancel each other out when they’re nominated together so I didn’t think any of them would win. But I’m so happy for CN — it’s about time! She was so fabulous as Miranda.
The other surprise win was Allison Janney for Best Actress (TWW – drama). She looked totally and completely shocked. But I loved her and her flustered speech.
Favorite dresses — Joely Richardson, Amber Tamblyn, Jennifer Garner, Jamie Lynn Sigler
So that’s that. 🙂 I can’t believe it’s the start of another work week… *le sigh*
I totally agree on the Emmies on all counts. Garry Shandling was blah. Arrested Development and Angels in America AND Sex and the City won everything. 😉 I sorta wished Amber Tamblyn won, only because I read a quote of her saying, "It’s not like I’m gonna win or anything." LOL The shock woulda been too good. I guess at her age, it really is just an honor to be nominated. :hehe:
I agree about Gary Shandling but I thought the show was kind of good this year. I mean the Angels in America stuff was rather predictable the whole night but it really did deserve it. I really did think the people who won this year were actually deserving in all categories for a change, except for them giving it to Kelsey Grammar (AGAIN!) over Matt LeBlanc. It will always baffle me why they continuously overlook how brillant Matt is as Joey.
I was rather surprised that Arrested Development actually won though, I thought for sure SATC would get it. I really didn’t think the Emmy voters would give it to AD. So happy they finally gave Cynthia Nixon the Emmy she’s deserved for a while now. =)
I’m soooo happy for Arrested Development! I hope they get better time slot (instead of same time as Alias), so more people will watch it. 😉
Oy vey! Compared to the Emmy’s, the VMA’s were enjoyable! (and that is saying a lot ;))
I’m happy that Sarah Jessica Parker and Cynthia Nixon won for SatC but also sad because this is the last year it can be nominated. 🙁
Yay for Conan! He was my 2 minutes of laughter during the Emmys.
And big yay for CN! You’re so right… she really deserved it. I was also happy for SJP, though I knew she would win.
