Funniest Emmy Awards?
I actually watched the awards twice last night. For some reason, FOX decided that the 5-8 live showing was not enough and went ahead and gave it to the west coast back to back and because I enjoyed it so much the first time through I went ahead and watched it again. Jane Lynch was great, I still have no idea what Lonely Island was about, why Wilmer Valderrama was invited to be an Emmytone. Oh, I don't know how Julie Bowen managed to even lift her Emmy Award since it weighs more than her. Katie Holmes talks out the side of her mouth and it was kind of annoying. Amy Poehler has a lot of guts. Not just getting up on stage first in the stunt but also to wear that dress. Did not like the Goopster's dress. Melissa McCarthy was the most genuine and Modern Family must have practiced for each one of their wins because they were all great. Yay to Peter Dinklage. How can you not love a guy who thanks his pet sitter. Kyle Chandler forgot his wife. Steven Levitan's wife has really good comic timing and knows where the cameras are. Jane Lynch really did seem ticked off at actors like Kate Winslet coming down from the movies and getting all the awards. I am amazed at the number of no shows who were nominated. Rob Lowe called all the women girls. Jimmy and Jimmy were the best presenters. I could have lived without Charlie or Ashton, even in the funny Office skit. And Jon Cryer will always be the guy from Pretty In Pink. The highlights beneath, and the winners below that.
