The Live Emmys Blog

Okay, it's not quite live.  We started watching at 7:30.  Thank heavens for DV-R!!!!

• OPENING NUMBER ROCKED!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• I ♥ Jimmy Fallon.
• The Year in Comedy?  Apparently, this year was only about half funny.  Hmmm...
• I hope I'm as awesome as Betty White when I'm 88.
• Hey!  It's the PC guy again!  He's funny!
• If Jane Lynch does not win Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy, then the terrorists have won.
• YESSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSSS!!!!!!  Jane wins!!!!!!
• Not liking Lauren Graham's dress.  It's...uh...not pretty?
• Yay for Ryan Murphy winning best director!!
• I don't watch Big Bang Theory, but I understand that the Emmy is long-deserved for Jim Parsons.  Steve Carell should win next year.
• Edie Falco says "What?  I won?"  I love genuine reactions of surprise as opposed to "Yes, I won.  You may worship me now."
• Kim Kardashian...please don't sing.  Thank you.
• The Amazing Race.  The best reality show.  Ever.  Is there a question?  And it didn't win this year?  What is this "Top Chef"?  I don't follow.
• Why why WHY?!?!  Why do the Emmys snub Bones?!  NOT COOL!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
• Every time I see Christopher Meloni, I think of him as Bob the Gym Teacher in Runaway Bride.
• I just realized that they never explained why the big statue only had 4 toes on Lost.  Hmmm...
• Michael Emerson and Terry O'Quinn didn't win.  Boo.
• Matthew Fox didn't win either.  Sad day.
• Too bad Hugh Laurie didn't win.  He always has the funniest speeches!
• Is that a pink piano.  Holy crap!  Is that Jimmy dressed as Elton John?  Good heavens!
• Loved the tribute to shows that went away.  
• Jimmy's Report Card so far:  A
• I like Tina Fey's dress.  Can I get it in red?  For free?
• Oh, my gosh!!  Wouldn't it be sweet, sweet justice if Conan won tonight?!  LOL!
• Ahhhh...there's just something so awesome about the Tonys winning an Emmy.
• I ♥ Ricky Gervais.
• I don't like January Jones' dress.  The skirt is bizarre.
• I ♥ John Krasinski!
• Claire Danes doesn't really make a great blonde.  Either that or her spray tan is a little off.
