Live Blogging the Emmys

7:05 - NPH's opening song is funny, especially the part about Jon Hamm.
7:06 - "It's my job to make sure everything runs smoothly...here's hoping Kanye West likes 30 Rock."
7:11 - Is it just me or are you haven't a hard time following this comedy montage?
7:12 - Did I miss something? Why are they all wearing glasses?
7:13 - First award of the night: Supporting Actress in a Comedy: Kristen Chenowith. Ya'll, I have such a crush on her. She's squeaky crying. Her show has been canceled so she's putting out a call for a role on Mad Men or The Office or 24.
7:19 - Ya know what would've been good during this commercial break? BROWNIES.
7:21 - Alison Hanigan's hair color is nirvana. I wish I could get that.
7:22 - Is anyone keeping track of 30 Rock awards? That's one.
7:25 - I really wanted the guy from Big Bang to win the supporting actor award but it turns out he's not nominated. He must be considered a leading actor. Jon Cryer wins and Kevin Dillon looks pissed.
7:27 - Did Jon Cryer just tell Charlie Sheen that he's going to give him his Emmy?
7:34 - JT rocking the hot nerd look.
7:35 - I don't really think Sarah Silverman's schtick is funny.
7:36 - I've not seen Toni Collette's show (they sure do like to give awards to cable shows). The bodice of her dress looks just like Julia Louis Dryfes's.
7:37 - The breastfeeding joke fell flat. I'm guessing it's because no one in the audience has seen her show either.
7:39 - It's Fergie and Leighton Meester. Oh wait, that's Blake Lively.
7:40 - I think it's awesome that JT won for SNL cause he is HIGH-LARIOUS on that show.
7:41 - Leighton Meester has so much make up on she looks like a drag queen. It's Fergie & a Drag Queen.
7:49 - I really hope the guy from Big Bang wins THIS ONE but I don't know if anyone stands a chance against Alex Baldwin.
7:51 - Yeah, I figured. He is funny though.
7:53 - I don't get Family Guy. Who is their target audience?
7:56 - "Circus" is a good song choice for the Reality montage. It's pretty embarrassing that they even recognize that half these shows exist on a program that recognizes excellence in television.
7:58 - Hayden Penattiere wins the Most Hairspray Award.
7:59 - He's living his dream, Probst says. Apparently, his dream is to accept an award on national television without bothering to wear a tie.
8:06 - Tracy Morgan: Talented? Yes. Lovely? Ehhh...
8:07 - Amazing Race is the ONLY reality show to ever win an Emmy. I hope it continues its streak this evening.
8:08 - YES! *pumps fist*
8:12 - This is the first chance I'm getting to see Kyra's dress since E's camera work on the red carpet sucked it up so bad. I like the color. I like it on her. It's a little busy. I could do without the flower on her shoulder.
8:13 - I don't know who this woman is or what the movie was that she was in, but she's getting to an age where she might want to consider covering her arms.
8:15 - I bet Kyra will be so pleased to find out that the camera showed her backside every time someone won.
8:16 - Aaaand...an interruption joke that finally gets a chuckle!
8:23 - Kate Walsh's hair looks really pretty (love the color!) but that dress is horrendous. Whoever thought cutouts on a formal dress were a good idea? Especially on a woman of her age!
8:26 - Oh Patricia Arquette, don't be afraid to go up a size so that there's room in your dress for all of your boobs.
8:30 - YAY! DR. HORRIBLE!!
8:35 - I do not think that Jessica Lange's dress is age appropriate. (She's going to thank Drew, right?)
8:36 - Awkwardness avoided. I'm glad Drew has that ink-dipped part of her hair folded up inside her updo.
8:42 - Oh hai Anna's boobs. I don't even know who you are, and yet...I feel as if I know you intimately.
8:45 - That's it? Only two outstanding miniseries? Wow, that kind of sucks for the one that doesn't win, huh? Especially when no one's ever even heard of the one that did!
8:48 - Can we not get through ONE SINGLE AWARD SHOW without having to see Beyonce with no pants on?? Fucking please.
8:51 - the guy who just won for American Idol was sitting behind the little short guy from "Smokey & the Bandit." I'm not even kidding.
8:55 - the writers from SNL are like 14.
8:56 - I'd like to know what percentage of Jon Stewart's writers are Jewish. Because it appears that they are all the buddies who grew up on his block in Jersey.
9:08 - Ricky Gervais really, really wants to host an awards show.
9:10 - Jon Stewart: "If the Oscar guys would write me a song...seriously. [*shrug*] I would sing."
9:11 - Ya know who I haven't seen tonight at all? Not even on the red carpet? Dr. House. *Oh that's right! He's in the mental institution.
9:22 - the President on 24 is from Paris, Tennessee. She just thanked "Mama & Daddy." Again, I'm not even kidding.
9:40 - Are women of film who are over 40 coming to TV because the television roles are so good, or because the film roles have all dried up?
9:49 - Okay, I've seen Hugh Laurie. I can go to bed now.
9:56 - Did Tina Fey just take a dig at the Jay Leno show?
10:00 - Between 30 Rock & Mad Men there's really not much suspense left in who wins the final awards for the night. Good night all.

didn't you like Kristen's pretty silvery dress. I still don't understand the glasses that Amy Pohler had them wear

Kalisa Hyman said...

I didn't get that either. But I think Kristin looked ADORABLE (as always).

Debbie in Jackson said...

I don't know what the hell Johh Cryer is wearing but he is one funny dude. I love his comment about the emmy being the only source of one's self worth. Side note: Amy Pohler's dress made a her look a bit dumpy next to Julia.

Kalisa Hyman said...

I agree. But didn't Amy recently have a baby? I chalked it up to that.

Debbie in Jackson said...

wow - is all I can say about Blake Lively. She is red hot

Kalisa Hyman said...

Not much to that dress, huh? It's backless, too.

Debbie in Jackson said...

I can't say I love Alec Baldwin, but he is quite the actor. Is it just me or are the jokes a bit flat tonight?

Kalisa Hyman said...

The best one so far was when Tina Fey said, "JT would still be rich & famous." Now you see why 30 Rock wins all the awards.

Debbie in Jackson said...

Didn't Alex look awfully sweaty accepting his award?

Debbie in Jackson said...

You should get Don Hammack on here with you to do a he says/she says bit

Debbie in Jackson said...

A second look at Jon Cryer - are those lapel and collar embellishments on his tuxedo, perhaps it's his memorial nod to Michael Jackson. I do kinda dig the sweater vest though.

Kalisa Hyman said...

I thought it was a Sgt. Pepper shout-out. Either way, he must've been sweltering on the red carpet.

Deb said...

Probst totally looked like he was doing lines in the bathroom, or something. Sweaty - no tie? WTH?

Debbie in Jackson said...

The Bacon and Kyra made nice pair of presenters and if I had Kyra's butt I guess it would be okay if the camera cut to it on each win. Wasn't Ken Howard so gracious...and witty with his little joke

Debbie in Jackson said...

Someone call the police - Patricia Arquette stole my Mardi Gras costume from the Zulu Ball!

Debbie in Jackson said...

Trivia - Jessica Lange is from Cloquet, Minnesota - a suburb of Duluth. Fashion kinda bypassed that part of the country because staying warm takes precedence

Don Hammack said...

@Debbie in Jackson: A he said/she said tonight would be a little disconnected. He is watching football, not the Emmys.

And "they" should let Ricky Gervais do whatever the hell he wants to.
