A completely nonspoilery comment about the Emmys

[apocalypsos]

Excuse me, I'll just be climbing Neil Patrick Harris like a treeeeeeee.

(Preemptive warning for spoilers in comments.)

LITTLE BIIIIIIIIIIIIIIT. GODDAMN YOU, ABC, FOR CANCELING PUSHING DAISIES AND NOW KRISTEN CHENOWITH IS CRYING AND THERE IS NO MORE LITTLE BIT TO BE HAAAD.

Also, CAT DEELEY. WIN.

EDIT: Look, I love Jon Cryer but I hate Two And A Half Men, so I can think of at least five other guys in that category I would preferred win that, and yes, I know there were only five other guys in it. Also, I gave a little shout of glee to see David sitting next to Neil and I confess to wishing he'd win if only because I was hoping to see a congratulations kiss out of them, because they're one of my favorite Hollywood couples.

OTHER EDIT: I'll admit it, I find Justin Timberlake adorable and funny as hell.

YAY, TONI COLLETTE! Also, that mustache is officially the only time I've ever laughed at Sarah Silverman.

She's looking particularly ... uh, bony in the shoulder area.

AfterElton reminded me that Jon Cryer was the one who said in an interview that gay actors should not come out of the closet because it "ruins the illusion." Ew. Jackass.

Leighton, I love you, but please use those things on your shoulders to wipe off that excess makeup.

Also, John Hodgeman is KILLING me.

PLEASE GOD LET IT BE ANYBODY BUT TONY SHALHOUB. OR CHARLIE SHEEN, NOW THAT I THINK ABOUT IT. Alec Baldwin? That'll work!

YAY REALITY!

Hayden looks FANTASTIC.

GODDAMN IT. Who does my Phil have to blow to win this award, seriously? Also, Jeff? It's okay, you can finish getting dressed for the Emmys.

Please, PLEASE give it to something I give a shit about watching. YAY AMAZING RAAAAAACE! Seriously, that and Project Runway and Top Chef are usually the first shows I'll suggest to anyone who doesn't think reality television can't be amazing.

I really have to sit down and watching Grey Gardens one of these days.

Also, heeeeeeee, that introduction.

YAY, Shohreh Aghdashloo! She is soooo gorgeous. Oh, honey, you're losing your breath. Ooo, and her husband's kinda cute.

I didn't know that Ken Howard had a kidney transplant! Aw, that was a lovely speech.

I can't help it ... the trailers for The Invention of Lying are making me want to watch it a LOT.

Oh, Kate. Your hair looks terrible. Chandra looks fantastically hot and she's making you look worse.

Brendan Gleeson! Aw, I like him.

Where is he GETTING this shit?! BWAHAHAHA.

DR. HORRIBLE! NATHAN FILLION! DOLPHIN NOISES!

Yay for Jessica Lange! ... uh, wow, she looks overtanned and that dress is really ill-fitting.

Um, hi, Anna Torv's breasts! Wow, she looks gorgeous tonight!

Yay, variety!

Uh, Kaley Cuoco, what's with the two-toned hair?

I always love the way they do the writing-for-variety-show nominations.

... what the hell is Jimmy Fallon DOING?

PLEASE LET MOTHERLOVER WIN! Okay, I'll take the Oscars opening number.

YAY DAILY SHOW! *dances*

YAY MICHAEL EMERSON! I don't watch anymore but he's got one damn fine reputation as an actor.

I really couldn't care less about the supporting actress category, although I'd kinda wanted Chandra Wilson or Sandra Oh to win because they were the only tolerable things left about that show when I quit watching.

Okay, the only thing making it okay for them to have Sarah McLachlan during this is that it's ACTUALLY Sarah McLachlan. And the In Memoriam clips are just another reminder that this year has sucked on toast when it comes to celebrity deaths. I lasted until Patrick Swayze before my eyes welled up, for the record.

Oh, they are NOT playing spooky vampire music to usher these two in.

"Learn how to tell them to go to hell in such a way that they'll want to." HA! That was a good line.

I'm sorry, but every time I see Matthew Weiner now I think of his awesome kid who dresses in, like, top hats and pocket handkerchiefs and shit. "If you look down the row at that guy at Starbucks with the computer, it's probably one of us." Pfft. Or me.

I'm rooting for Elizabeth Moss SO HARD. Although there are some really good actresses here. Okay, I'll take Glenn Close.

Oh, Dana Delaney, that dress is ... so very, very tight. And the winner is ... Bryan Cranston! YAY! Love him. I really do have to sit down and watch Breaking Bad.

30 Rock won? SHOCKER.

Mad Men won? SHOCKER. (See, the same things winning over and over again are why I don't like the Emmys. Not that they don't deserve to, but still.)

WHY IS IT CANCELLED OH GOD.

She'd better get more rocking parts now, so at least something can be reclaimed from that travesty of a network decision.

I would ADORE if they really did put her on Mad Men. I think she'd have a blast doing it and be perfect for it, too.

A casting spoiler for an upcoming Kristen appearance

Apparently she will be appearing on Glee at some stage. The fact that Defying Gravity is also on the season one soundtrack makes me incoherent with glee.
