The stars! The gowns! The male red-carpet interviewers who didn't know shit about fashion!
Seriously, who put those morons in charge? I flipped back and forth between two red carpet shows so I got to see both Ryan Seacrest and Billy Bush sound like idiots. What happened to good old fashioned DOING YOUR HOMEWORK? Kathy Griffin is not acceptable as a red carpet interviewer but these guys are? Puh-leeze. She may not be PC but she kills with the funny bone. Alas, too many Hollywood types with sticks up their butts.
This year I actually watched the Emmy show, too. I usually avoid awards shows. I find them to be fraught with suspense. Will she trip on her dress? Will he say something stupid? Will the presenters stumble through their scripted "banter" and embarrass themselves beyond all hope of redemption?
It's too horrifying to watch. But watch I did this year, and...surprise!...it was pretty good. Who knew Conan O'Brien could be funny? (Yes, I have seen his Late Night show. Still I wasn't sure.)
If you missed the Emmy's, or if you just want to experience it all over again like you're Right There, check out Popwatch's Liveblogging of the Emmy's. They also liveblogged the NBC and E! preshows as well as Melissa & Joan. These writers are hilarious. Enjoy.
