I Would Have Been Better Off Watching Sunday Night Football

For the record, I adore awards shows. I love the celebrities, the fashion, the music, the cheering for your fave movie/actor/musician, the anticipation of announcing the winners....♥ ♥ ♥ it all.

Last night at the Emmy's....yeah, not so much.

So last night was the prime time Emmy's which are supposed to recognize TV shows, actors, etc. and should not by any means be confused with the daytime Emmy's which honor soap operas, talk shows, etc. So anyway, here are my thoughts about last night's show (and don't act like you haven't been waiting for my opinion LOL). I'd also like to point out that I did not actually watch the show in its entirety, but by the time I nodded off at about 10:30, trust me, I'd seen enough.

  • Why was it previously recorded and shown at 8 p.m. PST, when it was in L.A. in the first place? In the time it took to watch the whole thing, I could have flown there. And back. So why was I required to watch a previously recorded telecast?!
  • The hosts were L-A-M-E. Were they that freaked out by having to follow Oprah, they could come up with absolutely nothing? These are supposedly the best in the bizz, as evidenced by the fact that they were each nominated for...(wait for it) an Emmy! And I was subjected this this kind of dribble? Pit-i-ful
  • Ladies of the Emmy's, please for the love of everything that is holy, I know that Summer has officially ended, but lay off the fake tanner!! (I'm talking to you Amy Poehler, Jennifer Love Hewitt, Lauren Conrad and Kristen Chenoweth)
  • Hey Emmy Assholes. Don't start promoting Josh Groban at like 8:05 when he doesn't actually show his face until 9:01. A good 20 minutes prior is perfectly acceptable.
  • And speaking of Josh Groban...whoever thought up the idea of having a theme song montage should be given a gold star. But Josh Groban should have been taken out behind the theater and beaten. Doing the South Park voices? Really? And rapping the Fresh Prince of Bel Air? I hope Will Smith threw an Ali-esque knock out punch right at his T.V. And when Groban was done, he really thought he was King Shit, didn't he? King Shitty is more like it. (God, where do I come up with this stuff?)
  • When the award winning Smothers Brother took the stage, who had the hook and why didn't they employ it? Thank god for the mute button.
  • If you're a producer or writer or director or someone who's not a part of the cast, say thank you and get off the damn stage. Because no one gives a shit.
I expect improvements Emmy people. But the fact that you had such dismal ratings, I guess I don't have to tell you that.
