So, it goes on to say that they need 10 people to compete at 'regionals'. Along the hallway, they pick up Tina Fey (YES), Kate Gosselin in her Dancing with the Stars apparel (who they obviously deny into the group), Jon Hamm who is being taught dance lessons by none other than Betty White (who says, "back that mutha up" & "What the hell are you looking at?" to Chris), and Jane Lynch as Sue Sylvester (two words: fucking awesome). After getting slushied, they dance and sing 'Born to Run' down the hallway while picking up Jorge Garcia (Hugo from LOST), and a girl that most people did not know. Er, let me rephrase. No one knew who the F she was. With some research, turns out she is Nina Dobrev from The Vampire Diaries. Ugh, why not someone else like Amy Poehler or someone from Modern Family or Tom Hanks?? Oh well! The dancing continues as Joel McHale pops into frame as the beautiful giant funny man we all know and love. After some dancing and singing, Tim Gunn shows up changing Jimmy into his classic Bruce Springsteen outfit and tells him to make it work.
Now this entire cast of celebs run onto stage with Kate G in tow. Lord knows she only agreed to it so she would be included in the live show, get a free ticket & gift basket to the Emmy's. I can only hope it is her last appearance.
Randy Jackson then appears to help Jimmy with his guitar skills. They finish arms in hair to thunderous applause. A couple people help Jimmy with his tuxedo jacket as he turns to the crowd breathless to introduce them to the 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards.
He introduces John Hodgman as the commentator for the Emmy's. John described himself as a 'good friend and mortal enemy' of Jimmy's. Most of you know his from The Daily Show or the Mac ads with Justin Long (he's the PC guy). I really did like his narration throughout the show. It kept a consistent funny story line going throughout the show with his made up facts about nominees and recipients.
I really don't like how award shows are trying to be internet-friendly. Jimmy announcing twitter statements throughout the show was boring and not funny. Who cares what @momsbasement thinks about Susan Sarandon?
They did good intros for nominees that are not widely known in the viewer community. Like asking all the nominee's for writing for a comedy when they got their first laugh. It is a good way to keep the viewers from changing the channel.
Jane Lynch won for Glee for outstanding supporting actress in a comedy! It was her first win and well deserved. She has been in the business for many years and is one of the funniest women today. Check Best in Show or the rest of Christopher Guest mockumentaries if you think I'm lying. Or her scene stealing part in Role Models. Stephen Colbert gave her the award which I think was sentimental because they have been friends for years from Second City.
They did a Modern Family video bit. It was a company guy who was trying to 'improve' the show like adding Stewie from Family Guy, making it 3-D, the gay couple acts straight, killing of Ty Burrell and replacing him with George Clooney. You know, the norm.
The bit was really funny and successful. Especially since Modern Family took home the coveted trophy for Outstanding Comedy Series at the end of the show.A lot of shockers and first time winners at the awards this year:
Comedy:
Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family)
Jane Lynch (Glee)
Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory) - really surprised Tony Shalhoub didn't win because he wins all the time - I mean, is Monk still on tv???
Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie) - this was a really tough category but Edie would of been my least favorite
Drama:
Aaron Paul (Breaking Bad) - I'm officially watching Breaking Bad now
Archie Panjabi (The Good Wife)
Brian Cranston (Breaking Bad) - a big part of me was hoping Matthew Fox would of taken this one home
Kyra Sedwick (The Closer)
Miniseries or Movie:
Julia Ormond (Temple Grandin)
David Strathairn (Temple Grandin)
Claire Danes (Temple Grandin)
Al Pacino (You Don't Know Jack)
Best miniseries: The Pacific
Best movie: Temple Grandin
Best Drama: Mad Men
Best Comedy: Modern Family
As you can see - Temple Grandin tore it up. It is an amazing story and a well told made for TV movie. If you watched the telecast, you saw the real Temple Grandin there with her mother. It was truly the most touching part of the telecast especially when she joined the team onstage for best movie when everyone had tears in their eyes. So sweet! Also, I am personally obsessed with HBO. They put out the best stuff ever! I would be completely satisfied if TV had one channel - HBO. Well, HBO and ESPN.
A lot of the telecast could be skipped such as the constant twitter updates, reality awards, or NBC teaming up presenters that are from new shows appearing on NBC in the fall. Like the two actors from the new show Undercovers. Virtually unknowns. Who cares?
The Daily Show with Jon Stewart took away the Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series award AGAIN. Not to say they don't deserve it, just wish they would give someone else a chance. Like Conan. Jimmy only made one punch line with Conan and the NBC debacle. Which I think was enough. And since it was aired on NBC, the only joke they would allow.
My favorite award of the night is always the Outstanding Writing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Series. The intro scenes are thought up and filmed by the writers of each show (like Conan, Colbert, Jon Stewart, Dave) and they are always hilarious. They usually name every person in the show and they're long but HYSTERICAL. However, they chose to not do that this year to cut time. Once again, the writers are getting overlooked. Gay.
Ricky Gervais was a presenter for Outstanding Directing for a Variety, Music or Comedy Series. He did not let us down comedicly, "Mel Gibson's been through a lot. Not as much as the Jew's". He also did the repetitive joke of how all other awards suck except the Golden Globes because it is the only one you can drink at. So naturally, he had several waiters pass out some brews. We are all now lovers of Christine Baranski as she pounded hers.
I looked for a photo of Ricky presented at the Emmy's and stumbled on this one.
Forget the fucking Emmy's, oh my god.
George Clooney received the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award which we can all agree is well deserved. Jewel sang an unrecorded song for the Memoriam which was really beautiful. But one can't help at just staring at her teeth. Good god, get that shit fixed and get out of Stephenville, TX!
Lawrence Fishburne presented Outstanding Miniseries and Movie. When he was up there, all I could think of was how his daughter is doing pornography. And proud of it. I have a feeling we'll see more of her in the news... Ugh.
And Jimmy Fallon introduced Tom Selleck as his dad. And then ran over and gave him a bear hug. I thought it was hysterical because I think all of us want Tom Selleck as a dad sometimes. Well, maybe just his moustache.
In summation, a lot of hits and misses at the Emmy's. I think Jimmy did a pretty good job but not as good as Conan or Neil. But anything is better than when they did the reality hosts thing with Jeff, Heidi, Tom, Howie & Ryan. Good god that was terrible and painful to watch. Watch Conan's intro from 2006. It is the funniest video EVER. It includes him visiting LOST, The Office, 24, House, South Park & Chris Hanson's To Catch a Predator. Conebone69. Enough said.
And now for fashion. I won't go into depth but here are just a few of my favorites that I wanted to share! Enjoy!
Claire Danes
Armani Prive
Eva Longoria Parker
Robert Rodriguez
Mariska Hargitay
Vera Wang
Jennifer Carpenter
Oday Shakar
"Leslie and I have an amazing relationship and it's very physical, he still pushes all my buttons. People say 'oh but he's so much older than you' and you know what, I'm the one having to push him away. We have so much in common, we both love soup and snow peas, we love the outdoors, and talking and not talking. We could not talk or talk forever and still find things to not talk about."
-Sherri Ann Cabot played by Jennifer Coolidge in Best in Show
