EMMYS- LIVE BLOG

I've decided to watch the Emmys and blog live. I'm probably going to publish this without any pictures because living on the West Coast the broadcast isn't live. What that means for us is that if I try to check my email, search the web, or anything, a lot of the homepages will have who won and I don't want it to spoil my Emmys watching experience. It's quite frustrating and I think fairly rude for all of us who aren't on Eastern Standard time. I learned my lesson a few years ago when I went to check my email and the Yahoo homepage said CHICAGO WINS FOR BEST PICTURE. I cursed pretty badly at the computer and my roommate asked what was wrong. I didn't break it to her, since she really liked that movie. I also may have some misspellings.

Okay, so here we go. Wait, I'm still watching the pre-Emmy thing. Had to pause it for a few minutes while I peed. Let me fast forward.

Tonight they're doing the "Theatre in the Round" idea. Oh shite, Brian and Stewie are doing the first intro. For those of you who don't know they're from Family Guy. Love it. They're singing. Cute. Now get to the awards. Lord, they're knocking shows, said something about Isaiah Washington and then showed T.R. Knight. Awkward!

Ryan Seacrest looks good. Short, but good. I hope he doesn't bomb. He came up through the floor. Let's hope no one falls in that trap door. Maybe Britney, she's said to be making an appearance. Of course I think it's just a rouse, to get us to watch, and hope she doesn't lip sync. Uh oh, Ryan's accosting Eva Longoria. Okay Ryan, stop talking, give out some awards. This show is already too long. Oh no, Ryan's not going to sing is he? Oh good, he's not.

Yay, first award! Ray Ramona's presenting, looks like he's about to do my taxes. Nice yellow tie buddy. Is he wearing a wig? Crap, he was making jokes and all the sudden the sound went out and we got a great 5 second image of a globe. What the hell did Ray say? I'm going to have to talk to the people I know who were there to see what he said. Okay, is everybody going to talk for 10 minutes before they give out an award? This is going to be a loooonng night.

Okay Supporting Actor in a Comedy series. I'm rooting for Neil Patrick Harris for How I Met Your Mother. I doubt he'll win though, but he's hilarious on that show. I love that show. I know I've talked about it here before. And the winner is, Jeremy Piven. Great, let's reward someone for being a douche. I mean a douche in real life. Oh, that was a short speech. Let's keep that theme rolling.

America Ferrera and Vanessa Williams are presenting. Wow, they look beautiful. Supporting Actor in a Drama Series. This is a fun one. Ben from Lost is nominated. He was so wonderfully creepy. Let's see who else we have, if not I want Ben to win. Crap, T.R. Knight, George on Grey's. I want him to win too. Masi Oka (Hiro on Heroes)!!! This is a great category. Locke from Lost. Damn, Shatner's in this category. He's going to win. And I'm going to be pissed. Let's see. Yay! Locke one! If Masi couldn't win I'll take Locke.

Ryan's back, pointing out the ladies. He really needs to stop trying to convince us he's straight. Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series. None of these people are really impressing me. Maybe Jamie Pressley from My Name is Earl. Oh wait, Vanessa Williams from Ugly Betty. Yeah her. Oh wow, Jamie Pressley won. That's great. I like underdogs. She looks pretty. Is my roommate crying?!? Oh no, she's not.

Ha, the announcer mispronounced my girlfriend's name. Oh Katie. Best Actor in a Miniseries. I think. I wasn't paying attention because my Katie Heigl was looking cute. All I know is Aidan Quinn is nominated and he's hot. Thomas Hayden Church won. Good for him! First Emmy nomination and win. He was so good as Lowell on Wings.

Ellen's talking to Hugh Lurie from House, who can I tell you is so sexy when he speaks in his British accent. Lovely. We have a montage of one liners that ends with them talking about Tom Snyder. That was weird. Don't they have a special segment for that?

It's the crew of Entourage presenting next with Eva Longoria. Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. You know, they keep talking about how these women are "beautiful" which I'm not arguing, but they don't talk about the "handsome" men. Okay, back to this. Katie and Sandra Oh are nominated. Oh, and Dr. Bailey. I'll be good with any of the Grey's ladies. Yaaayyyyy!!!! Katie won!!!!!!!!!!!! I. Love. Her. I'm getting a little teared up. She's my special girl.

Writing for a Comedy or Variety show. They have funny little skits which I won't go into but they're funny, and Conan O'Brien wins! These guys are hilarious.

Directing for a Comedy or Variety Show. I'm not really interested in this one, but in case you are, Tony Bennett's show won. Oh, it's Rob Marshall who directed Chicago. At least, he has the same name and looks kinda like the guy who directed Chicago, who has the same name.

OH MY GOD, it's Jack Bauer. Oh, he looks beautiful. Lead Actor in a Miniseries or Movie. I'm pulling for William H. Macy or Matthew Perry. Robert Duvall won. I mean, good for him. I like him. And he acknowledged Kiefer for being a good horseman. Okay, that's hot. Okay, you can't play off Robert Duvall. Stop the music! He wrapped it up.

Oh, it's the cast of Roots. I love that! They're presenting for Best Miniseries. I'm voting for Broken Trail. Oh good, it won. Robert Duvall is doing the speech. He thanked the five Chinese girls. I hope that if I saw the miniseries I'd know what he was talking about.

Awe, there's Neil Patrick Harris. Some old chick is presenting the next one. Leslie Caron I think her name is. Oh shite, one of the directors of BSG is nominated. Go Felix! Frakkin' Sopranos!

Okay, another BSG nomination!!!! Go Ron Moore. Damnit! Sopranos!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!! I hate you Sopranos! I mean, I don't hate you, you're great, don't come after me. Whatever dude, shut the hell up, get off the stage, Ron Moore should have won.

Can we talk about this cute Macy's commercial with all these celebrities. P. Diddy, Martha Steward, Russell Simons, Jessical Simpson, Emeril, and a bunch of other people who escape me now that the commercial's over.

Steve Carell is presenting now. He's funny. Best Variety, Musical or Comedy series. Yeah, I don't care. But again, if you do, The Daily Show won. And of course it did. Let's see if they bring their all male lilly white team onto stage. Yup, he did. Oh wait, there's a lady. I wonder who she's screwing.

Best Variety, Musical or Comedy special. Can Wanda Sykes please win this? No? Okay, congratulations Tony Bennett. And he married his granddaughter, that's nice. Maybe they showed the wrong girl.

While he's giving his speech can we talk about how earlier when that old chick came out because she won for Best Guest Appearance by an Actress and they haven't said anything about the guy who won for Actor. It's weird, like they forgot. I just hope it was Forrest Whitaker. He was so good on ER.

Mark Harmon is looking pretty damn hot. What is he? 60? Supporting Actress for Miniseries or Movie. Judy Davis from The Starter Wife won. And she's not there. WTF? It's an Emmy! Why can't you be there? I apologize to Ms. Davis if she's sick or something, but if not, where the hell are you?

Awe, the Humanitarian Award. Where's Angelina? She should win this. I know she's not on TV, but she deserves it. I love her. She's my other girlfriend. Don't worry Katie, she would never take your place.

Best Movie goes to Bury My Heart at Wounded Knee. Again, I'm cool with that since the cutie pie Aiden Quinn is in it. I hate it when more then one guy talks because I'm like, come on, pick one guy, stop trying to get screen time.

Oh, a tribute to The Sopranos. Great, like they're not getting enough. But, the Jersey Boys perform, so I'm okay with it. Let's talk about what a good show that is. I didn't see it on Broadway, but I saw it here in LA and it was sssooo good. I recommend everyone see it. I wasn't sure about it, just going out for a night with the girls, but I was so impressed. I can't say enough good things about it. Oh look and now the entire cast of The Sopranos is coming out. The guys at the TV Academy know they're not real people right? They're not going to order a hit on you if you don't let all 2308402830428 of them come to stage, or you know, don't bend over and let them give it to you up the ass. I'm sorry, I'm bitter, they stole two awards from BSG.

I feel better now though, Patrick Dempsey's on stage. Oh, Lead Actress in a Miniseries or Movie. Let's hear it for Queen Latifa. But Helen Mirren won, big surprise there. I don't want to take anything away from her, she's a fine actress. She's adorable. Oh, it's a shot of Tony Bennett and his granddaughter. Crap. Maybe that is his wife. Yowza.

Lewis Black is going on about television executives. I think he's going to have a coronary. Oh look Ryan Seacrest. I feel like I haven't seen him in forever. And there's Ryan talking about hot women again. Oh, but this time he mentioned the hot guy too. I'll be the judge of that. Oh yeah. It's the guy from Cold Case. I agree with you Ryan, he is hot. The chick from Cold Case needs a frakkin cheeseburger STAT! Good lord, seriously. What happened to her?

Sorry, was distracted by anorexia. Best Directing for Movie or Miniseries. It goes to the guy who directed Prime Suspect, the movie Helen Mirren just won for. Skeletor is presenting best writing for the same category. It's the writer for Prime Suspect.

Awe, it's Masi again! I love him! Masi's working off of a MAC computer. Product placement! Love it. His voice sounds like a computer. Al Gore's getting an Emmy. I'm not really sure what they're winning for, but it's not for something "green". I just like seeing Al. I love Al. Why isn't Al our president? Oh right, I voted for him. (as well as most of the country! I'm just sayin') They better not play Al Gore off. That will be so wrong. He's our former Vice President. Okay, they didn't play him off.

Individual Performance in a Variety is next. I wonder if Tony Bennett's going to win. Yay, I hope it's Ellen. But it's gonna be Tony. Has Tony Bennett ever lost anything? Well, he didn't lose tonight. His great granddaughter looks happy for Pappy.

Anthony Anderson and Terri Hatcher are presenting next. That's an interesting pairing. Okay, finally, the best Guest Actor, but wait, it's for Comedy Series. What the hell??? Who the hell won for Best Guest Actor in a Drama??? All I know is Stanley Tucci won for Comedy, which is nice. He's up there with some old lady who walked the wrong way and doesn't know her cue. Oh, I think it was an act, she was funny. And old. You should have brought your glasses dear.

Best Directing for a Comedy Series. I'm not sure who won at first but then when I see the entire cast of Ugly Betty who's behind the presenters get up and cheer I can only assume he directed that.

Writing for a Comedy Series. Some guy from The Office won. I was hoping for Tina Fey. That chick is funny. And as Ryan Seacrest would say, she's hot too. This guy is using strange analogies. Isn't he a writer? Shouldn't he be funnier?

Oh no, Ryan's dressed like he's in The Tudors. That's not really a good look. Luckily we don't have to look at him that long. Wayne Brady's much easier on the eyes. And he's in a nice tux. Oh, Best Reality Competition! I don't know what I want to win. Two people are being called from the audience to participate in a Don't Forget the Lyrics competition. PLUG PLUG PLUG! Rainn Wilson is up against Kanya West. And the songs are Kanye songs. This is cute. I'm glad they're doing this, Kanye has been had some bad press. As hokey bits go, this one is a good one. Okay, here are the nominees. The Amazing Race, Idol, Dancing with the Stars, Project Runway, and Top Chef. Yay!!!!!! The Amazing Race!!!!!!

This is a good one. Lead Actor in a Comedy series. I like all these actors. Ricky Gervais wins. And he's not there. Steve Carell comes up though and pretends like he won. That was cute.

Hurie Lurie's coming. I hope he speaks. I mean, obviously he is, but I can't wait. Yeah, there it is! Lead Actress in a Drama series. I wonder if The Sopranos is going to win. Go Kyra Sedgwick! And the award goes to, Sally Field. That's interesting. I don't watch Brothers and Sisters, and don't care to. Oh, they cut away to what Sally was saying. Crap. I'll have to ask about that tomorrow too.

Awe, the In Memoriam thing. This always makes me so sad. Seems like the only "younger" person who passed away this year was Steve Irwin. But some real innovators and legends. Awe.

Lead Actresses in a Comedy series. Go America! Yay! She won!!!! Her dress is so beautiful.

Wait, stop the presses, Jimmy Smits is on stage. Good God that man is hot. Dude, I can't look at him. Anyway, Lead Actor in a Drama series. Go Hugh Lurie! Oh wait, Kiefer is nominated! Ick, James Spader won. I'm sorry, he can't be better then House or Jack. Seriously! Does he save people or, you know, the country! I don't want to watch anymore. Heroes better frakkin' win or this will be a whole waste of time. I mean, besides America and Katie. And can we talk about America being the only minority to win? I mean, I think.

I think there's only one more award. I hope so, I have to fold my laundry before I go to bed and am very tired. That would sucks if I was Tivo'ing this.

Okay, two more. Comedy Series. I want 30 Rock to win. I think Ugly Betty might win. Oh no, 30 Rock won!!!!!! I love that!!!! Why are there so many damn people on the stage. Oh good, short and sweet.

Shite, another damn commercial. They had to take another commercial to clear all those damn people off the stage. My butt hurts from sitting here for over 3 hours. I really need to put my laundry away. Oh, a movie with Mark Walhberg, Robert Duvall, Joaquin Phoenix and Eva Mendes! We Own the Night. That looks good. Just a warning, I'm not going to proof this. I'm going to just hit publish after this is over because, like I said, I have to put my laundry away. It's all across my bed and there's no way I can sleep like that. You understand, right?

This is torture. Just tell us who won for Best Drama. And if it's not Heroes I'm going to be pissed. But, thinking about it, it'd be a bit awkward if it won since it didn't win anything else. I don't even know if it was nominated. Why wasn't Milo nominated? Don't they have a category for hotness?

Okay, we're back. Oh, Grey's, Heroes, and House. Shite, Sopranos is nominated again. NNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNNOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOO. Freakin' Sopranos. I'm going to bed.

THE GOLDEN GLOBES



I believe this picture speaks for itself. It's yelling "I'm hot! I'm hot!"



As I'm putting the finishing touches on the first half of the 24 premiere recap, I have to say a few things about the Golden Globes last night. Guess what? Helen Mirren won. Didn't see that one coming. See, this is me being sarcastic. I have to say the old broad looked good. You know who else looked good? Josh Halloway. He'll always be Sawyer to me. But take a look. How can any red blooded woman (or gay man) not be in love with that?







Really Beyonce? Really? Did you practice that in front of the mirror?



The big winner of the night was Jennifer Hudson. Do you realize this girl was on American Idol not two years ago? And she lost! Thank goodness she did though because the producers would have a serious part of her ass and she probably wouldn't have been able to do the movie.






She's not ugly at all!



Can I tell you the moment last night that left me a little teary eyed? Okay, I teared up twice. The first time was when Ugly Betty won for Best Comedy. The second time was when Ugly Betty herself, America Ferrera won. She gave the cutest little speech which I thought for sure would be marred by the famous Camryn Manheim "This is for fat chicks everywhere". Thank gooodness sweet America didn't do that.





24 didn't win, and neither did Jack, I mean Keifer. Grey's won for the Best Drama, and I'm okay with that, since it is my second favorite show. And Hugh Lurie won for Best Actor in a Drama for House. Again, I'm not totally about to slit my wrists, but I would have liked Keifer to have won. Or 24 to win anything, which it didn't. What the hell's that about?And I can't begrudge Forrest Whitaker for winning Best Actor since I hear he was amazing in The Last King of Scotland. I would have liked to see Will win, because he is a great actor, and Leo. I think fate is against Leo though. It seems last time he was up for awards it was against Jamie Foxx and Ray. Poor guy. Leo does deserve an award, but he and his agent should really see what other movies are out and try to work around it.








Work it out girl!



Can I mention Vanessa Williams? Talk about beautiful. Tim Allen said it best when he said, 'If good looking were minutes, it'd be a long day.' Her hair, her dress, her face. The make-up artist did a good job covering the wrinkles and marks. They should hire her on Ugly Betty. I'm sorry, but I have an HDTV and sometimes she can look harsh. Still attractive, but harsh nonetheless.




Gorgeous!



And wait, I can't stop without talking about my girl crush. Actually, both of them were there. First let's talk about Miss Jennifer Garner/Mrs. Affleck. Yeah, wore a sorta boring dress. I mean, this girl has worked it out with gorgeous red or purple dresses and she chooses this boring thing? But still, face, dimples, gorgeous, love it. And then of course was my true love, Katherine Heigl. Alone because fiancee Josh Kelly was touring, looking so beautiful I just didn't know what to do with myself. Our Izzie sure cleans up nice.






All in all it was a good show. Warren Beatty bored the panties off me. And Tom Hank's plugs need some work, but damn, is it just me or does John Stamos get better with age? Maybe it's an ER thing (Clooney anyone?). And who saw my lovely Milo, looking all cute in a tux with all the other Heroes. I was sad it didn't win, and Jeremy Irons over Masi? I would take Hiro any day over some boring Brit. No offense to my British readers, but can you get your own award show please? Helen, Hugh, Jeremy and some other guy who won for the Queen. Please. Congratulations though.




See, told ya.

I've added a few more pictures here at the bottom.







You know I love Hanks, but, um.. hairplugs!









How embarassing to walk in with that. I'm sure he likes her that way though. (She actually looks nice)







That's her boyfriend, Micheal Buble doing that. Yes, I said her BOYfriend







What the hell's going on here? Are they at prom?







I love my girl, but she needs a comb.







I would feel sorry for her, but she's choosing to sleep with that every night.







Looks how beautiful Drew looks!


She's been eating! Amazing!

My favorite couple of the night. GEORGEOUS!

GOLDEN GLOBES

This morning the Golden Globe nominations were announced. Unlike the years before, nearly every category is exciting and nearly every category I have more then one favorite. I've highlighted who I think should win.

BEST MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA
(I've only seen one of these, Babel, and I'm really mad I can't get those 2 hours back. I've heard only good things about all the others, especially Bobby and The Departed)

BABEL
BOBBY
THE DEPARTED
LITTLE CHILDREN
THE QUEEN

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA
(Yeah, haven't seen these either, but I'd love for Kate Winslet to win. Helen Mirren and Judi Dench need to move over and let some other people win)

PENÉLOPE CRUZ VOLVER
JUDI DENCH NOTES ON A SCANDAL
MAGGIE GYLLENHAAL SHERRYBABY
HELEN MIRREN THE QUEEN
KATE WINSLET LITTLE CHILDREN

BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MOTION PICTURE – DRAMA
(Leo kinda deserves it because he's been overlooked a bunch of times, but Will Smith looks like he rocks it in the previews. I also hear Forest Whitaker's performance is chilling and steals the entire movie)

LEONARDO DICAPRIO BLOOD DIAMOND
LEONARDO DICAPRIO THE DEPARTED
PETER O’TOOLE VENUS
WILL SMITH THE PURSUIT OF HAPPYNESS
FOREST WHITAKER THE LAST KING OF SCOTLAND


BEST MOTION PICTURE – COMEDY OR MUSICAL

BORAT: CULTURAL LEARNINGS OF AMERICA FOR MAKE BENEFIT GLORIOUS NATION OF KAZAKHSTAN

This is a hard one though because we have American Idol reject and breakout star Jennifer Hudson, who is a great underdog story, and the beautifully amazing Cate Blanchett. I'm gonna leave this one blank because it's too hard. I love it!)

ADRIANA BARRAZA BABEL
CATE BLANCHETT NOTES ON A SCANDAL
EMILY BLUNT THE DEVIL WEARS PRADA
JENNIFER HUDSON DREAMGIRLS
RINKO KIKUCHI BABEL



BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A MOTION PICTURE

Something tells me this is Eddie Murphy's last hurrah. I'd love little Violet Affleck's daddy to win, but wouldn't it be great if it was Marky Mark. Maybe he'll bring his Funky Bunch)

BEN AFFLECK HOLLYWOODLAND
EDDIE MURPHY DREAMGIRLS

ALEC BALDWIN 30 ROCK
ZACH BRAFF SCRUBS
STEVE CARRELL THE OFFICE
JASON LEE MY NAME IS EARL
TONY SHALHOUB MONK


BEST MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION

BROKEN TRAIL (AMC)
ELIZABETH I (HBO)
MRS. HARRIS (HBO)
PRIME SUSPECT: THE FINAL ACT (PBS)


BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION

SOPHIE OKONEDO TSUNAMI, THE AFTERMATH


BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION

AND THE EMMY GOES TO...

Me. Just joking. Unfortunately, while the Emmys were going on, I was on a plane flying 3000 miles back to LA. I Tivo'd the show, but what's the point really? Once you've missed it, and can't talk about it the next day, you're pretty much out of the loop. I was able to catch the best awards, for Best Drama and Best Comedy Series. You know what won for Best Drama? Do you? DO YOU!?!? 24, baby!!! And really, are we surprised. Actually, I'm very surprised. I didn't think anyone appreciated this amazing show, but me, my roommate and best friend. To top it off, Kiefer also won for Best Actor in a Drama. The Gods were smiling down on us, and I missed it!!! What the hell? Also, I wanted to upload some pics from it but it's not working and I don't have patience to wait. Although, my girl crush, Katherine Heigl, was looking stellar.


Here's who won...


Outstanding Drama Series
24
YAY!!!!!! Finally some recognition!


Outstanding Comedy Series
The Office
I don't watch this show but everyone talks about how funny it is.


Outstanding Miniseries
Elizabeth I
Yawn.


Outstanding Made For Television Movie
The Girl In The Café
I watched some of this while I was in a hotel in San Diego last year and I was entralled. Didn't get to see the whole thing though.


Outstanding Reality-Competition Program
The Amazing Race
I'm sure they weren't talking about the family edition.


Outstanding Reality Program
Extreme Makeover: Home Edition ABC
I love this show! I'm so glad it got recognized.


Outstanding Variety, Music Or Comedy Series
The Daily Show With Jon Stewart
I didn't see them all get up there, but last year when they did it was a bunch of 40 year old white guys. Diversity is funny too Jon!


Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series

EMMY NOMS


Yesterday morning I woke up and immediately went to my computer to find out who got nominated for Emmys. The announcement came before 6AM. I was not awake then. In fact, I think I was in the middle of a dream where John Mayer was telling me he loved me. Yup, he was. What? Dreams can come true.

Anyway, in my robe, with bleary eyes, as I brushed my teeth, I sat at my computer and read the 29 page nomination PDF file. I had to rub my eyes a few times to see if what I was looking at was true. Later inspection here at work, led me to believe it was, is. I'll just go over the big categories, Drama, Comedy, Actor and Actress in each, Supporting Actor and Actress in each, and reality shows. What the hell were they thinking?

Left out of all of the major categories, except Guest Actor for the man who plays Desdmond (rightfully) was LOST. Yes, I said LOST. LOST!!! The Emmy winner last year, got just about completely snubbed. I have mixed feeling with the Drama category. On one hand I'm extremely happy. Grey's Anatomy AND 24 got nominated. That makes complete sense. And the fact that Desperate Housewives got snubbed is just great. That show, although rallying at the end there, totally sucked for most of the season. Alfre Woodard did get nominated for Best Supporting Actress though, but I don't really count her, especially because she won't be in it anymore.

What I just don't understand is not choosing two of the greatest shows on television, definitely in my opinion, in the top 5 and should have been nominated. LOST, of course, and Battlestar Galactica. I know I don't talk about this show, since it'd be sorta a conflict of interest, but it's one of the best out there. It frustrates the living crap out of me that this show doesn't get recognized. Luckily, every critic who watches it thinks it's stellar, but the people who control the voting system don't seem to pay any mind to it, since it's "sci fi". I beg of all of you who don't watch it, watch one episode. Start to finish, making sure you watch the 'previously on' part and if you don't want to see what happens next, then fine, but 9 times out of 10, you will.

Here's a breakdown of the top nominations and who I think should win...

RADIO MUSIC AWARDS


So, I'm not really into the Radio Music Awards and honestly, if it wasn't for all the repeats, I'd be watching Prison Break. But since I'm not I thought I'd give you guys the highlights. Sorry there aren't more pictures, apparently Mariah Carey's boobies ate them.

I'm a reality tv whore. Coupled Suzy and Matt from The Biggest Loser.

Tonight's show is hosted by Mark McGrath (Sugar Ray) and Jaime Pressly (My Name is Earl). They're pretty cute together and their first little monologue gives me hope that there aren't going to be any dumb jokes the writers make them say. I'm wrong. We're treated to George Wendt, Cheers' Norm, pretending to be Santa. I'm not fooled though, he doesn't have his beard on and is surrounded by hookers. Hey, it's Vegas, they may be hookers. If not they're cheap showgirls. I know that's saying the same thing, but you know what I mean. First up is Keith Urban. I never actually heard him perform, and he is a good performer, although he sounds a bit girlie. Nicole Kidman must like those kinds of guys. Lenny Kravitz, Keith Urban, and of course the poster boy for closet cases, Tom Cruise. Next up is Mary J. Blige, man this chick can blow. I forgot this was an awards show until they do the Song of the Year from a mainstream artist. Mariah Carey wins and I'm happy about that. She probably has the best album of the year and I'm excited that she's made a comeback. And we were treated to her magic breasts. Now for years Mariah has been swearing her boobs are real. I've always believed her, but tonight's really changed my mind. Especially after I saw that episode of Tyra where she took her bra off and she hung nearly to her belly button. I don't know what kind of invisible bra Mariah was wearing, but they were giving her great lift. Seriously, if these are real then I need to know where she buys that damn bra.

I heard the Goo Goo Dolls were a last minute addition after poor Ashley Simpson collapsed in Japan or somewhere. What's sad is they weren't even the second choice because Bo Bice was supposed to perform and this morning he started coughing up blood. His name is still in the credits, so I'm hoping he's here. I like that guy and haven't seen him perform since American Idol. Now I'm not into country music, but I can tell you that one of the best songs of the year, country or not, was Tim McGraw's Live Like You Were Dying. But of course it went to Nicole Kidman's man Keith Urban. I mean good for him and all, but Tim McGraw!

Snoop is so cool. Sorry, I just had to say that. I also have to talk about Ricky Martin. Yes, that says Ricky Martin. He was shakin' his gay bon bon. We need to have an intervention with him and Mariah. Yeah yeah, I know he's Latin, and I guess those moves could be his Latin flare, or it could be the fact that he loves men. Hey, there's nothin' wrong with loving men, I love men. But Ricky, who are you tryin' to fool?

I had to take a pee break, but when I come back the Pussycat Dolls are singing that Santa, Baby song and Snoop is playing Santa. He's so cool.

Michael Buble (I don't know if that's how you spell it, but it sounds like a French person saying bubbly) performs next. He's a crooner, looks a bit like Rob Thomas and Chris Penn (Sean's fatter, uglier brother from Footloose) mixed together. More on the Chris Penn side, but still kinda cute with a nice voice. A bit boring, but would be nice to listen to on a rainy day or after a long day on the ride home from work.

Next Mariah is presented with the Legend award. That's nice. There are her boobies again. Nice, Mariah gave a shout out to the presenter, Mary J. Blige, mentioning her record dropping the next day. Mariah must have just been born again because she and God are tight. They talk all the time, mostly when she's getting an award.

Jaime Pressly looks pretty in her blue dress. She's just introduced someone named Rascal Flatts. I think that's what she said. Oh, I know this song, it's pretty. Yeah, yeah, country, but this doesn't sound as much like country. And I think it's a remake anyway. I really don't know, but I think it's a nice song.

I'm a bit distracted. No, it's not Mariah's boobs again. It's Lauren Holly's boobs. This woman doesn't age. She must go see Dr. Rey from Dr. 90210. Forget her though, Shane West is her co-presenter. Those Rascal Flatts guys just won some dumb country category. Damn, the scroll on the bottom that tells us who's coming up after the commercial is going at about 400 miles an hour. My head hurts.

Man, some special report from the news. Apparently some plane had to make an emergency stop at LAX because of a blown tire. Everyone is okay.

Lifehouse

So, Gavin DeGraw and Lifehouse are playing back to back. I've never seen the Lifehouse guys but the lead singer looks like Ryan Gosling, nice. The next six and a half minutes are for the ladies. Gavin DeGraw has a great ass. Sorry, just had to say that. Not the greatest looking guy but wow, the man has a nice butt.

The Backstreet Boys are the next presenters but there's only three of them. Not really sure who's missing. Oh wait, Lance. Is he a Backstreet Boy or is he N'Sync? Am I actualy wondering this? Regardless, the Backstreet Boys aren't unified. Another damn country music award. I don't know who was nominated and I don't know who won. Goo Goo Dolls I think won something, but I was too busy looking for a good picture of that hot Lifehouse guy. Okay seriously, are these the CMAs? Another country singer!? Sugarland. They look like Mama Cass, Shania Twain and Toby Keith. Okay, just the fact that I know those three makes me think maybe I'm a bit more into country than I thought.

Oh wait, it's over. I guess they decided against the whole, going out with a bang thing. Sugarland? That was the big finale? Mary J. Blige brought the house down and she was the second performer? That's like making Sammy Sosa bat second or making Marion Jones run second in the relay. Okay, maybe I'm not the best at sports analogies, but you get my drift. Mary should have been the anchor, not crappy second. Anyway, it was a pretty good show. I wish Mariah would have performed though, and of couse John Mayer (who I didn't see) and Maroon 5 would have been nice, but hey, this ain't the Grammy's.

GOLDEN GLOBES


So, this morning the nominations were announced for the Golden Globes. This is gonna be a pretty tough year. Check out who got a nod...
BEST TELEVISION SERIES - DRAMA
COMMANDER IN CHIEF (ABC)
GREY’S ANATOMY (ABC)
LOST (ABC)
PRISON BREAK (FOX)
ROME (HBO)
I think it's a toss up between Grey's Anatomy and LOST. I think I might lean towards LOST but damn if Grey's isn't a great frakin' show. Speaking of frakin', Battlestar Galactica? Where's the love?
BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES
Patricia Arquette
MEDIUM
Glenn Close
THE SHIELD
Geena Davis
COMMANDER IN CHIEF
Kyra Sedgwick
THE CLOSER
Polly Walker
ROME
I really don't have an opinion on this one because I only watch The Closer and Medium. Between those two I like Sedgwick. Geena Davis was just so bland in the few episodes of Commander in Chief I watched.
BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES - DRAMA
Patrick Dempsey
GREY’S ANATOMY
Matthew Fox
LOST
Hugh Lurie
HOUSE
Wentworth Miller
PRISON BREAK
Kiefer Sutherland
24
This is definitely the toughest category for me. Wentworth Miller, I mean really, do we care if he can act, I don't. Matthew's great as Jack on LOST but I think a better choice would have been Josh Hollaway. He's brillant as the tortured soul Sawyer. Patrick has pulled a Travolta and had a major comeback. Kiefer has kept the crazy one day a season life of Jack Bauer fresh and at moments heartbreaking (remember the end of last season when he broke down in his car???). I have a feeling this will go to Hugh Lurie. I don't watch the show but people talk about what a good job the guy does. I'm secretly wanting Wentie because besides those damn Weavers, I like the underdog. But damn, Kiefer can act the hell out of some Jack Bauer.
BEST TELEVISION SERIES - MUSICAL OR COMEDY
CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM (HBO)
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES (ABC)
ENTOURAGE (HBO)
EVERYBODY HATES CHRIS (UPN)
MY NAME IS EARL (NBC)
WEEDS (SHOWTIME)
So I'm torn in this category too. Curb is one of the funniest shows out there. I laugh out loud throughout the entire show. Desperate Housewives, well you know how I feel about that. I think the fight is on between My Name Is Earl and Everybody Hates Chris. Earl is truly a genius show and Earl himself is so endearing. Chris on the other hand, is just hilarious. Coming from the mind of Exec Producer Chris Rock, how can it not be. They're both break out shows so I'll be happy if either wins.
BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A TELEVISION SERIES - MUSICAL OR COMEDY
Marcia Cross
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES
Teri Hatcher
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES
Felicity Huffman
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES
Eva Longoria
DESPERATE HOUSEWIVES
Mary-Louise Parker
WEEDS
Seriously, these are my choices? I abstain. It would be cool to see Felicity win two awards that night. For this and Transamerica.
BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A TELEVISION SERIES - MUSICAL OR COMEDY
Zack Braff
SCRUBS
Steve Carell
THE OFFICE
Larry David
CURB YOUR ENTHUSIASM
Jason Lee
MY NAME IS EARL
Charlie Sheen
TWO AND A HALF MEN
No brainer, Jason Lee as Earl.
BEST MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION
EMPIRE FALLS (HBO)
INTO THE WEST (TNT)
LACKAWANNA BLUES (HBO)
SLEEPER CELL (SHOWTIME)
VIVA BLACKPOOL (BBC AMERICA)
WARM SPRINGS (HBO)
The only one of these I saw was Empire Falls and it was God awful. I heard Into the West was bad too. I've seen promos for Sleeper Cell and it looks excellent, but I don't have Showtime so I can't watch it. Sorry I'm no help on that one.
BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A MINI-SERIES OR A MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION
Halle Berry
THEIR EYES WERE WATCHING GOD
Kelly MacDonald
THE GIRL IN THE CAFÉ
S. Epatha Merkerson
LACKAWANNA BLUES
Cynthia Nixon
WARM SPRINGS
Mira Sorvino
HUMAN TRAFFICKING
Yeah, sorry, still haven't seen any of this. I love S. Epatha Merkerson on Law and Order, so I'll vote for her.
BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A MINI-SERIES OR A MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION
Kenneth Branah
WARM SPRINGS
Ed Harris
EMPIRE FALLS
Jonathan Rhys Meyers
ELVIS
Bill Nighy
THE GIRL IN THE CAFÉ
Donald Sutherland
HUMAN TRAFFICKING
I want the Sutherland boys to sweep.
BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTRESS IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A SERIES, MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION
Candince Bergen
BOSTON LEGAL
Camryn Manheim
ELVIS
Sandra Oh
GREY’S ANATOMY
Elizabeth Perkins
WEEDS
Joanne Woodward
EMPIRE FALLS
I pray the Hollywood Gods won't strike me down for saying this, but Joanne Woodward was ghastly horrible in Empire Falls. Seriously, it was distracting how bad she was. I gotta give it to my girl Sandy, she's spectacular on Grey's.
Last, but not least...
BEST PERFORMANCE BY AN ACTOR IN A SUPPORTING ROLE IN A SERIES, MINI-SERIES OR MOTION PICTURE MADE FOR TELEVISION
Naveen Andrews
LOST
Paul Newman
EMPIRE FALLS
Jeremy Piven
ENTOURAGE
Randy Quaid
ELVIS
Donald Sutherland
COMMANDER IN CHIEF
As much as I would love to see Donald win this one too, Jeremy Piven is just amazing on Entourage. He makes the show, so I think he should win.
So those are all of the tv nominees. A quick look at movies, Brokeback Mountain leads with 7 nominations, and George Clooney is nominted for Best Director (Good Night and Good Luck), Best Screenplay (GLAGN), Best Supporting Actor (Syriana) and his movie (GLAGN) is nominated for a few other things, including best picture. Terrance Howard is also nominated for Best Actor for Hustle and Flow and Matt Dillion for probably one of, if not the, best performance of his career, as the racist cop in Crash. Oddly enough, horse mouthed so so actress Keira Knightly is nominated for the twenty-ninth adaptation of Pride and Prejudice.
