I only sort of half-watched the Emmy Red Carpet on E! and if I'd tried to live-blog the arrivals along with the actual show, I think I'd want to cut off my own fingers mid-way through, so here are the highlights:
-January Jones looks like a hot mess. Her hair looks like she's just been struck by lightning.
-It's Will Arnett and Amy Poehler's 7th wedding anniversary and they kiss on-camera. It is extremely adorable.
-WHY is Kristin from E! announcing her pregnancy on TV?
-Honestly I can't tell whether Lea Michele's high-pitched enthusiasm is fake or not. I'm torn.
-Fashion-wise nothing is really too awe-inspiring. Lots of navy and large hair. Dresses I liked (that I can remember): Brittany from Glee, Kim Karshasian (yeah, I know)...
Thank God the Emmys are actually live on the West Coast this year, so 1. if anyone curses or any streakers are present (i.e. anything remotely exciting) it won't be censored for us and 2. I can still catch Mad men at 10 tonight! Here goes...
-Okay the opening number was fun as hell. Al, you better find this one on YouTube. Jorge Garcia, Jon Hamm, Tina Fey, Joel McHale, Betty White, brunette girl who I think is from Vampire Diaries...Jon Hamm singing and dancing in the glee club. Jon Hamm looking handsome (this may be a recurring theme tonight).
-Jimmy makes a crack at what could go wrong asking a NY late show host to come to LA to host a new show. Shot of Conan looking faux-morose was BRILLIANT. Good job, cameraman.
-Supporting Actor Comedy: Eric Stonestreet! I think I would have preferred Ty Burrell, but he (Eric) is insanely funny as well, and I am not disappointed. Awww, Jesse Tyler Ferguson is crying. Eric Stonestreet gives a lovely speech and basically looks cutely shocked.
-Oh gosh introducing the best writing (comedy) nominees with asking them "Is writing funny?" and then letting them do what they do best (be funny) in pretaped bits is SUCH A GREAT IDEA. I'm starting to have really high hopes for this years' show. Modern Family writers win!
-Stephen Colbert! I will never tire of you. Aww, Tom Hanks mouthed "I love you" to Stephen. Hee. Best supporting actress, comedy: Jane Lynch! Ooh, Julie Bowen is kind of making the I'm-trying-not-to-look-disappointed look. Great speech. Didn't know she had a daughter.
-Lol, Matthew Perry and Lauren's Graham's bit really fell flat but they let it roll off their backs. Directing in a comedy (still loving the interview bits): Ryan Murphy. His suit is very shiny.
-This Modern Family spoof bit is very funny. OMG, the George Clooney cameos!!!! Dying!!! I'm overusing exclamation points!!! Forget the opening, this is the skit to find on YouTube.
-Lead Actor (comedy): Jim Parsons! I think he is hilarious, but I feel a little (a lot) bad for Steve Carell.
-Lead Actress (comedy): Haha, when the camera pans to Tina Fey as her name is listed, she mouths "3rd hairdo" as in, of the night. Edie Falco wins.
-I really like how they've separated the show by genre (i.e. comedy, reality, drama). The comedy section, at least, was great.
-Best reality show is Top Chef. Yayyyyyyy. I spy Padma and Gail on stage! Padma looks really excited and maybe a teeny bit drunk. Do they serve alcohol at the Emmys?
-ENOUGH of the Oprah's Final Season ads. There's been one like every commercial break.
-Ernst & Young time. I'm calling part one over.
