We watch a lot of TV. Good TV. Bad TV. TV we feel guilty for watching. TV we feel smart for watching. And all TV in between.

"live" blogging the emmys, part two

My pencil wrists are starting to get a bit sore, but on we go. As they say on The Hills, "Jer-RAMA!!!!!!!!"

-Writing: Mad Men wins! MM was nominated twice in the category and I can't catch which episode has won...Never mind, it's Shut The Door, Have A Seat. Well, well-deserved. Glam shot of Jon Hamm during Matt Weiner's speech. He really needs to tone down the smug, though.

-Supporting Actor: Aaron Paul for Breaking Bad. Nor familiar with him or the show but apparently he's reeaaaaaaallly good in the show...Ack,they're going so fast during this show I can't keep up! BTW, this will be the one and only time I complain about an awards show going too fast. Thank God, commercial break so I can rest my fingers and empty my bladder (TMI?)

-Emily Deschanel is pretty (Bones is my guilty pleasure show, ok?). Her dress is sadly not. Supporting actress: Archie Panjabi. I don't watch The Good Wife but I remember her as the sister from Bend It Like Beckham.

-Actor: These guys are all really handsome. Note: I totally used to watch Early Edition with Kyle Chandler where that cat used to bring him the next day's newspaper...did they ever figure out who was bringing that newspaper? Anyway, Bryan Cranston again! Steve Carell : Best Actor Comedy :: Hugh Laurie : Best Actor Drama. And by the looks of it, Jon Hamm too. And I still haven't really forgiven the Emmys for snubbing Martin Sheen like five years in a row for West Wing.

-Commercial. You know what sucks? That they moved the talk show writing award to the Creative Emmys. One of the best parts of that was the late show writers' names bit. The Conan one is at least on YouTube. Lol.

-Directing: Dexter. According to John Hodgeman's commentary, the writer's first TV memory was watching Doctor Who. I wrote that because I had nothing else to say, as I don't watch Dexter.

-Lol at NBC's "George Clooney in 17 minutes" scroll at the bottom of the screen. Subtle AND classy, NBC.

-Not quite sure about Jimmy's musical "tribute to three shows we lost this year," but man he is giving it his all this year. I will not object to a Boyz II Men shoutout though. Never mind, his Matthew Fox impression ("We have to go baaaack!") made me laugh. All in Billie Joe Armstrong costume!

-Actress: Kyra Sedgwick. Kevin Bacon shot! He has a mustache. They're like one of the celeb couples that I would be horribly depressed about if they split. Very surprised Juilianna Margulies did not win. She was winning everything up until now.

-Moving onto Variety...dear God this show is going soooo fast. What categories are left? It's only been 1.5 hours. I love how in awards show time that's considered fast. In real life, I could have baked a casserole or something. That's a little depressing. How many hours will I spend watching awards shows in my life???

-Joel McHale makes Jeff Probst look tiny. Writing (variety): The Tonys.

Okay it's time to refuel (i.e. eat dinner for me and plug in for the laptop), so I'm taking a small break.
