I just finished watching the Emmys and as usual I’m aggravated. My girl, Lisa Kudrow lost to Julia Louis Dreyfus. While Julia is charming, and yes cute/funny/neurotic in the show that’s ‘okay’, there’s just no comparison as to who was more deserving. But of course the Comeback was probably just a little too weird for Emmy voters. At least she got a nod. Tony Shaloub as Monk. As Brigitte would say…REALLY? REALLY? The man gives an identical performance every show and he’s so good he needs three Emmys? One is fine. Two is pushing it. But 3? Blythe Danner for Huff? Yeah. She’s getting a lot of mileage out of that Bruce Paltrow connection. On the other side of the coin I was glad to see Mariska Hargitay win an Emmy. I think hers was a case of being well liked. She;s great in Law and order SVU, but…She could have mentioned Jayne and let out a squeal or something. Perhaps she was paying tribute to mother by way of figure. My favorite moments were Stephen Colbert saying what I thought when it happened. Barry Manilow just beat Stephen Colbert. God bless Stephen for saying it on national Television. I loved the Bob Newhart in a air-tight booth gag and I thought Conan did a good job. I thought he did the Music Man parody wonderfully. That’s a hard one to recite! What else??? Oh, stupid Amazing Race won again? Project Runway is so much more interesting. I thought Dick Clark’s appearance was touching and I’m sure superficial people all over the nation celebrated the reunion of the original Charlie’s Angels. Those jerks could have given them a standing O. I mean, really, would it have killed them? Jaclyn Smith must drink the blood of infants. Tonight is proof that even when it runs on time the Emmys are boring.
