Emmy Awards! (Kinda Late)


So obviously this is a blog about movies, so it would be stupid to not do a post on the Emmy's. Unfortunately, I completely forgot. So here it is. The Emmy's were great this year. Neil Patrick Harris from "How I Met Your Mother" (Which I love) was a great host. He was funny without being stupid and over the top.


There were a lot of upsets, or at least from my point of view. I mean Jon Cryer from "Two and a Half Men" instead of Dwight! Kristen Chenoweth in pushing daisies instead of Amy Poehler! What is this!? Bizzaro Hollywood? The Office didn't even get a nomination for Writing: of the 5, 30 Rock got 4 and Flight of the Conchords got 1. Honestly Flight of the Conchords is a really funny show, and deserved the nomination. But did the various writers of 30 Rock Really need 4 different nominations. 30 Rock also won outstanding comedy series. We get Academy, you like 30 Rock. Damn.


I was much more happy with some of the rest:

The Office - Outstanding Directing of a Comedy Series

American Idol - Outstanding Directing of a Variety/Music Series

Survivor/Jeff Probst - Outstanding Host for a Reality Program

Michael Emerson/Lost - Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series

Cherry Jones/24 - Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Drama Series


One thing about the Emmy's that kind of annoyed me was the Miniseries Category. It took such a long time to wait for all the people to come up, make their speeches, and honestly nobody had any idea what these shows were. I think it was a waste of time, it is good that they are getting recognition though.


Anyway, it was a great night, with plenty of musical numbers and Kanye West jokes. Oh and if you watched it leave a comment about what you thought.
