auntie emmy...auntie emmy...

So...the morning after the emmys...and i can honestly say...ugh...a snoozefest...there were some funny moments on both the red carpet and show...all i am sure unintentional...jon hamm on the red carpet...i am sure we will read about in some gossip column, or see on any given entertainment show the reason for the beard...but as he sauntered down the carpet i thought...he looked like he was ready to conduct a los angeles kabbalah service...then the awkward interview moments when ryan seacrest shoves one waif on stilts down the steps for another being shoved up the steps...the exception being the lovefest between claire danes and lena dunham which distracted me for 30 seconds from the incredibly hideous dress lena wore and the fact that claire looked like she just came out of auschwitz...then the show started...merritt weaver, i am sorry i do not know who you are because with 1 billion shows on tv and netflix i have n0t seen "nurse jackie" but i would like to know what you were taking because it might help with some shoulder pain i've been having...julia louis dreyfus...yes, we get it you are the perennial emmy darling and that you could star in an abc family remake of "eight is enough" and win, but humility goes a long way...the obviously rehearsed acceptance speech shtick was not endearing...melissa leo...what circus trunk did you raid for the outfit, or maybe you were confused and thought it was a broadway open call for patina miller's future replacement in "pippin"...then the endless breaks to remember those that passed this year...instead of one "dead" montage, the producers this year decided to take any entertainment value that neil patrick harris had generated, and then level that by sticking in several painful tributes...this leaving the telecast d.o.a.....and as i waited, in vain, for the show to come to life i thought that maybe instead i should have driven to the multiplex for a dose of "the wizard of oz"...now in 3D...hmmm...maybe neil patrick harris should have made a stop at the wizard's...cause this emmy really needed some courage, brains...and most importantly...a heart!
