The Emmy's!

What would an obsessive tv blog be without an Emmy roundup review?!



So here are my thoughts. -There are TONES of people who should have one...there are even more people who really DESERVED to be nominated. -And from what I have read on various websites a lot of people argree with me. (on the particular people specifically)

These people include,



  • Lauren Graham - I mean come on already! Although I must admit season 7 was not the best season...Lauren did a great job as usual!
  • Maura Tierney - I'd forgotten about her myself till I was reading other people's comments. She has been really great through the last few seasons of ER. -Everyone has forgotten ER even exists. Pitty.
  • Matthew Perry - I don't even know what to say about Matty. He just rocks!
  • Ellen Pompeo - okay she was in the top 10...but thats still not top 5. Thoughout season 3 I was able to not HATE Meredith anymore..infact now I like her a lot! Ellen was great in this season.
  • Kate Walsh - okay I'm not saying she has to WIN, but maybe next year now that she has her own show she might stand a chance.
  • Dave Annabele - He was great in the first season of B&S!
  • I would say Jill Hennessy..but I don't know if season 6 was as good as the others.

-There are probably a million more people who I will think of later...


anyways....

okay onto the actual happenings at the Emmy's.

I was extremely disapointed with the Red Carpet interviews done by Lisa Rinna and Joey Fatone. Terrible commentary. -They also somehow managed to not talk to a single cast member from Grey's Anatomy! And the questions they asked were just horrible! ...plus Lisa Rinna did seem to be on crack..like Joey suggested. I really hope those two don't make it back next year. ick! I could do a WAY better job.
I watched the E! red carpet coverage later on, and they talked to almost all of my favourite people, and had actual conversations and did not turn 'wacky'.

As for the awards shows,
I was very happy that Katherine won. But I was disapointed that that was only emmy for Grey's! I am not a fan of the Sopranos...and have never actually seen an episode. So as far as I know it could be the best show in the whole world...but it could be a terrible show. It seemed a little Sopranos centered to me.
Now I somewhat expected Heroes to not win. Sure it would have been nice if they had. :)

The set was horrific! It's a TERRIBLE idea to put so many people behind the stage. They would have spent the whole show looking at peoples backs! It's not like they were even little known actors or fans or something...they were winning people! Stupid.

I liked the opening number, not as good as Conan's song about NBC, but still entertaining. Ryan Seacrest was okay. Not great, but not overly terrible. -But the whole stupid costume thing...was stupid. And a waste of time really. The Sing-off thing was entertaining..sort of. Steve Colbert and John Stewart were entertaining. I thought when Kira Sedgewick, Mary-Louise Parker and Glenn Close came out they looked like Charlie's Angels. And I was glad to see a varied group of presenters from all my favourite shows...that were invited.

Also..whoever is doing the announcements...learn to pronounce peoples names! Especially those who are NOMINATED!

Best Dressed

I didn't think any of the dresses I saw were terrible. But maybe they weren't showing those. I loved all the ones that were brightly colored. -Except Minnie Driver's yellow one...but that might be bias, because I just don't like her.

I thought Katherine Heigl looked gorgeous! I liked Kate Walsh and Ali Larter in the red. -Ali Larter has this look like she's made to be there all glammed up. I didn't like Ellen Pompeo's hair..it was a bit odd. At first I thought she'd cut it really short.
I also was not a fan of Terry O'Quinn's bright metallic pink shirt...it just didn't work for me.

I sit on the fence regarding Vanessa Williams' feather dress. I liked the color, just not so sure about the feathers.


I might do a more extensive review of the fashions, when the magazines come out next week.

Kate Walsh - The Sitcom...SERIOUSLY

So in the last month..and a bit, I've been obsessed with youtubeing interviews with the Grey's Anatomy cast, mainly Kate Walsh.

Now I though Lauren Graham's interviews were weird and bizzare....okay they still ARE...

But in every interview Kate Walsh ends up talking about some weird thing that she did or happened to her, rather than about the show. (Which personally I find a little more interesting) Each time I hear something else that she's done, it gets me thinking of a sitcom. I've made a list (I was bored in a lecture), and I will post the list later of all the things that I feel could play out in an actual sitcom. So perhaps something to include on the Fall 2008 lineup. The Kate Walsh Show.

Seriously!

A Random Dream...Don't Get Me Started!

This is copied from an email I sent to my friend Ness...(with minor editing)

-----
Last night I had this majorly weird Gilmore Girls dream. It was like a full blown ep or something. (I'm going through serious withdrawels....plus watching Awww-worthy eps on foxtel sometimes doesn't help). Anyways...so in my dream, Lorelai (and Rory) moves to the country to get away from Stars Hollow...and Luke - this was set somewhere between when they broke up and when they got back together...-now I know you're probably saying to yourself, Stars Hollow isn't exactly city...but the was way way out middle of nowhere country...with horse and cart type stuff...so Rory is still going off to college, and comes to visit sometimes...I forget exactly what happened in the middle, but near the end..which has been at least a year or something I think, this guy comes in this horse and carriage, and gives them these tins (think those eclipse mint tins), they are black and have writing on them...saying Christopher's death date or whatever...like an obituary...and there reaction was sad...but not overly dramatic..which was a little strange...I think they didn't like Christopher for something...even Rory. SO anyhoo...I woke up around then...so I don't know what happened after that.... Possibly Luke tracked them down and came to visit...maybe. lol Oh and there was a fire and some weird guests too.


.....The problem was I woke up early (for a weekend) in the morning, like 7am or something, and then sat in bed for a while before I went back to sleep, thinking how much I want them to make a Gilmore Girls tv movie. -and also just how much I hated...okay hated is a strong word, anyways..the last season (7) just wasn't up to scratch really in some ways. They really dragged out the Christopher thing...and I REALLY hate Christopher, and then didn't get Lorelai and Luke back together till the very end of the finale. ...just wasn't satisfactory as an ending at all!
...plus there's the whole loose end that is Sookie's 3rd child...okay even if it was a real life thing written into the show...it should still be dealt with!

I think this whole, having no new eps of anything is really messing with me! I've got too much time to overthink things. -But you know what, I'm not the same way about the Crossing Jordan finale...I knew that CJ never stood a chance of ending in a good way...with Jordan and Woody have actually had a chance to TRY and have a relationship..rather than random one time deals...
Gilmore Girls always seemed tie up the loose ends they had, and had a very rounded out season...but season 7 felt too dragged out, and then they only had a short amount of time left for polishing it off.

Okay I will TRY and let it go....I said TRY!
