Quick Emmy Thoughts  
Okay, before everyone forgets even watching them (I know I will) ...


  • Seacrest, in! He disappointed me a little bit, I must say. And his tie was a major problem.

  • Katherine Heigl has dropped some pounds - I preferred her curvier, but we're in a society where fecking Keira Knightly whines that she is "twice the size of most Hollywood actresses."

  • Wayne Brady/Rainn Wilson/Kanye West bit. Contrived, but funny. I'm glad (and RELIEVED) that Kanye doesn't always have to take himself so seriously. Also? No idea the man was so wee.

  • Jaime Pressley, really? Over Vanessa Williams and Jenna Fischer? Okay. Joy has the whole I'm-a-hot-chick-who-is-crass-and-funny thing going, sure, but Pam Beasley is witty, vulnerable, and nuanced. Plus I still resent Jaime for revealing a*shole tendencies in an early season of Punk'd.

  • Best supporting actor - comedy. Wow, what a crop. I would have been happy with anyone but Jon Cryer (sorry, Ducky). Piven deserved it, but so did Neil Patrick Harris (probably my first choice), Rainn, and even Kevin Dillon.

  • Speaking of Ducky, can someone get James Spader on a de-puffication diet? He is making me depressed.

  • Sally Field? I still like her. I really like her. And I loved her in strapless pink.

  • Sopranos acting-category shut-out surprised me, particularly w/r/t Edie Falco.

  • 30 Rock win! Yay! Love The Office a teeny bit more, but 30 Rock needs all the cred it can get to survive. Hopefully this means the Peacock will keep it on the air for at LEAST another two seasons (or 1-1/2 like Arrested Development got.)

  • Jersey Boyzzzzz.

In other news, caught the premiere of K-Ville last night. Hadn't planned on watching, but I did want to catch the scenes of NOLA. And I think it's admirable that they shoot on location almost exclusively and reportedly use locals for the vast majority of their crew. Unfortunately, they could use some better writers. The hook (cops! In a tough environment! One has a mysterious past! Plus gumbo!) isn't enough during this competitive TV season to keep people watching. And FOX is notorious for pulling the hook hella early.

In STILL other news, happy birthday to [info]girl_about_town! Welcome to the 30s, which are the new teens. Plan on sneaking cigarettes and TP'ing someone's house this weekend.

strangely enough, I like James Spader a WHOLE LOT right now...don't get me wrong, I prefered him in Stargate, but I like him whole bunches

Back to K-Ville, the opinions in the library are decidely mixed. An older black co-worker (she prefers black to A-A btw) really liked it and was stoked by the shout-outs to NO-East. Newish co-worker who grew up in the burbs but moved away 20 years ago hated it. And [info]dial_m thought it was pretty silly. Chris Rose, local columnist, liked it too.

I'll be watching tonight, unless I have to go to the new house and paint.

Thanks for the shout out! Wish you were here to celebrate with me!
