You Blog Like an Emmy

Just finished watching the live broadcast of the 59th Annual Emmys on Fox. CliffsNotes: Katherine Heigl was the prettiest, Sally Field was censored, and The Sopranos won. I was really hoping the producers would cut to black in the middle of David Chase's speech. Talk about sweet revenge. Click here for the full list of winners. Click below for the bits that caught my attention:
7:32 Still at the pre-show on E!— I
wasn't planning to comment on anything here, but
Seacrest just planted a seed about the possibility of
Britney attending tonight. Also, Seal and Heidi Klum
both wore Dior this evening, which I thought was kind
of cute.
8:30 Stewie and Brian Griffin from The Family Guy open it all up with a song and dance number. Clearly, this is Fox's way of reminding us we're on their turf this year.
8:07 Seacrest takes his standard stab at Simon a little too early, but I'm not totally embarrassed for him until he starts to "roast" the Desperate Housewives ladies. Teri Hatcher does a horrible job of hiding the "I can't believe I made out with you" expression on her face.
8:11 Ray Romano jokes around for a bit. He assures us that he "got" the Sopranos finale. Ray, darling, it's not that the rest of us didn't "get it"—we just wanted more.
8:13 Ari from Entourage wins 'Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series' and kisses it up to his dad for a second consecutive year.
8:16 Lost's Terry O'Quinn accepts his award for handsome old dude.
8:29 Hey, this is the first time I'm seeing the commercial for the new iPod Nano.
I'm tots drooling.
8:39 Katherine "It's Heigl" Heigl wins for best actress and tells us her mom said she had no chance at winning, her mother looks extremely horrified and doesn't know whether to laugh or cry. Katherine later dedicates her win to mommy.
8:50 Seacrest assures us that the show is all green this year. Whew.
8:51 A preggers Christina Aguilera duets with Tony Bennett. She looks adorable and he leads her around the stage with his hand. Cute. But for some reason, all I can think about is Britney. I, like, want to call her and see if she's OK.
8:58 A real knee-slapper about the blogger in the audience. Good one.
(I'm just mad because the kid has an iPhone)
9:39 The cast of Jersey Boys pays tribute to the Jersey boys of The Sopranos. This, in theory, was a great idea—especially for me, who loves showtunes, The Sopranos, and New Jersey. However, watching a clip of Adrianna getting whacked to the tune of Can't Take My Eyes Off You was, and will continue to be, extremely disturbing.
10:04 The guy from Heroes uses a sweet Macbook Pro to present the first ever "Interactive Television Award." Special appearance made by Tom from MySpace who, I might add, is about nine times cuter than his default pic. He should totally change that shiz.
10:05 Why is Al Gore at the Emmys? And why did he win one?
10:24 Seacrest comes out in a Henry VIII costume and it's so not even slightly funny. Brings out Wayne Brady (where has he been?) who introduces a cute little game involving Kanye West and the guy from The Office. I love how Kanye thinks he's getting all this revenge on MTV right now, as if they're going to retroactively award him a VMA because he's on network TV right now.
10:40 I think I just had a horrible ADD attack because Jon Stewart and Steve Colbert have been on stage for about three full minutes and I have no idea what they're saying. Colbert has a leaf blower. Steve Carell just jumped up on stage and they all group hugged. WTF?
10:41 House is super hot, he presents Sally Field with her award and she gets bleeped by Fox.
10:53 America Ferrera wins 'Best Lead Actress'! Loving that! She looks amazing and her speech was so cute. Congrats!
10:56 Tony Soprano loses. You know what? Good, because if you ask me he didn't finish his job in the last episode.
11:03 30 Rock wins 'Best Comedy'
11:08 "Outstanding Drama Series" goes to ?????????? (cut to black)
