In Memoriam time.

No one applauded for Heston. Interesting.

It is always surprising to recall those who passed from the industry. Too soon, all.

Goose bumps hit at Carlin.

Sigh. See you in a minute.

What’s w/the orchestral version of Coldplay’s Viva La Vida?!

This just might be the most random-slash-boring Emmy show ever.

Neil Patrick Harris and Chenoweth, good duo.

Individual Performance in Variety or Music Program:

Colbert, Fey, Letterman, Rickles, Stewart.

Piven – laugh, g damn it! Or smile, show some respect.

OMG, Rickles is hysterical. The bit about his wife? Awesome.

LOL, a Forrest Gump reference. So 94.

I’m just going to say it…not sure who I have a bigger crush on, Laura Linney and Tina Fey.

And I’m going to say this as well…WHY THE HELL IS HOWIE MANDEL A ‘REALITY’ TV SHOW HOST? It’s an f’ing game show.

Writing (same category): lazy. still yawning. no offense, writers.

Emmy: John Adams. No surprise.

Wow, they are plugging the hell out of the Reality: Competition category.

Wow, was The West Wing on that long ago? I miss it.  Then again, we’ve been pretending that Martin Sheen is our president for years now.

I wonder if he’ll make a political dig too.

Ok, he’s encouraging everyone to vote. Good. I am always appalled by how few do.

Awww…Christina Applegate. I want to give her a hug.

Does anyone else think of Heathers when they see and listen to Christian Slater?

Made For TV Movie: only saw Extras special and Recount. Sorry.

Emmy: Recount. It was…ok. It’s like watching a Michael Moore film; you’re left feeling extremely frustrated by seriously bullsh*t events and idiotic people in leadership positions…in this case the hanging chads in FL that denied Gore the presidency.

Sigh. I should have opened some champagne.

Wow, Laugh-In. WTF?

Lily Tomlin. Really? Surprised they got her to do this.

This bit is funny but shrill and kind of painful.

Outstanding Variety, Music or Comedy Series…

Colbert, Daily Show, Letterman, Bill Maher, SNL.

Emmy: Daily Show.

Oh my, Heidi. What on earth are you wearing? Did a leopard attack your bed?

And WHY on earth are you pimping out The Hills? It is scripted crap and I can’t believe that they’re promoting her sh*t on the Emmys.

Oh lord, Heidi. It’s not The Bones, it’s Bones. LOL.

ARE YOU KIDDING ME? Now the girl from The Hills gets to present? Oh HELL no.
