Jimmy Kimmel starts the hour by kicking he parents out after they told him he'd win an Emmy this year. Or something like that, I was putting up laundry when they came back from commercial. Now, movies & miniseries, and drama series would thought they'd face less competition in these categories.
Supporting actress in a movie/miniseries goes to Jessica Lange in no shock at all. But what she did to her face is the real American Horror Story. Don't look directly in her eyes.
Now Ellen is on with the president or chairman or something. See actresses, Ellen proves you can look great and aged without surgery. Kerry Washington is really tiny, WOW. Eat a sandwich please. Tom Berenger won for Supporting actor in a movie. To me, he'll always be Jake Taylor, a catcher in his last year playing for the Cleveland Indians. Wow, he was rambling in his speech. But in a boring way, not a train wreck drunk funny way.
After the Breaking Bad parody, that clip of the Andy Griffith show opening was jarring. But it was Ron Howard introducing those in TV who died (aka Death Parade) and starting with Andy Griffith. Usually, this is a contest to see which celeb gets the most applause. This year it seems they cut the mic in the auditorium so you couldn't hear. That's actually classy. Usually, the names in the list fall into several categories: Famous, didn't know they had died, didn't know they were still alive, who are they.
Julianne Moore won for playing Sarah Palin in Game Change. I still have it on my DVR. I need to watch it. I had strong feelings about Sarah Palin as a candidate so I'm interested to see about the behind the scenes stuff. Glad Julianne Moore finally won a big award besides the Daytime Emmy for As the World Turns.
Susanna Hoffs' husband, and the director of the increasingly awful Austin Powers movies, won an Emmy for directing Game Change. Kevin Coster just won an Emmy for Hatfields & McCoys. He looks like a drunk uncle hitting on bridesmaids at a wedding reception.
Game Change wins best movie/miniseries. I can't wait to finally watch this on my DVR.
On to the series winners:
Drama series goes to: Homeland. BOOO!!! I didn't think it was best show worthy. I had big problems with the show. I laughed out loud at times.
Comedy series: And Modern Family wins AGAIN! It's a good show, but come on, where's the Big Bang Theory love? Nerds are disrespected.
OK, so that's the Emmys. I hope you enjoyed it. Eh, just ok for me.

Emmy Awards Hour #2
This starts the drama section of the Emmys. I do not want to see Downton Abbey sweep. I am sick of us outsourcing acting winners to overseas performers. Thankfully, the first one goes to Aaron Paul for Breaking Bad. He reminds me of Ryan Gosling for some reason.
Best shot of the Emmys night: Kathy Bates fanning herself with her lace fan shaking her head at the hijinks. LOVE IT! Now Connie Britton looking rougher than she did on Friday Night Lights or American Horror Story. Homeland won for the Pilot which was good. I had issues with the show as a whole, but the pilot was intriguing. Predictably Maggie Smith won for drama supporting actress for Downton Abbey. I was rooting for Christina Hendricks to win for Mad Men. Mad Men has never won an acting Emmy and I'm afraid Christina's chest will eventually consume her.
I was so happy Martha Plimpton won an Emmy for The Good Wife. She should have won last year for her episode of Raising Hope. But she's great on The Good Wife too. She presented with Jeremy Davies. He needs a haircut and flea dip. I think he asked me for money once at a gas station. I liked the parody of In Memoriam moments at awards shows with Josh Groban mourning Jimmy while singing One Direction.
Damian Lewis does just fine on Homeland, but why hasn't Jon Hamm won an Emmy for playing Don Draper? It's a dang shame. I'm rooting for Elisabeth Moss to win. She grew on me on Mad Men. But she won't win. Claire Danes is fine on Homeland but submitted the wrong episode so she should lose. As long as it's not a Brit. And she won. Oh well.
Now for Variety/Comedy series. Daily Show has won this 12zillion times in a row. Will he make it 12zillion and 1? Bill Maher has been nominated 12zillion times and never won anything. 12zillion and 1 now? Yes, and yes. Really Emmys, sing a different song. Kathy Bates is still not amused.
That's hour 2! Now on to Hour 3! Movies! Miniseries! Series wins!

Emmy Awards Hour #1
The Emmys opened with a sketch featuring female comedy nominees/winner/Connie Britton (drama for the much missed Friday Night Lights and American Horror Story) trying to buck up Jimmy Kimmel into hosting. Plus, they punched his face out of Botox. It was ok. Good shot of Lena Dunham shirtless eating cake. Very "Girls" (her show on HBO. It's good, not great to me, but good). Then he did his monologue, which was fine. Nothing memorable though.
On to the awards: Modern Family wins best supporting actor & actress in a comedy for Eric Stonestreet and Julie Bowen. I'm proud of Julie Bowen. Pretty skinny blonde women have such a rough time of it in Hollywood where the ugly and fat have free reign. Writing for a comedy series went to Louis CK for Louie. I need watch that show. Although Louis CK does look like the first guy who is always arrested on any of the Law & Orders. I do enjoy that they are giving the writing & directing nominees little skits instead of regular nomination roll calls. But the best skit so far: Breaking Bad redone as the opening to The Andy Griffith Show. That was AWESOME!
Modern Family skit about the girl playing Lily being a terror was ok, a little too wrong at times though. Lead actor starts with Melissa McCarthy lusting over all the nominees. She's so awesome. She still will always be Sookie from Gilmore Girls to me. And Jon Cryer wins for Two & a Half Men. I still can't watch that show, even moreso now with Ashton Kutcher on it. Cryer just seemed outclassed by the rest of the nominees in the category.
For lead actress in a comedy series, Colbert is presenting. He's awesome! "70% of women are great. Just like this category, 5 of the women are great. The other 2..." haha. Rooting for Amy or Zooey and the winner is Julia Louis Dreyfus for Veep. I've watched a few episodes, it's not bad. I love how Amy Poehler always has something funny planned for nominees win or lose.
Now Reality Shows. Eh. I keep up with the first few weeks of some then give up and move on and live a life. Oh look, Amazing Race wins again. Really? Emmys, find a new song to sing. I want Big Brother to win this next year thanks to Dan. But at least Tom Bergeron won. I don't watch DWTS, but the times I have watched it. He has made it palatable. Congrats Tom, plus he seems like a super nice guy!

The Tony Awards
I wasn't going to blog about the Tonys because most people I know don't watch them. I guess it's because not everyone can go up to NYC and see a bunch of shows and care. It's easier to plunk down $10 to see another movie. And a lot of folks aren't fans of characters singing and dancing for no reason at all, unless they are cartoons. But, it's usually one of the more entertaining and better produced shows, so why not.
The first number is the cast of The Book of Mormon doing their opening number "Hello" and starts with the cast ringing on the dressing rooms of celebs like Ricky Martin, Judith Light (from Who's the Boss!!), and James Earl Jones (yes, Darth Vader is a Broadway guy). I'm afraid what a musical about Southern Baptists would be like? (The Cookbook of Fried Chicken & Pie?). Neil Patrick Harris is the host again and his opening joke was funny. It's good that he loves theater and enjoys hosting and being on Broadway. His opening number is "What Is Life Were Just Like Theater". That is something to think about. I don't think my arthritis could allow me to dance like that. I'd ache. Very fun opening number. PLUS, they just cut to a shot of Emma Stone in the audience. AWESOME! Judith Light, aka Angela from Who's the Boss just won a Tony. Cool! And you thought Tony Danza was the acting talent carrying that show, wrong! Now here's the youngest Jonas, sounding sort of odd I must say, introducing the performance from Newsies. Yup, that forgotten musical with Christian Bale is now a stage musical. And WOW can they dance. I think I pulled a hamstring watching them. I'm guessing in context, the kid with a crutch makes sense.
Amanda Seyfried is here looking creepy and because she was in Mamma Mia and will be in Les Miserables. How long until they do a musical of Mean Girls? Don't steal my idea dang it! Now best revival of a musical nominee, Follies. It's very showy, but out of context it's a bit over the top. Surely this wasn't the best representation of the show. Going into work mode, it's always interesting to see which advertisers are featured in big events.
Back to the show, a performance from Ghost: The Musical. Yep, another movie turned into a musical. And they wisely kept Unchained Melody. The ghost is bathed in blue light, he kinda looks like a smurf or Violet from Willy Wonka. The allegedly evil guy had a sunken cheek. Is he a vampire or malnourished? It was a short and slightly confusing performance. What other movies would make good musicals? I'll get back with ya. Diane Sawyer's husband wins from directing Death of a Salesman with Philip Seymour Hoffman and the new Spider-Man. Now a performance of Jesus Christ Superstar. The guy singing Judas in this sounds the best of anyone so far tonight. The video screens are odd though. He's as charismatic as any TV preacher, but his backup dancers seem oddly static. SPIDER-MAN COMMERCIAL!!
Angela Lansbury came onstage telling about theater. She's almost 90 and still going. She's the Betty White of Broadway. Now the guy from Smash just beat the new Spider-Man for a Tony. Now the annoying teacher from Glee introduces the Gershwin revue (which means a musical featuring previous songs) Nice Work If You Can Get It. It has Matthew Broderick in it. They just did a montage of the year in plays. It was pretty good. Tough presenting clips from plays out of context.
Sheryl Crow is presenting the award for best score. Why her? Well, she just wrote a score for a new musical, Diner, based on the 80s classic. Cool huh? Now, a performance from the groundbreaking Porgy and Bess. Audra McDonald singing Summertime is sheer brilliance. Now, a performance of Once. I want to see this. I still haven't seen the movie, but the music from it is awesome, including the brilliant Oscar winning Falling Slowly. Now, Evita, featuring Ricky Martin. Most only know this from the Madonna movie. This is the first Broadway production to actually have an Argentine Evita. They were smart to showcase Ricky in this. He is the name. Surprised they didn't go with the best known song "Don't Cry For Me Argentina". Evita however looks like a blonde version of the Frau lady from Austin Powers. But c'mon, it's Evita, have Evita sing something. Although with Patti LuPone in the audience, that would have to be intimidating.
Now Corbin Bleu, who was in High School Musical, now looks to be in a high school production of Godspell. This is one where they go down the aisles and seem to want to get the audience involved. Most of the time, I really don't like that. I paid good money, YOU SING, I don't need to see some strangers sing. Now, a performance of Hairspray. This is an old show, why are they showing it? Well, money. It is being performed on Royal Caribbean cruise line. RC has been advertising throughout the show. It's all about money kids. Sales people will use whatever creative methods they can to get a client to sponsor and give your station money. Trust me, I know this. I deal with media sales every day. Thankfully, it wasn't too obvious and cheesy. Now the final nominated musical, Leap of Faith. This is the ONLY nomination for this musical. It has already closed or scheduled to close. It's the little seen musical based on the little seen Steve Martin movie from 1992 about a sham preacher. Yeah, I didn't think you'd remember it either.
All in all not a bad show. It's good to see what shows will be headed our way over the next few years. Hope you enjoyed it. Check out the performances on YouTube. I'm sure most of them will be there.

MTV Movie Awards Blog #2
Russell Brand is unfunny again, now Kristen Stewart & Chris Hemsworth from Snow White are presenting Best Female Performance. Kristen Stewart always comes across as the most miserable person on the face of the earth. Why are you so unhappy, girl? Do you think Twilight sucks too? Jennifer Lawrence won for Hunger Games, and she was awesome in Hunger Games. And now, Charlie Sheen. He has always looked skeezy and nasty and like he was doing something he shouldn't. He is cementing the movie "Project X" (not the lab chimp movie from the 80s with Matthew Broderick and Helen Hunt) as an "Instant Cult Movie" or some such nonsense. Now Wiz Khalifa is performing. I admit, I had to look up how to spell his name because I'm mad white. Are they throwing toilet paper across the stage? Is this taking place at Toomer's Corner?
Now Adam Sandler Andy Samberg and some chick introduce best kiss. Adam Sandler seems like an embarrassing drunk uncle these days. Andy Samberg should just be embarrassed. And the winner is Twilight. Next.
Teen Moms, Snooki & JWoww? This is what my MTV has come to? Why? Now Joe Perry & Steven Tyler come out as a living PSA against tanning and drugs. No? They aren't? Oh, they are here to present the Generation Award to Johnny Depp. I have to say though, except for Edward Scissorhands, I'm not a Johnny Depp fan. I don't get him. Plus, he looks greasy. And he's sitting in with the Black Keys? Why do all actors think they are rock stars? I don't get it. Johnny Depp is gutsy apparently. Who knew playing the same role in every Tim Burton movie was gutsy? Sorry, just not a fan.
This show is dragging like a slow work day. The Joel McHale sketch wasn't too bad, mainly because it didn't have Russell Brand. Now fake sexism from Fassbender and then Charlize kicking his butt. This award is for Best Fight. The winner is NOT TWILIGHT but Hunger Games. Thankfully I like Hunger Games. Wow, Josh Hutcherson is tiny, or else those on stage are behemoths.
Wait, Jessica Biel is in the new Total Recall movie? They still let her act? Just put a picture of her in the corner for those who want to see her. Best cast should go to Bridesmaids or The Help but it actually goes to Harry Potter. I guess I can handle that. Harry Potter won for Best Hero. I guess saving the wizarding world is a good reason.
Dear MTV, these teen moms obviously have had trouble making good decisions in life. I don't think putting them on TV and having them in celeb magazines is going to help them in that regard. Cancel that show please. K, Thanks.
Matthew McHoweverYouSpellHisName and Channing Tatum are actually funny together present best on-screen transformation. Channing Tatum is a funny guy. The winner is Elizabeth Banks from The Hunger Games. MTV should be happy that Elizabeth is filthy minded haha.
Now Emma Stone receives the inaugural Trailblazer award from some actress I've never heard of. I'm happy though because I think she's awesome. This film of what stars think of her is hilarious! Also, MTV, it's not First Annual. It can't be First Annual. It can be First, or Inaugural, but it can't be annual until it's happened more than once. Turns out the actress I didn't know was in Superbad. She played Michael Cera's love interest. Wow, she really didn't break out at all did she? Bless her heart.
Ooh, Dark Knight clip time. YES!!
Jodie Foster, why are you there? You deserve so much better. But I have to say, you look great. Twilight won, how ridiculous. I sat through this show to have that wretched waste of celluloid win it? Kids who voted for this, please have someone take you to see good movies or have people tell you good movies to rent on Netflix.
OK kids, that's it. I lost at least 25 IQ points, if not more.

MTV Movie Awards Blog #1
Well kids, it's time for another awards show, this time it's the MTV Movie Awards. They are starting off with fun. singing there pervasive hit "We Are Young". This is gonna be a hot mess show, I can already tell. How, you may ask? Well, #1 I saw Vanilla Ice in the audience. #2 The guys from fun. are wearing white tux jackets, trimmed in black, and what can best be described as Mary Tyler Moore's capri pants from The Dick Van Dyke Show. They would have been better off switching tuxes with Janelle Monae. #3, Russell Brand is hosting. I'm already predicting he'll be awful. An easy prediction, he'll look like he needs a flea dip.
Here he is, flea dip prediction is true. Really, Mayan 2012 jokes are still being made? Sheen is there? Really? Ugh. Plus, he has to remind me he's in the Rock of Ages movie, which looks looks awful and I loved the stage production. I'm not sure what's more annoying and painful, Russell Brand or my psoriatic arthritis. Tough call. Now Mila Kunis and a high school history teacher, wait that's Mark Wahlberg, come out to present the award for On Screen Dirtbag and have to do a horrible intro about famous good people who are actually dirtbags. They were embarrassed, I was embarrassed for them and for the fact that Jennifer Aniston now has an MTV Movie Award. Bryce Dallas Howard was ROBBED! If you keep encouraging her, she'll never go back to TV where she belongs.
Thank goodness, EMMA STONE! And the latest British actor to come to the US to play an American superhero. Truly, this is an immigration problem. Lou Dobbs needs to be consulted. Emma is still awesome, even when cussing on here. She's got great comic timing. The winner for breakthrough performance is Shailene Woodley from The Descendants. She was really good in that movie, even if she started on that ABC Family show where she played a pregnant teen, and even if she did give a bit of a pretentious speech, bless her. Wait, time for another commercial already? Ugh, I hate dealing with commercials. Wait, I make my living from commercials. Nevermind, commercials are AWESOME!
Now, the 3 leads from a movie I am very much looking forward to, Perks of Being a Wallflower (truly a wonderful book, trailer looked great). Best male performance goes to NOT TWILIGHT!! and instead to Josh Hutcherson (although I would have put him #5 in that category). Really though, one award then a commercial? The producers really need to plan better.
OK, that'll do for section 1. On to section 2!!

ACM Awards - Hour 3
We are starting hour #3 off with Kenny Chesney and Tim McGraw. Kenny looks tinier every time I see him. Is he manorexic? Also, be proud of being bald, our hats look dumb. Is it in their contracts that all performers tonight have to wear pants tight enough to cause blood flow problems? Taylor, don't dance in your seat, there are cameras around, bless her heart. Eh, ok song. Now, another bane of my existence, Ashton Kutcher. Ashton, no, please don't. YOU DON'T SING GEORGE STRAIT! Someone go up and punch him right now. Miranda wins female vocalist. That's good, she sings better than Taylor.
Here's Blake introducing his wife Miranda. Good song, but I don't think the dress goes with the song for some reason. I think it grew moss or something. Oh look, it's Miley's boyfriend at the ACM's introducing Zac Brown Band with Brad Paisley. This oughta be good! Brad in the Zac Brown hat is GREAT haha. He's one heck of a guitar player. Bono is on tape from Ireland introducing Dierks Bentley. I like how all the people doing introductions say "My friend so&so." Are they all friends? Are all celebrities friends? Anyway, Dierks is a very underrated singer/songwriter. This is a great patriotic song that goes beyond party lines. Good.
Oh, a wedding at the ACMs. I'm sure there is some sort of sadness. Yes, two widowed people. You will either cry or gag on the sickeningly sweet nature of it all haha. The guy from Train is now singing with Martina McBride. Why are they getting married WHILE they are singing? That's odd. I'm just glad Train guy isn't singing Hey Soul Sister. Why can't they just have Martina sing a Martina song? Now Thompson Square, duo of the year winners, nope, not Sugarland. I still say they should combine duo & group. Nice subtle product placement by Dodge in the recap of the country experience this past week.
Now Luke Bryan is performing with some green lasers that look like they were stolen from the brilliant 1985 movie Real Genius with Val Kilmer. When did country stars switch from cowboy hats to caps? Why is this guy prancing and jumping like Shania Twain? Finally, if you want the audience to sing along, be sure they are singing loud enough to be heard. It's an ok performance, nothing wrong with it. Here's Taylor to present the male vocalist award. I wish she was singer her Hunger Games song. That's a good song. Blake Shelton wins Male Vocalist so he and his wife sweep again.
Now, it's the end of the show. Entertainer of the Year is being presented by Lionel Richie. Not a country star, but has a new CD called Tuskegee (where he's from) where he sings with country stars. Plus, he recorded Deep River Woman with Alabama years ago, so he's no stranger to country. The winner is Taylor Swift. I'm giving my surprised face. Who are all those people who came up to her? It looked like she just joined a Baptist church. Now, a performance with Lionel Richie and Blake Shelton. I hope it's better than Dancing on the Ceiling which Lionel did with Rascal Flatts at the CMAs. You Are! I love this song.
Overall, not a bad show. I think it was better than the CMAs, mainly because it was on CBS :) Hope you enjoyed the blogs. I watched so you didn't have to. Good night everyone. Now I have to wait til midnight to watch Mad Men. The sacrifices I make for y'all!
Here's Blake introducing his wife Miranda. Good song, but I don't think the dress goes with the song for some reason. I think it grew moss or something.
