Once the NFL season starts it is difficult for many to follow anything else. With the airing of the 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards tonight, we are reminded that there is plenty else on TV these days.
The Philadelphia Eagles vs. Atlanta Falcons game is big news in the Michael Vick household, but you still want to know if Glee and Game of Thrones get the recognition, and awards, they deserve?
A couple matters of interest, the Emmys are being hosted by Glee‘s own Jane Lynch, and in the game we like the Atlanta Falcons +3.
Stay tuned:
The Emmy Awards website features a prominent photo of the Jersery Shore cast. Leads us to believe everyone’s favorite roll models won an award, or are going to be on the broadcast. Both are signs of the Apocalypse.
Emmy Awards Red Carpet ceremony:
James Woods has lost his mind. Matt LeBlanc has aged 30 years since Friends.
Laurence Fishburne’s wife, Gina Torres, is taller than he is.
The Emmys are opening with a musical montage. The Eagles v Falcons game is opening with a Michael Vick interview. Wholly anticipated, both.
Watching these two programs via picture-in-picture, there is no where I can put the small Emmy screen that does not block important parts of the NFL action. In reverse, there is no where I can put the small NFL screen to block enough of Jane Lynch’s dress.
Hold on. Julie Boewn’s dress is worse than Jane’s. Much worse. She just won Supporting Actress in a Comedy series for Modern Family, and has come to the stage in a wrestler’s singlet.
John Cryer is nominated for something for Two and a Half Men. With all the Charlie Sheen business it was easy to forget that show was actually on this year. And look, Charlie Sheen appears to be backstage. I am sure parading this self-guided idiot missile in front of his peers, and the world is going to do wonders for his recovery.
Samuel L. Jackson is on the field in Atlanta. He must not have won any Emmys. Guess he’s not on Modern Family.
Charlie Sheen has just given his blessing to the people of Two and a Half Men, then gave the award for Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy series to Jim Parsons from the Big Bang Theory. Don’t know which is more unbelievable.
The Falcons have just scored, yet thus far, the Emmy broadcast is a lot more interesting. The NFL should have booked Sheen.
Is that Michael Bolton? John Cryer and Ashton Kutcher are giving away the award for Outstanding Writing in a Drama series. This is as hard to understand as Michael Vick’s post dog fighting popularity. Speaking of, Vick fumbled the ball into the hands of Falcon lineman, Ray Edwards, who is not as fast as DeSean Jackson.
Halftime of the game; Eagles 10, Falcons 14. Half way through the Emmy broadcast and there has yet to be a single Lady Gaga number. Thought they would find room for that.
The Emmys are running a tasteful and moving “In Memoriam,” which includes Elizabeth Taylor, Peter Falk and Leslie Nielsen. Meanwhile, Falcon’s TE, Tony Gonzales, appears to have found new life in 2011, with his second touchdown of the night.
