Just Quickly: The Emmys 2010
I love awards season. I love it as much as it frustrates me, because there are just shows I haven’t managed to watch, and so when there are these ‘new’ shows winning awards (Breaking Bad and Mad Men, I’m looking at you) I’m shocked by them – frustrated that a) I have no informed opinion on whether they ‘deserve’ it or not. (As I write that out, I realise how conceited it sounds.. ew) and b) in regards to yesterday’s event – the big snub = Lost. The final season.
Can we talk about this? Lost has been arguably the most iconic show of recent years. Iconic because, it was the most intricately layered storyline.. ever? Kinda? For sure. Certainly not everyone understood it, but should it have been something to be ‘understood’? But it was still the show most discussed, most argued over, joked about show that you didn’t need to be watching – in order to be a part of a discussion. Yet, how even in its final season – did it still get snubbed for Emmy awards? We still have the Golden Globes. (And I’m not even what you’d class as a ‘Lostie’!)
As for the host Jimmy Fallon, I honestly wasn’t sure HOW entertaining he’d be, especially compared to crowd favourite Neil Patrick Harris – but he was the ultimate fanboy, representin’. That opening number with a few Gleeks, as well as Jorge Garcia, Jon Hamm, Tina Fey, Nina Dobrev and Betty White.. was SO joyful, and hilarious – especially with the surprise of Kate Gosselin making fun of herself? Very surprising!
Cue to the musical montage of ‘shows that are no longer with us’ with Jimmy Fallon paying tribute to 24, Law & Order and Lost.. by mimicking Elton John, Boyz II Men, and Green Day. Hysterical. I still have a bit of a cold, and giggle-fits soon turned into coughing fits just watching this particular segment!
Fashion wise, no real disasters, yet at the same time – no real standouts. I absolutely love Anna Paquin’s dress (with new husband and ASKARS) How much fun are they having?! Sigh. Completely jealous.
Aside from Jimmy Fallon’s fun-loving fanboy hosting, and the Lost snub – what were your favourite (or not so much) moments during the Emmys? What were your favourite celebrity looks?
