Big Bang Theory was robbed

Welcome to the Modern Family Awards.... Oh wait sorry, Primetime Emmys. 

I have seen plenty of award shows and red carpet in my short 22 year old life. Tonight just felt like any other award show but with plenty of disappointing wins. So let the rant begin...
  • Jimmy Kimmel was just as disappointing as I thought he was. Monologue wasn't funny at all. Opening video was a yawn fest. Pass the popcorn and let's move on.
  • I hate the way they divide the awards into categories with comedy, reality, drama, mini series. The first  section is always comedy and begins the Modern Family portion of the program. I am determined that the Emmy committee is having an affair with the show. I am convinced that next year they will add a category of Best Child in a comedic role and every child in Modern Family will be nominated. 
  • HOW, how can Mayim Bialik, Jim Parsons, or anyone from Big Bang Theory not win. Anyone who can say those things with a straight face deserves a gold shinny award. I am NOT OK with this. 
  • I am here to tell you Amazing Race is so boring. I don't get what the excitement is all about. How did they win against The Voice or Top Chef. I don't get it. Someone explain it to me because I am baffled by it. 
  • Tom Bergeron wins for Reality Show Host...FINALLY!!! How do you like that Honey Boo Boo Child?!?!
  • Drama bores me #truth
  • Still don't get how Smash wasn't nominated
  • Variety and Reality should just be combined. Unless we get to see a Neil Patrick Harris musical number Live, I don't really care to hear speeches from Jon Stewart or any of those people. All the guys have already changed the channels to check the score of the NFL game. They don't care to watch Jon Stewart make a fool of himself. 
  • Mini series and short film needs to be the first thing presented. Can you say snooze fest? 
  • Homeland won Best Drama and I become offended I don't get to see Jon Hamm on stage. Obama Endorsed and I approved that message. 
  • Big Bang Theory was robbed. Just saying. 
I leave you with the best moment on TV and what gave me an instant heart attack. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=3cptGH4rdCg

Primetime Emmy Awards

I got to admit when I first thought about the Emmy awards coming on tonight I really wasn’t that excited about it. Why? Because I had this odd feeling it is going to be all of last year’s winners with no surprises. But I am very glad to say that it wasn’t as predictable as I thought, once we got past the Modern Family awards.

The fashion was understated for me. Everyone was very plain and had nothing to get me excited about. I should have loved that the color of the night was red but the fact that everyone’s red dress was on the verge of boredom, I wasn’t that impressed. Emily Blunt was one of my favorites and she wasn’t even nominated. When you really started to look at everyone else you had a wide variety of people to put on your worst dressed list. Julianna Margulies, Julie Bowen, and Taraji P. Henson were on the top of my list. After fully examining the Red Carpet…
· Best Dressed: Heidi Klum(something different), and Cobie Smulders (best color)
· Worst Dressed: Julianna Margulies (I hated her hair and the paperweights on her dress)

Then the awards began. I thought that Jane’s opening number was really missing the mark. I honestly didn’t understand it because it was so all over the place. Then they announce the first presenters and start handing out the awards. Now, I get how there are the Gleeks and the Modern Family Addicts. I understand. I used to love both shows. But when Sofia Vergara took her accent over the top, I stopped watching. It used to be enjoyable but there are only so many times you can say you are from Columbia. Julie Bowen was the first to get an award. Holy cow was she skinny! The way she was styled, from her hair to the actual dress didn’t help any because all it did was make me notice it even more. Hey Julie, drink a milkshake before you put on a dress where I can see your ribs. The first 4 awards of the night went to someone in Modern Family. I understand the Emmy people like Modern Family, I get it but to make the first 4 awards to be given out to go to one show is ridiculous.

The best part of the show was when they started to announce the nominees for Actress in a comedy series. I don’t know about you but whoever came up with that idea to treat it like a pageant was genius. It was nothing short of brilliant. And then to top it off Melissa McCarthy won and gave the speech of the night. Take that Marie Claire.

I have heard a lot of In memoriam’s due to my obsession of award shows. The best version of Hallelujah i have ever heard was preformed tonight by Canadian Tenors. I was speechless during the entire song. Stunning. Go listen to their album immediately you will not be disappointed.

A lot of shows that I thought should have won didn’t. Top Chef and Jimmy Fallon were robbed. But I was very excited to see Friday Night Lights get some love. To be honest, they should have won Drama series too. Mad Men is a great show but when Friday Night Lights gets a lot of action in the acting category and doesn’t win for show it doesn't make a lot of sense. And I didn’t even have to watch the last 10 minutes of the show to know who won comedy series because I figured that out when they announced the first 4 awards of the night.

Grade for 63rd Primetime Emmy Awards: C+
