Highs:
1. Alec Baldwin's shout-out to Lorne Michaels. He's an absolute genius. When will someone give him a lifetime achievement award?
2. Neil Patrick Harris turning out to be a pretty good host. He's so natural. Loved when one of his jokes bombed.
3. Tina Fey wining and presenting. She's just so darn good.
4. Sara Silverman's mustache. They could barely announce the award. I think she knew she had no chance in hell of winning. But it would have been hysterical if she did.
5. The announcer (the guy who plays PC in the Mac commercials saying random things about the winners as they walked up to the stage). Hilarious!
6. The "Dr. Horrible's Sing-a-long Blog sketch." A little weird but funny.
7. Jimmy Fallon's "robot-voice" bit. So simple yet I was laughing hysterically.
8. 30 Rock winning Best Comedy Series. I wonder how many Emmys Seinfeld won?
Lows:
1. Kristen Wiig and Amy Poehler getting absolutely robbed. Seriously.
2. The whole best-seat winner bit. Equally unfunny every time.
3. Jon Cryer winning Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series. Jack McBrayer deserved to win.
Comments
You are not the only one sick of vampires , believe me !
Dude, lower the 30 Rock crush level a bit. It's funny, but will never be as good as Seinfeld. Academy Awards hardly equal quality, as you mentioned about ten times (but only when 30 Rock didn't win something, of course).
Her show was canceled, so she must not have been funny? What an ignorant statement.
Two and a half men are a totally guy thing, figures a stupid woman like you would say it is terrible.
Charlie sheen should have won!
Dude, trust me - Two and a Half Men is genius!!! I've laughed so much thanks to that show, and I'm a girl. Who cares if Charlie's a shmuck. So long as you never actually date a guy like that, then it's all good if you're laughing at how pathetic, yet witty he can be at times ^_^ The actor for "Alan" totally deserved to win, he's hilarious!
Drew Barrymore was robbed she was brilliant in Greys Garden....
ITS UNREAL,,,THAT TRASH COMMUNIST FAT BUTTED NNIT WIT ALEC BALDWIN WINNING ANYTHING - HE DOESNT HAVE THE BRAINS TO WIN IF HE WAS ALONE -- NO TALANT EXCEPT FOR SUPPORTING COMMUNISTS AND SOCIALSIST JUST LIKE TINA FAY -- BOTH DICUSTING ANTI AMERICANS
Kristin Chenoweth was HILARIOUS on Pushing Daisies. If you didn't see it, then how do you know she wasn't funny? Was it because of her "not being funny" that the show was cancelled? No, it was because it didn't draw in enough viewers. It was an amazing show and waaaay better than some of the crap that is out there now. Unfortunately, lots of American's like crap television so that is what stays on the air. She totally deserved it and is very underrated. Go Kristin!
A show like Pushing Daisies gets canceled and you say because it was canceled the supporting actress couldn't have been that funny so doesn't deserve an Emmy? You need to learn about cause and effect.
I'm a woman but I so LMAO at Two and a Half Men. You probably don't have a sense of humor. I didn't see Kristin Chenoweth in Pushing Daisies but your statement just makes no sense. You probably shouldn't have put down your reactions. They made you so lame.
"Her show was canceled, so she must not have been funny?"
Yeah, I stopped reading right here.
Has no one ever heard of sarcasm?
