Emmy Madness
August 29th 2006 13:21
So…The Emmys. Just once I’d like to see someone win and at least one of the other nominees to look disappointed. Instead we get fabricated surprise, smiles that disguise gritted teeth and forced clapping and cheering. In fact, I’d pay to see someone with an expression of disgust and disbelief on their face, silently muttering to themselves about the injustice of the loss. That to me would make it worth the three or fours hours that the awards ceremony runs for every year.
To be honest I really only watch it to see what people are wearing. So I guess I could just watch the first hour that consists of the Red Carpet Arrivals and be done with it. In fact, one of my favourite moments this year was when one of the interviewers mispronounced “Versace”. Versace is like a household name. How can you get it wrong? Maybe I’m putting too much pressure on the professional people who are being paid tonnes of money to look beautiful and talk to famous people…But will they ever come up with better questions than, “Who are you wearing tonight?” and “So, are you excited about your nomination?” Sheez, I could answer both those questions and I’m sitting at home!
One of my other favourite aspects of the night was the fact that they kept claiming to have no time but went on to include random songs and dances and joke sequences that went nowhere and constantly failed to impress. That’s why I’m suggesting they run the Emmys next year like an episode of Grey’s Anatomy. Everything happens ‘stat!’ We get to see all the innuendos that happen in the linen closet, somebody punches Mc Dreamy in the face and all the awards get divided up among the audience like patients. Three different stages, all at once. The actors on one stage, semi important people on another stage and then the people that nobody really cares about whatsoever on the final stage. Sorry folks, but you know you only watch it to see the actors and their pretty outfits. Nobody really wants to see the production guy. Except maybe his wife and kids.
