It Was A Very Well-Rounded Emmy Show

September 17, 2007

Ryan Seacrest put his best hosting face forward at last night's Emmy Awards, but it was the round stage that really stole the show. The concept was cool, but it definitely made for some awkward moments, right? The Rainn Wilson/Kanye West version of Don't Forget The Lyrics was a highlight, along with Steve Carell "stealing" Ricky Gervais' Emmy. Dempsey = McDreamier than ever, yes? Christina/Tony also did a great job at a show that was obviously paying homage to Bennett in a lot of ways (icymi, check out the performance here). Hopefully the Jersey Boys tribute to The Sopranos made Tony Soprano Proud. Check out Buzz's take on the big show, but what did you think about it? Highlights? Lowlights? Did Seacrest make you laugh?

You know, maybe it is just me, but TV actors and actresses seem to take themselves a lot less seriously then 'movie stars'. This is what made the Emmys bearable this year. The group seems like a large family. Maybe that is what makes them such great actors, but at least they were less stiff looking than some of the other awards shows.

It's funny because when Ricky Gervais won, I had just told my bf "Too bad Steve Carell didn't win because I'd love to see the 3 of them up there together", and then Colbert and Stewart gave Gervais's award away to Carell. I thought that was fantastic. They are all adorable and I wish they had won more awards. I also liked the Kanye/Rainn Wilson skit, the Bush bloopers, and the Jersey Boys tribute to the Sopranos. Not all of my favorites won awards, but it was worth watching on my DVR because I just skipped over the boring parts and the commercials. I'm not a big fan of Seacrest, but I thought he did OK. I prefer Ellen or Conan though.

I didn't watch the Emmys. I like some awards shows, but I don't watch enough TV (not the kind they give these awards for, anyway) for the Emmys to be interesting to me.

The show was decent. It was ridiculous that Ryan Seacrest was hosting "And the award for most over-exposed and under-talented personality goes to...RYAN SEACREST!!". He was so out of his element. And what was with all the gay jokes? Trying to over-compensate for something Ryan?The ladies looked lovely, Kanye is a STUD, and I nominate the next Emmys to be all about Steve Carrel, Steven Colbert, and Jon Stewart. For sure the three funniest people the entire night. I was crying I was laughing so hard when Steve Carrel stole Ricky Gervais' award.

I really liked the moment with Jon Stewart, Stephen Colbert and Steve Carell. It was totally unexpected and really funny. I also liked Wayne Brady telling Kanye that he picked a bad time to learn proper English. LoL I thought it was really cute that Katherine Higel corrected the announcer on how to pronounce her last name and also stated that her mom thought she didn’t have a shot in hell.

The Roots part was cool, as was the Sopranos cast getting up. The Jersy Boys thing was ok, and I liked Rainn/Kanye but not as much as the COlbert/Stewart/Carrell part. All of them jumping up and down like little boys made me laugh out loud.

The Emmy's and the Oscars back in the day were so much better and had so much class. It actually meant something if you won one. The ones of today are thrown together and no one really takes them seriously. I didn't watch because now it's only a place where egos go to compete against other egos and who can out stage who. I'm not gonna waste me time, I've already wasted enough of it on here commenting about it. :)

i thought the tony/christina performance was a snoozefest. and yeah, ray romano was not funny, but i never think he is. i thought the highlight was steve running up to steal the emmy. very funny. and the rainn/kanye skit. the round stage seemed kind of strange. i don't think the actors were a big fan. i know i wouldn't want to be seated behind the action the whole night.

I agree catpoetess. The ROOTS segment was very touching especially when they each commented on how the power of television can make a difference. Beautiful moment.

I thought that whole skit of the actors from The Office talking about Steve Carrell's jealousy was HILARIOUS!!! And the little skit about "Our Favorite George Bush Moments" was off the wall!!! So funny!!!!
