It's ridiculous how idiosyncratic the Emmys are. Reward a first-timer for an awesome performance (Zeljko Ivanek!), and then hand third Emmys to Jeremy Piven, Laura Linney, and Jean Smart, and SIXTH CONSECUTIVE EMMYS to "The Daily Show" and the boring as all get out "The Amazing Race". It's hard out her for an Emmy fan who actually watches television, b/c these voters routinely don't, and are wholly satisfied with honoring their mediocre favorites year after year after year with few exceptions. <BR/><BR/>But not to be a total Debbie Downer, the wins for Bryan Cranston, Glenn Close, "Mad Men", "30 Rock", "The Colbert Report", and LA TINA FEY were awesomeness.Anonymousnoreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-81276969752996626822008-09-22T16:02:00.000-04:002008-09-22T16:02:00.000-04:00Please don't hate me....because I LOVE her, bu...Please don't hate me....because I LOVE her, but Mary Tyler Moore's days of sleeve-less gowns ended long ago.<BR/><BR/>Tyra should have been nominated & won for reality host.

Yes, she's gorgeous and awesome as a person, but she introduces the challenge, goes away, repeats her spiel, says "auf wiedershen," and that's it. At least with Bergeron and Seacrest, they're kind of operating these three-ring-circus live TV shows. I hate Ryan Seacrest, but I have to admit he does his job reasonably well. <BR/><BR/>As for MLP, you know I love her, but a) it's hard to compare Weeds and 30 Rock because while they're both comedies, they couldn't be father apart in terms of tone. There's a degree of apples/oranges to it. But while I thought Weeds Season 3 was kind of stuck in neutral for most of those episodes, 30 Rock Season 2 improved, and Tina Fey's comedic acting grew by a leap and a bound. So...yeah, Fey over MLP.Joe Reidhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06825174217179302019noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-8256060.post-50711747311960070892008-09-22T00:07:00.000-04:002008-09-22T00:07:00.000-04:00can someone explain to me what the hosts add to th...can someone explain to me what the hosts add to these shows though. I get it in the case of Heidi Klum... she's actually doing something more than introducing a challenge.<BR/><BR/>I'm not sure what the other hosts are contributing exactly other than to say their catchphrases or tell people they've lost?<BR/><BR/>I've seen AMAZING RACE quite a few times and in no way shape or form could i be convinced that it's a higher quality show than Project Runway or Top Chef (though it is better than AI which is just stale stale stale) and that's just two of its peers .<BR/><BR/>I don't get it.<BR/><BR/>and <B>Joe</B> you actually think that Tina Fey is a better lead actress on 30 Rock than Mary Louise Parker on Weeds? say it aint so.
