First of all, I would like to thank my aunt Marina Ritger for winning her second EMMY award as a producer for The Amazing Race! I am so excited for her. I thought the show went great for the most part and it will be easier to bullet point my thoughts about last night’s show.
PROS:
· The set was visually stunning.
· Jane Lynch hosted the show. (what more is there to say)
· The tribute montage of all the actors, actresses, producers, writer etc. who have died in the past year was beautifully done and classy.
· Modern Family wins best comedy!
· Funny opening scene
· Great jokes by Jane throughout the show
· The funny intro to each category (comedy, drama, miniseries) with corny songs and facials sung by a group of five comedic actors from shows like Community and the Office, that made you chuckle before each category was announced.
· The Amazing Race winning best reality program for the 8th year!
· Modern Family’s creators charm and satire when accepting their awards. They had a lot of practice, going up their 5 times!
CONS:
· Charlie Sheen’s awkward and glib “congrats” to Two and a Half Men speech before announcing best actor
· Jim Parsons winning best actor over STEVE CARRELL?!? Everyone hoped Steve would finally get that Emmy for his hysterical portrayal as Michael Scott in The Office his last year one the show, but he was shut out again by the Academy Voters. Most disappointing moment of the night.
· Melissa Mccarthy winning best actress for Mike and Molly?! Really people, really? Over Amy Phoelor??
· The boring miniseries/ made for tv movie category was too long and boring. It should be moved to the Creative Arts Emmy Award Show. For those of you who don’t know what those are, it’s the show nobody watches with all the boring stuff like, makeup, lighting, wardrobe, which I find interesting but not a lot of people do. It comes on a week earlier and it’s still the Emmy Awards but more like a warm up to the actual telecast.
· Modern Family wins EVERY award it’s nominated for which makes for a pretty predictable Best Comedy Award that everyone awaits until the end.
· Glee didn’t win a single award.
· Community, which I feel is the best comedy this year, didn’t even get NOMINATED for an award. If you don’t believe me, Modern Family’s creator tweeted Community creator saying the Emmys got it wrong this year, shutting out Community completely.
Emmy Awards Rating for first hour: A
Emmy Awards Rating for second hour: B
Emmy Awards Rating for third hour: C+
**Note that the first hour was comedy categotry, second was drama, third was miniseries/movie and the overall best comdedy and drama awards were giving out at the very end.
