The Emmys: My thoughts on it

So last night I like many other people watched the Emmys. Here is a quick rundown on what I thought about it:

- Very Happy that Melissa McCarthy and Julie Bowen won top prize's for women in Comedy!

- I thought Jane Lynch did a good job as host but there were some bits that they should have stayed away from (The singing actors and the fact that Fox used the Glee font for all the words, We get it Glee is extremely popular but come on Fox!)

- More love for the Daily Show just shows how amazing that show is! (I think they said that the Daily Show has won one of the awards 8 years in a row or something like that)

- The bit that all the nominees for best actress in a comedy took the stage as if it were a beauty pageant. They alwase do a bit together and it is fun to see them change from year to year!

- I am SO MAD that Jim Parsons won for outstanding male and not Steve Carell! Yes I do like The Big Bang Theory but Carell KILLED it this year on The Office! Michale Scott is one of the best office bosses in television history and every year the voters of the Emmy's passed him up for someone else and now he can never get that recognition for his work as Michale Scott. Also I am not the only one that fells this way.

- The Office also has not been getting the recognition that it should be. I think that it is still one of the funnest shows on TV right now and I think a lot of the supporting cast deserved nominations like Rainn Wilson.

- While talking about people I think should have been nominated there are more on my list like Community, Joel Mchale, Bones, Joe Montana, and Nick Offerman just to name a few.

- I might be in the vast minority but I did not like the fact that they put Ryan Dunn in the in memorial section of the show. Sorry he killed someone when he died and how he died should not be glorified.

- No love at all for Too Big To Fail! I think William Hurt killed it in that move!!!!

- I loved the look that
Steve Levitan's wife gave him during his acceptance speech for Outstanding Writing. It was perfect and I loved that the camera panned to her at the right moment considering the episode he won for.

Well that is what I thought about the show last night. I am not much a drama person so I can't comment on that part of the show but I was happy The Good Wife won something!
