Sad Woody Harrelson |

It has been 25 years since Woody Harrelson has won an Emmy, so I am sure he was really looking forward to winning another one yesterday. Woody was nominated for Best Actor in a Drama along with his True Detective co-star and BFF, Matthew McConaughey, but both me lost out to Breaking Bad’s Bryan Cranston. I guess the loss was too much for the Oscar winner because he was seen with his head down and his hands over his eyes by the silhouette of the Emmy statue. A photo he emailed to his friends like the Farrelly Brothers. Maybe if he watched one of their movies like Dumb and Dumber or The Three Stooges, it would make him feel better.
At least he can try for the Emmy again next year for the second season of the HBO show. Oh wait, he’s not coming back to the show. Poor Woody Harrelson.
This is the second saddest picture from last night. The saddest one was any picture that Lena Dunham’s dress was seen in, but those photos are different kind sad.

Seth Meyers gave an Emmy worthy monologue at the Emmys! |

Seth Meyers opened the Emmy telecast with the best monologue I’ve seen in ages for the Awards show. I found it so weird that he seemed more comfortable on the huge stage performing in front of hundreds of people, then he does on his late night show. If he did that type of monologue on Late Night, I think I might check it out more often. Wouldn’t you?
When it comes to the rest of his hosting, there was some hits and misses. The audience interaction with Jon Hamm and Melissa McCarthy didn’t work and the Bill Eichner bit was funny but not needed. I liked the Weird Al Yankovic surprise, but it needed to be tightened up and include a few more shows.
Now when it comes to the winners, do the Emmy voters even watch the nominees especially the comedies. I don’t feel that Allison Janney and Julia Louis Dreyfus won for their current work, I think they won for their work from the ‘90s. I’m not saying they are bad actress, just saying the current roles are Emmy worthy. Plus, did Jim Parsons and Modern Family really deserve their wins after subpar seasons? We need to come up with a new way for the voters to vote and there needs to be limit on how many wins someone can have in one category for one show. Let somebody else bring home the Emmy. Am I right?
Another thing NATAS shouldn’t do again is have the Emmys so early. It hurt promoting the new shows. Except for Oscar winner Octavia Spencer and Emmy winner Katherine Heigl, none of the new shows were represented. In fact, I don’t remember any commercials for any of NBC’s new shows like A to Z, Constantine and State of Affairs. I thought that was the big part of the Emmys to promote the new season as we close out the old one.
When it comes to the presenters, why weren’t there any representatives from The CW and USA? Matt Bomer doesn’t count because he was there for HBO. I would like to have seen this season’s break out stars Jane the Virgin’s Gina Rodriguez, Scorpion’s Elyse Gabel, Constantine’s Matt Ryan, Manhattan Love Story’s Analeigh Tipton and/or Gotham’s Oswald Cobblepot up there along with Oscar winners Julia Roberts, who made it about herself, and Halle Berry.
And this goes for all awards shows, stop cutting off the winners when you have presenters like Jimmy Kimmel (who was funny) and Julia Roberts go long. Longer than that kiss that Bryan Cranston gave Julia Louis-Dreyfus. That was a nice moment.
Just wish there were more like them. What did you think of yesterday’s Emmys?

Kids do the Emmy nominated dramas better than the adults! |

If you are like me, then you have not seen any of the Emmy nominated dramas. So what are you going to do on Monday? Who will root for?
Mom.Me is helping people like us out. They had the cutest little kids reenact the 6 dramas and now I am prepared to say, I would only watch those shows if those little ones were staring in them instead on all the big people that are currently starring in those shows.
What about you?

46% of the people polled never saw any of Emmy’s Best Drama noms! |

If you are like me, then you hate the Emmy nominations because you don’t watch any of the shows. Well according to a survey done by YouGov, we are not alone. When asked which of the Emmy nominated dramas the surveyed watched, 46% said none of the above. So what did the other 54% say? 28% said they got a high from Breaking Bad, 24% went to a red wedding with Game of Thrones, 18% traveled to Downton Abbey, 13% smoked with Mad Men, 13% played with House of Cards and 11% spotted True Detective. Now even though 46% said they’ve never seen any of those dramas, 48% said that none of them deserved it. Since I am one of the 46%, I have to say I agree with the 48%.
Now when it comes to the comedies that is a little bit of a different story. Only 30% admitted to never watching any of the nominated sitcoms. When it comes to the other 44%, 52% geeked out over The Big Bang Theory, 34% saw Sofia Vergara’s curves on Modern Family, 17% found Orange is the New Black arresting, 8% laughed with Louie, 7% voted for Veep and just 6% computed with Silicon Valley. Now even though more people watched the comedies, just over a third (34%) of them didn’t think any of them deserved to win. I have seen the top 3, and I have to say I agree. I liked Orange, but it is not a comedy to me. But then again I think that The Goldbergs should bring home the gold statuette.
So now that you know that almost half of the US population hasn’t watched the drama noms and a third haven’t laughed with the comedies, do you think the Emmys need to be changing things up. I say hell to the yes! I get that the Emmys are not a popularity contest, but they are also not an unpopularity contest. There needs to be a happy medium because after all TV is supposed to be a happy medium.

A bunch of movie stars got Emmy noms |

The Emmys noms were announced today and they pretty much suck. Basically a bunch of movie stars who star in shows that no one watches dominated the list. And if they weren’t in movies, then they were people who have been nominated before. So in other words, Seth Meyers has his work cut out for him when he hosts TV’s biggest night.
I could go on a rant about how Anna Faris and Melissa McCarthy only got noms because they do movies, but I did that. I could also say that The Big Bang Theory and Modern Family had their worst seasons yet, and didn’t deserve to get as many noms as they did, but you are thinking the same thing. Maybe it’s me, but I still don’t think Orange is the New Black, Nurse Jackie and Girls are comedies. Basically, I am saying that The Goldbergs deserved noms over all the other “comedies” I listed in this paragraph.
When it comes to the drama noms, I don’t watch any of the shows and I know I am not alone.
I am happy that Sherlock, Fargo and American Horror Story received a lot of noms, but I am not happy that The Normal Heart got a bunch. I am sorry, but that movie was OK. And the Band Played On was a much much much much better movie.
When it comes to reality, where the f*ck was Gordon Ramsay? MasterChef Junior was one of the best reality shows on television this season. Much better than the other nominations.
So now you know how I feel, how do you feel about them?
