Emmy Reactions (Mine)

Despite some bitter disappointments (I'll get to those in a second!) I have to say that Neil Patrick Harris did an outstanding job as host! He was literally made for that gig. In fact, if at all possible, I think he should win an Emmy Award next year for his night as host this year. The only real highlights of the entire night -- for me, at least -- were his opening number, and the "interruption" by Dr. Horrible. Here's a video of that awesome moment:



The "buffering" thing killed me. And just the fact that one of my geeky little interests got major play time on mainstream TV!? Cue fangirl moment.

However, I was very disappointed when NPH didn't take home the Emmy for best supporting actor in a comedy. He is PURE COMEDIC GOLD, people! I mean, yeah...that other guy was good as Ducky in Pretty in Pink. But come on! Rigged, I tell you. And of all the wonderful actors nominated for best actor in a drama series -- they gave it to the one person I could not give a flip about. I can't even remember his name now. I think I've repressed. I was REALLY hoping that it would go to Hugh Laurie. Especially since I've heard rumors that he is thinking of quitting House soon. Hopefully they are only rumors -- but I hear that walking with a limp on the show has left him with a hip problem of some sort.

Anyway...The House snubs were annoying to me. Especially since I am not a fan of Mad Men. I'm just so over that whole show. I might try to get into it again at some point. But meh. Whatever. At least tonight is the special 2-hour premeire of House's sixth season! Woot!
