Emmys 2014

That was  a good show, it's rare that I would watch any awards show for 3 hours straight without surfing out but I did last night, Seth Meyers did as good a job as could be expected.  Glad to see that Breaking Bad can still collect the Emmys, also Modern Family and American Horror Story.

One of the funniest lines was when Steve Levitan was accepting his reward and told about taking his little daughter to work with him one day. They sat in the writer's room for 8 hours and no one could come up with a new script. When they got home his daughter says to his wife," I don't know how we have a roof over our heads !"

It's unusual that among the winners in the major categories I watch most of them.  Only The Good Wife, Veep, Mom,  and that AIDS movie on HBO were among the "never watched" category this year.

Al Yankovic's parody of the theme songs from various shows was hilarious, especially the one for Game of Thrones where George R.R. Martin in the audience was given an old typewriter to hurry up and finish more stories. And of course the "more boobs" line....

The internet eruption over Sophia Vergara being on the pedestal was predictable. If those brain dead critics had half her business acumen and had earned even 1/100th of what she does in a year and had 1/1000th of her looks then maybe they would be "qualified" to critique. But they don't and their jealousy is palpable......get a life !

And Sophia's comeback is commendable. Not all celebrities will stand up to the low lifes.

My favorite line was Bryan Cranston saying he had always been a guy who looked for the easy way. So much so his own family had nicknamed him "Sneaky Pete" . He took a pregnamt pause and then continued "My OWN family".
