Thoughts from a Sunday Evening Viewer

- I wasn't planning on watching the Emmy's tonight, in fact I by mistake found them while channel surfing. It strikes me as watching a kind of high school spectacle, where the same five popular people get mentioned, fawned over, and win awards. It's very self-congratulatory and incredibly insular community. It's a bit boring, to have to see the same acceptance speeches mention "truth to power" and "community organizers." It seems that people really do think that making a speech at an obnoxious event like the Emmy's about their political beliefs is some kind of achievement. This is one of the many reasons why these award shows are so unbearable to watch.

- Jessica Simpson looks really odd in the Macy's commercial, the one with the speed dater make-over, when she winks.

- I'm impressed Josh Groban's medley. That was not facetious. I specifically liked the South Park re-interpretation.

- Kathy Griffins hair was horrible, seriously what was she thinking? It looked like an orange hurricane hit her. Also Jennifer Love Hewitt hair was horrible. Some hairstylist are getting fired tonight.

-Christina Applegate's dressed made her look like she still has breasts. Reconstructive surgery? (I know it's wrong, but I was thinking it.)

-I liked Sandra Oh's dress.

-Cynthia Nixon looks like a chicken, her dress color (light blue) totally washes her out.

- Mad Men actually wins an Emmy! Yay, whatever makes AMC keep the show, the awards are totally meaningless at this point.

- That Dove commercial is a total subliminal ad that makes you think of orgasms when you eat a piece of chocolate. I went looking for it on youtube, but couldn't find it. Instead I found this endearing one.

I love all the different outfits she wears in the commercial.

- Hey it's Betty White! It's amazing to see her next to Mary Tyler Moore...she actually looks her age, unlike Moore.

- How does The Office not win? Seriously? How?

-It's hard not to like Tina Fey. She plays humble, but not in the annoying SJP way. She's funny and gets to the point!

- I love Mad Men's music score! Betty is cute on screen, not so much off screen. January Jones needs to consult a stylist stat!
