the best and worst emmy's

and i don't mean the best and the worst of the emmys. i mean this was the best emmy show i've ever watched and the worst. conan o'brien was an amazing host and the bits he did were the funniest i've seen on an awards show in a long time. i won't try to explain them because i'm sure i couldn't do them justice. but, if you saw it, you know what i mean. but, the winners! totally the worst choices i've seen in years and years. it's like the academy is totally out of touch with reality. i realize that it's just my opinion....i just think my opinion is correct. is tony shaloub really funnier than steve carrell? so much funnier that he has to win THREE YEARS IN A ROW?! um, no. kiefer sutherland? so his yelling into a cell phone is betting acting than denis leary? not to mention that you're saying he's better than the folks NOT nominated from 'the sopranos', 'deadwood', 'big love', and 'the wire'? yeah, i don't think so. and '24' beats all of the dramas?!! the only award i was happy about was when 'the office' won. still...

as usual, in the absence of excellent winners, the only thing left to talk about is fashion. so let's get right down to it.

the 'experts' tell me that purple was very in as well as lace and asymetrical straps. so that's what everyone was wearing. of course. how daring. let's start with the good...

THE GOOD

evangeline lilly from 'lost'. as indifferent as i am to her, she looked really good last night. of course, when you're beautiful and petite and athletic, i'm sure it's easy to look good...but it was a very nice dress.

lisa edelstein from 'house'. this is a shout-out to taryn because i know she loves that show. but i thought lisa looked very lovely. i like the simple dress and the detail at the waist is nice. good use of the trendy lace without having to look like a doily from head to toe.

jaime pressley from 'my name is earl'. truth is, i have a soft spot for this woman. maybe it's because she's so funny on the show and maybe it's because she's from white trash and is clearly loving being in hollywood, but i liked her in this dress.

kate walsh from 'grey's anatomy'. okay, i love her. i always think she is absolutely gorgeous on the show and while this dress isn't my taste, i think she rocks it.

and, finally, virginia madsen. madsen isn't young or tiny so i've gotta give it up to a voluptuous woman who looks so good. sure, it's all lace but i really think it's flattering and beautiful. and, sure, from the side angle i was worried her boob was going to pop out, but she pulled it off.

THE UGLY

for a supermodel, tyra banks sure is wearing an ugly dress. i HATE asymetrical straps and this one has an ugly hard bow on it. and the lines are the dress are bad. and i hate mermaid dresses because they accentuate huge thighs and asses. and her wig is frightening.

i'm not a fan of debra messing anyways, but this dress is seriously unflattering.

paula abdul. what a delight this woman is. she always looks terrible and i am constantly amazed at the things she chooses to wear. i think i had this dress back in 1991 when i went to her concert. it still doesn't look good.

jeremy piven is a tool.

i am not a fan of kim raver from '24'. and no matter how many people tell me yellow is in, i don't believe it.

white pillowcases make eva longoria look bad. and i don't mind.

but the WORST, had to be ellen pompeo from 'grey's anatomy'. everything about it is terrible. her weird slicked back hair, her crushed velvet in 100 degree heat...it's just terrible. the only good thing i can say is that she looked much healthier than the last red carpet she was on. i couldn't quite see her rib cage and collarbone so that was a plus.

WHEN BAD CLOTHES HAPPEN TO GOOD PEOPLE

sandra oh is pretty rad. i love her. but i just don't think i like this dress. maybe it's the ruffles or maybe it's all the crazy jewelry, but i'm disappointed.

don't put a waistband that low tina fey. just don't.

cheryl hines...you're funny and i like you but don't bedazzle your formal emmy dress.

elizabeth perkins has been rad for years. but i don't understand this dress. the color would have been good on her but the large lace pattern doesn't do her any favors. and i HATE the rope around her boobs. yuck.

the saddest tragedy of the night for me was jenna fischer. i adore her on 'the office'. and she did this promo piece for E! where they went shopping with her. she tried on all of these cute dresses and THIS is what she came up with?! terrible. the color washed her out and she looked pregnant and the bow top made her boobs look weird. sad.
upon another glance at the photo, all i have to say is that she and jim are adorable. how could i say something bad about her? i'm wrong.

SPLIT DECISIONS

portia de rossi...i still don't know.

kyra sedgwick is a cool woman and overall she looked good. but the big flower thing perplexes me.

oh, my katherine heigl. how i love you in 'grey's anatomy'. and you seem like a normal girl who would be fun. and you look better than you usually do. but a tad too much mystic tan and too much copying charlize. you can get your own style and look awesome!

BEST DRESSED IN HER 40s

definitely julia louis-dreyfus. i thought she looked pretty damn good!

BEST DRESSED IN HER 50s

jane kaczmarek is a mom in her 50s but this color looks really nice on her and she looks well put together.

BEST DRESSED IN HER 60s

give it up for helen mirren. an amazing actress who looks classy and dresses her age.

PREGNANT AND BEAUTIFUL

damn these women. how do heidi klum and gillian anderson do it?

WHO INVITED THESE PEOPLE?

why is tracy gold there and why does she look horrible? and who invited vanessa minillo and maria menounos?

HAIR COMMERCIALS

patrick dempsey clearly got best male hair while i was totally envious of heidi klum's 'do.

SPECIAL MENTION

and a huge shout out for a hot bitch who knows how to work it...joan collins. man, i miss the 80s.
