Last night’s Emmy Awards ceremony was mostly lackluster (thanks, Howie Mandel). Despite the 30 Rock sweep and Don Rickles riffing, there were only a small handful of enjoyable moments, the best by far being the stand-off between Ricky Gervais and Steve Carrell. Also, Josh Groban - in an attempt to be “funny” - sang a cheeky medley of TV theme songs, which was ultimately terrifying, as his dead eyes prove that he’s the most lifelike robot we’ve ever seen.
TV Buzz Sarah Silverman won two Emmys last night for her video valentine to Jimmy Kimmel. It’s a little sad/awkward now that they’ve split up, but an Emmy is an Emmy. Last year’s winner in the best music & lyrics category was SNL’s “Dick in a Box,” making the Emmys officially way more fun than the doom-and-gloom Oscars.
TV Buzz She’s the saucy red-haired bombshell from much-buzzed show Mad Men. The new season starts Sunday. The popularity of Mad Men is quickly making Christina into a star. Not to mention that she’s also an amazing actress, and her body is kind of insane. To put it politely, she’s “refreshingly voluptuous.”
Celebrity Buzz The 2008 Emmy Nominations have been announced. The list gives The Office and 30 Rock some serious thumbs up.
