[Specter313]

Who the hell designed the layout of the stage and all that? It looks horrible and totally informal and not at all fitting for an awards show.

 

[TNC9852002]

Uh, I always thought that the Emmys were usually in the middle when it comes to being formal....with the Oscars being at the top.

As for the stage...I sorta agree, but not 100%. I mean, they're trying to do something new and that's ok, but maybe they'll do something else with it.

-TNC

 

[Specter313]

Still, it looks like some cheap reality tv finale results show, which, again, isn't fitting at all.

Anyway, Stewie and Brian should be hosting over Seacrest any day.

 

[Abaddon]

yeah, it's like they borrowed the America's Funniest Home Videos set.

 

[Prison Mike]

Ray Romano was funny. I wanted Rainn Wilson to win, though.

 

[Hypestyle]

a flavor flav joke! neat..

Vanessa Williams gets my vote for best looking lady!

 

[Abaddon]

YES!! Terry O'Quinn won.

 

[TNC9852002]

WHOO! Go Terry!

-TNC

 

[Prison Mike]

Michael Imperioli should have won!

 

[Specter313]

Good for Terry. I hate his character, but he's very good at it.

Thank god it wasn't Shatner again.

 

[BMM]

Who the hell designed the layout of the stage and all that? It looks horrible and totally informal and not at all fitting for an awards show.

I'm glad I'm not the only one who's not a fan of this kind of layout.

 

[TNC9852002]

That Macy's commercial did not seem cheap.

-TNC

 

[ToddIsDead]

Seacrest is really irritating.

Also, I'm glad Jamie Pressely just won. She's great on Earl.

 

[Specter313]

Go Jamie! Woulda preferred Vanessa, but glad to see her get some love.

 

[Prison Mike]

So far, all the people I wanted to win have not. This sucks.

 

[Specter313]

Meh, I'd have rather had one of the other Grey's women win before Katherine.

 

[Abaddon]

Izzie was annoying as hell last season.

 

[tzarinna]

Katherine wasn't looking her best, at all.

 

[Specter313]

That was kinda a sucky way to thank her mom too.

 

[ToddIsDead]

Yay for Conan!

 

[Prison Mike]

YAY! Conan won! I'm happy about that.

 

[Abaddon]

How was it sucky?

 

[Specter313]

How was it sucky?

"Even my mom said I didn't have a chance in hell of winning tonight."

Yeah, not the best thing to say.

 

[Abaddon]

Missed that part. Well she was probably pissed off at her for saying that.
