Tonight is the night....

The Emmy Awards are on tonight.  And I, creature of habit that I am, will be watching, eating Chinese food and trying to tweet as many comments as possible.  I do have a tendency to not watch in real time because of the dreaded commercials but I will do my best.  I have a few wants tonight (like wanting either Kyle Chandler or Connie Britton from FNL to win) but I also am excited about seeing my favs from this past season on the red carpet.  I adore Jimmy Fallon and here is hoping that he makes the most of the show.  I am sure I will have some comments tomorrow.  Go all my shows!

NPH is having a good month...

First I had to congratulate him for the impending birth of twins, now this.  Neil Patrick Harris won two Emmy's at the Creative Arts Emmys Celebration the other night.  One was for the Tony awards and the other was for the guest appearance on Glee!  He is having a wonderful August and I do hope that it continues.  By the way, if you missed NPH on Glee, the performance of Dream On with Matthew Morrison and Mr. Harris is pure joy!  http://www.fox.com/watch/glee/87688503001

Emmy Nominations for FNL finally

Just a quick shout out to Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler of Friday Night Lights for finally (finally) getting Emmy nominations.  I am so excited for the two of them and so happy for the show.  Maybe all of the fan love helped a little. 

The Emmy's Tonight

I am wildly excited about watching NPH (for you uninformed that's Neil Patrick Harris) host the Emmy's tonight. I hope that he does not disappoint. I also hope that he finally wins a well-deserved statue. I almost boycotted this years show when my beloved Friday Night Lights was once again ignored. But once I found out NPH was hosting, I almost (read almost) forgave the Emmy people. So I am looking forward to tonight and I hope to comment on the show throughout (after I eat my Chinese takeout). I love my little traditions. So get ready everyone. Stars arrive at 6:00 (EST) on E.

In my euphoria over Neil Patrick Harris hosting the event, I never thought that once again my beloved Friday Night Lights would not get a mention. Do you see FNL on this list? Nor do I! What do you think of the nominations? Obviously this is a short list. I posted what I had (just enough to know that my show was screwed).
