Jimmy Fallon hosting the Emmys 2010, courtesy of LATimes.com
I have been a fan of Jimmy Fallon since he was on Saturday Night Live doing skits like Jarret’s room. During the entire Conan versus Jay debacle, he kept his mouth shut, and now he has been rewarded. He hosted the 2010 Emmys, and he was awesome. The skits were hysterical, he can do a mean Green Day imitation, and I love how he asked people to tweet introductions for some of the presenters. Nice. Three cheers for Jimmy!! The rest of the show…meh. I mean I’m happy that Mad Men and Glee won for best Drama and Best Comedy, I’m just upset about the entire 30 Rock, The Office and True Blood shut out. Come on! Again, I was excited that Jane Lynch and Eric Stonestreet won for Best Supporting Actress and Actor in a Comedy, but throw a bone to Steve Carell! And even Edie Falco was surprised to win for Best Actress in a Comedy. I am pretty sure that more people will be watching one of my favorite tv shows, Breaking Bad, now that they swept the Best Actor and Best Supporting Actor category. It was the little show that could, AMC’s breakthrough drama that holds it’s own around the juggernaut called Mad Men. I thoroughly enjoyed this year’s Emmys and I am praying that they bless us next year with Jimmy Fallon as a host again. Check out the list of winners here.

Zoe Saldana at the Oscars 2010, courtesy of The Washington Post
It was my favorite awards show, the Oscars and man was it a good ride. Two hosts are not better than one, I mean Alec Baldwin and Steve Martin were funny, but why are they together? Were they trying to sell the It’s Complicated dvd? We need one host, and dammit, get Neil Patrick Harris for next year. That mofo is a gay Billy Crystal: funny, charming, and not to mention, he can sing and dance. But I digress…I predicted The Hurt Locker would win, as well as Mo’Nique and Sandra Bullock. I did not expect The Hurt Locker to win for Best Picture. I thought they would throw Avatar or Inglorious Basterds a bone. I did not predict Zoe Saldana would wear a dress that looks like Cookie Monster was eating Snuffleupagus. Sarah Jessica Parker’s dress needs to make up it’s mind: you are backless, halter or a long evening gown; decide! And what the hell, why were Farrah Fawcett and Bea Arthur cut from the memoriam segment? Then there was the woman who suffered from Kanye West Syndrome. Elinor Burkett interrupted Roger Ross Williams’ acceptance speech, and started talking crazy talk. I just think that this year’s Oscars was a bowl of fun!

I strongly believe that this year’s Oscars was the best ever, and some critics agree with me. The stage was a fantastic crystal dream. It was more intimate, and able to transform with different scenes. I loved how the presenters said something sweet and endearing about the nominees instead of the robotic announcements. When they ran the obligatory remembrance of those we have lost, instead of playing some boring music, Queen Latifah sang her ass off. It was interesting how they presented the awards in the order of how a movie is made. Mad props to Bill Condon, director of the movies Chicago and Dreamgirls, for producing such an innovative show. Hugh Jackman is the new Billy Crystal, without a doubt, and won an Emmy for hosting the Tonys in 2004. I think he will win again. Is it possible to find another from the land down under just like him? A girl can dream…

All of my shows which I am addicted to won a Golden Globe. Mad Men won for Best Drama Series. 30 Rock swept the Best Actor and Actress in a Comedy. But everyone is buzzing about Anna Paquin winning the Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Drama Series. It’s no secret that I love the show True Blood, so I was pleasantly surprised with her win. Ms. Paquin is an exquisite actress of whom I never get tired watching. If you haven’t seen True Blood, start now. The show begins production next month for season two. Until then, I will quench my thirst with a nice glass of dark, rich, and spicy malbec. It’s not the same, but it will do.
