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.

Yeah he died, but what about the dog? Image Courtesy of NY Daily News
It was the most anticipated finale for this season. I don’t know what the writers or J.J. Abrams was smoking but it definitely made them forget to finish the damn series correctly. Why were there polar bears on a tropical island? Why did Jacob pick them? How did the plane go down? For real. Don’t tell me about Desmond not pressing the button again. What happened to the dog? Why wasn’t Walter and his son there? Why didn’t Jacob’s brother have a name? I could go on…but I digress. Some questions were answered and it was nice to see everyone back together again. It was bittersweet to learn the demise of Jack and the rest of the survivors and I will miss this tv show with all my heart.

Ugly Betty RIP 2006-2010 courtesy TheInsider.com
It’s true. Ugly Betty will be laid to rest mid-April. I don’t know if it was the ratings or the moving slots, but Betty is gone! Saving Grace, Three Rivers and The Tudors will meet their makers later this year, and Nip/Tuck has already had it’s last breath. We all know that Lost is kaput, so what else is there to watch? Well, I love Glee, and Grey’s Anatomy is still going strong. There is still hope…

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 was skeptical about
Eastwick because I just don’t like movies being made into a television series. I was horribly wrong, in fact, I am now obsessed with it. The cast is fantastic. I’m glad Lindsay Price jumped from Lipstick Jungle to this show. Rebecca Romajin brings a breath of fresh air to her character as an earthy caring mother. Jamie Ray Newman is a show stopper as a nurse with five kids, adding an underlying quiet anger to her role. But I saved the best for last. I am in utter lust for Mr. Darryl Van Horne, played by
Paul Gross, the devilish billionaire who rolls into town and starts a ruckus. He is ten million times sexier than Jack Nicholson, who was in the original film. He looked and sounded familiar and then I remembered that he was the constable from
Due South. I laughed about that show and actually made fun of him because he was Canadian. I regret it now. I dream about this man. I want to cover him in duck fat and bake him naked. His voice alone could sell the H1N1 virus and millions of women would buy it. He has been called an older version of Julian McMahon (who is Australian, by the way), but I cannot and will not do the same. However, I would like to see both of them dressed in nothing but boxer briefs and feeding me grapes.
