61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards

I only saw the first half of the awards ceremony because I had to work, but here are some quick thoughts:

Neil Patrick Harris has a great singing voice. Opening number wasn't bad. The supporting comedy actresses all wearing silly glasses was cool, although Vanessa Williams kind of looked like a prude for not participating. I also love the announcer making up random funny facts about each winner. Made the show more entertaining and laid back. I think I kind of like the idea of separating the awards into genres as well. That way you get a better idea of which categories are coming in the next few minutes, rather than in previous years when they are in a random order and you have to sit and wait in case the one you're looking forward to is coming up.

Winners I am happy for:
*Alec Baldwin (30 Rock) - Outstanding Lead Actor in a Comedy Series
*Kristin Chenoweth (Pushing Daisies) - Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series
*Michael Emerson (Lost) - Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Drama Series
*Tina Fey (SNL)- Outstanding Guest Actress in a Comedy Series
*30 Rock - Outstanding Comedy Series
*South Park - Outstanding Animated Program (Finally, The Simpsons hasn't deserved it in years!)
*Pushing Daisies - Outstanding Art Direction for a Single-Camera Series
*Pushing Daisies - Outstanding Costumes for a Series
*Pushing Daisies - Outstanding Makeup for a Single-Camera Series (Non-Prosthetic)
*30 Rock - Outstanding Casting for a Comedy Series
*30 Rock - Outstanding Writing for a Comedy Series
*The Office - Outstanding Directing for a Comedy Series
*Heroes - Outstanding Special Visual Effects for a Series
*30 Rock - Outstanding Picture Editing for a Comedy Series
*The Dharma Initiative (Lost) - Outstanding Creative Achievement in Interactive Media - Fiction
*Dr. Horrible's Sing-Along Blog - Outstanding Special Class - Short Format Live Action Entertainment Programs

Winners who should be defecated on repeatedly:
*Jon Cryer (Two and a Half Men) - Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series (Really, guys? ANYONE else in that category deserved it more than Jon. He shouldn't even have been nominated.)
*Justin Timberlake (SNL)- Outstanding Guest Actor in a Comedy Series (I don't find Timberlake funny, nor do I find him a good actor. Why does he have TWO Emmys?)
