Countdown to disappointment
The Emmys are on Sunday.
It always sounds like so much fun, right? But then it isn’t. The reasons?
- The red carpet ends up with awkward chatter between Billy Bush and the fourth supporting actor on CSI: Whatever.
- The host often ends up being a dud (and this time around there’s nothing that can’t be ruined by Ryan Seacrest).
- You have to sit through a hundred million awards for the best miniseries/made-for-TV movie and you totally haven’t seen any of them.
- You spend the whole time wondering if Joan Rivers’ face is just going to snap off and fly across the crowd (although she’s been reduced to Internet live blogging this time).
- Some pain in the ass show you either don’t watch or don’t care about ends up winning all the awards.
So, yeah. I don’t know why I’m such a Negative Nellie today. But I’m just preparing myself for a Charlie Sheen/Jon Cryer sweep. I’m fully ready to fly into a rage if anyone from that show wins (my hatred for it defies all reason).
Anyways, the real question is this: who do we all want to win? There are going to be some tough choices. Alec or Steve? Heroes or House? The entire ‘meh’ best supporting actress in a drama category.
Here are all the awards anyone cares about. Sound off!

The event, judging purely from the awards, the level of banter, and the neverending squealing, seemed so girly it was practically ovulating. I laughed heartily the two times Zac Efron took the stage; the audience literally would not let him speak, overwhelming him with squeals.
So. Ryan Evans. Ryan, as I assume you know if you’ve made it this far in the post, is Sharpay’s super-sparkly, super-awesome, super-gay (coded) brother. This is the Disney Channel, after all, so none of the characters could actually be gay, but of all the likely candidates (cough-CRÈME BRÛLÉE-cough [another side note: Where's Crème Brûlée in movie #2? Is he at culinary school? What, is the actor too good for the Disney channel now? And jeebus, crème brûlée has a lot of accent marks]), Ryan is the most likeliest. And I think Disney is kind of okay with that.
Sometimes I think I know a lot about theater and I’ll want to show off. Then this will happen. “That’s
