The Emmy Awards get good – no really

Is it that one tiny little red string that's holding Blake Lively's skirt together from flashing us? And god, she has beautiful legs.

Okay, creepy moment over. And HOW cute is Tina Fey! Even in her fancy dress getups, you still want to tuck her in your pocket and take her to a bar with you and drink a beer or two and discuss politics and sarah palin and children.

Since the shot of the woman in the audience after Dearbhla Walsh's speech was of former nun, runner up in the first season of Big Brother UK, television presenter, and out and proud lesbian, Anna Nolan, one would assume she was the partner to whom Dearbhla was referring!!

Congratulations to Dearbhla, and to Cherry Jones, and to Neil Patrick Harris(!!), representing the LGBT community in fine, winning form!

So glad I stayed up until 4am to watch the live show. Gotta love time differences.

Towards the beginning of Cherry Jones' speech she said "Thank you mom, dad, and Sarah." It was quick, but I'm pretty sure she was referencing her partner there.

I thought it was a great show and was very happy to see two gay lady winners!

This years Emmys were fun and actually very entertaining, I was about to scream when NPH started singing but then it turn to all sorts of funny. Pobably the Emmy people are kicking their own asses for not giving the award to Neil Patick Harris, he deserved to win.

Sounds like it was a good Emmy party. But dude, was I the only one going, WTF is going on with Leighton Meester's face in that pic?! Was that a bad angle or what! Yikes. And come on, she's the pretty, it's hard to mess up perfection. But dang.

I'm a bit sad that Tina Fey got robbed but at least 30 Rock won best comedy. 

Didn't you see Olivia Wilde's dress???? That was by far the best of the night for me (since I wanted Hugh Laurie & House to win)!!! I think she looked AMAZING! I was drooling all over the place.

i also noticed that sarah was absent from the awards and wasn't mentioned in jones's speech. i thought of two things that might've happened: one, fox pressured jones to omitting sarah or two, they broke up. personally, i think it's the second option that more realistic - as muc as fox is homophobic, jones is out and proud so i think she wouldn't give in to trying to push her back to the closet. also, i noticed that she thanked a women name susan, and then the camera cut to an unidentified woman. so perhaps that's her new partner. so i suspect that they broke up.

in any case, one way or the other, lit wasn't the best thing for our visibility last night.

btw, i saw that the neglect of paulson was also mentioned in some staright publications, so perhaps we'll know later what's the dea. 

Chenoweth winning was awesome, I miss Pushing Daisies a lot.

But Sigourney Weaver was once again snubbed, as was Prayers for Bobby in general. I liked how she responded when the name was announced, she just knodded, clapped and smiled. She wasn't pissed, she wasn't faked, she just looked as if she was thinking "yup yet again they missed the real talent".

It takes a LOT to make me forget about Olivia Wilde, but that picture of Blake Lively did just that. Wow. Could she be any more gorgeous?

I wish that I watched football instead.  Although I love the man Neil Patrick Harris was a terrible host. I thought that the glasses joke was um.. dumb although Sarah Silverman did sport one mean looken stache!  Leighton Meester looked like crap in that dress. Blake Lively looked beautiful in her dress!  I was so happy for Kristin Chenoweth! Only good part really in the whole night.

-I speak in random thoughts

Not gonna lie, I cried a little when Kristin Chenoweth won. Could she be any more adorable? Her speech was so cute, and I'm so so glad Pushing Daisies was recognized. Suck on that, ABC!

And yay for 30 Rock winning for the 3rd time IN A ROW! I don't care if it's predictable, 30 Rock deserves every award it can get.

Also, NPH is amazing.

The other guy in the Dr. Horrible sing along blog is Simon Helberg.  He was a regular on STUDIO 60 & THE SUNSET STRIP and is currently a regular on THE BIG BANG THEORY.

Regarding Cherry Jones, after I made a big deal to catch my girlfriend up on Cherry Jones and Sarah Paulson, she gets up and kisses a boy and neglects to mention her partner.  Guess we'll see later if there's something up with that.  That's why I love AfterEllen, because I know you guys will figure it out by the time I get home from work and I can give my honey the update over dinner. Thanks for making me look good.

I thought NPH did a great job.  I think it is getting harder and harder to host these things as we get more and more cynical as a society.

And I knew Blake Lively was something special since the SISTERHOOD OF THE TRAVELING PANTS....she just has that wow thing going.  And she's wearing a braid and still wow.  That takes skills and good genes. 

Dorothy imma let you finish, but the MTV VIDEO AWARDS HAD ONE OF THE MOST MEMORABLE MOMENTS OF ALL TIME.

OF ALL TIME.

 wondering no one had posted about this yet. i mean, c'mon! 

Sarah Paulson twittered this before the Emmys, so if they did break up it must have been on good terms:

"CHERRY JONES AND JESSICA LANGE FOR BEST SUPPORTING ACTRESS IN A TV DRAMA AND BEST ACTRESS IN A TV MOVIE..fingers crossed. I LOVE YOU BOTH."

If I wasn't committed to Dory I'd change my avatar right here and now.

like that whole night i was in totally extacy! the Emmys were a-ma-zing!!!!! i loved every minute of it. i'm glad toni collette won over Tina Fey because toni really deserved it, i mean i love tina but she's won enough already and i'm glad the acadamy chose someone else. 

i really wanted holly hunter to win best actress in a drama series because she worked really hard this season and saving grace is an awesome show! but i'm also glad that glenn close won because i love her too and Damages is also an awesome show!!

neil patrick harris was such a great host and the opening song was hilarious!!!

i was toatlly wondering why Cherry Jones left out Sarah Paulson in her acceptance speech!! i was all WTF??  

and when Dearbhla Walsh came up to accept her award, i was all yay, she won and she's gay :) gut really the dress?? no boob support at all, it was really bad.

chandra wilson and kate walsh were hilarious! i love dana delany (can't wait for desperate housewives :D) mad men, best show on television. sigourny weaver, awesome. it was just all amazing!!!

:D :D :D !!!!!!!!

Wow you wrote exactly my thoughts on the Emmys last night. I literally freaked out when Dr. Horrible came on! I love Felicia and Nathan! And, just saying, the only reason I even watched the Emmys was for NPH <3

Don't argue with my superior wisdom, okay? -Dana Fairbanks <3

I really wanted her to win for Best Supporting Actress.  Not to mention, she look pretty fantastic.

אני קורא, אז אני פשוט צריך לשמוע אותך

When Anna Torv walked out with that dress.....no one was looking at Kiefer Sutherland. Couldn't help but stare. Thank you Marc Bouwer! 

... apparently, because in my household, we found hardly anything funny, and the blond hosting boy - who looks like the American young cousin of Gordon Ramsey - the least. Although, he was at a par with that guy from the horrible Mac ads. And, seriously, it's funny to beat people up? (-> little gay cartoon guy with his dog)

Well, fortunately, there were lots of lovely ladies to help over the lame jokes and boredom. And *two* lesbian winners, yeah! And one with an equally lovely partner - and, none of them looked remotely like the stereotypical lesbian. Double-yeah!

Here's a link to an interview with Dearbhla Walsh, her partner Anna Nolan also talks: http://dynamic.rte.ie/quickaxs/209-rte-tts-thetubridyshow-2009-09-21.smi... (Note: It's past the news segment in the beginning.)

They are so cute in their humbleness!

Kristin Chenoweth's speech, even though I was not happy that Vanessa Williams still hasn't won for her role on Ugly Betty. Very happy that Shohreh Aghashloo won b/c I loved her in that mini-series House of Saddam she played his wife very well.

"Come On Then Get These Good Done Debbies"

NEIL PATRICK HARRIS- omg he made the entire thing amazing.

Kristin Chenoweth is just absolutely adorable...omg

I was surprised at some of the Academy's choices but nonetheless it was highly entertaining.

Jimmy Fallon! omg so hilarious.

Anyone else see Sheetal sitting with Jeff Probst?
