The Emmy Awards were on last night, hosted by How I Met Your Mother star Neil Patrick Harris, and it's safe to say that it was probably the funniest and most entertaining award show I have EVER seen!
NPH delivered such an entertaining performance as host for the night, hitting every joke and moving with every punch (after he lost to Jon Cryer from Two and a Half Men for Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series, he proceeded to pout and hold a grudge against Cryer, asking him to show the envelope as actual proof that he won.)
But besides the fantastic hosting duties, the entire night was filled with laughs! The first award of the evening was for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series, and for fun the nominees (Amy Poehler, Kristin Wiig, Elizabeth Perkins, Jane Krakowski, Vanessa Williams, and Kristin Chenoweth) all wore different pieces of eye wear, with Poehler wearing a pirate eye patch, Wiig holding up a monacle, and Vanessa Williams being the diva that she is and shaking her head at the camera telling everyone that she would never go along with the joke.
The show delivered tons of laughs, and only a few suprises. Chenoweth was the suprise winner for Best Supporting Actress in a Comedy series, for her role in the already canceled Pushing Daisy's. Another surprise was in the Best Actress in a Comedy Series, with the award going to Toni Collette for her role in the United States of Tara, beating out favorite and frontrunner Tina Fey.
But other than that, it was business as usual. 30 Rock won for Best Comedy Series, Mad Men won for Best Drama Series, Glenn Close won for Best Actress in a Drama Series for her role in Damages, while Bryan Cranston was his second straight award for Best Actor in a Drama for his part in Breaking Bad.
What a fun award show season this is turning out to be! First we had all that drama with the MTV VMA's, and now we had a hilarious Emmy Awards! All I know is that the Oscars and Grammys better deliver this year!

I'm happy that Tina Fey didn't win. I mean, I love her, but Liz Lemon has become a pretty pathetic character in the last season. I hope to see her get some of her strength back this season.
