Old Ladies and Gays Ruining American Television

All those minor Emmy Awards that aren’t announced during the Emmy Telecast (scheduled to air on Sunday night) were handed out over the weekend, and I have to admit, I’ve never paid any attention to them before. It was only because Betty White and Neil Patrick Harris were winners that it even entered my radar. But, there are some kind of cool categories here, like best dramatic score, which went to stupid boring overcooked “24.” And who knew they gave Emmys for best costumes in a variety show and that Jimmy Kimmel’s show, of all shows, would be among the winners?
Also, Jeff Probst won best reality show host, as he’s done every single year the category has been in existence (he actually deserves it, I’d argue. He’s the perfect host: Affable, inoffensive, and doesn’t inject him into the show). John Lithgow got a much deserved Emmy for his turn on “Dexter,” and while “The Colbert Report” regularly loses out to “The Daily Show,” in the best talk show category, at least it won best writing for a talk show this year. Oh, and that twat Jamie Oliver won for his reality show. (I say twat only in solidarity with all the British schoolchildren now subjected to his healthy alternatives to pizza, burgers, and stromboli thanks to Oliver).

As far as I'm concerned, there is only one thing to know about the Creative Arts Emmys: Kathy Griffin is really pissed off that she lost to Ryan Seacrest for Reality Show. Like, joking about 5150s and suicide pissed off.
Oh, you didn't know Ryan Seacrest is also an Emmy-grubbing whore, taking advantage of a serious problem in America through the genuine goodwill of Jamie Oliver to win a trophy? Because he is.
