I don't actually care who won, because all I care about is Neil Patrick Harris. I am so in love with NPH. After seeing how he brilliantly handled the Tony Awards, I see no reason why he should not be handed the hosting of the Oscars. Cute, sexy, super talented- his opening musical number was amazing, including a long patter song list of the networks that I can't imagine anyone else being able to deliver. My favorite lyric: "Joan (Christina Hendricks) of "Mad Men" could "turn a gay man straight; oh, wait, there's Jon Hamm". I think NPH can do more for gay rights than any speech or any march on Washington DC. Who could resist this man?
I wanted the host to win for Best Supporting Actor, but Jon Cryer's acceptance speech was just what award shows need, less lists of "thank you"s & more "funny", as he jokes that he used to think shiny awards were a shallow measure of popularity, "but now I realize, they are the only true measure of a person's real worth as a human being."
I love Mad Men & 30 Rock, so I was happy with their unsurprising wins. It was weird to have the talented Toni Collette win over the always winning Tina Fey. I loved that tiny Kristin Chenoweth (a fave of the Husband & me) won for Pushing Daises, (which had been canceled). Chenoweth, fighting back tears, announced that she was unemployed "& I would like to be on Mad Men. I also like The Office and 24."
Adorable. But again, I am in love with Neil Patrick Harris. Have his people call my people, please.
I agree. There were some funny/light moments this year. And it was needed. The whole show seemed to be that way. Almost poking fun at itself. I enjoyed it. And Neil needs to come back every year!!
ReplyDeleteI agree wholeheartedly....gosh little doogy houser sure has grown up, very cute...
ReplyDeleteYou have a husband, why do you want to steal mine away from me? :-)
ReplyDeleteThe best part of Cryer's win was the comedy gold NPH was spinning. Beautiful thing!
I feel the same way, who care's who won, just give me more NPH please! You know little Doogie Houser is 6'tall, wow! I hate to admit I don't watch most of those shows, but I actually did see 'Grey Gardens' so was very happy to see Jessica Lange win! I missed the beginning, darnit!
ReplyDeleteLoved NPH and please add Ken Howard to the list of those who know how to make an acceptance speech.
ReplyDeleteQuestion, did I miss Billy Mays in the In Memoriam? He should have been included, he had his reality show and all. Yes?
I liked his energy and I loved his outfit. Oh so good.
ReplyDeletehe really is adorable!
ReplyDeleteThat NPH is such a cutie! And he's not even my 'type'!! :-)
