The post awards show letdown

The Emmy people are smart. They know that if they were tossed in against big movie stars, their little tv award show wouldn't stand a chance. But coming in the late summer as they do, they are like a small sip of ice cold water on a hot day. That is why the Emmy's are so fun for me. They are on the opposite side of the calendar than the normal awards flurry. That would also explain why every year I get my hopes up, and every year, in one category or another, they are dashed. Still, award shows are like crack to me, so I will keep coming back. And like an addict there were highs and lows for me this year.

Highs:

• Eric Stonestreet: Wonderful speech, completely deserving win, and his whole cast seemed truly happy for him.
•  Modern Family: I would have been happy for this or Glee, but this cast seems like a family, the showrunner was humble, and by gum it is funny stuff!
• Ricky Gervais. How I wish this man hosted everything. That Mel Gibson line was the funniest of the night. 
• Jim Parsons!!! I can't believe he actually won. Sometimes they do get it right!
• Jon Hamm. I will follow that man to the ends of the Earth. He sings, he dances, he spoofs himself, and he is damn sexy. Oh, and he can act.
• George Clooney. One of the worlds' biggest movie stars, and he joins the cast of Modern Family in a wonderful little parody, and then goes and gets all humanitarian. He is what a celebrity should be. Also, shout out to Aunt Rosemary!! 

Lows:

• Nothing for Lost? Seriously?! Writing, directing, acting by Terry O'Quinn, NOTHING?!? The smoke monster shall smite you all.
  
• Breaking Bad. I am sure it is a perfectly fine show, but I just don't get it. And in the year of such great acting, I was disappointed every time this show was called.
• Kyra Sedgewick. Her dress was a pretty color. That is all. Hate her accent, hated her "my hair hasn't seen a brush in two weeks" look, hate her accent, hate that she won for best actress, hate her fake collagen lips and I HATE HER ACCENT.
• Anna Paquin, January Jones, and Tina Fey. Stop listening to stylists and look in the mirror. Y'all look like damn fools.
• Kate Gosslin, get off my television. Forever. 
• This last one breaks my heart a little. Lea Michelle has an incredible voice. She needs to save it for singing, and talk less. Also, the fake smile and overly posed pictures is making her look like a little girl playing dress up, and not like an up and coming star. Also, stop saying "like" in every sentence. You are from New York, not the valley. Take a page from your costar, Dianna Agron, who was poised and well spoken and flawless looking:
