Really, Emmy Awards?

I was actually quite entertained by the Emmy's this year with one major exception: Steve Carell NOT winning for his brilliant portrayal of Michael Scott on NBC's The Office. Even Jim Parsons' (CBS's The Big Bang Theory) mother knew Carell was going to win. But nope...nothing. After 7 seasons of making me laugh so hard that I cried, and a final episode (Goodbye, Michael) that actually made me cry...I really believed with all my heart that Carell was finally going to win an Emmy. But nope...nothing. Then I read this article over at MTV, and it kind of made me think that he didn't win because he didn't believe he was going to win. (I'm a huge believer in the Law of Attraction, btw). http://www.mtv.com/news/articles/1670933/emmy-steve-carell-the-office.jhtml

But who knows, there were some pretty big upsets...the beautiful and talented Melissa McCarthy, for example. She didn't look like she thought she was going to win. I'm not a huge fan of Mike and Molly but I've seen a few episodes and although it has its moments, I'm pretty sure she won because the voters saw McCarthy's brilliantly hilarious performance in Bridesmaids! She was also great on Gilmore Girls...a show that I still miss everyday and I really wish they'd make a TV movie about. But only if it's written by series creator, Amy Sherman-Palladino. That would be amazing. But, I digress.

So to recap, my thoughts on the Emmy's are as follows: The voters suck for not awarding Steve Carell, the leading ladies of comedy jumping on stage beauty-pageant style was brilliant, Modern Family deservedly cleaned up, Ty Burrell's acceptance speech was the best, Jane Lynch was pretty funny ("People wonder why I'm a lesbian...ladies and gentlemen, the cast of Entourage!), and The Office sketch with everybody showing up at Dunder Mifflin was awesomeness! Even Kim Kardashian's part was funny!
