The Emmys....What a Sham!

So I watched the Emmy's last night and let me tell you.....it's not worth the three hours of your life you waste watching it. I remember growing up and award shows like the Emmys, Golden Globes and Oscars were a BIG DEAL. There was a level of prestige that went with winning an award.

Now... however, its nothing but a freak show. They have Ryan Seacrest hosting the show for god's sake. The only highlight being that the "blue" carpet and stage were made of recyclable materials.

Also, thought it was hilarious how they cut Sally Field off during her Anti-War/Acceptance speech.

But seriously- what's with the Emmy's. Look at the nominees...American Idol was nominated for an Emmy. And Tony Bennett took home like six. And fucking James Spader wins over James Gandolfini. Seriously who is getting paid in the Academy and what would it take for Emmy's to be awarded to actual talent?

And to top it all off they had Jersey Boys sing a tribute to the Sopranos. These uber-feminine broadway dancers are belting out "Bye Bye Baby" while they show a montage of Tony Soprano killing people. It was hilarious/absolutely absurd.

What's next...Brittany's tribute to Sex and the City?

According to Aol.com, the Emmy's averaged nearly 19 percent fewer viewers than tuned in last year. Is it any wonder? I think not.
