It’s fun to see who’s going to be the first gal to rate the “nice dress she almost has on” comment from one of us. But I do love the long flowing gowns that many wear. I kept watching the ALMA awards the other night just to see what Eva would come out in next and she never once missed the mark. She is soooo pretty!

I don’t watch it mainly because it’s a popularity contest of seeing who looks the best, whose dress is the best, etc.

I really love watching my favorites win. I love good TV, and it seems to be coming back with shows like The Closer, Men in Black, and Eli Stone. Of course the fashion, and any time Hugh Laurie gives an acceptance speech.

I like to leave it on in the background while I’m online. That way if a speech or comment catches my interest I can make a note to check out a show or a person or an idea.

I’ve only watched a couple of times. That was enough. All such phoney baloney! I remember laughing at the same ole same ole acceptance speeches. A perfect speech would be: “I want to thank the Academy and all the other big shots. You FINALLY got it right tonight. You’ve overlooked my talent for years, so this is in your face. My family doesn’t give a taters toot cause they didn’t want me to be an actor anyway. As to my competitor for this award — everyone knows you slept with the director last year to beat me out — so stick it in your ear this year!” Now a speech like that might wake up the bored (need to go to the bathroom) audience.

I used to love the emmys, had particular favorites, usually had seen enough of what top shows were nominated to have an opinion. Since tv changed, and some parts were premium, and some cost extra on cable and so forth, and since life got busier, I no longer see everything that is nominated. So the competition aspects of the Emmys that I used to love are simply confusing to me. How can I tell whether Tina Fey or Mary Louise Parker is the better comedy actress when I haven’t seen Mary Louise Parker’s show? [OK, I admit it; I am rooting for TIna Fey. Also for Amy Poehler and Candice Bergen.] So my favorite parts of the show are the parts where they attempt to explain the various shows. Fashion is fashion and acceptance speeches are rarely memorable, except for the ones where I knew the people accepting. Red Carpet interviews are usually so shallow that it seems a waste of time. I sort of wish the Emmys would rent or sell sampler DVDs so you could get see the nominated performances. Like the Grammys do.

I tape it so I can breeze through the commercials later. When I do watch it, I look for a genuine moment, a genuine emotion, and for someone who actually gets it about how unreal the “show” really is.

I love fashion! I also love to see the hairstyles. Hair rules……if I am having a bad hair day….it IS a bad day.

i hate to say it, but i’m an awards show junkie. i love it all: the moment before who is called, the obits of the year slide show, the dresses, the moments like mizrahi grabbing scarlett’s boob, the stupid or beautiful things people say, what’s susan saradon going to say this time? i like to watch the hosts go as far as they will and who goes the farthest from year to year. it sure takes my mind off of election season and who won or didn’t for a few hours on a few nights between now and the oscars. it’s my great escape, and god forbid my kids talk to me during it! the rest of the year i belong to virtually everyone else.

I gotta be true…i couldn’t be less interested. I think part of people being stunned by actors is partly why they can’t see the real Sarah Palin for the nut case that she is. A pretty face and Mom’s apple pie rhetoric and some people are ga ga.
