2009 Emmy Awards Video Pizza Party
The Emmy Awards! Television's biggest night! People dressed in expensive clothes, patting each other on the back for the hard work they do to entertain and/or insult our eyes. Seriously, I know this is television's Golden Age or whatever, we all love 30 Rock and Mad Men and Lost and Friday Night Lights, but television is also very awful! The Emmys should address this somehow. Like, negative awards. Most Despicable Manipulation of Teenagers in Reality TV, for example. Boldest Attempt at Cashing in on Something That Was Popular and Relevant 20 Years Ago. You know, meaningful TV accomplishments. But that won't happen! So, let's talk about what DOES happen. Follow the Videogum Twitter for up-to-the-minute yuck-em-ups about Marg Helgenberger's Lifetime Achievement Award, and join your fellow monsters right here in the comments!

I also forget that Tina Fey is pretty hot in real life.
Score = 1
I know right? I never understand how on 30 Rock she's made out to be unattractive.
Score = 0
Lets add Alyson Hannigan to that list!
Score = 2
I don't think they make her out to be unattractive as much as they make her out to be disorganized in her personal life and kind of a slob with food issues.
Score = 3
Vanessa Williams is WHACK.
Score = 2
Honestly, I think that was on purpose. They ran out of optical props.
Score = 1

Score = 1
Jon Cryer? Really?

Well, that sweater is phenomenal.
Also, no John Cryer. Charlie Sheen does not need one of those.

Diablo Cody's writing is so original and has so much guts. Much much more than 30 Rock, guys.
Score = 7

Score = 1
Did they just pull a Seacrest and cut to commercial before announcing last year's winner of American Idol?
Score = 3
So Flight of the Conchords isn't going to win anything tonight? :(

Even though the majority of this is bullshit awards given to bullshit shows, you have to admit that its nice to see adorable nerds like that last director and the writer from 30 Rock get their moments. JUST SAYING.

Score = 1

Score = 11
Yes. Even their sub-par episodes are better than half the stuff that gets nominated.
Score = 2
Reality TV, eh? Well, on to the Cowboys game for a bit.
Score = 0
I think that NPH played the stupid Family Guy clip out of a perverse kind of gay solidarity with that baby.
Score = 10
Only one Real Housewives show was represented! I call Bullshit!
Score = 4
This is one pathetic musical number. Even by awards show standards,
Score = 4
It's good they put all the "reality" nominations into one section so I can take a break. All this giving-the-awards-to-the-wrong-people-that-don't-deserve-them-at-all is getting me exhausted!
Score = 0
Do people even care about this category?
Score = 1
What's a Survivor?

Score = -12
No one hates Tracy Morgan!

I think I've fallen too far down the rabbit hole. I just threw my hand up in the air at Project Runway not winning.
Score = 7
Flight of the conchords gets nothing? to bad since this was prolly their last season. im not that angry though, since shows like eastbound and down and Its always sunny never get any recognition.
Score = 6
I'm also late to the party, but I'm almost caught up on the TiVo. Fast forwarding through the Family Ugh saved me some time, but before I hit the button it sounded like there was no love in the club for that shit.
Is there any pizza left for me to put my bubblegum on?
Score = 5
You can put it on the pizza made of my tears that I cried when Jemaine lost. (Not really. But Flight of the Conchords should win all awards ever.)
Score = 4
True genius is only recognized post mortem.
Score = 1
i like the conchords but they are not that great. the second season was just okay. the guys didnt even write the episodes, and the ones that they did, kinda sucked. still the emmys are the worst. jon cryer??/ jon effing cryer??

Imagine if all the TV Movie and Mini-series awards were skipped...this whole thing would be done in time for Mad Men at 10! But no. Now I have to choose between seeing Mad Men win an Emmy or seeing Mad Men :(

Score = 1
Thank you, I forgot about that! That's what I'll do!
Score = 1

Score = 3
Jimmy Fallon is not funny. Shocker.
Score = 1
"Jimmy Fallon, our generation's David Letterman"
Score = 2
I've been saying that statement was the most horrible thing to happen at the MTV Video Awards this year. For some reason people are more upset about Kanye. He said he would let her finish. Did Fallon apologize? Did he force them to recant? I'm waiting, Jimmy. I've got all night.
Score = 3
Anyone else getting weirded out by the CBS drama promos?

-The camera guy
Score = 3
That chubby Peter Sarsgaaaaaaard-alike who wrote the Oscar song was kind of funny, no? And that Ricky Gervais, he's got the comedy thing figured out.
Score = 5
Don't stop, Mr Gervais. I need you to assuage my anger of FOTC losses.
Score = 4
Savvy viewers will take not that Jay Leno is NEVER nominated for anything. Just Sayin.
Score = 6
"note" not "not"
Score = 1

Score = -3
Ricky Gervais should host every year.
Score = 8
I agree with Jon Hodgman; 900 is too many. I like The Daily Show and all, but Colbert you guys. This happens every year.
Score = 9
I'm bummed that FotC lost again but I disagree about "Carol Brown" being one of their best.
Maybe they couldn't say "Too Many Dicks on the Dancefloor" on CBS.
Score = 1
Yet a song about fucking mothers is just fine?
Score = 5
I'm not saying it isn't great, but if you're going to pick on of their songs...
Actually, could they have just made FotC songs all of the nominees? That would've been the best option.
Score = 1
I'm quote partial to Sugalumps.

Better be Michael Emerson.

Aww, poor Rodge.

Score = 2
ROFL Sarah Maclachlan
Like, i'm sorry these people died and all. But why didn't they just get the guy from Green Day to sing "Time of your life"?
Score = 10
Add that song to this one and you've got about 15% of the songs used in my senior class video. A video I edited.
Score = 4
The next montage will be set to "Graduation" by Vitamin C.
Score = 6
So Ben from Lost is married to Arlene from True Blood... everyone lost in this category. ESPECIALLY JOHN SLATTERY!!!
Score = 2
Sarah McLachlan starts singing and I was expecting an ASPCA montage...
Score = 9
They are harnessing her tear-inducing powers for dead people instead of neglected animals... but just for tonight.
Score = 1
There is a special level of hell for the assholes at awards shows who clap only for the really famous dead people.
Score = 16
This is going to be the longest death montage ever.
Score = 1
Apparently the Emmy's are about Michael Jackson too.
Score = 7
And Fred Travelena gets NEGATIVE applause. Poor guy.
Score = 2
My favorite dead celebrity got a better crowd response than your favorite dead celebrity. The TV industry continues to reign supreme in respect for the dead.
Score = 2
It was as if a black hole sucked all the applause out of the room when his memorial popped up. It was strange.
Score = 1
Michael Jackson is in the Emmy's death montage because...he made videos that appeared on TV and also performed on it sometimes?
Score = 2
That was classy. Summer of death really took a toll, guys. Lots of :(
Score = 1
Did I miss Billy Mays? or did they snub him?
Score = 5
Please let that be the end of the summer of death. Only non-famous people are allowed to die between now and the Oscars.
Score = 3
Can we have keyboard cat play off 2009, the year of death? Can we just say that keyboard cat sent Sarah McLachlan in his place, & end this?

Score = 2
But... Peggy!
Score = 1
I'd be too scared to not to give Glenn Close the Emmy.
Score = 3
Lest we forget she kills puppies, she'd take out Peggy and turn her into a coat, no regrets.
Score = 4
"Category Sisters" - you know, except Mommy and Daddy love me best. And stop thanking CAA.!
Score = 1
Yay, Glenn Close! (Sorry, Peggy. I was pulling for you, too). For those of you who have not seen Damages, make it a priority. It is FANTASTIC. Ditto for Breaking Bad.
Score = 3
PEGGY WAS ROBBED! Glenn Close in an institution bla bla... but she stole that trophy from Elisabeth Moss. Go to jail. Do not pass go, Glenn.
Score = 3
I think Glenn Close in an institution is the best typo Videogum ever!
Score = 6
Would have like to have seen Elizabeth Moss win, for the scene they clipped from alone. My jaw was on the floor for that whole exchange when it aired.
Score = 4
Glenn Close: Because the Emmys weren't circle-jerky enough this year.

Did Bryan Cranston just accidentally call Glenn Close out for being manish?
Score = 4
Apologies for the split infinitive, and I meant "mannish".
Score = 2
I thought it was a joke about her name, but it could be misunderstood that way!

Score = 5
Sigh. I love 30 Rock as much as the next monster, but FoTC needs some recognition here, people.
Score = 9
I would argue that FotC season one was markedly better than season two. Whereas season three of 30 Rock upped their game from previous seasons. Therefore, a 30 Rock win. But I bet there's a bunch of people out in Audienceville, USA that are just getting their first taste of FotC through this broadcast so we can all hope that it gets more exposure.
Score = 0
True. But I've always been a sucker for the underdog. It's the same reason why I was a little disappointed that Mad Men won Best Drama over Damages and Breaking Bad, even though Mad Men was pretty great last season. Mad Men and 30 Rock are getting a lot of (deserved) good press these days, yet there are some other shows out there that deserve some love. Hopefully the acting wins for the shows I mentioned above will make people more inclined to tune in.
Score = 1
Sigh. Their only reward is their greatness.
Score = 2
I'm not crying, it's just been raining on my face :(

Dig at Jay Leno? Nice one.
Score = 5
Did Tina Fey just make a snide jab at Jay Leno!?!?!?!?
Score = 2
That's it! Shut it down!
Score = 0
That was in no way directed at 30 Rock. As every one knows by now I have a deep love for Chuck and Blair. America doesn't know whats its talking about!
Score = 3
Tina Fey's Leno Show zing is the night's best moment.

Dig at Jay Leno? Nice one.

Score = 0
Well, it all worked out in the end. You can't go wrong with 30 Rock and Mad Men (which I'll have to iTunes now, because it winning went over its (encore) airing). Thanks for the Video Pizza Party!

Welp the Emmys are Hollywoods version Ambien. Off to bed!

HEY WEST COASTERS! We didn't miss it! (We missed it.) Let's start our own commentary, here at comment 301, without looking above for spoilers.
I'll start. The only thing worse than Jon Cryer over NPH was Seth Macfalane being mentioned at all.
Score = 2
I hate United States of Tara as much as everyone who is not Diablo Cody or Stephen Spielberg, but Toni Collette is, I suppose, a pretty good actress.
I think Sarah Silverman should have won solely on the strength of her performance during the award presentation.
Score = 2
Whoa, there's a 12-yeard-old boy who plays a blonde girl on Gossip Girl? I should watch that!
Score = 1
Sarah Palin and JT are the first two truly deserving winners so far.
Score = 2
"First...so far?" I'm dumb.
Score = 1
There's more where that came from. Do a google search for "seona dancing". It's a goldmine.
Score = 0
That was meant for Kiss the Pan.
Score = 0
In reference to Ricky Gervais, I assume? That faux-'80s-Bowie shit was gold, Sam Lowry, gold! He made a pretty decent Bowie-type, I have to say. I never would have guessed!
Score = 0
That was the name of his new wave group. It's really quite amazing.
Score = 0
Looks like you are on your own, Dan S. Keep on like the brave little soldier you are, Pacific Standard Timer!
Score = 1
For a second, I thought you were going to call me a brave little toaster. I got all excited.
Score = 5
long time/first time....though i enjoy reading the writing and the comments of this site, i have to quote one of my favortie shows/guilty pleasures on tv. its a "big, big world" and watching actors gladhand each other isn't how it's supposed to go down....snook the sloth knows all. where's his emmy. or better yet, his nobel peace prize.
Score = -2
WHOA, DR HORRIBLE CAMEO! That was awesome. Pretty sure it was written by Joss too, if having seen every episode of Buffy at least three times makes me qualified to assess.
Score = 2
If this clips show is any indication, we're in a golden age of Variety television.
Score = 1
What's the videogum take on Big Bang Theory? I know it's a little formulaic and airs with Two and a Half Men, but Sheldon makes me giggle like an Elmo doll.
Score = 2
Big Bang Theory is awesomely funny. Don't know Videogum stands on the matter though.
Score = 1
Does my unrelenting coverage in apparently no one else's interest qualify me to be Videogum's west coast correspondent, responsible for nothing?
Score = 2
Awww. Don't worry Dan. I'm on the east coast with insomnia....
Score = 0
Whoa, Jimmy Fallon's bit was TBS Very Funny. Simple, but funny.
Score = 0
I never noticed Ricky Gervais's canines before. Can someone with photoshop skills work him into a Twilight poster? I bet you get comment of the week!
Score = 1
Ok, I agree that NPH is doing a pretty good job hosting, but it strikes me as kind of patronizing that more famous people keep telling him he's doing a great job during the broadcast. The man is a professional. Just accept your award and let him do his job. Sorry, Jon Stewart.
Score = 2
Whoa, Battlestar Galactica shout-out in the clip show! It's not a nomination, but I'll take it. Of course, NCIS and True Blood were also in there.
Score = 1
Ok Chris O'Donnell, when LL Cool J looks at you like he can't believe he has to be your "co-star," it's time to just kill yourself. Hoo-ah.
Score = 1
The whole time Michael Emerson was on stage, I was afraid of being shot or the stage exploding. Also, his wife is HOT!
Score = 1
The Sarah McLachlan number was an interesting choice, because I feel like that song has been dead for ten years. Zing.
Score = 0
I wonder how Boreanaz feels about being paired with the True Blood guy based obviously on the character he played before Bones, who he allegedly would rather forget about. You can't hide from Emmy presenter pairings, Angel!
Score = -1
Wow, I did not predict that Matthew Weiner would be funny, especially after the failed "peggy smokes weed" attempt at a comedy episode.
Score = -1
"i am the only person in this room who has complete creative freedom, and that's why the show is so good." How does a guy this humble manage to write such arrogant characters?
Score = 1
Question: Kyra Sedwick and Holly Hunter are locked in a room. One kills the other. Who wins?
Answer: America.
Score = 1
WHOA TWO IN A ROW FOR CRANSTON! Well deserved but unexpected. Lee Trevino reference, for the kids!
Score = 0
OOOOH Tina Fey zinged Jay Leno big time! I hope he cries.
Score = 0
Sigourney Weaver: still riding high off the success of Alien and Ghostbusters...
Score = 1
Holy shit, is Fred Armisen dating Peggy? When did that happen?
Score = 0
I'm pretty sure they're married.
Score = 1
Remember when AMC briefly pretended it would not rehire Matthew Weiner? Let's see them try that again.
Score = 0
Ok, I can't believe I did that for the whole show. I apologize to everyone and myself. Next time we can prevent this by agreeing, as a coast, to comment together. Fuck it, we'll never do it live!
Score = 3
lol at Dan S hanging out by himself
Score = 6

Hey, how do you set your profile avatar as one of those animated things? I tried it, and it didn't work. Does the file have to be in a certain format?
