emmy2008 - and the winners are...
Wasn't the 2008 Emmy broadcast just dreadful? The hosting was abysmal. Thankfully they got rid of the round set, but the addition of the five hosts did nothing to help the hosts. Maybe next year Ellen will be free and they can regain some of their greatness. (And here's a poll about this years hosts.)
(I will admit I did enjoy Jimmy Kimmel presenting the Oustanding Reality host to Jeff Probst - and making them wait until after the commercial. Poetic Justice in action!)
My predictions are notoriously wrong. I did manage to get a few right! The major upset for me was Hugh Laurie not winning for Outstanding Actor in a Drama - he really deserves it! But thanfully James Spader didn't win, so I can take some solace in the that.
