The only bearable way to watch the Emmys?


The DVR shortcut way. You set your DVR to record the beginning of the show then when the show is a half hour from its scheduled off time, say about 10:30, start watching from the beginning. That way you can watch the whole three hours in thirty minutes and spare yourself lots of viewing grief. My favorite skipping technique? Clicking one minute at a time. That's what I did last night and this is the resulting post.

First, quick hits from E's red carpet coverage:

America Ferrera's lovely blue number, upswept hair and elegant drop earrings: Fantastic.

Kate Walsh's too revealing, non-cleavage and "I just came off the beach hair:" Dreadful.

Glenn Close in a black halter dress and looking very un-Patty-like: Confident and Classy.

Helen Mirren in rich, dark purple: Too many shoulder straps.

Katherine Heigl's lily white dress: Too much on the shoulder straps.

Marcia Cross's straight hair and lime green, triple gum drop earrings: Too casual.

Jaime Pressly: Spouting some nonsense about a liquid cabbage diet. Claims doctors use it for patients going to surgery. Honey, when you get your medical degree you let me know. Until then, shut up and eat a taco.

The shoe cam was weird. How about a nose hair cam next year?

How many people do you need covering the red carpet anyway? Kimora Lee Simmons? Nigel Barker? Come on. Hire me. I can get dressed up and say, "Who are you wearing?" in three different languages.

On with the show.
