It's the 65th Annual Emmy Awards! I enjoyed the show for the most part, especially NPH hosting. It is nice that the Emmys are usually held far away from the other award shows, so I can appreciate it without being sick of award shows already.
There were a lot of surprise winners, such as The Voice dethroning The Amazing Race for Best Reality Competition, Jeff Daniels winning Best Leading Actor in a Drama Series for The Newsroom, Tony Hale winning Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy for Veep, and Bobby Cannavale winning Best Supporting Actor in a Drama Series for Boardwalk Empire.
Best Parts
- I actually like NPH's opening with the past hosts. The best part was Kevin Spacey's speech and Tina Fey and Amy Poehler heckling NPH.
- Merritt Wever's very short speech. She did not do it intentionally, but it really became the best speech ever. Schmidt is dating an Emmy winner!
- Julia Louis-Dreyfus's speech with Tony Hale holding her purse and being her handler, just like in Veep. Anna Chlumsky also got into the action by texting during the speech.
- The bit about NPH suffering from Excessive Hosting Disorder (EHD). We love How I Met Your Mother, so it was fun to see the cast.
- Nathan Fillion in the "Number in the Middle of the Show"
- Oprah doing the introductions of Jimmy Kimmel writers.
- The dance portion choreographed by the nominees for Best Choreography. We are big So You Think You Can Dance fans, so this is a treat.
Worst Parts
- Jon Hamm's beard
- Melissa Leo's outfit
- Boring musical tributes from Elton John and Carrie Underwood.
Best Dressed
- Sofia Vergara in Vera Wang. She knows what works for her, and she looks amazing in this red, clingy dress.
- Christina Hendricks in Christian Siriano. Christina is another actress famous for her assets, and sometimes she can look as if she's about to pop out at any moment. But this dress is perfectly fitted and shows her curves without danger of over-exposure.
- Allison Williams in Ralph Lauren. The color is beautiful and the dress is very simple and elegant. She wears it with great hair and makeup, too.
- Tina Fey in Narciso Rodriguez. Another gorgeous blue dress. Tina looks sexier here than what she would normally wear.
- Kaley Cuoco in Vera Wang, Kaley has had some weird choices for red carpets, but this one is a winner.
- Mindy Kaling in Georges Chakra. I love the color and it hugs her curves nicely.
- Michelle Dockery in Prada. I love the color blocking on this dress, and she looks very modern and fresh.
- Kerry Washington in Marchesa. I think this is the best pastel of the night. It's very fashionable, but she makes it look so elegant.
- Alyson Hannigan in Marchesa. The eggplant color really complements her red hair, and the fit was beautiful without overwhelming her small frame.
- Cobie Smulders in J. Mendel. Another lovely HIMYM leading lady. She wears this dress so well and it's well-fitted.
- I just had to include Nathan Fillion and his date, Mikaela Hoover
Worst Dressed
- Emilia Clarke in Donna Karan Atelier. This dress looks wrinkled and makes her head looks so much bigger than her body.
- Claire Danes in Armani Prive. The bottom of this dress is fine, but the top looks ill-fitted and she doesn't quite have the assets to fill it up.
- Jessica Pare in Oscar de La Renta. The whole look is just messy, and the shoes are awful.
- Lena Dunham in Prada. It's great that she doesn't do anything conventional, but I wish the skirt was a bit smaller and the pattern not as busy.
- Julianne Hough in Jenny Packham. She looks like she's wearing a leotard with some sparkly covering, and the off-the-shoulders top looks horrible.
- Zosia Mamet in Honor. The dress would be lovely without that weird black bustier.
- Amanda Peet in Erdem. Another wrong move in a sheer dress.
- Robin Wright in Ralph Lauren. She looks like she's going to a funeral. Robin, you're not married to Sean Penn anymore - you are allowed to smile once in awhile.
Split Decision
- Linda Cardellini in Donna Karan Atelier. The dress is a touch too busy, but it has great color and she wears it well. I love the hair.
- Anna Faris in Monique Lhuillier. The color is beautiful and the dress is a nice change from the pastels on the red carpet, but her makeup makes her look 10 years older.
- Connie Britton in Naeem Khan. Connie always looks so pretty, but this dress is just on the wrong side of busy, and the velvet material doesn't help.
