I didn’t watch the Emmys this year, but I just wanted to chime in that I always thought Steve Carrell was one of the worst parts of The Office, and Jim Parsons kicks his ass in the comedy field. Way to go voters for not caving in and giving him a pity Dundee! BTW, how come nobody else ever gets nominated from that show? Angela Martin and Rainn Wilson really deserve some recognition!! ---

> [@AuntiePam](#): > > I like Julie Bowen and her dress was gorgeous, but she’s too skinny for something so low cut. Too bony! Julie Bowen seems afflicted with the same weird ailment that affected Courtney Cox and Jennifer Aniston on Friends, where as they grow older they somehow waste away until their elbows are the widest points of their arms and when they stand up straight with arms at their sides, they resemble nothing so much as lollipops. I appreciate the whole small busted = room to do interesting things with the neckline, but being able to see the ridges of her sternum was a little worrying. > [@Bob Ducca](#): > > This may make me officially an “old fuddy duddy (at 36!)” but she was dressed way too mature for her age. That dress would’ve been perfectly fine if it didn’t have the cleavage cutout. I just want to ask her parents “WTF?” ---
