Broadway Boards are a-buzz about Hugh Jackman thanking both his wife Debbie AND his (male) partner John. To quote: I’m proud to witness the first bisexual thank you in Emmy history.

I was laughing so hard at the Opera Star Trek that I fell off the bed. That was surreal!

What’s so strange about it? That’s the way the theme song was performed on the show.

The actual lyrics to the Star Trek theme, and the whole sordid story behind them.

-Jon Stewart’s censor-enhanced “[Th]ank you” Katrina rant. “Oh, and George Bush doesn’t like blacks[abbath].”*

Well now that makes sense! I thought the censor-insert was “George Bush doesn’t like black salmon.” I could not figure out what the heck “black salmon” was.

I also thought Conan’s entry was the funniest.

You’re not serious.

You’re totally serious? :eek: …Wow.

Doris Roberts’ “Ray, I’ve been drunk since the wrap party” was an ad-lib, yes?

I hoped it was, but when the rest of the cast started ragging on each other about Brad Garrett’s spin-off (we’ll recast the brother, get someone who knows how to kiss, etc.), I figured it was scripted.

I though Da Ali G Show’s was the funniest, with all the stills of the (gay?) male porn stars.

I think what made the Star Trek song so funny was that they got Frederica von Stade to sing it! Otherwise, Emmy Idol was pretty lame.

Shatner & Spader & Raymond’s wins were all undeserving (and I’m skeptical about Patricia Arquette as well, though I haven’t seen Medium). There were several more deserving in each of those categories, though I feel bad for Peter Boyle, this decade’s Jason Alexander (though at least Boyle did win an Emmy for The X-Files years ago).

And it was pretty shocking that The Life & Death of Peter Sellers ended up walking away with 9 Emmys, including Director, Writing, and Lead Actor, but not Best TV-Movie.

Second that- the others were almost quaint by comparison!

Not with a tuxedoed William Shatner staring deep into the mezzo-soprano’s eyes while she waved her arms around in a glittery purple poncho, it wasn’t!

@N9IWP

Just making sure, that was Kristin “Veronica Mars” Bell doing “Fame”, right?

Yeah, that was her. She’s done some work on Broadway, I think, so she knows how to sing.

@Amok

Kristen Bell was very good in the Reefer Madness musical, and I’m not only saying that because she was dressed like a dominatrix in one scene.

[The_New_Guy]

I cracked up at the Daily Show submission of the writer looking at the Drudge Report and having an alarm flashing on top of the monitor.

@N9IWP

I’m glad Lost won director and series, but dispointed that Terry O’Quinn didn’t win. Lost didn’t win writing either, but lost to “3 stories” episode of House, so that isn’t so bad.

Just making sure, that was Kristin “Veronica Mars” Bell doing “Fame”, right? Bring on the VM musical !(she did sing quite well in one episode)

Ther ARE words to the Star Trek song, so that was a bit of a ripoff. Though I am glad thay hd Bones and Scotty for the final screen.

You should check out the Reefer Madness Musical that Showtime ran last spring (altho I’m not sure how you’ll be able to) Kristen bell is one helluva talented gal
Ana Gastayer is also in it and excellent

it should have been ‘wailed’ by a colluratura (sp?) The mezzo’s voice was too heavy for the piece

Not so shocking - Did you see L&D of PS? EXCELLENT bio-flick - Rush is one HELLUVAn actor

Maybe you misread–it won 9 Emmys but not the top prize (which went to Warm Springs)

sorry yes - i did misread
forgive me?

Do you mean it should have been sung by a lyric mezzo instead of a dramatic one? “Mezzo-soprano” and “coloratura” are ranges, not styles.

well yeah - but i still think a higher voice would have rendered it better
