The 2007 Emmys

I presume no one gives a damn who wins the little gold statues. But what about the clothes? Or embarrassing dates? Or embarrassing comments? Want to share your thoughts on any of that? If so, comment below. For what it's worth I have the following to say after looking at some red carpet shots. Older and kind of older actresses are the lookers at this thing. In terms of the dresses, the hair and make-up and the altogether "look", the women who look good tonight are (to my eyes) Glenn Close, Helen Mirren, Sally Field, Teri Hatcher (or at least she looks best out of the DHW gals) and Julia Louis Dreyfus. In terms of the ingenues, the only one who I've seen a picture of that I think looks really nice (or at least as good as the ladies mentioned above) is Kristen Bell.

Oh, and it looks like Fox censored part of Sally Fields' acceptance speech - but I can't figure out what that was all about at the moment. I presume it'll be in tomorrow's tv columns though.

Ah, okay, I think it was something along the lines of "let's stop this goddamned war". Yes, we can't say that during the Emmys, can we? After all, it would cut into their time to make 46 jokes about Hayden Panettiere being jailbait.

You don't think Sally Field got censored responding to her family guy scene?

Oh that's just mean. :) I'm sure there were guys who thought she was sexy in a cute way back in the 70s.

And I should say that this could've been an innocent mistake on the part of Fox execs as the FEC is rather ... ummm ... let's say "less than consistent or logical", on what phrases are and aren't banned. But then again you'd think the censor guy/gal would know what was/wasn't allowed - and the FEC does allow goddamned.

"If mothers ruled the world, there would be no God-damned wars in the first place" -- Sally Fields'

It does allow GDed? How about Jesus F-ing Christ?

I'd be the first to admit she was cute, but there's just something about the way Stewie says it that's HILARIOUS.

Well yes, Stewie is often hilarious. And yup, CDed is allowed. The producer in charge of that button should know that - but maybe s/he didn't.

All I have to say is "Suck it, Jesus!"
