What You Missed...
Okay, so let me catch you up on the two categories you missed…
Stephen Colbert and Jon Stewart got into a mock political debate on the environment as Stephen took the stage with a gas-powered leaf blower. Jon said maybe there shouldn’t be an awards show and Stephen said that when celebrities stop publicly congratulating themselves, “the Earth wins.”
Lead Actor in a Comedy…
And the winner was…Ricky Gervais for “Extras” in an upset…He’s not there so Jon and Stephen say they’ll give the award to their friend, Steve Carell. Carell jumps up on the stage and the three of them jump up and down in celebration…
Hugh Laurie and Felicity Huffman took the stage to present Lead Actress in a Drama…
And the winner was…Sally Field for “Brothers & Sisters”…Sally dedicates her award to all the mothers, especially those who wait for their children to come back from war…Everyone applauds, which makes her forget what she was going to say…Then she starts saying, “In fact, if everyone was a mother, there wouldn’t be…” and the director cuts away and cuts the audio. I’m thinking that one wasn’t a mistake. Maybe the other one wasn’t either…
We then got the In Memoriam package…
