I realize that awards show are a ridiculous waste of time. Afterall, it's 3 hours of Hollywood millionaires patting themselves on the back. But even with all the self-grandizing, I kind of love them. They are a fairly guilty pleasure of mine. I'm able to skip the Oscars most years (I haven't seen a recent movie since The Kings Speech), and Grammys all years (my idea of good music hasn't been nominated in 30 years). However, I'm usually hooked on the Emmys which just happen to be tonight. Modern Family, Homeland, Sherlock, and a lot of stuff I don't watch of course, but they're fun and I can't stand not knowing what everyone else is talking about the next day. This means that I'm currently sitting in front of my TV yelling (to no one but myself, mind you) Woohoo! when Julie Bowen, Eric Stonestreet and Julia Louis-Dreyfus won and yelling Are you kidding me!? when Jon Cryer won.
But of course, I was at a crossroads because there is a Ravens game tonight as well - a huge rivalry game where we are seeking revenge on the Patriots. Last season, we could have gone to the Super Bowl but because of some crappy calls and a horribly missed field goal....we didn't. So what to do, what to do? Thank God for commercial breaks and Go Ravens!
