Sigh… CB and I debated a little about how best to cover this year’s Emmys (which most people have forgotten about), and here’s what we’ve decided: today, Sunday, we’re going to have this open post for all of you to talk about whatever Emmy-related observations you want in real time. I’ll be updating throughout the night with winners and losers and my take on interesting moments throughout the telecast. And then tomorrow, we’ll do a bunch of fashion posts and a “Hot Guy Awards: The Emmys” or “Hot Guy Emmys: the Awards” post. I’ll let you decide on the name. I can already predict that Hugh Laurie and Jon Hamm will make my list of Hot Guy Emmy Awards.

So, I’ll kick things off: who are you excited to see? What are you dreading? I’m excited to see the Mad Men people, of course, and I’m actually looking forward to Clooney & Canalis’ appearance. You know that will be some good gossip, and we should be able to determine in mere seconds whether of not Clooney is over her ass yet. As far as Emmy fashion… well, who are the Emmy girls who usually bring it? See… I can’t really think of one. You know Christina Hendricks is probably going to look like hell, just because no one ever knows how to style a pale, buxom redhead. It’s like stylists need their own Rosetta Stone to figure out where to start with her.

Anyway, to start things off, I just thought I’d show some of my favorite photos of some of my favorite Emmy boys, Jon Stewart and Stephen Colbert, acting weird at the Emmys in years past. The photo of Colbert and Kanye is making my life, actually. The one of Colbert and Jason Jones is pretty righteous too.

PRE-RED CARPET UPDATE: Jesus, what will it take for E! to give Kristen Dos Santos her own show? She knows everything about television, and she would be far more entertaining than these Hills sluts.

RED CARPET UPDATES:
*Didn’t Kelly Osbourne look cute? She’s lost so much weight, and her hair is very pretty.
*ZOMG Ty Burrell’s wife’s dress was insane. She looked like a cat toy.
*Kill me now, because I loved Claire Danes’ pale, beaded/sequiny Armani.
*Wasn’t Kim Kardashian a really good red carpet interviewer? Why doesn’t she have that job? She asks all the right questions and she was surprisingly charming. You could tell La Seacrest was PISSED.
*Jane Lynch looks gorge! As does Lea Michele in de la Renta.
*God, I hate Eva Longoria. With a passion.
*Ricky Gervais looked cute, but JESUS CHRIST JON HAMM HAMM HAMM!!!!!!!! My God. The Hamm in Armani, there should be a law against that.
*January Jones looked like unkempt hell, right?
*I haven’t seen Christina Hendricks full dress yet, but I see lots of boobs and feathers. I’m terrified.
*Bryan Cranston looked cute. I don’t watch Breaking Bad so I have no strong opinion about him though.
*Ooooh… who caught Kate Gosselin’s bitchface on the red carpet? That sh-t was funny.
*Christina Hendricks didn’t look terrible in her Zac Posen. Also: could the camera be on her boobs any more? The camera guy was actually zooming in on them!
*Tina Fey made a rare fashion win in Oscar de la Renta.
*Heidi Klum’s dress was all kinds of wrong, as was Mindy Kaling’s.
*Stephen Moyer & Anna Paquin – cute, but not stellar. Anna seemed like she was phoning it in.
*The little boy from Modern Family is adorable!
*So… La Seacrest was trying to cruise Neal Patrick Harris, correct?
*Hugh Laurie & Steve Carrell are so cute! I love Nancy Walls too. I miss her.
*Kristen Dos Santos is knocked up again! Congrats!
*Juliana Marguilies looked “eh”. I likes Julie Louis-Dreyfus’s Narciso gown. She always wears Narciso, and it always works for her.
*I love Glenn Close and everything, but she didn’t look that great, right?
*I can’t help my overwhelming attraction to John Krasinski. I find him adorable.

Okay, Susan Sarandon just walked off before Guiliana had the chance to interview her, so the red carpet is winding down. I’ll update this post in a few hours with some of the winners and lowers, y’all!

UPDATE – The Awards: The opening was hilarious! Betty White + The Hamm’s dance moves = magic. Also: Clooney + Modern Family cast = hilarity

**Note: George Clooney “won” the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award and gave a short speech. He didn’t walk the red carpet, from what I saw, and I didn’t see Elisabetta Canalis whatsoever. She was bragging everywhere about going to the Emmys with him. Did she get dumped? Was she there? Apparently, she was there, but she got very little camera time, which must have killed her.
