so, the 2013 emmy awards have come and gone. but, how was the ceremony, how was tv’s night of nights?
to be honest, there’s been better. a lot better. and with Neil patrick harris hosting, i was expecting better too. not only was there no opening song and dance routine (because, as NPH sings later “even hugh hackman does stuff like that”) but his opening monologue was terrible. not funny at all and the only redeeming factor among the banter between the past hosts was kevin spacey cutting in (check out the video below) and tina fey and amy poehler doing what they do best and being downright hilarious.

but, despite game of thrones not winning anything (devastating), the awards themselves weren’t so bad. everyone who won deserved too, even if the winners weren’t from any shows i watch (but thank god big bang didn’t win. sorry to those who love it but i can’t stand that show).
apart from the unimpressive opening act, the major disappointment of the night was the lack of good red carpet dresses!! i mean, even the brownlows had better dresses than these actresses! lets do a comparison shall we?
to my left, a browlow dress (yes, a bit hard to see coz it’s on the side but oh well). and to my right, Claire Danes, winner of best actress in a drama. and that is just not a happy dress. it does not look good on her. lets be honest, she doesn’t fill it. and i’ve personally never been a huge fan of those skin coloured dresses. its just not working. i’m sorry claire danes. but no.
want another example? check out below we have another lovely brownlow dress and a very odd dress from the emmys worn by girls creator, lena dunham. i just don’t think lena likes dressing to suit her body. i don’t know why.
on the other hand you have the amazing sofia vergara who could look incredible in absolutely anything, but she also knows how to dress herself. 
last off, i’ll leave you with at least one more of what i felt to be a redeeming factor in a not so interesting evening. this was the first ever inclusion of the “outstanding choreography” award in the primetime award show. the anouncement of the winner was preceeded by a really cool dance number that included elements from many shows nominated for best show in the different categories. check it out below (you could also skip to 2:00 if you don’t want to listen to the explanation)
