I Feel Old!

Sep 20, 2009 20:07

I'm watching the Emmys, and I'm feeling old. I haven't heard of, let alone watched, a lot of the shows nominated. I've never heard of a lot of the actors & actresses nominated. I LOVED Neil Patrick Harris' opening number! He's a pretty good singer, he's funny, and he's a great host. All this, and we're only just over an hour into the show ( Read more... )

Don't worry about feeling old. I didn't know an awful lot of the shows nominated because all we have is basic cable and don't get HBO or Showtime and so many of the shows were on those stations. I think what made me feel a bit old was when they showed the celebrities who have passed on. I was brought up on most of those people!

But, on a happier note, Neil Patrick Harris did a fantastic job! He's quite the host, isn't he? I'm beginning to think there's nothing that this guy can't do!

I don't get HBO or Showtime, either, maybe that's why I haven't heard of so many of these shows. And I don't know how I missed it, but I missed the part where they showed those who have passed on...DANG! And you're right, there's nothing Neil Patrick Harris can't do. He's amazing! Did you know he's a member of a very exclusive magician's club? True fact. To get accepted, you have to come up with a magical-type stunt that has never been done before, and then the membership have to vote you in. He was a great host of the Tonys earlier this year, too. He's one of the few child actors who have grown up to be accepted as adult actors. Bravo for him!!!

And I love the fact that he's a proud openly gay actor. What a guy!

I've only seen a few scenes from his show "How I Met Your Mother", but if I'm not mistaken, he plays a straight character. Proof (we don't really need any, but apparently Hollweird does!) that a gay man CAN play a straight man.
