The word is out that late night television host, Jimmy Fallon, was well received by his fellow Hollywood cohorts even though the show received lower viewership than last year’s show hosted by Neil Patrick Harris. The night was full of Glee-like moments including a hilarious opening musical number, comedic skits and a few surprise wins including HBO’s Temple Grandin who won 5 Emmys and AMC’s Breaking Bad who won 2 Emmy’s.
Overall, the show was a success and Jimmy seemed to pull it off successfully with his witty skits including his own personal rendition of Elton John’s song, Candle in the Wind, which poked fun at end of Kiefer Sutherland’s show, 24, leaving the airwaves.
This year’s show was a hit because the sense of humor was sharper than in past years where we find the presenters spew out some of the corniest humor that makes you wonder who’s writing the stuff. This year, Fallon’s witty antics kept its audience giggling and laughing throughout the evening without dragging on the show for hours on end.
Another highlight of the evening was the appearance of British comedian, Ricky Gervais, who couldn’t let the night pass without roasting Mel Gibson. While he was complaining about the lack of alcohol in the venue he segued into Mel Gibson’s latest drama and explaining how he wouldn’t be giving him a hard time because “he’s been through a lot…..but not as much as the Jews.” His joke was followed by waiters passing out beer to the audience which Ricky felt was lacking.
The top winners for the evening included: Edie Falco (Nurse Jackie) Best Leading Actress, Jane Lynch (Glee) Best Supporting Actress, Lead Actor, Jim Parsons (The Big Bang Theory), Best Supporting Actor, Eric Stonestreet (Modern Family), Al Pacino, Lead Actor Miniseries/Movie (You Don’t Know Jack), Mad Men, Best Drama , Modern Family Best Comedy, Temple Grandin, Best Made for TV Movie, Claire Danes, Lead Actress Miniseries/Movie (Temple Grandin), The Daily Show with Jon Stewart, Best Comedy Special, and the two Breaking Bad stars Bryan Cranston and Aaron Paul who walked away with Best Supporting Actor and Lead Actor in a drama.
Overall it was a great with many memorable moments, kudos to Jimmy Fallon who managed to pull it off. Congratulations to all of the Emmy winners for 2010.
