Poptificating: The 64th Emmy Awards
Whether we watched the ceremony or skimmed the results, the Popblerd team had one thing in common: we all had strong opinions to voice about the 64th annual Emmy Awards. How strong? Why don’t you read for yourself! Jesse, jilted FX fan: It was fucking awful and awkward. They spaced it out so much at the beginning that all the big ones at the end got played off. And don’t get me started on the lack of FX presence….. Big […]
Popblerd Live Blogs the 2011 Prime Time Emmy Awards!
This started out as a test. Using a new chat client, pulling a couple of people together at the 11th hour, not totally sure if I (Blerd) was even gonna be able to watch the show…this particular live blog had the capacity for disaster. As it turned out, it worked pretty good. I was joined by Drew and Cristobal Tracy for a fun chat where we discussed the overwhelming amount of love shown the Brits at the Emmys, a bang-up […]
Blerd Radio Episode 10: The Idiot Box
Guess what? We’re in double figures!! Welcome to Blerd Radio Episode 10. We had a wee bit of trouble with this one, hopefully you’re able to get through the slight audio glitches. In this episode, we discuss everything from our new comics column to our dinner with Mike Doughty. We mourn the 10th anniversary of 9/11, check in on the status of hurricane victims, criticize this year’s VMAs, try to understand how Lil Wayne sold almost a million copies in […]
The 5ive at 5: Women Who Make Me Wish I Was Straight (A Little) (#3)
Sofia Vergara is…in a word, perfecto. Easy to look at, intelligent, sexy AND self-assured, able to poke fun at herself, and just a teensy-weensy bit crazy? Love it. Plus, she has the jugs of life. If I was hetero, I’d definitely be a breast man. She could feed a family of 12 on those bad boys. While each individual member of the “Modern Family” cast holds their own as far as acting goes and adaptability to their roles, I think […]
A Quick 2010 Emmy Recap
I honestly don’t watch very much TV, so I must admit that the Emmy Awards hold only a minimum amount of appeal to me. However, I was interested enough that I managed to plug into a live feed for the first hour and change and got to see some very deserving performers win awards, including “Modern Family”‘s Eric Stonestreet (Best Supporting Actor, Comedy), “Glee”‘s Jane Lynch (Best Supporting Actress, Comedy) and “Big Bang Theory”‘s Jim Parsons (Best Actor, Comedy). I […]
Handicapping the Emmy Award Nominations: Another Round for Team Conan & the Gleeks!
The first step was made towards television’s biggest night, as the 2010 Emmy Award nominations were announced this morning. I’m not really knowledgeable enough to be able to call whether the right folks were picked-at least for the drama categories. I do know that “Breaking Bad”, “Made Men” and “True Blood” are all highly-regarded shows, so I would assume that they deserve their nominations. It’s always nice to see Mariska Hargitay get nominated for her work as Olivia Benson on […]
The “Modern Family” Controversy: Can’t a Kiss Just Be a Kiss? (Or Not?)
Those of you that have not been watching ABC’s “Modern Family” over the past year-you are missing not only the best new sitcom of the year (fuck “Glee”), but the best sitcom currently on network television. It’s an ensemble in the truest sense of the word-every single main character on that show shines. To me, it’s particularly remarkable because Ed O’ Neill, as family patriarch Jay Pritchett, does something many TV actors are not capable of. He makes you forget […]
