The Pot and The Kettle

Emmys '06. I am scared. I still don't understand the new nomination process. I love Stockard Channing as much as....well, more than anyone who might even know who she is, but say it with me Bluth fans, "Her?" There may be some new faces as noms but I am seeing a lot of tired old wins. Oh well. Surprisingly, I am so psyched for Conan. And like the last time he hosted, I am anticipating him to steal the show. And thank g-d for that! For some reason Barry Manilow is performing. I still have no idea why. But again, I am scared. And I even kinda like him, again scary, but there is no need for musical numbers at the Emmys ever. Yes ever. OK, so The Pot won't get mad at me for a long post, let's cut to the chase.
