y friend Bryan runs a TV blog over at Nerve called "The Remote Island. I'm glad this is so, because since I met him in my first year of college, Bryan has consistently been one of the smartest and most knowledgeable pop culture critics I know, even when his job did not require that particular skill. Bryan hates awards shows (hates hates), but since I love them (love love) I made him promise that I could live-blog the Emmys for him. He said this was fine. Which is great, because it makes me feel like I'm not just sitting on my futon watching the Emmys like a sad, pathetic addict, but that I am, rather, working. So without further ado, my live blog of Sunday night's Emmys. And what a miserable awards show it was.
