2010 Emmy Awards: Jimmy Fallon Hosts and a Roundup of Winners and Nominees

The 2010 Primetime Emmy Awards aired last night. I usually love awards shows and always watch them, rooting for my favorites to take home an award or complain about how my favorites shows and movies were robbed. This is typically a time of indulgence and enjoyment for me, but I realized last night just how much weight the host of an awards show has on the entire show and Jimmy Fallon hosting the 2010 Emmys really turned me off last night.

I do not like Jimmy Fallon. I don’t think he’s funny and I’m actually surprised his career in comedy has done as well as it has. I do hope that Jimmy Fallon has hit his peak with hosting the Emmys and we don’t have to see too much more of him in the future because I can honestly say that if he is chosen to host another awards show anytime soon, that is an awards show I will not be watching.

While watching the 2010 Emmys last night, I was also chatting with a friend and co-blogger of mine who I run the media and entertainment blog Women’s Eye on Media with. We published our Emmys chat from last night, so be sure to check that out for a lot (and I mean a lot) of snarky conversation all about who won last night, who walked away with nothing and of course, a whole lot about our hatred for Jimmy Fallon.
