2008 VMAs

Things I learned watching the 2008 MTV VMAs: Either MTV feels really bad for allowing a bikini-clad comatose mother of two implode live on stage in front of the world last year, or Jive Records paid a shitload of cash to make sure Britney won three awards for a bad video of her dancing –…

2008 Oscars

Things learned watching the 80th Academy Awards: With attendees like Patrick Dempsey, Katherine Heigl and the cast of “Dancing with the Stars,” (thanks ABC) the Oscars have officially become the new Emmys. If you are an attending A-lister and are not nominated don’t dare do the red carpet. Nicole, Hanks and Denzel won’t be mingling…

2008 SAGs

by Johnny Lopez TMZ has me beaucoup busy these days so I haven’t done a recap in a while. In case the Oscars don’t happen I figured I’d rattle off one before the season is over. I hope everyone is doing well and gets a kick out of my latest diatribe. For those who may…

2007 Emmys

The recap is back. Work was too nuts last week, so there was no VMA wrap-up. But were words even necessary? God rest her soul. The Emmy peeps tried to liven up this usually stillborn show by adding musical numbers and setting it in the round. While the cast of “Ugly Betty” might’ve hated seeing…

2007 Oscars

Things I learned from watching the 79th Annual Academy Awards: 1. The 2007 Academy Awards shall go down as the Lesbian Oscars. From Ellen & Melissa to Jodie & Latifah, the ladies who love ladies were out, well sorta, in full force. Let the red carpet munching begin! 2. The Academy thinks the home audience…

2007 Grammys

Due to the crisis in the East, my recap is coming a little later than normal. And by crisis I do mean the death of Anna Nicole Smith. You have no idea what the last few days have been like at work. Insane! But I digress. Things I learned by watching the 49th Annual Grammy…

2007 SAG Awards

Because the SAG Awards were so utterly uneventful and since my day job has been insanely busy, I am forgoing my usual recap format. Instead of my standard laundry list of thoughts, I am going to just give you my biggest gripe of the entire night. And no, it was not Ellen Pompeo’s Mrs. Roper…

2007 Golden Globes

2007 Golden Globes – 1/16/07 by Johnny Lopez Things I learned from the 2007 Golden Globe Awards: 1.The bowtie is dead. Long live the black regular tie.2.Red, red lips make most women look clownish—at least on television.3.Metallic dresses are great for walking the runways of the Westside Piers and the corner of Highland + Santa…

The People’s Choice Awards

The People’s Choice Awards – 1/9/06 Ok, I know you didn’t watch this pathetic show, but with the Globes on Monday I wanted to get in the recap mode again. It’s been a while! You can check out pics of the show here: http://www.wireimage.com/GalleryListing.asp?navtyp=gls====252239&nbc1=1 Or you can just take my word on it. As always…

2006 VMAs

With no amazing performances, surprise guests or controversial moments – save the fact that transsexuals have taken over pop music (via Fergie, Pussycat Dolls and Danity Kane) — last night’s show was quite tepid. While I am glad they brought the show to it’s rightful home of New York –back from two muy malo years…
