All about the Primetime Emmy Awards


Is there anything a gay man loves more than a good awards show? I think not! Well, besides you know what :)' How U Doin?!?!?! The Primetime Emmy Awards are this Sunday night and let me tell you, I love The Emmy's! I mean, I have always loved TV and there are soooo many good categories. It's not like the Oscars where they take up so much time on the technical awards. The Emmy's know how to do it. They have a separate show just for the technical side of the bizz so we don't have to watch that crap. I thought it would be fun to pick who I want/think should win based on my criteria...which is whether I like them or not...lol.

You guys should check it out just for that :)
