David Kronke was appointed Mayor of Television after a bloodless coup in 2000. Since then, he has improved infrastructure, championed greater educational opportunities and fought for reforms that have utterly erased corruption and incompetence from the television industry. Since Mr. Kronke has ascended to power, Television is a far better place. Bulletin: This is taking way too long
Three and a half hours to hand out a mere pittance of ten trophies? They could've – and should've – cut a few of these performances out to bring it to three hours, particularly the strolls down memory lane. I like John Fogerty just fine, but his medley with Jerry Lee Lewis and Little Richard was clearly aimed at fogeys who had long gone to bed and hardly belonged down the homestretch.
Also, not to be too p!ssy about it, but we're kind of getting the shaft backstage here in the pressroom. Not too many winners are visiting, so we're getting nominees and performers. So there's not much drama or joy or any of that, though a lot of people are discussing Ms. Winehouse's travails.
Lessons learned from the evening: A wooden folding chair in a cramped sardine tin is nowhere for someone with a herniated disk to sit for eight hours.
