Awards and Humility

Dish lives by the seat of her pants, picking up whatever pleases the heart. Today it's the soundtrack to Once, specifically "Fallen from the Sky," which helped me get through another grueling run. One of the few times I've cried during an award show was when my two darlings Glen Hansard and Marketa Irglova sang "Falling Slowly" during the Oscars, then WON! Usually the worst song wins, but this one was heartfelt and lovely. What made me blubber was their chemistry as musicians and how that movie showcases raw talent with a small budget. You see the frustration to break out creatively, the connection you make with special people along the way...and then you're at the friggin' Oscars. Sniff. Did they know that would happen? Oh gorge, I need a Kleenex.

Speaking of Awards, the Emmys are on tonight. Dish has her snax lined up and will keep watch over the following:

Who:

is too fat or too thin?
wins all the awards?
sports way too much Botox?
is the queen of the night?
is a freak show?
has the best hair?
has the biggest ass lips?
gives the most boring/interesting speech?

My money is that Mad Men will win big and that Jon Hamm looks the best. Dish's full report comes manyana.
