Hosted by Ellen DeGeneres, the Annual Primetime Emmy's started off with a big bang on the red carpet. Stars from all across your TV channels, including Jason Batemen, Zach Braff, and Doris Roberts, made an appearance at the awardshow.
But does anyone really watch the Emmys? The stars on the boob tube do not really have the same clout as someone on the big screen, and yet TV stars become a household name, and a personal friend- like Joey, Rachel or Monica from "Friends".
"I used to watch the Emmys when I was home and watched TV programs regularly. But now that I am at college, and don't really have time to watch shows, the Emmy's aren't that important to me," said Justin Schiavone, sophmore, Huntington N.Y.
The Emmy's do hold an importance to many, but the pizzazz of the red carpet isn't just the same as let's say the Grammy's or Oscars- but the dresses are. For some, the Emmys still mean glit and glamour or who wore what and when.
"I like watching the Emmys because of the dresses. My roommates and I sit around laughing at or drooling over them," said Christine Fahey, senior, the Bronx N.Y.
Like Fahey, Dorrie Huen, Junior, Riverhead, N.Y. said she "just watches the Emmy's because of what the celebrities wear, or what the major winners are like best drama series. Otherwise the show just drags on."
But despite anyone's personal feelings about the Emmy's themselves, the 57th annual awards was an overall success, with performers rocking the stage.
The show opened with a magnificent tribute of this past year's funniest moments performed by the Black Eyed Peas and Earth, Wind, and Fire.
The new Emmy idol pitted stars like Kristen Bell, Gary Dourdan, Megan Mullally, William Shatner, Donald Trump, and Macy Gray against each other, allowing the audience to crown Mr. Trump as the big winner of this years Idol, who performed the "Green Acres" theme song with Meghan Mullally.
