Is anyone else going to watch the Daytime Emmys tonight? I will probably watch the first hour at my sister's house.
I attended the Daytime Emmys a few years ago in NY. An experience totally wasted on me in terms of celebrity sightings, as I don't watch daytime TV. A Showtime film I wrote was up - why for a
daytime Emmy, you may ask (as I did)... It seems that aside from the regular Prime Time showings, it was snuck in at some strange hour to make it eligible for daytime (as were a number of other excellent films). ...So we were lucky enough to win and marched onstage. I have no idea who handed over the award. I know she's well-known in daytime, but she was just another pretty face to me. That, actually, was the overall impression I got of the daytime celebrity crowd - very
pretty - both the men and the women. Our film did well - picking up, among other things, a best actress, best director and best film award in its category. My date, unfortunately, was someone I didn't know terribly well, but who happened to live in NY. He was not in the business of show and had a TERRIBLE time. Was bored out of his mind. Which, naturally, annoyed me. Here I was all hyped up, dolled up, and excited. And this man sitting beside me is yawning and checking his watch. Too bad I didn't know DR Elmore back then. What a sparkling couple we would have made!
Okay - back to the most boring task in the world. Getting stuff ready for my accountant for my corporate taxes. If there's anyone in the world who keeps sloppier records than I, she wins a prize. And then once a year it catches up with me and I have to turn the house upside down to find everything. It's all there - somewhere. And I moved six months ago to make things even more interesting.
