PAGE SEVEN EMMY AWARD DANCE!

[Michael]

As much as I dislike Liza Minnelli she is way way too old to play the role. She is almost 70 years old. Gloria Swanson was only 50.

I fast forwarded through much of the Emmy awards but I liked Ellen Burstyn's reference to a previous nomination when she was only on screen for about 11 seconds and had two lines. (Mrs. Harris)

I don't know from the EMMY awards.

But I did just finish writing the commentary.  I felt I had to include some entries from David Shire's Coprophiliac joke book, to which I, of course, contributed.

One complaint I have about the Emmys is that I wish there were awards for shows that aren't on HBO, Showtime...

Now they have amended the rules again, to also include shows produced for Netflix and other non-broadcast programs.  That is how Jason Batemen received a nomination for the last season of ARRESTED DEVELOPMENT.

In NON-Emmy news, I read today that Clint Eastwood is directing Liza Minnelli as Norma Desmond in the movie version of ALW's musical version of Sunset Boulevard.

No, completely made up - this is the new thing - some website will post anything they want and everyone picks it up and passes it on - it's completely as bogus as you'd think it is.  Liza's people have already said there is not one shred of truth and the producers, Meron and Zadan have never had anything to do with Sunset Blvd.

I thought Streisand owned the film rights?

[TCB]

Am I the only one who wanted to see Liza Minnelli as Norma Desmond?

Not I!
