Back from what surely will go down in history as one of the best Robby Awards. It was just the right number of songs and performers/presenters. My co-host and I did well - it was a very friendly and irreverent crowd and they loved my irreverent humor, especially about Rob himself and other LA awards shows. Patter could not have worked better. The only thing I actually planned was my opening remarks - that all went swimmingly, but it was the off-the-cuff stuff that I frequently thought of just before I went back onstage that was the funniest stuff of the evening. Co-host did well but needs to have some timing lessons in terms of vocal pace - but we were a good duo, I think. When this has been done with other hosts the shows have run over three hours because they usually make it all about them - I'm not that guy so we really kept things moving and we came in as the shortest Robbys in history - two hours and ten minutes. Levi and the Kritzerland shows were, as I knew they would be, non-winners. As soon as I saw the cabaret list I knew who the winner would be and that we would not score that prize two years running, and I knew Levi would get shut out, although I had hopes costumes might win. Marc Ginsburg lost Levi but won for supporting for The Scarlet Pimpernel.
