Betty White Rules The Schmemmys

The Creative Arts Emmys (or the Schmemmys as Kathy Griffin has officially dubbed them) is the Emmys' grown step sister who still sits at the children's table even though her ass cheeks don't fit on the tiny stool anymore. Well, she temporarily got up from the children's table last night for her big moment in the spotlight. And she didn't disappoint, because she did the right thing by honoring international treasure Betty White for her triumphant performance on Saturday Night Live!

Unfortunately, Betty wasn't there to accept her award, because the show cut into her nap time and nothing is more important than nap time. No, Betty didn't go because she gets tired of people throwing themselves at her feet and handing over their babies (or trophies) for her to bless.

Surprisingly enough, Betty didn't win every award last night. Illegal, I know. Others won too. Here's just some of the winners (full list here):

Best Guest Actress in a Comedy: Betty White, "Saturday Night Live"

Best Choreography: Mia Michaels, "So You Think You Can Dance"

Best Voiceover Performance: Anne Hathaway, "The Simpsons"

Best Main Titles Design: "Bored to Death"

Best Main Title Theme Music: "Nurse Jackie"

Best Guest Actor in a Drama Series: John Lithgow, "Dexter" (he accidentally thanked HBO instead of Showtime!)

Best Guest Actor in a Comedy Series: Neil Patrick Harris, "Glee"

Best Variety Writing: "Colbert Report"

Best Commercial: "The Man Your Man Could Smell Like • Old Spice Body Wash"

Best Reality Program: "Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution"

Best Reality Host: Jeff Probst, "Survivor"

Best Guest Actress in a Drama Series: Ann-Margret, "Law & Order: SVU" (she receives the only standing ovation of the night)

And here's some pictures of the winners including: Neil Patrick Harris double fisting, Ann-Margaret, John Lithgow, Gaycrest, Isaiah Mustafa (with Jon Hamm), and Jeff Probst with his girlfriend Sheetal Sheth.

O yeah! I kinda remember hearing about that! I had totally forgotten! I was a little rough with her in here but I do LOVE Ann-Margaret, don't get me wrong. I've probably seen everything she made and practically swelled with joy at Grumpy Old Men even just cuz she still got it yo;p

Alot of you here are probably too young to remember Ann-Margret in her hey-day...she was smokin' hot! Back in the early 70's during a live musical performance in Lake Tahoe she fell 40 feet from a mechanical platform on stage and literally smashed one side of her face flat as a pancake. Her road to recovery was long and painful, about 2 years, and she eventually returned to work although she never looked the same. Although her looks suffered her talent didn't and her appearance on SVU was worth an Emmy.

I've heard good things about The United States of Tara, but then again, you can't expect any awards show to not have some sort of agenda. I don't watch the Emmy's but it seems like (judging by the winners), the nominees that got the most hype are the ones that won.

@Centy: I watched the season ender earlier (I have no idea what stays and what goes - I can't be angry ALL the time, yaknow?) and it was GORGEOUS. I can't even tell you. Seriously - they have MAJOR talent on that show. ALL the actors, the designers, the direction, the writing. It's an amazing show. And I never say that. Especially not about TV.

No Criminal Minds?

Not that I'd watch the Emmy's anyway, but that show is pure win.

And no United States of Tara; (I don't even know if it counts but)it's one of the HOTTEST shows EVER - nevermind this year.

I really like Toni Colette; I loved her in Muriel's Wedding.

I heard she was good in it (UST) but then I never heard anythign else, so I thought it was was cancelled.

But maybe not.

Wait a second- you're telling me the guy IN the Old Spice commercial won the Emmy for the commerical? kinda fucked up shit is that? Those commercials suck and the best thing about them are the special effects. He's a crap actor.

So that irritating twat from the Progressive Insurance commerials whose face I just wanna punch in could wind up with an Emmy, too? Enough already.

You make me hate my hips! I hate my hips!

Centaurious's picture

I wonder if Betty White is just going to keep on truckin' and then quietly retire, or if she's going to pull something dramatic like kicking the bucket in the middle of Saturday Night Live.

I vote for the second option.

Not anytime soon, but when the time comes.

I love her!

In fact I'm watching it right now!

I just happened to turn on Law and Order last month and I just couldn't believe it....Jaclyn Smith, Ann Margret! I think there was another winner on, cannot remember.

I was blown away by Ann's performance, she deserved this.

I'd love to see more of her.

I used to love watching awards shows, mainly to see what everyone was wearing.

Now that I'm older and jaded, I see them for what they really are - narcissistic self-congratulatory circle jerks.

I haven't watched an award show since Jethro Tull won Best Heavy Metal Act at the Grammy's. That's when I realized that these shows were as based in reality as professional wrestling. Rarely is real talent rewarded. If it were, Ryan Seacrest would be holding someone's jock and not an Emmy.

I love Betty White - she is a national treasure - but her appearance on SNL was so so, like most of the performances on SNL. So she said "muffin" a few times, big deal. Kristen Chenoweth was robbed !!! Betty White was much funnier in an old Golden Girls episode than on SNL.

IMO NPH in Glee was awesome (as was Kristen Chenoweth) but, aside fromm Glee, I don't watch a lot of tv shows so I don't can't say he absolutely deserved it.

Heres my fave NPH performance on Glee:

"Jamie Oliver's Food Revolution"?

That's quite a reach. "Hell's Kitchen" and "Survivor" and "The Apprentice" probably got the snub because voters DO think kids should eat healthy.

Ann-Margaret did a good job on that epi BUT I think it's kinda rude to single her out. There were a lot of good guests on that one.

I'm not diminishing Betty's past work or anything, but I'm kind of sick of seeing her.

Ann-Margret does look terrific. My only criticism is the white bra showing through the black dress.

Kadooz to the writers of "The Colbert Report". It is brilliantly funny.

Kadooz to Betty White for showing the whelps at SNL how comedy is done.

I thought I was totally sick of the hoopla over Betty White and then I watched my DVD's of Mary Tyler Moore and her Sue Ann Nivens portrayal was just fabulous.

Waiting for open damned post.. since there isnt one, I MUST know who this is!!!!

"This celebrity dad whose children are all grown shouldn’t expect an empty nest just yet. Although we hear about a relationship with his very famous child in the press now and again, he’s been in contact with a secret second family. He allegedly had another wife or mistress (the legalities aren’t clear) and had a family with her. His youngest child from that relationship is somewhere around 9 years old. His public and famous family have no idea this other family exists, and he pays them handsomely to keep quiet about it."

Any ideas??

Martin Sheen maybe?

Ok, love Kathy Griffin, but her guest appearance on SVU was not the one.

She, well, she bobs her head way too much in it, plus the editors really fucked up her best (kissing) scene, so thats why I'm more accepting of her losing... just in that category, because PROBST? really? WTF schmemmys?

kieranx's picture

What a load of bullshit. Betty White wins for being Betty White. Ann Hathaway takes the award away from someone who does a season's worth of work for one lame guest shot where she did nothing special (like her whole fucking career) and NPH gets two Emmys because he's the Kate Winslet of TV, sooooo overdue. These awards are an even bigger joke than the Grammys.
