Reunited


The EMMY's used to be my favorite award show, but I've haven't really paid much attention the last few years.  I did watch most of this year's broadcast, but started it an hour late, so that I could fast forward through the commercials and boring awards.


The 'Is The Bear' a comedy debate was old awhile ago, it's obviously a drama.  I hope the EMMY's get that category fixed or switched before next year, as it really ruined many of the comedy awards, especially for acting.  To see legendary comic actors being sideswiped by a performance with virtually no humor cannot be the intent.  


I love when the EMMY's do reunions, but most of this years fell a little flat.  Throwing random actors together may have seemed a great idea, but the reunions that counted were the Happy Days and West Wing reunions, bringing back actors who worked together on a classic show.

I did love seeing actors Diego Luna and Gael García Bernal present together.  For many in the early 2000's, their work in Y tu mamá también made an impact.  I didn't even own a computer until about 1999 or 2000, and seeing caps of Luna and Bernal, had me on the hunt to rent it when it finally hit Blockbuster.  This one of many films in the early 2000's that introduced me to the world of gay films.

The film also had a lot of nudity from both of it's stars, including the famous and memorable homoerotic shower scene.  Both actors have also given us great posterior perspectives, my favorites being Luna in Y tu mamá tambié and Bernal in Bad Education.
