Members bellcurve Posted August 31, 2009 Members Share Posted August 31, 2009 God, as a B&B Fan(in file, since I've given it up recently), I was SO excited to see the win for Drama Series. And then they fly a plane over the big moment to plug American Airlines and two minutes of credits?! What the hell! I thought this was one of the best telecasts this decade(in terms of the graphics and packaging, etc), but the production company really needed to work out their time management issues. I am still pissed that we didn't get a Brad Bell speech. We watch to see speeches, not horrible fashion show ripoffs and Vanessa Williams singing more than the one song. I want this production company to do it again(White Cherry still blows), but they have to work out the timing and push more of those awards to the crafts ceremony. Especially the ones where they know no one will fly from NY to attend. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted August 31, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted August 31, 2009 Even though I don't like his writing, I feel bad for him. He's been waiting a long time for this......... Yikes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members RalphOrtiz Posted August 31, 2009 Members Share Posted August 31, 2009 Definitely embarrassing - especially since this was B&B's first win for best drama. Again I ask - why was Vannessa Williams allowed to have TWO production numbers (the first one lasted more than five minutes)? Didn't they know that they'd go over?

Members bellcurve Posted August 31, 2009 Members Share Posted August 31, 2009 I don't think they did. Did you see how fast they hiked Haskell and LeBlanc on stage before the last commercial break? UGH! SOOOO pissed. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Administrator Toups Posted August 31, 2009 Author Administrator Share Posted August 31, 2009 They should always strive for the show to end 5 minutes before going off, that way they at least have some time for the Best drama speech. And you're suppose to have someone timing everything to see if the time is on track. If it's not, you have to cut stuff out....like Dr. Phil and his wife talking before B&B's reel (it should've been, "Here's the B&B clip!" and that's it).....or Vanessa's second song. And the Buzz Aldren thing....what was that about? That was another 1-2 minutes. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted August 31, 2009 Members Share Posted August 31, 2009 No SH*T. I think that's what Dr. Phil was going for, but Robin just had to ramble on and on and on. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members jfung79 Posted August 31, 2009 Members Share Posted August 31, 2009 I think they should have cut the second Vanessa Williams song. There aren't really any unimportant categories they could have moved to another day, and the presentation of the categories was already bare-bones "here are the nominees" with no clips or intros after awhile. Overall I was happy that there even *was* an awards show. I am fine with B&B winning, given the competition, since I don't watch any of the three shows so can't judge them. Its montage looked like the best -- good mix of action, romance/sex, glamor, and drama. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members BadZoe Posted August 31, 2009 Members Share Posted August 31, 2009 Brad sucks I'm glad he didn't get his Glory speech. Remember at the time we thought Y&R was robbed of a nom, in the current state I'm glad it was. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Faulkner Posted August 31, 2009 Members Share Posted August 31, 2009 Very true...what a difference a few months makes. Would have hated to see MAB/Rauch and their goons validated. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members YRBB Posted August 31, 2009 Members Share Posted August 31, 2009 I'm very, very happy that B&B won--but no acceptance speech? Nothing? Horrible. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members Heyou Posted August 31, 2009 Members Share Posted August 31, 2009 Didn't Brad Bell say that if he won the Emmy that he was retiring or was he only kidding? Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members bellcurve Posted August 31, 2009 Members Share Posted August 31, 2009 That's just a rumor. LOL. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Members DRW50 Posted August 31, 2009 Members Share Posted August 31, 2009 Given the poor storytelling decisions on B&B I'm glad Bradley or Kay Alden didn't get to make a speech onair. That was the funniest part of the show. Somewhere Dick Clark is probably thinking, "See what happens when I don't produce this damn show!" Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
