Emmys 2009 (Best Of)

The 61st Annual Primetime Emmy Awards show was the best I've seen to date.

The introductions that recalled the presenter's first acting gig (often times an after-school special) were amusing, the stage was cool, and the acceptances were short (and limited to one speaker each).

But it all would have fallen short, if not for the host, Mr. Doogie Howser, M.D. himself:

Neil Patrick Harris did not disappoint, and neither did some of the stars (and their stylists).


January Jones in Atelier Versace


Debra Messing in Michael Kors


Christina Applegate in Basil Soda


Winner (too-tan) Toni


Oh? Yes.


The Price is Right.


The OG J.Lo Glo


Short and sweet



Pretty, pretty princess(es)


Glam


Heidi is always chic (and pregnant)


Work it, girl.



As for effort


Yes,
yes, and

YES!


Have you ever seen Ricky Gervais so stylish?


Duckie looks cute as a bee


Most improved



Funny people





Black (Done Right)




A little washed out and boring, but not bad


Loves her (can't help it)


Kinda cool

Mmm, not sure


Mila is so gorgeous, I can (almost) disregard the awkward hemline





All classy (and age-appropriate)

. . . nice try, lady.

A special congratulations to Mad Men for winning best drama series!
