Ready to get started? It's 6:06 in New York City and E! already has golden boy Ryan Seacrest on the red carpet. His Olympic Opening Ceremony commentary was less than helpful ("I have no idea what we're looking at right now...your guess is as good as mine.") but I'm guessing this is something he can handle.
6:15: Giuliana and her alien head are interviewing Mayim Bialik, who's up for Best Supporting Actress in a comedy for her work as the brainy Amy Farrah Fowler on The Big Bang Theory. She's asking her about her parenting website—"I'm a new mom, I'm not going to talk about motherhood all night, you guys, I promise"—and brings the conversation back to herself. I'm distracted by a recollection of Biaylik breastfeeding her baby on the subway...she can keep her parenting advice to herself. Does she do the Alicia Silverstone baby bird feeding thing?
6:22: Seacrest has Judd Apatow and Leslie Mann. I wish she was my big sister. And her dress has pockets! They minimize the Apatows to show Glenn Close arriving. It is weird that for a second I totally thought she was Camilla Parker-Bowles?
6:23: Apparently they've come up with a new gimmick besides the 360 degree dress cam. It's some sort of jewelry close up, and it's super awkward.
6:25: Jimmy Fallon! I wish he was hosting. "Honey Boo Boo's having a killer after party, by the way." Why does he keep touching his bow tie, though?
6:30: SCHMIDT! In custom Brooks Brothers! Giuliana, what a stupid question—Fifty Shades of Grey? He really deserves to win, though. He made a character lovable that could have easily been reprehensible (much like Michael C. Hall, no?)
6:32: Okay, Lena Dunham's pixie is pretty cute. I'm just not as enamored of her as the rest of female NYC. She has a knack for wearing unflattering outfits. Derek Blasberg just tweeted that he had the same haircut in high school. Zing!
6:34: I love Eric Stonestreet from Modern Family. And he really is a Missouri boy! It's so cute that he brought his friend who is basically the reason he became an actor.
6:35: Kiernan Shipka looks so beautiful and age-appropriate in light blue satin. I wish I had been that polished at her age. Or now, really.
6:41: The Fug Girls are reporting that Aaron Samuels from Mean Girls (aka Jonathan Bennett) is in the house—where? Why?
6:42: JON. HAMM. That is all.
6:43: Oh, it's not for jewelry, it's the "mani cam." And there's a mini red carpet for your mani to walk on. I can't believe I just wrote that sentence.
6:52: Commercial break. It's been out for a while but I just love this Coco Rocha dancing White House Black Market spot.
6:54: Heidi Klum looking amazing. She usually does, but that dress is beautiful and simple. And showcases how short Seacrest is. "My chest comes to the top of the [leg] slit, FYI."
6:56: Aziz Ansari looks cute. He should've been nominated—Parks and Rec got almost completely shut out.
7:00: Whoa, Tina Fey looks stunning in Vivienne Westwood. Also, Giuliana, asking people who weren't nominated what category they're presenting is salting the wound, in my opinion.
7:04: Amy Poehler just arrived, sans Will Arnett. I'm still in denial about that. And a super blonde Elisabeth Moss!
7:05: Why is January Jones' hair a different color than her bun? Seacrest calls her out for missing the Emmys last year, and she smartly replies, "Well, I just had a kid, so I was kinda busy."A magazine that will not be named just tweeted that in that tight Zac Posen, it doesn't look like Jones just gave birth. That's probably because she didn't. Her son was born last year before the Emmys.
7:15: Giuliana is talking with Julianne Hough...aka Seacrest's girlfriend. We have the third mention of the new baby. She admits she ignored Seacrest's hair choice. Her hair looks pretty weird though, so I'm wondering what the other one was.
7:18: I wasn't expecting Jim Parsons to have such a strong Southern accent. And Chandler Bing is here!
7:20: Why does Christina Hendricks always wear Christian Siriano? Ugh. And her husband is the creepy guy from Super Troopers and (500) Days of Summer?
7:27: Michael J. Fox and his wife. He's coming back to TV! I just love him. In the background, Nicole Kidman gave Tom Hanks the most awkward air kiss ever.
7:29: Zooey Deschanel's cleavage is rivaling Christina Hendricks'! Just kidding, that's impossible, but she's looking pretty glam and luckily not adorkable.
7:34: Baby mention #4.
7:40: Julia Louis-Dreyfus' hair looks like a Civil War widow. I think we can all agree that's a look no one wants.
7:46: Seacrest just took a move out of the Barney Stinson playbook to embarrass Julie Bowen, but instead of "Have you met Ted?" it was "Have you met Clive?"
8:45: Okay, all the celebrities must be inside since the show starts soon, but E! is of course milking it. Can't stand Ross and Kelly blubbering about who knows what, so taking a quick break before the ceremony begins!
