Emmy Spotlight: The Presenters

The Emmys are coming! The Emmys are coming! This week the Nice Girls will preview some of the contenders for Emmys in a variety of categories, focusing on our faves.

You know who gets all of the love and attention leading up to the Emmys? The nominees. Just because they turned in some stellar performances or whatever. Please. The real heavy lifting on Emmy night is done by…well, the crew who produces the telecast and the publicists that orchestrate all of the interviews. Props to them. But let’s not forget the presenters who have to stand up in front of millions of people and try to insert some levity and/or gravity into their 2 minutes of screentime. Who are we looking forward to seeing on Sunday? Herewith, a list:

• Simon Baker – please wear those glasses with your three-piece-suit and use your native Australian accent. Thank you.
• Stephen Moyer – please crack an inappropriate joke in your British accent while wearing a tux. Thank you.
• Tina Fey – please wear those glasses with your…oh, wait. But seriously, if anyone is going to deliver the wit, it’s going to be Ms. Fey. Thank you.
• Kyra Sedgwick & Kevin Bacon – please present together and, if possible, give a shout out to your gorgeous and talented daughter Sosie who was such a wonderful surprise during the latter half of this season of The Closer. Thank you.
• David Boreanaz – please be hot, for Lisa’s sake. Thank you.
• Ricky Gervais – I have no requests of you. Nothing I can imagine will be even close to as hilarious as whatever you pull out of that crazy brain of yours.
• Neil Patrick Harris – please be awesome. As if you needed any urging. Thank you.

Who will have the most memorable moments during this year’s telecast? My bet’s on Gervais, but it’s anybody’s game. Bring it on, Emmy Sunday!
