The gays rescue the tragic "People's Choice Awards"
by snicks
I judge awards shows by how many times I push the mute button on the remote, and last night's People's Choice Awards — well let's just say I firmly believe I now have Carpal Tunnel.
The PCA's are unique in that the winners are notified beforehand, which is why you'll never see shots of the nominees in their seats when their names are announced. Because why would you attend if you knew you were going to lose?
This doesn't stop some winners from feigning surprise that they won, but the word must have gotten out, because I didn't see any of that phoniness this year (unfortunately).
You can go here for a complete list of the winners, but let's take a look at some of the highlights ... and lowlights.
The gays ruled!
Jane Lynch won Favorite TV Comedy Actress, meaning both top TV comedy awards were gay hogged. Glee was announced as Favorite TV Comedy at the same time, and as Jane gave her speech (thanking her partner Lara), she seemed oblivious to the fact that Corey Montieth and Chris Colfer were standing right behind her — until the last five seconds.
In the press room, Jane talks about playing Mrs. Brady, sitting in her closet and her wish for Javier Bardem and Tyne Daly to guest star on Glee.
Neil Patrick Harris won for Favorite TV Comedy Actor. He kissed David on the cheek, then gave a speech that will be hard to top this award season.
Backstage Neil was inundated with questions about twins Harper and Gideon. It's obvious that fatherhood suits him well.
Elton John made his first TV appearance since announcing his fatherhood, and was given a standing ovation. It was a sweet moment.
The final highlight was when Pauley Perrette announced the award for — well, I don't remember, because I was too busy appreciating her dress. Pauley has become one of the great equality advocates of the last few years, and she wins the award for Best Dressed.
As for the lowlights, take your pick. I almost didn't get through the first ten minutes because it featured host Queen Latifah (who was atrocious) giving us a sneak peek at The Dilemma. Um, thanks?
The first award was for Favorite Comedy Actor, presented by a dazed and confused Jennifer Aniston to Adam Sandler, who proceeded to prove why he's actually one if the unfunniest people on the face of the earth. And to add insult, he brought the other two unfunniest people on the face of the earth onstage, David Spade and Rob Schneider.
I mentioned that Queen Latifah was atrocious last night, and in all honesty, she had me reaching for the mute button numerous times. It was cringe-inducing. Below you can see her attempt to interview those vapid reality sisters. it's not pretty.
Did we mention that Kristen Stewart picked up an award for Favorite Movie Actress?

Two Men and Two Babies
Neil Patrick Harris and partner David Burtka shared stories and pictures of their new twins, Harper Grace and Gideon Scott, in the new issue of People magazine.
The twins, born with the aid of a surrogate, prompted the couple to a move to a more family-friendly home in the Hollywood Hills and has allowed them to opt out of social commitments.
“I just love the way [the twins] smell. And we can use them as an excuse to get out of almost anything,” Harris told People. “That’s cleared the calendar in a good way.”
“Harper has been fussy but Gideon is the easiest baby in the world,” Burtka said. “They’re just now starting to recognize us and smile.”
