The Emmy's were on last night. I'm not a huge fan of the award show since the hosts are always usually duds (remember last year's ceremony?) and I watch only a couple of the nominated shows (this year I had three: the now-defunct Pushing Daisies, may it rest in peace, How I Met Your Mother, and Family Guy), but I try to catch it every year anyway. This year I actually had somethings to tune in for: Kristen Chenoweth's nomination, How I Met Your Mother's nomination, and Neil Patrick Harris as a host. Here are the eight things I liked about last night's Emmy's:

1. NPH's opening song ("Straight from Mad Men, there's Joan, Oh the curves she has shown/ could make a blind man say 'Damn'/She could turn a gay straight, oh wait, never mind, there's Jon Hamm...") and monologue. Especially the bit about the endagered theme songs. On Lost's lack of one, he stated that "the last time there were people on a desert island, there was a song about it, and dagnabbit, it was awesome!"

2. The breaking of the award shows according to genre. It was good for people who only cared about comedy, but if you wanted to know who won for comedy series, you had to stick around till the end. 30 Rock took the trophy, and really who didn't see that coming?

3. Kristen Chenoweth taking it home for Pushing Daisies. In her acceptance speech she chirped, ""I'm unemployed now, so I'd like to be on 'Mad Men.' I also like 'The Office' and '24.'" Suck it, ABC, for cancelling that little brilliant show.

4. Toni Collette taking Best Actress in a Comedy Series. Tina Fey has to many awards, she doesn't need any more.

5. NPH's little bit after losing the Supporting Actor Award to Jon Cryer ("It's not awkward. I won't let it get awkward."). He even demanded that Jon Cryer open the envelope to show proof that the Emmy truly belongs to him and yelled to the backstage guys to cut away after we get a glimpse of the name.

6. Jimmy Fallon singing in an electronic voice 'Everybody Ready To Party', and promptly falling on his a** and calling for help in the same voice.

7. The Dr. Horrible Interception

8. Ricky Gervais's little speech before presenting an award: "This is the greatest awards ceremony in the world, definitely ... Thing about the Oscars and the Golden Globes is they got film stars there, with their jawlines and chiseled looks, making me feel bad. But in this room ... I'm probably above average. Steve Carell is considered handsome! Rainn Wilson ... no, we've got to be honest. He is weird, even in this company."

NPH was a fantastic host and was a big step-up from last year's multiple hosts (Who thought that was a good idea?) Here's hoping that we'll see him again next year.

My recap of the season premiere of Supernatural. If you haven't seen the new episode, beware spoilers abound. Sorry for the length, but I figured that such a great episode deserved it.

The episode picked up where the last left off. Lucifer was rising with Sam and Dean trapped there, about to be obliterated, but for some reason (Castiel was my initial thought) they ended up safely on a plane. Then we are introduced to the very nifty new title card and the addition of Mischa Collins (fangirls everywhere squee in delight) to the regular cast.

The apocalpyse is truly starting with several catastrophes occuring all over the world. Chuck informs us that the archangel nuked Castiel. He also freaks out about the bloody molar, which made me shudder in disgust, stuck in his head.

Later, we find out the Michael Sword is the only thing that can stop Lucifer. Chuck gives the boys a head's up about the location of the sword through a message delivered by my favorite thing about the episode, Becky, a crazy Sam girl who runs a slashfic site and squeels in happiness when she finds out the stories are real. She hyperventilates when she sees Sam, gets excited that he was exactly how she pictured him, and looks with disdain at how different Dean looks like than how she imagined him. She loves touching Sam and expresses how firm he is.

The message is cryptic and the boys employ the help of Bobby, who isn't too pleased with Sam, on account that he started armageddon and everything. But Dean eventually works out the puzzle and figures out that the sword may be in John's old storage place. That's when it's revealed the Bobby was possessed (No!) and he brings in a bunch of his other demon buddies. One of them, Meg in a brand-spanking new body. I'm so glad to see my favorite demon back. She thanks Dean for handing them the sword and replies that demon-Bobby will kill him now. But Bobby isn't gonna bow down. He overtakes the demon for the moment and stabs himself instead to save Dean.

The boys then head over to Castle Storage on 42 Rover Hill, the possible location of the sword. But instead they find Zachariah, with several other angels, who informs them that Dean is the sword or more clearly that he is Michael's vessel and that they need his permission for the angel to enter his body. Dean won't cave, but Zachariah is persuasive, presenting several situations that would force Dean to say yes ("How about we heal you from stage 4 stomach cancer?", "Let's see how Sam does without his lungs"). Thankfully before they do any real damage, Castiel swoops down and save them (SQUEE!!!!). Apparently some mysterious force, who also cleared up Sam's demon-blood addiction and put the boys on the plane, patched him back up. He's fully on the boys side now.

Later the boys check up on Bobby, who they manage to get to the hospital on time but the angels kept their promise and he might never be able to walk again. Dean puts on a brave face for his surrogate daddy in spite of everything happenening, but once out of view he expresses his hate for Sam since he turned his back on him. Then he walks away, for the first time, from his brother.

Oh and I forgot to mention Lucifer's vessel Nick, a man who has lost his faith when when his family was butchered. He'll probably be the most interesting character this season (Sorry Castiel). Kudos to the devil though. He really convinced the guy by appearing as his dead wife, claiming that he was nothing but an angel punished for "loving God too much" and promising that, since God had apparently turned his back on him, he will bring him justice. Of course, he says yes and then the mind-blowing season gets rolling.
