Heaven Hi!!!

Let’s have a cup of coffee. Make mine an EMMeee. Hold the editing. Well the 59th annual Emmy Awards were not shy, nice they sent the initial taping of the show to the editing room. This year notable cuts were made to the shows content due to some controversial comments by some of the stars award winners. Kathy Griffin proudly walked the stage and accepted her award for her reality TV show. However, if you are wondering why you didn’t see it, that was because her comment on “Jesus,” struck a nerve with many viewers who didn’t find her joke as funny as the laughs it got from the audience. Maybe next time, a smile and thank you will suffice. …..And Sally Field’s excitement for her third Emmy win was not cut completely, but definitely cut before the exiting music started to play. Fields comments about the war in Iraq and mothers to children maybe would not have been that bad, except that the Fox network saw it differently. The minute Field started to give her flying Nuns about the war and her God**** word, she was cut off and the show continued on. The editing for Sally Fields comment was so completely obvious that the network did not feel the need for anybody to view it. While Fields and Griffin got the snip, FOX allowed Brad Garrett’s jokes that would only be funny to a drunken sailor, go over for everyone to laugh at, quiver over, or hold their stomachs while being nauscious. His jokes received waves of commentary on Fox’s website with infuriated viewers, saying, and “FOX has the worst censorship ever,” to quote one disgruntled viewer. If it wasn’t the spontaneous planned speeches that caught people off guard it was how and where to stand while delivering your speech…………….Stage left. No, wait stage right. Theater in the Round , This is TV is it not ? For seating purposes, the award show was placed on a circular stage, forcing half of the audience to have to look at all the stars backsides for the event. I guess, the reason this show was not kept up to high standards was that nobody was in BOP. The show was out of Balance, Furthermore, the circled stage left some people out of the loop. The staging didn’t accommodate the audience, or the presenters, As we are all actors on our very own Theater in the Round in life we can apply these Acting For Real principles to how we interact in life. So start by taking action and being in BOP, and enjoy the role.

Be BOP!!!
