The 60th Primetime Emmy Awards will be handed out on Sunday, and Hollywood's all set for the event. But will you be ready? There's been plenty of action to catch up on, so here's a tip sheet on TV's big night.
That Bald Guy From Sideways Will Rock the House: The big nominee, with 23 nods, is the HBO miniseries John Adams, so you'll be seeing an awful lot of Paul Giamatti—hopefully not in a powdered wig.
Stephen Colbert Is Angry: The nominee ripped into Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Chairman John Schaffner on The Colbert Report this week (see above clip). Are them fightin' words? Will they throw down? Wow, let's hope so.
Britney Spears Won't Perform: Pretty sure about that.
There Will Be Five Hosts: Our own Ryan Seacrest will share duties with Howie Mandel, Jeff Probst, Tom Bergeron and Heidi Klum. Hopefully it'll be as much fun as when they all sat down with Jimmy Kimmel:
It'll Be Quotable: The 60th anniversary will be celebrated with bits featuring classic lines from TV history, "Live long and prosper" to "You look mahvelous" and nothing anyone's ever said on The Hills.
Oprah Will be There: We don't know what she's up to, but apparently it'll be a big deal.
Lauren Conrad Designed Duds: Her dresses are to be worn by the trophy girls who bring the statues to presenters on stage. Oh, and she'll present, too, possibly in a dress designed by Oprah?
Not All the Shows Are Boring: A gorey bizarre episode of South Park—in which Popeye gets sexually assaulted by fuzzy woodland creatures—won an Emmy during the Creative Arts presentation last week. Hannah Montana was nominated but lost to, yes, Classical Baby. Take that, John Adams.
Josh Groban Will Do The Brady Bunch Theme: Plus a whole bunch of others, in a montage from 60 years of theme songs. But how's he going to do that music from Lost?
The Emmys will be handed out Sunday at L.A.'s Nokia Theatre and telecast on ABC. Be there. Oprah will be.
