AWARDS SHOWS: TONY AWARDS 2013
TONY AWARDS 2013 Last year, on the advice of Lily Tomlin, I live-tweeted my thoughts on the Tonys telecast. While that was an interesting experiment, it took away from my own enjoyment a bit, even though my friend Betsy, with whom I was w

AWARD SHOW: OSCARS 2013
OSCARS 2013 This was the second worst Oscars telecast ever, right behind the Whoopi Goldberg one. I was surprised when the powers-that-be hired Seth MacFarlane to host, but I figured they knew something that we didn't. But apparently not

AWARDS SHOW: GRAMMYS 2013
GRAMMYS 2013 After the horrible dramas attendant with this annual music biz awards show, (Whitney Houston dying the day before the show last year, and who can forget Chris Brown pulverizing Rihanna's face on that same night four years ago,

AWARDS SHOW: SCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARDS 2013
SCREEN ACTORS GUILD AWARDS 2013 I better get a monologue ready! Someone in show biz is for sure going to need an understudy this week because so many of the actors last night at the Screen Actors Guild Awards were sick that it had to have

AWARDS SHOW: GOLDEN GLOBES 2013
GOLDEN GLOBES 2013 The January 13 Golden Globes Awards were the night before my birthday on the 14, (yeah, that's right—some of you missed it!,) and the same day as two football play-off games, so I didn't really spare a lot of time to w

KAREN’S MUSINGS/AWARDS SHOWS: OSCARS MUSINGS 2012
OSCARS MUSINGS 2012 I always go in order on my awards shows musings, but I'm so thrilled that Meryl Streep won that I have to begin with that. No one deserved the win more than she did. As they were announcing the category, I was actuall

KAREN’S MUSINGS/AWARD SHOWS: GRAMMYS 2012 MUSINGS
GRAMMYS 2012 MUSINGS The second I heard, on Saturday afternoon, that Whitney Houston had just died, I said, “Oh my God, I was just reading about how good she looks!,” followed immediately by, “Oh no--it's Clive Davis' big Grammys par

AWARD SHOWS: GOLDEN GLOBES 2012
GOLDEN GLOBES 2012 I have to thank those of you who sent me Happy Birthday messages on Saturday, (the day before the Globes telecast,) by every method, (save for carrier pigeon.) They actually all really helped me get through my most diff

KAREN’S MUSINGS: OSCARS 2011
OSCARS 2011 As an entertainment, the Oscars show was a snoozefest and a half. Maybe even two! Let me say up front that I can’t stand Anne Hathaway. She’s phony, full-of-herself, self-conscious, and every move of hers is designed to make
