Yep, Uzo sure deserved her win too. Her character, Crazy Eyes, is now iconic!
….and yes, Mo’Nique better get that Emmy nomination for “Bessie”! She’s such a great actress and I’m still mesmerized by her Oscar-winning performance is “Precious”.
Congrats to THE VOICE for winning it’s 3rd Emmy and congrats to Christina Aguilera cause she’s the only reason I watch that show the best singing competition show!
Christina’s 1st cd was blazing, the 2nd was cute (LOVING ME 4 ME and SOAR, DIRTY), the 3rd was so-so (FUSS).
Other than that she is wack, boring, predictable and corny – she sounds harsh vocally and strained.
I think shes on the road to destruction – instead of her listening to her fans and releasing an “ADELE” like soulful cd like STRIPPED she continues to roll in GAGA lane.
WRONG. 100% NOT IN TOUCH WITH HER FANS.
the fact that you find her debut album better than stripped ruins your credibility. no ma’am
So happy for Viola and Regina King (love HTGAWM and been watching Regina’s work since 227)!
Congrats to all the other winners and nominees also, what a big night for people of color!
Bish please all Xtina albums are good especially STRIPPED AND BIONIC! I love all her music she’s an Icon and a Superstar who still going strong ad winning Grammys and Emmys can’t wait for her New Album,Tour and New Season of The Voice she’s been my favorite singer since 1999 and will always be her and Tinashe!
