The Emmys along with host Jimmy Fallon Rocked!

Last nights Emmys started off great with a fun, over the top performance of Bruce Springsteen’s Born to Run, and continued the light, entertaining feel throughout the entire night. Host Jimmy Fallon was surprisingly good, very energetic and did a great tribute to some of the fallen TV shows over the past year.

There weren’t too many surprises for the winners, and surprisingly, most of the people who won deserved the win, which made the show all that much better to watch. Now, if they can only put that kind of energy into the Oscars, maybe people would tune in. And, after that Ricky Gervais moment last night, who isn’t excited about this years Golden Globes, in a kind of train wreck way?
