I'm River Song, and I'll be your host this evening. I have to admit, I was thrilled to be asked. There's nothing I love more than knowing a secret before everyone else.

Some of the results were quite shocking. Look at this one!

This is the first of several unnecessary costume changes. Being the host is fabulous, sweetie.

Our first category is for "Best Reality Television Show." It was a very exciting category. This is me poring over the voting results.

Just kidding! Actually, this category was won by a landslide. I won't say by whom. I didn't peek.

THE BALLOT CAME LIKE THIS, SWEETIE.

What kind of show is this Dr. Who anyway? Would I like it?

It's action-adventure comedy-drama science-fiction-fantasy. This season is kicking ass and was pretty much ignored in the Cutties... so I'm having some fun pretending to be River.

The first five seasons are available on Netflix Streaming. The first season takes a little while to get going, but the payoffs are pretty much incredible.

I would be THRILLED if anyone wants to present any other categories throughout the rest of the day or the first half of the day tomorrow. Just shoot me a PM and I'll give you the information.

When I return tomorrow, I think I will pass the hosting baton over to a new character, because, my dearest sweeties, I'm out of freaking pictures. I gathered so many, and I'm down to me being all badass in the desert. So, prepare for a new and fabulous host persona then!

I'm Captain Jack Harkness. River Song has asked that I take charge of the Cutties for the next several categories, and I agreed. Because I love taking charge. I'm a take-charge kind of guy. (Besides, River and I are old friends. She has my gun, you know.)

I was avoiding the Cutties up until now, because Torchwood didn't have a qualifying season this year, but the more I think about it, I'm easily the best-suited host. Look at how dashing and charming I am!

I am also able to supply something that River was not, which every awards show needs: namely, self-gratifying vanity production song and dance numbers.

Because I'm awesome.

Directing is an important aspect of television production. Take me, for instance.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v254/maragirl/Jack_H.jpg

At this moment, the director told me to look intense, smoldering, and burdened with immortality in a changeable and dying world. And, seriously. Nailed it.

http://img.photobucket.com/albums/v254/maragirl/photo_lrg-1.jpg

And at this moment, the director told me to act like I was riding a rocket. WHEEEEEEE!

I was stunned that not a single episode of Justified was nominated in that category.

I think a show like Justified will have trouble in a single-episode category because it's remarkably consistent. It's rare to have one particular stand-out episode. And "Bloody Harlan", which was the biggest and showiest episode, had some weak writing towards the end which doomed it.

By the way, I actually had to research to double check that it's Louis C.K. but the show is called Louie. Confusing.

It's pretty easy. You probably just need a basic video editing program and the website that'll download the youtube clip for ya. That's all I did for the "Matchies."

I wanted to do more, but, I didn't have the time to assemble a series of clips like what some people do.

Although I can safely assume that Tree of Life is going to be nominated for Best Picture I think... :) Probably gonna win it, unless Scorsese's 3D Kids movie ends up as a one-of-a-kind masterpiece that I predict it'll be.

Good stuff so far, though I really thought Wood was something special in Pierce.

I really ought to watch Breaking Bad.

I think next year we ought to do just a best episode for each genre rather than separate writing and directing awards. Like someone said earlier, I think it's really hard to tell the difference between the two as far as what makes the episode great, given that, despite having many different directors, the style of a TV show stays pretty much the same week to week. It's really a writer's and executive producer's medium.

This win was, by the way, despite a very silly error someone made that left Breaking Bad off the original ballot. I mock.

I haven't watched enough FNL to really make an opinion of it. Just the first two episodes. I thought the movie was dumb.

Guess I should give Parks and Rec another go this summer. Didn't care much at all for the first season.

I watched a couple eps after The Office. Didn't care for it either.

I just caught up on it myself. It got notably better in the second season. Adam Scott is beyond charming in Season 3.

There turned out to be quite some variety in the winners, I'm pleasantly surprised. I think we turned out some solid results, well done everyone. And thanks for hosting, Mara.

Breaking Bad is the only show I followed that won a few. Ha. Guess I got some watching to do.

The Parks win makes me very happy. Most of the stuff that won I've never watched so I can't really complain.

I've been away for a few days, so just got to read through the second half now. So to rightly echo everyone else: Great work, Mara!

It may help that I loved almost all the nominees I'd seen, but it was fun to see so many great individual shows / episodes / people (and variety between them) spread across the categories. Now I just need to sit down and watch Sherlock, Mad Men, Downtown Abbey, Luther, Mildred Pierce and the last few episodes of Party Down and Boardwalk Empire to have a more complete opinion on all of this.

The categories may change slightly next year, as a few were cumbersome (for instance, having a "best episode" instead of breaking it down into writing and directing.)
