We never thought we'd say this, but we missed Ryan Seacrest last night during E!'s red carpet coverage of the Screen Actors Guild awards (he called in sick). Between Giuliana Rancic and Debbie Matenopoulos, we were contemplating gouging our eyes out 20 minutes into the hooplah due to the extreme level of awkwardness these ladies achieved. Debbie forced poor Debra Messing to listen to her discuss her hair straightening regimen for what seemed like hours (Debra had an appropriate "What the hell?" look on her face the entire time), and then Giuliana treated us to a rant in which she criticized the media for making a circus out of Heath Ledger's death. Which is appropriate, since she works for one of those media outlets and all.
But our favorite moments had to be when Giuliana and Debbie would butcher the celebrities' names, often during an interview with said celebrity. Above, we present Julia Fischer, Jennifer Ferrera, and America's favorite couple: Brad and Angela.

Last evening marked the 59th Annual Emmy Awards (which I've heard were unyieldingly boring). Although they remain one of the least merit-based awards in history, the Emmys are one of the sharpest, and that should count for something.
After the jump, the gowns! Oh, the gowns!

I thought that I could never care less about the kinds of self-indulgent shopaholics who litter polo fields in the Hamptons. Thanks for reminding me to never say never, you two!
