Part of the ceremony is a full screen animated transition between each category with a huge announcer voice and a drumroll.
The music was totally riverdance just now and I toooootally danced.
Linda howard had a video intro and neither of us got it. It was bizarre. Something about voices in her head, and escaped cattle.
Another video - robin lee hatcher and a mantitty cover. I still do not know what is going on.
Now someone is reading quotes fromFlaubert and Springsteen. And now - lifetime achievement award.
No wait. It wasn’t an award. It was some words.

Nora answered what she’s said before - that she thought Locklear was a talented actor, and was very pleased by the way it came out.
The person asking the question replied, “Well, you’re wrong.”
That sound was my jaw hitting the floor.
