Emmy Winner James Spader
It seems odd that my two favorite hot older men were up against each other for an Emmy last night . . . and I didn't even realize it until this past weekend.
I know I said that Keifer deserved an Emmy solely based on the last five minutes of this season of 24 -- the crying jag to end all crying jags -- but when it came down to casting my own imaginary ballot, I was all for the Spader. (Though it was really nice to see the clip of crying Keifer in the "special moments of this year" montage, I will admit.)
I mean, c'mon . . . Spader reinvented a failed show in its final season and essentially gift wrapped guest star Emmys for two of SAGs (in my opinion) cheesiest actors: William Shatner and Sharon Stone. And he conveyed just enough lovable pervertedness to gain not only his own spin-off, but the adoration of even the most conservative Americans. (Read: my mother)
Not many could pull this off with such panache, and then deliver such an appropriately quirky acceptance speech.
And so, I salute you, James Spader. May your spin-off series run long and not start to suck after 3-4 years like most David E. Kelley shows.
Oh and PS: Please please please wear your hot-assed glasses more often.
