Sally Field censored? Who would have thought?
When I think of Sally Field, I think of her roles as the mother in Mrs. Doubtfire and her memorable role as the titular character in Sybil. I have never seen the ABC show Brothers and Sisters nor did I know that Sally Field was even acting anymore. After seeing Sally Field’s train wreck of a speech on Sunday night, I hope that Brothers and Sisters turns into an improvisational show like Curb Your Enthusiasm.
I will admit that I will never watch Brothers and Sisters because it sounds like a bad show. Apparently, people in “the know? felt otherwise and gave her an Emmy for lead actress in a drama series. Everyone who wanted to celebrate Sally Field within the industry may have regretted their decision after her speech. She rambled on about mothers and the role of mothers and celebrating mothers before shouting down the audience to get the most out of her time. There was a silence that ensued just as Sally Field was about to make her big finish.
Apparently, Sally got a bit salty with her language and used the words “God damn? before finishing with a criticism of war. Fox pulled the plug quickly as soon as “God? came out of her mouth which makes no sense since Fox News is the news network for God fearing folk. This is yet another reason why I hate award shows and after that speech I was wishing that New England wasn’t thrashing San Diego by so much so I could go back to sweet lady football.
As a side note, I enjoyed David Chase’s speech after The Sopranos won the final award of the night. Yes, David, it IS hilarious to say that gangsters may be running the United States. Who would have thought you would make that joke? That show should have pulled the plug much sooner than it did because its plot lines became strained under the repetition of gang life. I can’t believe I spent an entire post discussing the Emmys but trust me, this is the last time I will mention any awards shows in this blog unless someone actually does something significant.
