Jo Reviews

The red carpet was filled with more excitement then the actual show. From show stopping entrances to the altercation between Ryan Seacrest and Sacha Baron Cohen. The show had a few exciting performances and many surprising winners. On the dull side was host Billy Crystal who did not always land his mark on comedy. Hopefully you enjoyed some part of the show and if you did not catch who all the winners were here is a quick recap.
