BFF

Okay, I'm a bit of a sucker for award show moments that showcase the normal emotions and reactions of the Hollywood stars. And I have a total crushes on Stephen Colbert, Jon Stewart, and Conan O'Brien, so I'm not really an unbiased source. But I do think two displays of friendship really stick out from last night.

First, Stewart seemed truly upset that he won instead of Colbert, as he calmly mentioned on his first win, "I think this year you actually made a terrible mistake. But thank you." But he helped make up for it by supporting Colbert with the duo's off-the-cuff shtick, with Colbert's now-classic-line (and what most of us were thinking) "I lost to Barry Manilow!"

The second moment comes from our host--who I thought was pretty solid on the night--when Bob Newhart announced "The Office" as winner for Best Comedy. Conan's double fist-pull of pure joy for his former roommate Greg Daniels, was the most honest happiness for another winner that I've seen.

So keep it coming boys, emotions are cute.
