Congratulations to Sarah Silverman and Christina Applegate for being shortlistedby the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences for the 2008 Emmy for Outstanding Lead Actress in a Comedy Series.

Ellen Degeneres is on a roll. She won Outstanding Talk Show Host, beating Barbara Walters. Tyra Banks won the inaugural Emmy for Outstanding Informative Talk Show. Outstanding talk show award went to Rachael Ray. Read this for a complete list of the winners.

The MTV Music Awards was definitely one of the biggest TV youth events. And it was studded wit stars — Paris Hilton with “true love of the moment” Benji Madden, Sarah Jessica Parker spilling her guts about the “Sex and the City” movie, and Brendan Fraser grabbing all opportunities (literally) to plug his movie “Mummy: Tomb of the Dragon Emperor and Journey to the Center of the Earth.”

Mike Myers spoofed “Wings of Desire” also to plug “The Love Guru” while Charlize Theron talked about their movie “Hancock.”

But it wasn’t all shameless self promotion. Johnny Depp humbly took on two awards for his role as Captain Jack in Pirates of the Caribbean and best villain for Sweeney Todd.

Mike Myers suffered no anxiety attacks while hosting the “I have learned to have way more fun doing these shows,” says Myers, who’ll once again host the MTV Movie Awards.

It’s his second time. “I’m already excited. I think the last time … it was nerve-racking. Now I know exactly what it is, and it’s just fun.”

He’ll be sharing the stage with Lindsay Lohan, Katharine McPhee. Anne Hathaway, Zac Efron, and performers like the Pussycat Dolls and Coldplay. Will there be anyting like his classic “Lord of the Dance” spoof in 1997? We’re not sure, but he promises a lot of new gimmicks. “There’s a lot of props and stunts and stuff like that.” And, just to get your appetites up (or down, depending…) he promises “A full expanse of my underwear.”

Uhm, okay.

Nominees this year include Angelina Jolie, Johnny Depp, Denzel Washington, Will Smith and Juno’s Ellen Page and Michael Cera.

Project Runway winner Christian Siriano will be designing the dress Whoopie Goldberg will wear when she hosts the Tonys. The show will be broadcast by CBS on June 15 — and no other than New York Mayor Michael Bloomberg will open the night. Cool!

The Kids’ Choice Awards named Miley Cyrus the fans’ Favorite TV actress and SInger — and did her the great favor of sparing her from being bathed in a bucket of green slime.

Unfortunately, Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull star Harrison Ford took the bullet — or rather, the bucket. He takes comfort from being in good, if slightly “greenish” company: Justin Timberlake, Nicole Kidman, Pink and Johnny Depp.

Green was the theme of the night. Host Jack Black had several green outfits; favorite Movie Actress Jessica Alba wore a green gown.

Cameron Diaz got back-to-back awards two years running — last year, she took home “Big Burp Award” and this year, she got the “Wanna Be Award.”

“Oh wow. And when I say wow, I mean, Wow!” she said. “This is the biggest honor in my entire life.”

Whoopi Goldberg was visibly upset about being left out of the Oscar tribute to past hosts of the award ceremonies. Now, the producers are apologizing profusely. “Gil Cates called me yesterday,” Goldberg said on the ABC daytime show, The View. “He made an oversight, pure and simple.”

“Welcome to the makeup sex.” That’s how Jon Stewart, host of the Academy Awards, opened the show — referring, of course, to the end of the writer’s strike and the start of (hopefully) better TV.

Of course there were other funnyOscars moments, including Project Runway’s Heidi Klum’s squirrel impersonation.

What will the celebs wear to the Oscars? Test your nose for celeb fashion and predict what gowns the stars will wear to the biggest Hollywood event.

Everyone was watching the Oscars… and more specifically, what people wore to the Oscars. Reese Witherspoon was one of those who picked the perfect gown — classic, but with a unique twist.

Others… well, let’s just say the red carpet looked better than they did.
