Post-Peabody's

I arrived at the Waldorf around 11:15 a.m. and my friend Andrew and I wandered around until we found the right ballroom (the hotel is huge!). I was a little surprised at how many "older" people were there. But really I should have known it would be a mostly older crowd... the people with the most experience are going to be the most talented!
At noon we took our seats at table 73 for the opening of the ceremonies. Michael Adams, the president of University of Georgia, gave an introductory speech and afterwards we ate a delicious lunch: steak, salad, potatoes and chocolate. Unfortunately Andrew and I had to leave as soon as the ceremony began, which was a little disappointing... but it was time for both of us to get back to work. On the bright side, I did get to see Stephen Colbert! Very charismatic and handsome, just like on T.V.
Even though I didn't get to see the ceremonies, here are some highlights:
- Lesley Stahl replaced Brian Williams as the emcee because Williams opted to attend Tim Russert's funeral (and rightly so).
- Heidi Klum was present to accept an award for Project Runway . Showtime's Dexter won as well.
- The Colbert Report , The Discovery Channel's Planet Earth won,
- ABC's Wounds of War – The Long Road Home for Our Nation`s Veterans, which is a series of reports by news correspondent Bob Woodruff, won a Peabody, along with many others.
