Well, this had to be the ultimate bittersweet night for Lea Michele. She won for best actress in a comedy, and Glee won, and it was her first public appearance since Cory Monteith died, and... it is so hard to face doing something, knowing exactly what everyone will be thinking and wanting to ask, and suspecting you will cry your way through the night.

But Lea looked gorgeous -- that dress is extremely cute -- and in fact the other two ladies behind her look nice also (I wonder if the three of them intentionally color-coordinated)(and then there's Kevin McHale, whose shorts with socks/tights/whatever I can't even talk about right now but suffice to say unless Cory Monteith once told him, "BELIEVE IN THE SHORTS, DUDE," then I really don't get why he couldn't just wear freaking pants). Lea has worn a lot of that darker bright pink before; perhaps it's like her sartorial Happy Place. Good for her for pulling it together, making a classy tribute to her boyfriend, and doing him and herself proud. What they're doing at work right now must be unimaginably hard, and I'm glad they get to show up today feeling like everything they did with Cory really was appreciated.

I don't have anything funny or snarky to add. Sometimes you just have to hug it out, not fug it out.
