The Verge: There have now been 70 Emmy Awards ceremonies. That was made abundantly clear throughout this year’s telecast, with jokes like, “Things were very different back [in 1949, when the awards launched] — gas was 17 cents a gallon, a new home cost $7,000, and we all agreed that Nazis were bad.” Certainly over the course of those 70 years, the Academy has made some embarrassing decisions. The Wire never won an Emmy, for example. Neither did Buffy the Vampire Slayer, Star Trek: The Next Generation, or Hannibal. Two and a Half Men, meanwhile, won nine of them. The first Emmy Awards gave one of its six trophies to a ventriloquist! And that’s all before getting into the systematic devaluing and ignoring of stellar performances from people of color for the better part of a century now.

There is a really interesting duality in these events. People across the country need to see and enjoy the event. The networks don’t want to isolate the viewers and since our country can be pretty divided that can be a challenge. I understand why someone may want the broadcast to be more pointed, but it could discourage people from the broadcast and TV shows and Movies that could expand their horizons. One point that the article did not reference is that more people watch clips of these events on Youtube. Though young people may not watch the event live, people go on Youtube and watch clips of their favorite stars winning. Overall the article did not convince me that the Emmys are dying or that Hollywood is collapsing. Does Hollywood have a long way to go? Of course, but so many other industries do too. And though viewers may less be more interested in award shows, I don’t believe that Hollywood will eliminate them.
Have you ever missed any show of your favourite artists all because of lack of information or not getting tickets on time? If your answer is in an affirmative manner then we can surely understand your frustration. This is the reason we are here with our Plan B.
