Emmy Emmy

Not much to say about the Emmys. It seemed like a rerun--unlike the Oscars, Tony, Grammys, etc., TV shows keep running so the same things keep winning year after year.

As for the broadcast itself, it wasn't great but it moved reasonably fast. They didn't take themselves too seriously, but I don't know if I like that. Maybe MTV awards are a joke, but this is allegedly the best TV has to offer. A little pomposity might be in order.

PS I wonder how Kristen Wiig felt when they announced the winner for best supporting actress in a comedy show was Kristin Chenoweth?

I think Kristen Wiig is funny but maybe she is affected by the mean streak that seems to run through her characters. (yes all SNL skits have a mean streak, but hers seems particularly cold and soul-less) Maybe it subliminally (I haven't heard anything openly) affects the voters.

The fact that they have a pronounced degree or irony and regard these awards shows as not art but trade association BS only makes the show more weatchable
