Emmy Enemy

The Emmys are tonight.  Somehow, it doesn't seem to matter this year. (I know, it never matters).

The Emmys have changed over the years as first cable and then streaming took over TV.  It used to be you had a good idea of the shows that were nominated.  Now you often have whole categories with titles you've never heard of, and couldn't watch even if you had.

But that's not why people don't care this year.  There's just a whole lot of stuff going on, and in the scheme of things, TV people giving each other awards is pretty low on the scale of importance or interest.  Add to that it'll be done virtually, and that takes away what little glamor the event had.

Oh yeah, there's also the chance these TV stars will use the opportunity to give us an earful on political issues.  I ask them to think about it--if we don't care what movie stars say, or pop stars, you certainly don't think anything you say matters to anyone.
