I skipped watching the Emmys this year because …. well, do I need a reason? When it comes to award shows, my heart has always belonged to the Oscars. The Emmys have never done much for me.
That said, I do want to say Congrats! to all the winners. Bad Education won and I am excited about that, though it still bugs me that if only the film had been purchased by Netflix rather than HBO, it would be Oscar eligible as opposed to having to settle for an Emmy. I’m also happy to see that Zendaya won for Euphoria and …. well, to be honest, there’s not a single winner that I really disagree with. I don’t watch Succession but I know a lot of people love it. Schitt’s Creek doesn’t do much for me but it’s nice that Pop! got some recognition.
I mean, at this point, I’m just happy that the Emmys — which were done with an audience and featured all of the winners accepting either from their home or a hotel room — were even held. If they can do the Emmy, there’s no reason why they can’t do the Oscars, right?
