What’s in the 74th Primetime Emmy Awards that hasn’t arrived for everyone watching?
The show, at least on the TV I watched this year, as it was scheduled directly across from the Toronto International Film Festival, was a terrible, ineffective protagonist on a loved one (ironically). Saturday night live veteran Kenan ThompsonA nosy talker who spent more time on silly comments than on acceptance speeches from the winners, with the occasional hostess intermittent (Sydney Sweeney I was in the room, folks!), bad pacing, bad lighting, slow cutting and the list goes on. (For a more complete dissection of the transmission, read THR top television critic Daniel Feinbergfuture review).
At the same time, the winners did not include the most popular television shows such as the Paramount Network. yellow stone and NBC It’s usBecause they weren’t even featured, although of course they featured montages of how good television is these days.
Also, just one show from this year’s leading NBC network – SNL – won a primetime Emmy (again), which again makes me wonder: why would the Big Four networks, which take turns broadcasting the Emmys, want to broadcast their own funerals? Eventually, they’ll realize it’s not smart business to promote your competition, and then what?
Perhaps most disturbing, Monday night’s results reinforced my belief that most of today’s TV Academy, despite living in the Peak TV era, don’t bother to watch more than a few animated shows containing jokes. What Thompson did in his monologue at the top of the broadcast, echoing something I’ve always written about: “Tonight, we’re going to celebrate the hundreds and hundreds of shows that were produced last year, and awards for five of them. In fact, exactly five programs ended with several awards: HBO’s white lotus (five), apple ted’s bow (Four), from HBO heritage (three), ABC Abbott Elementary (two) and Netflix squid game (two) – while another nine won one each.
Here’s something to think about: AMC’s You better call Saul. is one of the highest-rated TV shows in history, but as its Emmy qualifying run nears its end (the last six episodes of its sixth and final season will air next cycle), it continues to win in every category. . Show time yellow jacketsHe didn’t take home a single statuette in his celebrated rookie season. And it will win for other exciting youth programs like Apple. Release and hulu Only murders in the building.Limited to technical categories presented at one of the non-televised Creative Arts Awards ceremonies.
It’s not that (most) the shows and the people who win don’t deserve it; It’s something others deserve, but it doesn’t feel like a fair hearing. Television Academy members seem to reflexively reward the same shows and people over and over again, which is, frankly, annoying. This year, for the seventh year in a row, the Emmy for Outstanding Variety Talk Series was awarded to HBO. last week tonight (instead of one of the shows that was supposed to air every week) and for the sixth year in a row, won the Emmy for Outstanding Sketch Series. Saturday night live (Which by TV Academy’s weird criteria now only faces one candidate).

Jason Sudeikis (ted’s bow), theater actor Zendaya (Euphoria), comedy actor smart jeans (tricks) and the supporting comedy actor. Brett Goldstein (ted’s bow).
Due to the aforementioned disappointment, I was rooting for Netflix to win. squid gameGlobal Korean-Speaking Phenomenon in Drama Lead Actor (Lee Jung Jae became the first person to win an Emmy for acting for a performance in a language other than English) and director of a drama (Hwang Dong Hyuk, for the pilot); the alphabet Abbott Elementary Best Supporting Actor in a Comedy (Sheryl Lee Ralphwho gave the most memorable speech of the night) and wrote comedy (fifth Brunsonfor the pilot); soft for your Amazon Prime competition series Lizzo Care with Big Grrrls (RuPaul’s Drag Race Race lost after winning in the last four years); s Jerrod CarmichaelHBO booth special Jerrod CarmichaelRothaniel.
We hope the people in charge of this year’s Emmys, both the voters and the people organizing the broadcast, will care a little more next year.
