The Emmy nominations follow buzz over critical acclaim, with mixed results.<\/b>
\nOr maybe the noms reflect current attitude and feeling. Almost every show you laud and complain about being overlooked, costs more to watch. And their ratings ain\u2019 t setting no house on fire.
Why is it a bad thing when shows that people actually like and watch get nominated, but those that critics and a few people love, don\u2019 t? Its not.
Another elitist sounding critic. Eventually, churches broke away from Rome and eventually, empires fall. This column represents what all snooty critics are saying today: What about this show that NO ONE saw but was sooooo good. Let\u2019s hold an awards show for a genre called TV and celebrate shows that no one sees and no one probably even streams excepts a few mothers of the actors. What other Americans\u2013all of us true TV folk who (you know) watch television every night live\u2026 Like most people\u2026said today: \u201cWhere was Empire? I loved that writing in How to Get Away with Murder\u201d and \u201cSo glad Modern Family was nominated but where is Fresh Off the Boat.\u201d THEY want the Academy to say \u201cthe only reason the guy who plays Rumplestiltskin on Once Upon A Time never got nominated for an Emmy is he\u2019s not on Game of Thrones. Acting-wise, he steals every scene and can out act the game of thrones cast But god forbid critics say that because the show is on ABC and not HBO. You see, The schism is too great now to be resolved. We need a non-streaming Emmys for people who watch TV and love the genre and a critic Emmys that no one will watch where they can wax poetic about shows no one away from the coasts could even find let alone want to watch. The Critics have \u201cThe Critics Choice Awards\u201d and \u201cThe Broadcast Critics Awards\u201d yet continue to whine about how the Emmys nominate things. Amazing. But please spare us the Emmys are supposed to reward unwatched show elitist junk argument, Variety. They are not. Under that hypothesis none of the shows we cheer on during all the nostalgic clips during the Emmys would even have been recognized with Emmys in the past. TV is for the masses, not the elitists.<\/p>\n
