Pete Hammond’s Notes On The Season: Oscars Nix Screenings; Emmy Controversy?; Drive In Campaigning; Nominees Stay Home
on the Television Academy’s news that the Emmy presentations next month would be stretched out to 6, count ’em,nights culminating with ABC’s primetime broadcast on Sunday September 20. In the piece I mentioned that four categories had been eliminated from the now virtual Emmy show, reducing the number of awards given out on national broadcast TV that night to 23. Two of them were Variety writing and directing awards.
Troublesome indeed. The last time this issue came to a boil, with a real serious attempt to actually take away two each of the contractually guaranteed writer and director primetime Emmy presentations was in 2009. I happened to be a member of the TV Academy Board of Governors then representing the writers branch . It was very similar reasoning at the time. Emmy ratings were going down and the Academy was concerned about doing something .
“We have to keep safe, but at least from the waist up I will be dressed. I promise you that. Unlike the actual Emmys I might have a slight bar just behind the camera there. I am not gonna tell you but I remember hosting the Oscars and I looked down and a certain movie star, who is still a movie star, during the commercial break took out a little hip flask and I thought, ‘yes, that’s how you do it’, but at least in this situation you don’t have to have it stuffed in your pocket.
