As Jimmy Kimmel boards the EmmyAwards as host, Hollywood wrestles with the future of awards fetes
As Jimmy Kimmel boards the show as host, Hollywood wrestles with the future of awards fetes — and new examples both remote and in-person present a few options.
A snarky comment from talent accompanying a press release rarely draws attention, but Jimmy Kimmel's earnest-yet-bemused confusion over the recent news that he will host and exec produce ABC's Sept. 20 Primetime Emmys telecast has inspired speculation.
Neither the network nor leadership at the Television Academy is said to be likely to agree to commit to specifics until the Emmys are closer. But even as lifting state and city regulations make it possible for some California productions to resume, the persistence of COVID-19 — see L.A. County's latest grim infection statistics, a record 2,571 new cases on June 22 alone — renders the suggestion of gathering people for any kind of celebration rather moot.
Like many of the remotely produced specials that have aired since March, the BET Awards have the benefit of leaning on performance — something the TV-focused Emmys don't have the luxury of highlighting beyond the occasional musical skit. Several producers cited the lack of songs as the Emmys' biggest obstacle, one noting that the precedent for any virtual version already aired in April.
