Emmys: Broadcast TV Airs Its Own Funeral As Netflix, HBO, Amazon and FX Dominate (hollywoodreporter.com)
At the 70th Emmy Awards, broadcast TV was almost shut out as Netflix and HBO battled each other. The Hollywood Reporter: This year, longtime Emmy nominations leader HBO was out-nominated by Netflix. Netflix then won the most Emmys on the main telecast, with seven noms to HBO's six. But earlier, HBO won one more award than Netflix at the Creative Arts Awards ceremonies, 17 to 16. So by the time the curtain came down on the 70th Emmy Awards, technically -- and sort of poetically -- Netflix and HBO had fought to a draw. Almost all of the major content providers left with several wins to celebrate.
[...] All in all, it was a terrible night for broadcast networks -- even as NBC aired the show and two stars of the network, Saturday Night Live's Michael Che and Colin Jost, hosted. SNL won the variety sketch award for the second year in a row, and ABC's The Oscars won for best direction of a variety show (that award's winner, Glenn Weiss, stole the night with his on-stage marriage proposal), but other than that, CBS, NBC, ABC, Fox and PBS had nothing -- nothing -- to show for their work of the past year. The times have certainly changed.

Is that like a Grammy?
Or Oscar or something?
To get those awards means you do something PC like, have an episode where the protagonist rescues a transgender Jewish puppy of color from the white guys who want to use it for cosmetic testing or something.
Just say'in. The movie "Crash" was such a Liberal trigger that as a liberal myself, I was like, "Oh Come on! Can you be anymore PC triggerish!!"
But it won awards.
It's just LA trying to pretend that what goes on there is important.
Almost as silly as network TV thinking it has a future.
I never did. Even when there was nothing else on t.v., and I am old enough to remember just 6 channels. Choice between the Emmy's and watching a spider crawl along the wall. I have always chosen the spider over the Emmy's, or what ever awards show.
Seriously, other then people hooked on T.V..(I am not), who watches this shit.
Anonymous comments are as pathetic as the anonymous "sources" that contaminate gutless journalism from the New York Time
Awards shows where awards shows win awards.
Nobody wants to watch TV/movie/music award shows anymore because they no longer focus on TV/movies/music. Instead it's a bunch of self-important celebrities whining that they don't like the President.

With higher risk, there is a chance for higher reward.
Broadcast companies have a high cost for a show failure.
1. The cost to make the show.
2. The opportunity cost of having people watch something else on that channel instead.
3. While the show is failing they will still normally need to broadcast for a few more weeks.
These cost prevents them from straying from the normal formula of what to show.
While sacrificing a new hit by reducing a huge flop.
Online companies, has the cost to make the show, but after it is made and posted to the servers it is easy money.
The people who like the show can watch it anytime. So even if it gritty they can watch it prime time, and not off hours where such people may be already asleep because they have to be at work in the morning. If people don't like it they won't watch it, and Streaming companies have real time reviews and can use such to fix the show, or cancel it, with the rest of the season available (and perhaps just wrap it up)
If something is so important that you feel the need to post it on the internet... It probably isn't that important.
I think he started doing Weekend Update right before I stopped watching SNL, has he gotten funny? Norm Macdonald can't even get 15 minutes to do comedy at midnight.
Do you know what publication received no Pulitzer's for their journalism and no Webby's for their online articles last year: The Hollywood Reporter.
Who's funeral is it now, suckers!
We need an award show that ranks other award shows.
Best Host at an Awards Show
Best Set Design...
Best Music...

"Nazi faggot congratulates fellow retarded nazi faggot for nazi faggot shit, Fox News at 11"
Oh and you sound like such a peach yourself...
Ratings were down another 10% this year
I have a TV antenna.
Just for grins I switched to broadcast TV a few weeks ago. For about 30 seconds.
Someone should put them out of my misery.
All Trump all the time. That is why no one watches.
Did it include a snobby Meryl Streep bitching about how everyone outside Hollywood sucks? :D
L'Idiot
The President was until about a year and change ago one of those self-important pseudocelebrities himself, also a Democrat and friend of the Clintons. Nobody can bear to watch him give a speech either, but he gets no awards lol.
From The Best and Worst Moments of the 2018 Emmys:
“Our network NBC has the most nominations of any broadcast network,” Mr. Che said. “Which is kind of like being the sexiest person on life support.”
It must have been something you assimilated. . . .
"Nazi faggot congratulates fellow retarded nazi faggot for nazi faggot shit, Fox News at 11"
"Nazi faggot congratulates fellow retarded nazi faggot for nazi faggot shit, Fox News at 11"
Not in this case. His wording was stupid but his theme was correct. It's even a joke: "Do a Holocaust themed movie and win an Oscar" or some other award. (Sorry for the Youtube link)
I am pretty Liberal, but seriously - I can take the conservatives' true criticisms. Unfortunately, many of my fellows cannot. And they ARE snowflakes.
I have grown up in competition. I relish it. And the Conservatives have kicked our asses. Touche!
It makes me better!!
I support his statement and will defend it.
Seriously, do you really have so much extra time on your hands that it's actually worth spending at least an hour every day of the week writing these really low effort troll posts? Because I'm pretty sure that I'm not the only one who feels sorry for you and the meaningless life you seem to live judging by how much of it you're spending on being bad at trolling.
"Why should I want to make anything up? Life's bad enough as it is without wanting to invent any more of it."
Broadcast versus streaming doesn't matter, the production companies and the actors and the crew are all the same. Plus we already see these sexy new streaming services trying to grow their brands into a legacy as big as the Big Three networks, ABC, CBS, and NBC. But without the national broadcaster / local affiliate model to provide long term stability, there is a lot more risk for Netflix or Amazon in terms of content production. If they spend too much money on a string of bad programs the audiences will go elsewhere, and that elsewhere includes the Big Three.
Isn't it odd how Kavanaugh the rapist looks exactly like his victim in drag, and vice versa?

Why do you defend worthless nazi faggots and eunuchs? They're going to hang anyway lol.
exclusively. Why pay for drivel when I can get it for free?

Do you actually think that post took an hour to write? Or that all anonymous Trump trolling is the same person? Most of the world hates Trump and the people who support him. Plenty of trolling to go around.
You can recognize Drinkypoo's incoherent rants. Not all of it is him, just most.

There's a way to ease this problem, though perhaps not eradicate it completely. The viewing public has proved definitively it wants programming which includes some NSFW content. I don't mean flat-out pornography (that's an argument for another time and place). I mean characters that curse and have sex occasionally without paying some price for their "sins", perhaps some nudity, realistic depictions of adult relationships...all that and more. The broadcast networks have been shut out of that incredibly huge market thanks to the squawking of religious nutbars who believe a character saying "fuck" at 11 pm on a talk show somehow endangers the moral well-being of the nation.
If the networks were allowed to air shows like "Breaking Bad", "Jessica Jones" or "Game of Thrones", I doubt very much whether they'd be getting out-competed by Netflix, HBO and Amazon. After all, a lot of broadcast channels are available for no more than the cost of an antenna (analog or digital). Instead, their licenses depend on adhering to so-called "community standards" that haven't really existed for decades. So you can't get shows like this at all, and even occasional expletives on shows like the Tonight Show are bleeped. So people look elsewhere for entertainment.
And guess who's created that situation. It's the same pack of self-righteous assholes who can't resist sticking their long, pointy noses into my life and telling me what a worthless sinner I am while they simultaneously excuse ugly, evil behaviour by any politician, police force or religious organization that promises to advance their political and cultural objectives.
I've calculated my velocity with such exquisite precision that I have no idea where I am.
I like your mom's peach!
The only people who watch broadcast nowadays are those who don't have cable or satellite. Or want to watch the local news. Viewership is really high on broadcast channels, relatively, but their content is low-effort crap. I haven't watched a broadcast show since Lost ended. They seem to be targeting people who can't afford cable or satellite, and thus know they can produce the cheapest content possible and don't need to compete with those services. Once the switch to ATSC 3.0 happens, and a new round of converter boxes are required (there's no planned subsidy for them, unlike the last time), lots of people are just going to drop broadcast entirely.
Another way of looking at it is that broadcast networks are like the Hallmark Channel: they're stuck in a morass of vapid family-friendly content, and can't do anything controversial, which is where all the awards are going.
Corruption is convincing someone that the selfless ideal is the same as their selfish ideal.
Content creators have gotten the message that the broadcast networks apparently haven't figured out yet, and have abandoned ship for on-demand services. We've seen this coming for a very long time.
Oliver's law of assumed responsibility: If you're seen fixing it, you will be blamed for breaking it.
Personally,, just between us chickens, I would like to see an awards show that is not based on the white hot hatred of men. One based on a television show being entertaining. One not based on Lecturing us with no humor at all, merely hate. One where every female winner is not announced with playing the old song "You don't own me"
So I have the same amount of intellectual interest in the Emmy's as a slutwalk, or that woman Milo Moiré, who invites people to fingerbang her in public as a strike against the patriarchy. https://www.cosmopolitan.com/s... Just insane people trying to tell us that their insanity is the best.
Which is why I consider third wave feminists merely the opposite side of the coin from Trump. Neither are sane. Then again, that's the state of television.
The shepherds did so well protecting the flock that the sheep no longer believed that wolves existed.
That'll be why Kevin Spacey treasures his awards then...
it's just that this seems to be a golden age of TV. ABC/CBS/NBC/Fox are cranking out some damned good shows at the moment. But HBO/Netflix/et all are making even better shows. "but but titties! and 7 words we can't say on TV!". Um, no. GoT isn't consistently winning because of a few pairs of nice hooters. It's winning because it fucking rocks. It takes chances, and they pay off.
Let's be honest, Martin has lost control of his child. HBO owns that fucker. Do you think pudgie georgie is going to take time off his "let's worship this guy" tours to actually finish the next book? I don't. He's gonna croak with a french fry in his throat, HBO will hire ghost writers to turn the scripts into books.
I can take the conservatives' true criticisms.
Get back to me when you actually find some "true criticism" from a conservative.
Odds are good it can be rebutted in three fact-filled sentences, resulting in a stream of hatred and profanity in return.
Will it be the same soon? :P

Liberals have shifting loyalties, dubious ethics that they only use when it suits them, and without the media support and propaganda, they would still be playing with themselves in mudpuddles.

Hey Anonymous Coward, how do you look at the current administration in Washington and write those words with a straight face? You couldn't have described Trump, Ryan and McConnell, their toadies and Fox news any better if you'd tried.
Awards are nice, but is broadcast TV still making money? If so, then is it increasing or decreasing? That's all that really matters.
Michael Bay hasn't won Best Director, but his movies make gobs of money . The MCU doesn't win any awards, but it also made more money than most small countries.
"I'm a humble person really,
I'm actually much greater than I think I am"
The Emmys are unfair to television networks. To be fair, the Emmys should award networks based on the content they actually deliver: commercials, not the stuff they put in to fill the space between commercials. The networks would clobber HBO and Netflix if only the award were not biased.
He doesn't just write a single "rant" every day, he writes at least one into the comments to practically every single new article and he's usually one of the first people in the comments.
"Why should I want to make anything up? Life's bad enough as it is without wanting to invent any more of it."
We've all enjoyed your mom's peach. While she was watching the emmys.
