Let me clarify my statement:
I feel like there was a time that the Emmy Award carried with it a certain prestige. It was the television equivalent to the Oscar -- the closest thing the television medium had to it, anyways. I think perhaps the Golden Globes has taken that away from them, and I think the prestige value has fallen. Fallen quite a lot, actually.
I tried to use the Samberg video to that point out. Personally, I think "Dick in the Box" was hilarious. I hope to see more things on TV like the SP WoW episode and "Dick in the Box". I guess I am still somewhat old school when it comes to awards like the Emmys, though.
I'm trying to imagine Spike Lee standing there trying to feel proud for winning hs Emmy for "When The Levees Broke", and then Andy Samberg walks by...
I was impressed with the Emmy, until I saw this morning that Andy Samberg and Justin Timberlake's "Dick in a Box" won an Emmy last night, too.
Makes you wonder just how low the standards for winning an Emmy are, after all. Or how sorry the competition was...
