65th Emmy Awards: History-making, Predictions and more...

         Did you all watch the 65th annual Emmy awards last night? Well, if you were not aware by now, the Emmys is one of the most prestigious nights in our television industry as we honor and recognize the most prestigious works of all entertainment professionals in TV; from a television crew, screen actors, choreographers, producers, directors, designers, hosts, musicians and so much more. This past Sunday night, shows like Modern Family, Scandal, 30 Rock, Homeland, The Newsroom and Breaking Bad were honored for their great acting and crew work. Furthermore, 'House of Cards’, a digital streaming show starring Kevin Spacey and Robin Wrights, made history by winning an Emmy, particularly in directing, for the first time for Netflix, a growing and technologically advanced digital streaming service, which was surely a history defining moment for television.

         On the other hand, something that has been irritating me is the point how most individuals are not aware how the Emmy awards are won within nominations. This past Emmys season saw an uproar in some of the category wins, particularly in the acting sections. Here is the issue, most people assume that these awards are determined by an actor’s entire body of work, some assume it is determined by the entire season, but the truth is, winners are actually voted by the actor’s submitted episode of work (sometimes multiple episodes, but mostly one particular episode).

         Therefore, nominees are competing based on their work solely from one episode of their performance, which is hopefully an episode that displays their best performance of the nominating season, knowing this may help a lot of people realize why some actors have won in the recent years and beyond. To top it all off, its vital that everyone realizes that for every award show, most of it is based on a popularity vote, so just to even be considered a nominee is a grand accomplishment, whether its for acting, directing, writing, editing, hosting, designing, music composing, producing and etc. Well, if you did not know much about the Emmys before, hopefully you have somewhat of a better knowledge of what tends to happen during Emmy season now.
