The Emmys Will Be Handed Out By Presenters In Hazmat Tuxedo Suits
Basically, this year has been an exercise in just keeping it together. Most of us have spent the last six months lying on the couch, pants-less, with Cheetos in our hair. So, for anybody hoping to catch a glimpse of some much-needed GLAMOUR from our biggest TV stars, you are probably out of luck because this year’s all-virtual Emmy Awards––slated to be, as host Jimmy Kimmel describes, like no other––is going to feature presenters in full-blown hazmat suits. Naomi Campbell’s influence continues!
The 2020 Primetime Emmy Nominations Were Announced Virtually This Morning
Even though COVID-19 will have actors and actresses accepting awards at home in their pajamas for the unforseeable future (Joan Crawford, quarantine vanguard!), said actors and actresses still deserve the time-honored Hollywood tradition of competing for awards. But while the movie industry is sort of standing around looking confused as hell as to when their awards ceremonies will happen, the television industry is extremely confident they’re happening as previously scheduled, and they announced the nominees for the 72nd Primetime Emmys this morning. But of course, because we’re still dealing with quarantine, the nomination presentation had to happen in what looks like a very expensive Zoom upgrade called Room by Zoom.
