Modest proposal: If you are a producer who doesn't like awards shows, do not produce one. If you are a host who doesn't like awards shows, do not host one. If you are a television viewer who doesn't like watching awards shows, do not watch one.

this explanation for bargatze's emmys bit is ... my mind honestly boggled

Bargatze said the bit originated after CBS asked him to come up with a way to keep the acceptance speeches short. He said CBS was “very happy” with the idea, as was “everyone at home.” He acknowledged that many of the critics didn’t feel the same way. He also didn’t assume that he would be the one on the hook to donate the money. “I wasn’t trying to overshadow any of their speeches,” Bargatze said. “I thought it was gonna be, I don’t know, Netflix donating, or Apple. The shows that won! It’s not like I expected that kid [Owen Cooper] to give money, which I covered for that kid. But I kind of thought that’s what would happen. In my head I pictured it as they could then go long, but then be a hero. So it was like a win-win. And then the night becomes about love and you’re giving to these kids that are there and all this kind of stuff. I don’t know if I just didn’t explain it enough in the room.”

Do you think the people who produce NFL football (that's what it's called, right?) go into the telecasts moaning "ugggghhh this is sooo loooonnng, whhyyyy?" They do not! But hating and resenting awards shows even when you work on them is some weird form of heterosexual self-credentialing.

The mental health benefits of not knowing any history right now must be massive. Moving through your day with total equanimity. What happens next? Who knows? Maybe something good

Rewatching NOPE. Masterpiece, man. The Gordy stuff isn't just tragic, it's one of those things that gestures at some great black hole at the center of things i don't have an answer for
