The Creative Arts Emmy Wins Worth Paying Attention To
Justice for “I’m Just Ken” at the Oscars after all?
The shows include Shōgun(Hiroo Minami, Nobuyuki Obikane, Martin Cochingco, and Johnson Phan); Fallout(Justice Hedenberg, Hannah Scott, Adam Shippey, and Noelle Mulligan); The Righteous Gemstones(Ryan Disharoon, Mike Endoso, Jett Jansen Fernandez, and Rich King); The Continental(Jay Hawkins, Jerry Quill, and Ivy Haralson); and Mr. & Mrs. Smith, where the sole nominee is Tara Macken. In this case, Emmy electors will have to weigh their inclination to reward star power — as in the Uber One commercial/short film where Asa Butterfield befriends Robert De Niro, or the State Farm commercial where Arnold Schwarzenegger can’t say the phrase “like a good neighbor” correctly or the ad where Michael Cera pretends he’s the namesake for skin lotion CeraVe — versus the deep sentimentality of Apple’s George Harrison-scored animated holiday tale. Then there’s the kind of voter who tries to award the most important subject matter, in which case watch out for the ad for gun violence-prevention organization Sandy Hook Promise, which gathers a bunch of comedians like Billy Eichner, Wanda Sykes, and Margaret Cho to read excerpts from school-shooter social media posts to make the point that we shouldn’t assume threats like that are jokes.
