Emmys Come and Go

Then there were the Creative Arts Emmys, where Queer Eye won its seventh award for Outstanding Structured Reality Program.  What makes it more impressive is that the show has only been on for nine seasons.  The one time it lost was last year, when Shark Tank snagged the award – and, let’s face it…Antoni is no Barbara Corcoran!  Those of you who got more than 200 in your math SATs are probably thinking, “But Billy – it’s been on for nine seasons.  You say it won seven Emmys and lost only once.  How is that possible?”  Well, seasons two and three both ran in 2018 (winter and summer) – so that year’s win was for two seasons.  The more you know…

As to the primetime Emmys, they just wrapped up moments before this was published.  So, in lieu of an Ask Billy question, let us mention a few highlights.  First, it must have been pretty steamy in that theatre – every forehead was glistening – unless there’s some topical Botox I’m unaware of!  It’s always a bad sign when the least recognizable person in the room is the host.  And, sure, I expected Michael Urie to get into The Golden Girls tribute.  But Colin Farrell?  Who knew?  Polly Holliday was snubbed from the In Memoriam segment, even though Linda Lavin was given a place of prominence.  I’m sure by the time you read this, we’ll find out who those kids were walking the winners off stage.  I’m assuming they have something to do with the Boy and Girl Scouts – either that or someone was casting a Benetton commercial (assuming Benetton still exists).

When I’m looking to score a box of Thin Mints, we’ve definitely come to the end of yet another column.  What more could you ask for?  Misbehaving moguls, weight loss, plastic surgery, and breaking news.  Why, it’s like 60 Minutes – without that pesky stopwatch!  While I enjoy my cookies, you can check out www.BillyMasters.com – the site that is a favorite of many Emmy presenters (we’re very discreet).  If you want to discuss anything with me, send an e-mail to Billy@BillyMasters.com and I promise to get back to you before Tyler Perry reveals he’s microdosing.  Until next time, remember, one man’s filth is another man’s bible.
