TV Academy should look at Golden Globes' TV nominations as an example of what not to do with the Emmys
-
"Ridiculous, scattershot, influence-free and pointless." That's how the Golden Globe TV nominations are like every year, says Tim Goodman. The TV Academy should look at the Globes' nominations as an opportunity to "own television, because they were created to celebrate television and television only," he says. The Globes, on the other hand, "don't really care about television." He adds: "If I were someone at the Television Academy, the lesson I would take from the Globes' television nominations is not 'Oh, my God. Those idiots!' It would be this: 'Oh, my God. We have to do everything in our power not to be those idiots.' And the only way to do that is something I hammer home at every opportunity (and yes, today is another excellent opportunity): by expanding every single Emmy category to 10 nominees. The level of simplicity here should not be lost on anyone. This is an easy fix. It's a justifiable fix given the glut of the Peak TV era. And there are zero credible reasons not to do it."
