Emmy Awards Celebrate Television’s Past Despite Changing Landscape

Monday, 23 September 2013 | by Pat's Picks

Alessandra Stanley of The New York Times takes a look at last night’s Emmy Awards. Stanley points out that while host Neil Patrick Harris joked about the irrelevance of traditional television in the area of streaming internet and on-demand cable, the Emmy producers chose to virtually ignore innovations in the field. Instead the show featured several references to broadcast television’s past. Stanley wonders why there were so many song and dance routines that had nothing to do with the Emmys.
