Full story at _[Broadcasting & Cable](http://www.broadcastingcable.com/article/456375-Emmys_To_Stream_Live_Backstage_Show.php)_ So does anyone care about this? I guess some people must think it’s a good idea. I just don’t care much for award shows. ---

I won’t be watching the Emmys, period. If I was in the entertainment biz, I imagine that I’d go for the full speeches, but I’m not, so I won’t even subject myself to the broadcast version on TV. ---

If I were an award recipient, I’d feel really strange saying my thank-you speech, walking off the stage to applause, then down some stairs to a camera, where I was expected to talk into it and say _even more_ thank-yous. Does anyone else think this would be weird? “HURRAY I JUST WON AN EMMY” “Congratulations **multimediac17** on your win! Any MORE people you’d like to thank, after you’ve had ample time to thank them not five seconds ago, where people were actually watching and caring?” “Er… _awkward stare into the camera_” ---

I’ll most likely record the Emmy’s so I can fast forward to what I want to see. If Julie Bowen were to win for “Modern Family”, I would look at the online longer speech if I could select just her speech. If I have to go thru the whole thing, the answer is no. ---

I don’t watch the Emmys at all, so I won’t be watching this… but I confess that if they did it for the Oscars, I _might_ tune in. The Oscar ceremony has been such a mess the last few years, though…
