what does it mean when you win a chemistry award with someone you’re just friends with when most of your competitors are people who play each others’ love interests
one ridiculous thing i can’t get over about season two of the bear is the malört sign being replaced by an obnoxiously lit sign for stella artois.
i’m not from chicago (but i am from a place that keeps changing and changing and changing) but beyond The Beef morphing into The Bear, and that being yet another harbinger of gentrification—it’s just a bummer to see a local signifier swapped out for a (bigger, global) brand. don’t have an analysis beyond that, it just sucks. in the same way that it sucks to have your favourite sandwich spot relegated to some weird little window on the side of a new restaurant that probably charges more than $45 a plate!!!
Let’s circulate some facts around the Emmy selection process. Because as per usual, most of the fandom (specifically AAs) don’t get how it works.
To get on the ballot sheet, either the show or actor pays for the award submission. None of the entries across the categories were selected based on merit.
Kripke/Rogan and team …or the actors themselves can submit their entries for consideration (it’s widely done and accepted practice) by the April deadline. The fees to enter are around $300 to submit eligible work. Over 9000 entries are submitted each year across 127 categories.
During the window of June 15-26 those 9000+ entries get voted on my the 25,000 members of the TV Academy, that select the nominees that will be announced on July 12. Then those nominees get voted on and announced at the awards ceremony in September.
So it’s not a big deal or “win” that AAs think it is — since Jensen or Kripke just paid the $300 entry fee to be on the list for consideration.
That’s why Amazon/Kripke/Rogan team does the big promotional push, videos, events and panels to elevate the awareness of those submissions for those in the TV Academy to vote for them and get them on the short list of nominees (typically 8 per category).
I always wondered how that worked. Thank you for enlightening me and whoever else reads this! (Though probably not the AAs that should read this, lol.)
I thought the lists seemed pretty large so it makes sense that all it takes is an entry fee.
I'll definitely be interested to see if the team behind TB was able to make any grounds with their FYC campaign.
