I guess that's why they have three different nights of award-giving now. Yikes! I've seen some people calling for Julia L-D to take herself out of contention, like Jim Parsons, Candice Bergen and John Larroquette before her. Meanwhile, when will Ed Asner or MTM get a good enough role to get another Emmy? I would love to see that. Trivia note: Ed Asner won won as the slaveship captain in the first ROOTS and the second ROOTS got some nominations this year, but the role he played wasn't there. I remember hearing that the network thought that the first ROOTS needed to have somebody recognizable (and white) show up right off the bat to keep viewers there. I guess we're past that and they didn't need an Ed Asner for the second one. That sound good to me, but this year's ROOTS also didn't get all the Emmy nominations and wins the first one did. I guess it was swamped by The People v. OJ like everybody else.JulieKhttps://www.blogger.com/profile/12521424567356348282noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6816366806127608207.post-47344673524042172992016-09-19T20:26:27.683-05:002016-09-19T20:26:27.683-05:00Great provision of information, Julie!
