Now that we’ve seen another round of Emmy Awards go just to cable TV and streaming, and the Emmys get their lowest ratings yet, here’s the big question: what if the Emmys were really for shows on television, from broadcast networks? What shows would have won? Which actors? Because this begs the question, how could Linda Hunt have been on TV for so long and not gotten an Emmy? Because “NCIS: LA” is on a network and not HBO?
I’ve left out mini series and movies of the week because I can’t think of any on network TV.
Here are my ideas. You tell me at showbiz411@gmail.com what your choices would have been. Maybe people would watch the Emmys with these winners.
