I know a lot of procedurals have huge viewership, yet they're never nominated for awards.
Sentiment: NEGATIVE
Ultimately the Emmys are a popularity contest.
Except that awards are competitive, which is a negative thing, they are wonderful for singling out deserving individuals and bringing their work to the attention of many potential readers who might otherwise have been totally unaware of them.
Awards shows mainly publicize the people giving the awards.
I just have always felt that I think we know that it's an ensemble show, and it's very hard to pick a show to submit when you're nominated, because usually everyone has a very strong part in every episode.
Actually, no, because awards don't spark sales as much as you'd think.
I don't really care about awards.
Most awards, you know, they don't give you unless you go and get them - did you know that? Terribly discouraging.
Awards don't really mean much.
It hasn't been hard getting nominated, but winning it is another thing. The competition is tough.
To be honest, I didn't even know what the Drama Desk Awards were until I was nominated.
