Shocker: Television Community Ignores Worthy Nominees In Order To Vote Against Republicans
"Game Change" -- a thoroughly Television Movie of the Week sort of production, dim and weak -- won everything.
Beating worthy shows like Sherlock (which is as sophisticated in its writing and direction as it comes). It also beat out "Hatfields & McCoys," which was actually viewed by six times as many people, but apparently not the right people.
Because, at the end of the day, they voted for the shows they actually watched, and being liberal, they all watched Game Change. And as usual, they voted for the affirmation of their politics, not for the art itself.
Oh: The Emmys' ratings slid again, and it got beat by an early-season game.
