There was a time when winning and Emmy was a big deal. But now, the awards are so watered down with categories, it has become a participation trophy.

By having so many categories, the entry fees alone make the Emmy’s millions of dollars.

Look at some of the categories in which they hand out an award to.

A newscast is a newscast, whether it’s done on a Monday, Thursday, or the weekend. We have a seperate award for just weekend news?

What the hell is that?

Is this an award for the most live boxes you put up?

Couldn’t this pertain to almost every story?

That’s a category?

An Emmy for a commercial?

WTF?

Hundreds of these awards were handed out over the weekend at the NATAS Central Great Lakes Chapter.

The big winner was the NATAS Central Great Lakes Chapter, which brought in enough money to make a politician green with envy.
