Emmy Disscussion

[Emma]

The Emmys aren't a true measure of talent. Just looking at the gaps between this and last years nominees shows how the Emmys only real purpose is to give new shows some recognition and pay respect to older series who are either very popular or are coming to a close.

The Simpsons has been running for, geez I don't even know how long, and is highly respected among both critical circles and the general public. Not to mention, it's recent decline in quality most likely spells out the end of the series at some point in the near future. The award wasn't for the superiority of the, The Simpsons' nominated episode over all the others. It was for the legacy of The Simpsons as a whole.

Foster's will have it's day, eventually. We'll just have to be patient. For now, it's still a huge honor to be nominated in it's first year.
