Yesterday night, during a TV commercial show interrupted by the Emmy Awards, the U.S. Academy of Television Arts & Sciences presented its statuettes to the largely expected winners.
What was unexpected and original was the method the Academy devised to keep the often boring acknowledgement speeches short: money for a charity donation would be deducted for any speech longer than 45 seconds, while additional funds would be added for shorter speeches.
The Emmys, hosted by Nate Bargatze, were broadcast live from the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles on CBS. The telecast featured awards in 26 Emmy categories, in addition, Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen were honored with the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award.
