The Emmys

In case you missed the 77th annual Emmy Awards Sunday, the following list includes some of the recipients. However, first do you know what its title is for?

Consider it as a misspelling for “Immy.” That is a word that is merely a short way of saying “image orthicon tube” which was a mechanism in television cameras.

But “Immy” also now refers to the female statuette handed out to the winners for excellence in the arts and science of the television industry from acting and directing to the technical aspects. ATAS (Academy of Television Arts and Science)

(We refer to the awards here as the “Emmies” because most  TV watchers know the show and statue by that name.)

Netflix’s Adolescence picked up six awards that included one for 15-year-old Owen Cooper for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Limited Series or Movie.

If you noted that Severance was oft repeated it’s because the Apple TV+ show had 27 nominations. Of those it receives two awards. They went to actors Britt Lower and Tramell Tillman. But the show also picked up five honors during last weekend’s Creative Emmys.

HBO’s The Pitt did well winning Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama for ER alum Noah Wyle and Outstanding Drama Series.

In addition, two months after CBS canceled long-running “Late Show with Stephen Colbert (was that from pressure from the Washington?) the awards show recognized Colbert with a standing ovation and an Emmy.
