Like Schitt's Creek's unhinged queen Moira Rose, my favorite season of the year, by far, is "awards." The chaotic, self-congratulatory circus that dominates Hollywood and all its offshoots at the top of every year is jam-packed with all of my favorite things: thought-provoking films, binge-worthy television, moving musical performances, eye-catching designer fashions, and plenty of backstage drama. (See: the infamous Best Picture mix-up between La La Land and Moonlight, that explosive Will Smith-Chris Rock slap, among many others.) There was a change for the most recent season, however, and I need the Emmys to change right back.
Where the majority of awards show ceremonies take place in the first quarter of each year—the 2024 Golden Globes were held this January, with the Grammys to come in February, and the 96th annual Academy Awards to follow in March—there's always been one notable Hollywood exception: the Emmy Awards.
