New Emmy Attire: Camouflage?
That's apparently one idea making the rounds following Sunday's second cancellation of the 53rd Annual Prime-Time Emmy Awards. Despite early talk of scaling back or eliminating the ceremony, Emmy organizers are reportedly plotting a third attempt, with one option being to hold the show at a California military base.
The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences is reportedly contemplating plans to reschedule CBS' Emmycast for November sweeps, but one major sticking point has been finding an auditorium that's not already booked.
According to the Associated Press, it's unlikely the show will be restaged at the original location, the Shrine Auditorium. Another option was the old home of the Emmys, the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, but there were worries that its 3,000-seat capacity wouldn't be big enough. Other ideas have included taping a low-key ceremony and airing it later, or holding the show at a smaller venue, like a hotel ballroom.
Then there's the latest idea, which could even turn the Emmys into a USO-style show to entertain the troops.
A final plan could be announced as early as Thursday, after the TV Academy's executive committee meets.
Whatever happens, the latest reports seem to indicate CBS and the TV Academy aren't ready to throw in the towel when it comes to a full-scale awards show.
"I'm most impressed that they're wanting to go on with a full show because the buzz immediately after the Emmys was they were going to scale it back radically," says Tom O'Neil, E!'s Emmy expert and host of awards-show site GoldDerby.com. "[CBS chief] Les Moonves seems passionate about going on with a big Emmy show."
After originally getting postponed from September 16, the second Emmy show was called off Sunday following U.S. and British military strikes in Afghanistan. Academy Chairman Bryce Zabel said the postponement would likely cost "millions of dollars" (the Emmycast is the biggest source of income for the TV Academy). And CBS has a few million reasons to reschedule: The network has forked over $3 million to air the Emmy Awards, and it also faces lost advertising revenue if the show never runs.
Meanwhile, Industry types have mixed emotions about whether the Emmys should go on.
"I don't think they should do the show," NYPD Blue creator Steven Bochco tells the New York Post. "At this stage of the game, having canceled it twice already, and with things in such flux, it just seems like you're chasing your tail a little bit."
NBC Entertainment president Jeff Zucker agreed. "I think they should just announce the winners in some kind of gathering at the academy or in a press release and forgo any show this year," he told USA Today. "The time has come and gone, and it would just be more appropriate to acknowledge the winners in a low-key fashion."
But others said there's still room for some type of ceremony. "I don't think we should disregard the awards," NYPD Blue star Dennis Franz tells the paper. "It's just that the party atmosphere of it is a hard one for a lot of people to get into."
