A lot of headlines have been generated today about Kathy Griffin’s acceptance speech for the Emmy she won this past weekend. Apparently she had some off-color comments about Jesus in that speech.
The headlines have focused on E’s decision to edit out that part of her acceptance speech when it airs on their network this weekend.
None of these media outlets have brought up the most pertinent question of all: What is Kathy Griffin doing winning an Emmy?
What is the criteria for winning one of these awards anyway?
It reminds me of the furor back in the day when people were claiming that Milli Vanilli should return their Grammy’s when it came to light that they were just lip synching. I maintained then, as I do now, that Rob and Fab should have kept the awards.
The point to me was that any organization that is going to award such a talentless act is one that has no shred of credibility in the first place. Where does the greater fault lie? Milli Vanilli for being fake or the Grammys for not being able to find an act to laud that was in possession of some modicum of talent?
Sorry, I don’t know where this post came from.
