| This issue highlights the difference between the Tonys and the Oscars. When people win an Oscar, they say that it is meaningful because they are recognized by their peers. There is an actors' branch, a cinematographers' branch, etc. Similar setup for the Grammys - to be eligible to vote, you have to have been involved in a certain number of commercially available recordings in any of a number of different capacities. But the Tonys are basically voted on and run by the producers. There are others in small numbers in the voting mix, but the award is more like film's Producers Guild Award than the Oscars. It's not really a peer award. So it is inevitable that it is set up to the benefit of the producers. They are the ones running the show, not the theater community as a whole. ( I don't know how you qualify to vote on the Emmys. Is it more like the Oscars or the Tonys?) |

| The Emmys are more like the Oscars, except I feel like they're even more of a peer award. In the Oscars, the various disciplines (acting, writing, sound, etc.) vote in the nominations round, but the full membership can vote in most categories in the vote for the actual awards. At the Emmys, both the nominations and final voting rounds are discipline-based. Other than the program awards (Comedy Series, Drama Series, Variety Series, etc.), where all members can vote. | |

| A bigger difference to me is that a movie, once released, is out there, somewhere for everyone to see. There isn't a small window for marketing, as there is for the Tonys, where eligible titles may already be gone forever, and right now, there's nothing to market. | |
