I'm sure viewers left in droves during that awful opening dance number.

The entire show seemed cheap and tacky; sadly, it was cringeworthy.

With SO MANY streaming shows and also actors who I have little to no idea who they are, my interest level was zero. Didn’t watch for the first time.

I think one thing that article forgot to mention is last year's ceremony was on Sunday following a football game.

So even though it's down, it's not an apples to apples comparison.

I have never been a conspiracy theorist but the one conspiracy theory I believe 100% is that Emmy voters don’t actually watch any of the tv shows they are voting on.  They recognized a name or the network and get free merch (and since the wealthier networks spend more money to advertise they are more known and probably have better merch) and THAT is the show/actor they vote for.
