I have to say that I have a love hate relationship with awards shows like the Emmys or the Grammys. I definitely support that we should honor the hard work that the people in the entertainment industry put into what they do. However this comes with a caveat, that we shouldn't be idolizing these people to point of royalty, but rather respecting their artistic accomplishments.
I think that this is a large issue in America. We broke free of a monarchy to denounce the system of government for breeding a royal elite. In some ways, the celebrities of the Emmys are viewed as royalty, we buy products they endorse and we geek out over their every action and interaction with each other. How often do you see someone in Hollywood dating someone from outside that community, almost as often as you'd see a member of the British Royal family marry outside the family.
At the end of the day, they are just people, no different than you and I.
