The rule of thumb regarding the Emmys
seems to be “give as many awards as possible
in three hours.” This year had to be a record
with 88 Emmys being handed out. It would
have been easier if they had the audience get
in line and receive an Emmy, kind of like Com
munion at church. But then Ellen DeGeneres
would have been excommunicated by the
Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
The big winners, however, had an element
of surprise, as well as a certain amount of mo
notony, as repeat winners walked up the steps
and accepted the ugliest awards, next to the
American Music Awards which always in
vokes flashbacks of high school geometry.
The biggest surprise of the evening came
at the end. The winner for Best Drama Series
was “Law and Order.”
I have been hooked on this series ever since
the A&E network put the show on in reruns.
“Law and Order” doesn’t mess around with
the sticky situations of office romances or
botched surgeries. It is about good cops and
lawyers with actual morals — there’s a novelty.
The perpetually boring “Frasier” once
again won Best Comedy Series. The premise
itself is boring. Two snobby brothers making
Shakespeare jokes while tormenting their
crippled father and a small Jack Russell terri
er. Oh yeah.
The only other “Cheers” spinoff that could
have been more boring would be “Cliff
Claven: II Postino,” but not by much.
I will have to give a definite Wayne’s World
“schwing” to Kim Delaney, of the vertigo-in
spired “NYPD Blue.” Her dress kept my atten
tion long after her acceptance speech for Best
Supporting Actress in a Drama Series. I would
also like to thank the Emmys organizers for
placing the curvaceous Delaney and her bra-
less dress in the front row.

While watching the show, I have deter
mined there was a tie for Most Bizarre Accep
tance of an Award.
The first one has to go to “The X-Files’”
Gillian Anderson. It would have been prefer-
travesty was not even televised. “The Simp
sons” award for Best Animated Program(foi
programming one hour or less) went unrecc;
nized. Once again, the best show on televisi
has been slighted.
In retrospect, the Emmys weren’t all that
bad. It had its share of bad hairstyles (Alfre
Woodard’s blond Afro) and bad speechesdii
Lithgow’s recognition of his writers by last
