Since I’m waiting for “Curb Your Enthusiasm,” I did turn to the moronic People’s Choice Awards.
This is a publicists’ showcase, negotiated by them and the studios. Voters may be in strait jackets when ballots are presented in the best sanitariums.
So who won Best TV Performance of the Year? Why, singer Billie Eilish, of course, LOL Come on. She wasn’t even nominated for Best Song! She’s on track win an Oscar for “What Was I Made For.” But the People’s Choice didn’t even include her for singing!
Who did Billie beat? I mean, besides Meryl Streep?
Adjoa Andoh, Queen Charlotte: A Bridgerton Story
Ayo Edebiri, The Bear
Billie Eilish, Swarm — WINNER
Jon Hamm, The Morning Show
Matt Bomer, Fellow Travelers
Meryl Streep, Only Murders in the Building
Steven Yeun, Beef
Storm Reid, The Last of Us
All of these accomplished, award winning actors lost the Best TV Performance of the Year to a non actress who is, of course, a singing superstar. What were the chances?
And none of the other nominees were present! What a coincidence!
That this goes on from year to year, a total sham, is miraculous. Even better, that someone really young, who needs no money or promotion, was happy to play along. Insane!
