I like award shows. They're very interesting. I think it's intriguing to see the way people vote each year. Usually it's all the same people being nominated over and over, but for the Emmys this year, there have been some big changes. Yes, the old standards are nominated (and some of them will win), but the amount of newbies is fantastic.
I'm especially happy for the cast of Modern Family. While it's not breaking any boundaries, it is opening up the general viewing public to a new meaning of family. It's not just all about the Brady Bunch anymore. There are families that come in different packaging, yet are just as close as any others.
From a time when a husband and wife didn't even sleep in the same bed on tv, the industry is finally showing some progress, although it's been at a glacial pace. I hope it keeps moving in the right direction.
