    The technical Emmys are more an Achievement than an award...

    The technical Emmys are real, (just like the technical oscars(r)) because the "under the line" movie making part, time is money, therefore the production end of the movie/tv business only uses "gimmicks" if it make things faster. if it makes it the same, the quote "if it is not broken, don't fix it" applies.



    the "Emmys" for the Tv shows "above the line"... yes alot of lobbying.. (not sure if the writers are above the line, or below the line)
