Sneering, Cheering, and Jeering at the Emmys
Awards have an odd place in our culture. We dismiss their importance with rants about clueless Emmy or Oscar voters, but still revel in their cachet when our favourites earn the right to call themselves nominees or, better yet, winners....

no one is going to argue with me about the 4th class status of the Emmys, eh?

I'm just not a big awards show person. To me, award shows in general rank about 4th class behind talk shows, daytime shows, soap operas, and as far as uninteresting television.
Maybe I'll throw awards in front of soap operas, so let's call 'em third class.

I'll say the Emmys are 3rd. No one really cares about the Tonys except, y'know, theater nerds.
The caliber of stars who appear on the Tonys is way, way below the Emmys, which is in turn way below the Oscars. If you want to be accurate, I'd put the Golden Globes 3rd, before the Emmys.
That is all.

I don't usually watch them either, but the entertainment level of the Tonys -- the actuall performances -- is much higher than the Emmys: TV about TV.
