| O&A Board Veteran Registered: Sep. 00  | LOS ANGELES (Reuters) - The presentation of the Emmy awards, television's equivalent of the Oscars (news - web sites), was canceled on Sunday because of the U.S. air attacks on Afghanistan (news - web sites) earlier in the day, a CBS spokeswoman said. The awards were originally scheduled for presentation in a three-hour nationally televised program on Sept. 16, but were delayed by three weeks because of national mourning for those killed and injured in the aerial assaults on the World Trade Center and the Pentagon (news - web sites) five days earlier. A CBS spokeswoman, Susan Marks, said, ``The event is canceled.'' The awards program had been scheduled to be televised from 8 to 11 p.m. EDT on CBS.

| Psychopath Registered: Jun. 01 | Nice, George Bush kicks some Taliban ass AND stops some "Cringe TV" all in one fell swoop. I can only imagine the nightmare that we would see of all the acceptance speeches: "I would like to dedicate my award for best guest appearance in a mini-series or variety show to those brave men and women who put their lives on the line, which is why I am donating my award to the NYFD..." Blah blah blah. It would have just been that typical masturbatory empty Hollywood claptrap that no one is in the mood for right now. They should have cancelled it earlier, even before our strikes at Afghanistan.  Thank you to all the brave volunteers who brought us all together as a country, and thank you to those of you brave soldiers who will fight and have fought for our country. We are a free people because of your efforts. | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | I know the official reason is because they didn't feel it was appropiate, but I can't help but feel that fear played a major factor, especially since it was gonna be a bi-costal event because some nominees were concerned about flying. No wonder or enemies think we're cowards and weak. They're wrong, of course, but perception is everything. The show must go on, as must we all! Here's hoping they find the courage to do so!!

| Hanger-On Registered: Jan. 70 | Well the flying part is not a concern since they agreed to simulcast the event from LA and NY so people wouldnt have to fly. My guess is ratings was a worry with people more interested in watching the news than the emmy's. Plus who cares about the emmy's as long as the sopranos wins does anyone care about who wins for best cameo apperance in a commercial which aired on a tuesday night during the peak hours people take a shit category?

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | Well the flying part is not a concern since they agreed to simulcast the event from LA and NY so people wouldnt have to fly. That was my point, the reason why it was gonna be simulcast was because many of the celebrities were afraid to fly, which is why I think fear may have played a part in today's decision. They've already shown themselves to be overly fearful (in my opinion, anyway). Plus who cares about the emmy's as long as the sopranos wins does anyone care about who wins for best cameo apperance in a commercial which aired on a tuesday night during the peak hours people take a shit category? I bet the fine folks at Office Depot do. Rumor has it they were a shoo-in ;) | ||||

| Psychopath Registered: Oct. 00 | I prefer the Fed ex commercial with the board meeting. I actually like that one, too. Also really dig the one with the brunette for the Gap's hip-huggers-jeans. Which reminds me of the blonde from the swing dancing Gap khaki commercial of a few years ago. O'kay, so maybe I have some issues! | ||||
