Travon Free won an Academy Award during 'the COVID-19 Oscars,' so he understands what Emmy nominees are going through during a season disrupted by two strikes.
’s Young Mazino — find themselves in a very similar situation. Unable to go out and be celebrated for their incredible talent and hard work, to raise their profiles and continue making their way down the path to stardom — only this time courtesy of an intractable virus known as “AMPTP-23,” which has infected the global entertainment system.
Because AMPTP-23 is hard to stop and seems to be treatable only with self-inflicted poverty, it’s hard to say when, say, Dominique Fishback might be able to resurface to sling fun anecdotes about being afraid to piss off Beyoncé while being brilliant inor when Will Sharpe will come back to the spotlight to tell us how many takes he had to fight Theo James in the ocean in.
Another spoonful of unrelatable truth: The excitement of being nominated for an Oscar was a bit dampened by the fact that, due to COVID-19, there would be no Oscar Nominees Luncheon where I’d get to eat, hang out with and take a class photo with all my fellow nominees. And on the big night itself, there would be noafterparty to strut into while hopefully holding a little golden man.
This year’s hardworking and talented crop of new-on-the-scene Emmy nominees deserve their well-earned moment in the sun — and, unlike my COVID-restricted year, the barriers to their having this experience won’t kill Grandma if you take them home. Much like COVID-19, AMPTP-23 is a circumstance beyond our individual control.
