I started to watch the Emmy Awards also, and I didn’t really care for it. I turned it off and started to watch The Grand Hotel. I really liked your crossword puzzle!! I never thought to do that, it really is a great idea!!!

Great post professor! Even though it was unfortunate that such a reputable award show had lack luster reviews, I'm glad to see that a positive outcome was in your favor with Chernobyl. I thoroughly enjoyed looking through your post as it showed a very nice breakdown of each of the sections we must touch on through our blogs. I will definitely be referring back to this piece in the future, as well as reading through the rest of your posts. Thanks!
I watched the entire show hoping it would get better but unfortunately it never did! I hope they have a host next year. I also hope that some of my favorite shows, such as This Is Us and Grey's Anatomy get nominated and win next year!
