Glee Stars 150x150 Should The Emmys Be Divided Into Two Shows?With the culmination of this years Emmys, ideas are raging about how the show should continue into the future. The big networks, ABC,NBC,CBS and FOX, who take turns hosting the Emmys, no longer produce long form movies and are considering moving them to a separate awards show.

At the moment each of the big networks pays a $7.5 million fee to host the awards when it is their turn. They are considering allowing other smaller networks on cable or pay TV to take a turn in hosting the show and splitting the awards ceremony into two different shows.

There is strong competition among the broadcast networks to win awards in each category. However they no longer compete for the movie of the week, long-form and miniseries programs which they have handed over to smaller networks such as HBO. It’s no wonder the larger networks would rather spilt the show in two rather than host awards that they no longer compete in.

It would be a shame to see the Emmys split as many celebrities such as Al Pacino and Patrick Stewart attend just for the movie or miniseries programs.
