Yesterday was the last day to vote on one of the main categories for the 2014 Emmy Awards. Today we have an extra Emmy poll in which you can vote for a change in the Emmy system.
As you all know, cable shows have made a rapid growth in the amount of Emmy nominations at the expense of broadcast shows. This has led to various broadcast shows/actors/actresses being snubbed at the Emmys this year, most notably (among others) The Good Wife, James Spader, Bellamy Young, Mads Mikkelsen, Hugh Dancy, Johnny Galecki and Mindy Kaling.
As a result of that, people are calling for a change in the Emmy system. One of the ideas is to split the Emmy categories for cable and for broadcast. So instead of e.g. The Good Wife being nominated in the category Outstanding Drama Series, it would be nominated in the category Outstanding Broadcast Drama Series (or something like that). Similarly, James Spader could be nominated in Outstanding Lead Actor in a Broadcast Drama Series.
So here's the poll: should the Emmy system indeed split the categories? And if they do so, should they only do this for outstanding drama/comedy series or for all categories (lead acting, supporting acting, guest acting, writing, directing etc.)? Also, should they change it as soon as possible or do they have to wait a few years?
Vote in the poll below and let us know what you think in the comments. If you have any alternative solutions to the problem, feel free to sound off in the comments as well.
