The nominees for The 37th Annual Suncoast Emmy Awards are out and there are thirty-nine pages worth of entries to read trough, but if you prefer to keep score of the overall nominations I broke them down by station below.
Three South Florida stations swept up most of the nominations. America Teve has 29, followed by WSCV with 24, and WPTV with 20 nominations – the most of any English-language station.

And if you want to peruse the nominee list here it is
These nominations – while I’m sure they make the people involved feel really good – are a joke. Pretty much anyone who submits something (and pays the requisite submission fee) gets nominated…
i often wondered if this Emmy thing was a joke.
What’s a joke is they nominate a million people so they can sell tickets, pack the house and make money. In the end though, only 20-30 percent win.
Michele Gillen nominated for FOR’s AM show? Now that’s a joke
Too bad they don’t have their version of the Razzie awards for some of the most outrageous and unprofessional conduct behavior for some of these news teams and reporters. Ha. They would not have room for all the nominations.
We can have our own version here, create the categories and make our own nominations. Then everyone can vote on the winners.
lets do it then !!!!!
create categories and have someone from each of the local stations from each station
Hey great idea, let’s make me even more hated than I already am 🙂
I’ve contemplated doing something like this during sweeps but haven’t figured out the logistics yet
Local Emmy awards.
A complete scam.
Overpriced and, in the end, mean absolutely nothing.
We can all name dozens of Emmy winners who were bounced out of their jobs and winning this award is just a pyramid scheme designed to empty people’s pockets for the chance to have a worthless trophy gather dust as they empty their desks with security watching their every move before they are escorted from the building.
Worse…are those who crow about being Emmy winners thinking local Emmy’s carry anything close to the REAL Emmy awards won at a national level.
Small market wanna-be’s who will always remain right where they deserve to be. They might as well go out and buy a box of Cracker Jack, dig out the prize and celebrate “winning”. That prize carries the same amount of honor and job security as any local Emmy award.
But this won’t stop quite a few from puffing out their chests, acting like they’ve accomplished something. All that’s been accomplished is they’ve been once again scammed by their local Emmy chapter into emptying their pockets for something which has no real value on any level.
