I’ve never been a fan of awards shows. Whether the Emmys, Oscars, or Grammys, I’ve never found myself tuning in. Maybe it’s because I’m a guy. I say that because I found that the audience for these televised awards shows is predominantly women. I’ve even heard the Oscars referred to as the Super Bowl for women.
So, you say to yourself, there are other awards shows, perhaps more suited to the male psyche, like the Heisman Trophy or Major League Baseball’s MVPs. Granted, these awards shows are televised, but not with the same fanfare as the “Hollywood” awards shows I mentioned earlier. I think the closest I have come in the past is watching the NFL Draft (a sort of awards show, if you will).
