Prepare to rend your garments and give your teeth a gnashin’, faithful Newswire readers: The Emmys done fucked it up again. Because while T he Academy Of Television Arts And Sciences ’ voters might have a soft spot for rat-killing pickle men, they don’t seem to have understood the complicated, densely woven narrative structure of The Good Place writer Megan Amram’s recent documentary web series, An Emmy For Megan. I .e., give Megan a goddamn Emmy, please .


And yet. And yet. That is somehow not what happened at the Creative Arts Emmys this evening, with Amram not only losing for Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series—the entire point of this whole apparently doomed endeavor—but also as a producer for an Outstanding Short Form Comedy or Drama Series. (Also for An Emmy For Megan.)


But never fear, AEFM fans: This is not the ending of a glorious, certain-to-win-an-Emmy-but-then-it-didn’t sprint. This is a marathon.

Cue the ominous music, Megan, if you please:
