People are starting to tune out awards shows like the Emmys because they have become so politicized, White House aide Kellyanne Conway said Monday.

"It’s — between the Emmys, the Miss America pageant was very politicized. Our sports are very politicized," Conway said on Fox News.

"And it looks like the ratings are suffering. It looks like America is responding by tuning out, because they want you to stick to your knitting," she continued.

"They want you to, I guess, in this case, read the stuff other people write for you. And so they are welcome to their opinion, but how does it really fit?"

Conway said those attending the awards "got plucked and polished and waxed, and some of them didn’t eat for two months."

"And all for what?" she asked. "To sound the same?"

The Emmys on Sunday evening were laden with references to President Trump, as various stars took jabs at the president.

Host Stephen Colbert kicked off the night with a monologue in which he jokingly blamed the academy for Trump's election and suggested if he had won an award for "The Apprentice" he might never have left television.

"Why didn’t you give him an Emmy? If he had won an Emmy, I bet he wouldn’t have run for president. In a way, this is all your fault," he said.

Former White House press secretary Sean Spicer also made an appearance at the awards show, where he joked about crowd size.

Alec Baldwin, who played Trump on "Saturday Night Live," poked fun at the president, saying: "At long last, Mr. President, here is your Emmy."
