Reply to comment by Volcano_Tequila in How much (or little) do you value the importance of awards shows like the Emmys? by unitedfan6191

On the flip side of awards nominations and wins keeping talented people engaged, would you say it’s the opposite effect for many talented people who just miss out or just completely snubbed? By not getting nominations and wins, do you think many talented people will be more inclined to try film because they feel they’re not getting enough recognition in awards season?

To me it depends on what they want. If you want to make money, being a lead/main in a long running network show is by far the most lucrative path

If you want fame, hit movies are watched by way way more people than any TV show

If you want recognition, an Oscar is a much bigger deal than an Emmy. Like Billy Porter and Kyle Chandler both won best actor and I couldn’t pick them out of a 2 person lineup
