It’s a political statement. Hollywoke has made Colbert their latest figurehead and pawn in the culture war. They won’t bother helping him in any way, that would require actual effort and some sort of sacrifice on their part. Rather, they’ll heap praise on him and lionize him until it becomes obvious nobody cares. Then they’ll abandon him and he’ll truly understand what he thought he was fighting for.
He’s the rodney floyd of television now. A scumbag propped only because the other side don’t like him. I wonder if amy sherald will paint his portrait like mich. obama and that criminal chick that was killed by the Louisville PD.
When I hear about stuff like this I am reminded that Obama won a Nobel Peace Prize before he’d hardly had time to sit at the Resolution desk.
It is a “gimme.” A booby prize. A participation trophy that has now had all of its already questionable prestige stripped from it with this decision.
Like the last decade’s worth of oscars.
“won an Emmy” – these woke awards ceremonies have no credibility. Like Rotten Tomatoes, these days, they are marketing / ads.
