OK Toto, we are not in Kansas anymore. Awards season is not just upon us, it has engulfed us. First the Globes, then the Critics Choice Awards, now the Emmys? Never have the first weeks of January been more chock full of glam, bad jokes, and long, overwrought telecasts. We are loving it.

That is to say nothing of the coming week’s Oscar and BAFTA nominations, and the Grammy awards quickly on the horizon. There’s also that big important football game with (maybe) Taylor’s tall handsome boyfriend? Really, we are drowning the pop culture pomp.

While the Chair is still on the mend, all we can say here at Notes from a Chair is that posts and podcasts are coming, and full recaps, roundups, hits and misses of this over-the-top awards season are most certainly upon us. For now, we’ll just sit back and delight in watching multi-millionaires cry over gold statues — and we will not apologize for it.

Tune into the Emmys tonight and check back here for more notes on the event. Succession and The Bear will most certainly be bringing home the gold, but will our beloved Jennifer Coolidge get her final prize for the role of a lifetime?

Stay tuned!
