We note this fact simply so that we can ignore it, on the following grounds:
- Award shows insult the viewer as attempts by the entertainment industry to promote itself by congratulating itself.
- Award shows insult the viewer by their assumption that we want to see actors when they aren't doing their jobs, i.e. acting (if indeed actors ever aren't acting).
- Committed viewers of 24 will find the award at best ironic as they know that this season was hardly the best in the show's distinguished history, save for the brilliant acting performances of Jean Smart and Gregory Itzin in utterly implausible situations.
- Anyone who will only watch 24 because it won this award or who will watch it with greater regularity and interest because it won this award is unworthy of the experience of watching 24.

i have to say that this is one gentle reader who totally does not agree. beign star struck has always been a hobby of mine. i love seeing award shows. yes i know they are political and they really do gauge what the audience really thinks. but man....i love seeing all those people outside of their acting element.
