Down to the Wire || THEWRAP | 13 Conversations with producers, writers and crew members of dozens of Emmy shows yield lots of backstage glimpses and unguarded moments. Stagehands remember, for instance, an impossibly cheesy dance number devoted to TV theme songs, one that included dancers swirl- ing their arms like helicopters as they came across the stage to the theme from “M*A*S*H.” The most memorable part of the number for some crew members came at rehearsal, when sat in the front row with The Waltons star Richard Thomas, and kept Thomas in stitches with a steady stream of snide comments about the dancing. In 1985, the Emmys had its own moment to stand alongside the Oscars streaker in 1974, or the performance artist with “SOY BOMB” painted on his chest who crashed a Bob Dylan song at the Grammys. It came when Betty Thomas won a supporting-actress award for —and before she could get to the stage at the Pasadena Civic Auditorium, her Emmy was claimed by an impostor, noted gatecrasher Barry Bremen, who said he was accepting on her behalf. During an ensuing commercial, Thomas was told that she’d be allowed to give an acceptance speech, and stage manager Dency Nelson rushed an Emmy statuette out to the podium only seconds before the break ended. (A photographer snapped Nelson’s picture, and the next day’s caption referred to him as “unidentified technician.”) Nelson also remembered a year the always-neurotic was hosting, and watching a typically rocky and dramatic rehearsal with Faye Dunaway. “In the wings, Garry turned to me and said, ‘Boy, she’s really a piece of work, isn’t she?’” said Nelson. “And I said, ‘And you’re not?’ He looked at me for a second, and then started laughing.” Mischer remembered the 1992 show, when Candice Bergen won for Murphy Brown and used her acceptance speech to take a shot at Vice President Dan Quayle, who’d called Bergen’s unmarried-mother character a bad example. “The whole show just kind of drifted into political commentary,” said the veteran director and producer. “And there was no way to stop it—if you pick up the microphone during a commercial and say, ‘Please don’t talk about politics,’ everybody will talk about politics.” The following year, Mischer added, the Emmys endured an attempted boycott at the hands of CBS and NBC, who were angry that the Academy had signed a four-year TV deal with ABC after completing a six-year one with Fox. “The other networks rebelled and didn’t want their talent to do the show,” he said. “We wanted Angela Lansbury to host, because she had the number one show with Murder She Wrote, and I know that CBS was not encouraging her. But we’d just worked with her on the Tonys, and she really wanted to do it.” (In one way, though, the boycott worked: The ABC deal was terminated after two years, and a yearly rotation between the four broadcast networks was restored.) And, of course, the backstage area has provided a steady stream of unguarded star moments.

The steers Downton Abbey through a season of mourning, state rape and recovery, Agent and contemplates By Steve Pond the end of his grand E family serial t shouldn’t have come as much of a surprise that Downton Abbey landed a dozen Emmy nominations this year, including Outstanding Drama Series— after all, the British period drama was already the most-nominated international series in Emmy Ihistory, with 39 nominations and 10 wins for its first three seasons. But Downton’s Season 4 snuck in under the radar, with storylines that weren’t quite as headline-grab- bing as the deaths of two major characters in the previous season. This time, the upper-crust Crawley family dealt with grief over past losses, with a cousin’s scandalous flirtation with a black jazz singer, with an unexpected (and secret) pregnancy and with the gradual re- emergence of Lady Mary (Michelle Dockery) after the death of her husband Matthew. In the servants’ quarters, meanwhile, the usual squabbling and jockeying was overshadowed by the rape of Anna Bates (Joanne Froggatt), which she tried to keep secret so her husband wouldn’t kill the rapist. All of this came courtesy of the pen of the show’s creator, Julian Fellowes, who writes every episode of Downton by himself. He spoke to TheWrap from his home in Dorset, as filming on Season 5 was in its final stages.

BS was mad that it wasn’t winning more Emmys for its news pro- ‘Sham and Hypocrisy grams. ABC agreed that the awards didn’t go to the right programs. CAnd both networks were upset that NBC had With Amusing Overtones’ broadcast the show for 10 consecutive years. So The Emmys of 50 years ago survived a boycott and led to big changes two of the three networks announced that they were boycotting the 16th Emmy Awards, which were handed out in May 1964 at the Hollywood Palladium in Los Angeles. And when the dust had cleared, the night’s big winner was a show from a boycotting network, and the reverber- ations led to a short-lived overhaul of Emmy rules and then the creation of the alternat- ing-network TV deal that continues to this day. »» The fuss began when CBS News president and Dick Van Dyke Fred Friendly called the Emmys “unrealistic, unprofessional and unfair”—a slam that was largely inspired, according to Tom O’Neil’s book The Emmys, by the fact that CBS had consistently lost to NBC in the news categories. CBS cancelled the 10 tables it had reserved at the Palladium, while ABC cancelled six. NBC called the boycott “a classic of sham and hypocrisy with amusing overtones,” and the move didn’t stop more than 1,450 nominees and guests from showing up in L.A. and another 4,000 in New York. In fact, the boycott proved most effective only as a theme for much of the night’s comedy, including a mocking skit by the »»E. G.

ABC’s The Making of the President 1960 was named program of the year, while CBS’s The Defend- ers was named best drama series. In the end, boycott instigator CBS led the field with 13 wins to nine for NBC and five for ABC—al- though Friendly’s news division went home empty-handed, which said made his complaints look like “prescient sour grapes.” The next year, the TV Academy complete- ly overhauled the Emmy process, reducing the field from 27 separate categories to four general areas, and giving as many awards in each category as the judging panels felt were appropriate. That experiment was a flop, and in 1966 they went back to single-winner categories. They also began to alternate the telecast between all three (now four) broad- cast networks, an arrangement that has largely persisted ever since. And every few years, somebody else boycotts or threatens to boycott—though for the most part, their threats don’t affect the show any more than Fred Friendly’s did. —STEVE POND THE DICK VAN DYKE SHOW, THE DEFENDERS: CBS; HOLLYWOOD PALLADIUM: ALAN LIGHT PALLADIUM: THE DEFENDERS: CBS; HOLLYWOOD SHOW, DYKE THE DICK VAN
