- Academy still silent on Cuomo Emmy award following nursing home scandal
-
The "Academy" in this case is the International Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, which awarded Governor Cuomo with an international Emmy "in recognition of his leadership during the Covid-19 pandemic and his masterful use of TV to inform and calm people around the world". The Academy's silence now that information he used to "inform and calm people" was based on lies of omission is an interesting footnote in Governor Cuomo's unfolding scandal. It is also a black mark on the credibility and reputation of the members of the Academy, whose ethics appear highly questionable.
It's their trophy. If they care enough, they could rescind the award. Do they care enough?
