The Morning: The Emmys are tomorrow

A chance to take stock of how we spend our screen time.
The Morning

September 14, 2024

Good morning. On the eve of the Emmy Awards, it's worth taking a look at what we're actually watching.

Divided attention

The 76th Primetime Emmy Awards are tomorrow, and if it feels too soon for the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences to be throwing another one of these celebrations, that's because it is. It was a mere eight months ago that "Succession," "The Bear" and "Beef" swept most of the major categories of the 75th Emmys. That ceremony was postponed four months because of Hollywood's labor disputes, which leaves us with two Emmy ceremonies in one year. On the one hand, great — more to celebrate. On the other, even those of us who love to lose ourselves in the glitz and schmaltz of awards shows could use another minute to process the end of "Curb Your Enthusiasm," to get caught up on "Reservation Dogs," to miss Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri a little, as charming as they may be.

"What even is television anymore?" my colleague Alex asked me this morning, a question that seems almost impossible to answer. I'm not 100 percent caught up on all the shows nominated for these Emmys, but that's not because I haven't been spending unhealthy amounts of time watching things on screens. What does it mean is that I haven't found 10 hours to watch the first season of "Shogun," by all accounts a very good series that I would like very much, but I have just in the past week spent at least that much time consuming an incoherent jumble consisting of Taylor Swift and Travis Kelce canoodling at the U.S. Open, Donald Trump's remarks at the Economic Club of New York, a "Gladiator"-themed Pepsi ad, plus countless movie trailers, Peloton workouts, cooking demos, fabric steamer reviews and oh god I could go on.

I'm watching stuff all the time, but very little of it leaves a mark. It's all passive time spent with screens, ingesting information. It requires little of me intellectually, emotionally, spiritually. Just because something uses up my attention doesn't mean I'm actually paying attention to it. A recent story in The Atlantic examined how we've abandoned meals for snacks. I see the same trend in my culture consumption: I'm noshing on bits of content all the time, but seldom sitting down for a full meal.

When I look over the list of the Emmy nominees, the category I am most excited about is the one honoring writing for a variety special. There are five nominees, four of which are comedy performances that I adored. Two, Alex Edelman's "Just for Us" and Jacqueline Novak's "Get on Your Knees," I saw when they were performed live, in February and March of 2022, as Covid restrictions were easing and attending a show in person still felt strange and new. I was nearly delirious with excitement, over how smart and dynamic the comedians were, how electric it felt to be in an audience with other spectators. Those evenings are, in my memory, perfect: I remember arriving at the theater, finding my seat, turning off my phone for the duration of the show, going out afterward and chatting excitedly about what we'd just seen.

I don't want to lose that appetite for full meals, for entertainment that engages my mind and heart and requires my physical presence. Streaming services invite one to graze on shows, to watch a few minutes between scrolling Instagram and working on an email. I remember, in the mid-'90s, going over to my friends' house each week for NBC's Thursday night Must-See TV lineup of "Friends," "Seinfeld" and "ER." Those evenings are still so vivid — we would all bring knitting projects to work on while we watched. It seems almost quaint now to invite people over to watch an episode of a streaming show, to create a time-restricted event out of the 24/7 banquet of watchable content. It's so much easier to just snatch little bites where we can. But I'm interested in trying it, in adding some formality, some inconvenience to my cultural diet in the hopes of returning some meaning and magic to the never-ending binge.

CULTURE CALENDAR

🎸 "143" by Katy Perry (Friday): Perry — once pop music's center of gravity — has had a bumpy comeback. Critics and fans panned her new album's first single, "Woman's World," for peddling outdated girl-boss feminism. (Lyrics: "It's a woman's world and you're lucky to be livin' in it / You better celebrate / 'Cause, baby, we ain't goin' away.") And Rolling Stone revealed that Perry had worked on the album with the producer Dr. Luke, who was sued years ago over accusations of abuse and sexual assault. This album is a source of curiosity, not just for the music but for the public's response to it.

RECIPE OF THE WEEK

Lemon Sweet Rolls With Cream Cheese Frosting

Do the words lemon sweet rolls with cream cheese frosting make you a little weak in the knees? Yossy Arefi's cozy recipe is a fresh, citrusy take on the usual cinnamon rolls, but made for lemon-heads like me. Her zest-spiked filling infuses a spiraled, buttermilk-enriched bread dough scented with cardamom. Yeasty, tender and slathered with a tangy cream cheese icing, it's just the thing to serve at a special breakfast or brunch when you want something rich and satisfying, but still brightly flavored.

REAL ESTATE

ADVICE FROM WIRECUTTER

No, you probably don't need a new phone

Every year, tech companies release new smartphones with appealing but nominal upgrades, enticing you to buy a fancier model of the thing you already own. Our advice? If you properly care for your phone, you don't need to replace it every year — or even every other year. No judgment if you want a shiny new device. But if you're looking to save a few bucks and reduce electronic waste, Wirecutter's experts suggest a few small hacks that can make a big difference in making your phone last longer. Start by prioritizing your phone's battery health: Avoid extreme temperatures, and stop charging it to 100 percent. — Roderick Scott

GAME OF THE WEEK

Chicago Bears vs. Houston Texans, N.F.L.: The Texans quarterback C.J. Stroud had one of the best rookie seasons in N.F.L. history last year. This week, he faces football's next great hope: Bears quarterback Caleb Williams, the No. 1 pick in the draft. Stroud led his team to the playoffs last year, and the Texans offense looks even better now — some believe they could be Super Bowl contenders, Zak Keefer writes in The Athletic. Meanwhile, with Williams still getting used to the pros, the Bears' best hope is their impressive defense, which outscored the offense in Week 1. Sunday at 8:20 p.m. Eastern on NBC

Thursday Morning: The surging virus

And what else you need to know today.

Good morning. Biden and Trump are holding competing TV events. A look at Amy Coney Barrett’s last day of questioning. And virus cases in Europe now exceed those in the U.S.

The surging virus

The autumn wave of the coronavirus has reached a dangerous new stage. The number of new daily cases has risen almost 50 percent in the U.S. over the past month. The situation is even worse in Europe.

For the first time since late March, the per capita number of new cases in Europe exceeds the number in the U.S.:

By The New York Times | Sources: Johns Hopkins University, World Bank

“The virus is everywhere in France,” the French president, Emmanuel Macron, said yesterday, while imposing a nighttime curfew in major cities.

The onset of cooler weather, which is driving more people indoors, seems to be playing a big role. And many people seem to have grown tired of pandemic restrictions, leading politicians — in both Europe and the U.S. — to lift restrictions prematurely.

In late June, as The Times’s Mark Landler writes from Europe, residents in Prague held a dinner party stretching across the Charles Bridge to celebrate what they called — wrongly — the end of the outbreak. Italy and Spain welcomed summer tourists.

But the pandemic hasn’t gone away. While treatments are getting better, many people are still dying — including almost 6,000 in India over the past week, 5,000 in the U.S., 1,700 in Iran, 850 in Spain and about 600 in both Britain and France. A widely available vaccine is still months away, even if the current research trials go well.

Amid all of this bad news, it’s worth keeping in mind that some countries continue to fight the virus successfully. The per capita rate of new cases in Canada is less than half as high as it is in the U.S. In Australia and much of Africa and Asia, the rate remains near zero.

In many places where case counts are rising, political leaders are reluctant to impose new lockdowns, because the public is tired of them. But that creates something of a Catch-22: The most reliable way to reverse big outbreaks of this virus has been through strict crackdowns.

In the U.S.: The virus is spreading in every region, with the highest case counts in the South and Midwest, as you can see in these charts.

THE LATEST NEWS

THE VIRUS
  • After a huge aid expansion kept millions of people out of poverty this spring, the help is largely exhausted, and poverty in the U.S. has returned to levels higher than before the pandemic.
  • A Sweet 16 party on Long Island led to a coronavirus outbreak that forced more than 270 people to quarantine. “Yeah, it wasn’t that sweet,” Gov. Andrew Cuomo said.
  • Nick Saban, the head football coach at Alabama, tested positive. Two other colleges in his conference, Florida and L.S.U., postponed their next game after more than 20 Florida players contracted the virus.
  • In the early days of the pandemic, President Trump assured Americans that the virus was nothing to be concerned about. Behind the scenes, his economic advisers were telling wealthy donors otherwise, a Times investigation found.

THE SUPREME COURT

  • Judge Amy Coney Barrett signaled that an upcoming Supreme Court case on the Affordable Care Act might not threaten the entire law. Barrett said that a legal doctrine known as “severability” (it’s the legal equivalent of a game of Jenga: If you pull out one plank, will the entire tower topple?) could let the court strike down parts of the law without invalidating all of it.
  • Barrett declined to answer several questions related to Trump, including whether a president has a right to pardon himself. Legal experts are divided on the issue.
  • Yesterday was Barrett’s last scheduled day of questioning from senators. She is on track for confirmation on a near party-line vote.
OTHER BIG STORIES
  • Houthi fighters in Yemen released two American hostages after the U.S. brokered a deal to return scores of Houthi fighters being held in Oman.
  • Half the coral that makes up Australia’s Great Barrier Reef has died since 1995. Researchers said the decline would continue if no drastic action is taken on climate change.
  • A Morning read: “Like a lot of men, in pursuit of novelty and amusement during these months of isolation, I grew a mustache,” Wesley Morris writes. In an essay, he explores how a lark led to a better understanding of his Blackness.
  • Lives Lived: In 1985, Herbert Kretzmer, by then a lyricist and a song writer, was asked to reimagine an obscure French musical, “Les Misérables.” He wrote the English lyrics and turned it into one of the most successful and longest-running theater productions. Kretzmer was 95.

IDEA OF THE DAY: UNACCOUNTABLE PROSECUTORS

In February 2017, an audio reporter named Madeleine Baran received an email encouraging her to look into the case of Curtis Flowers, a Black man in Mississippi on death row. That email started her journey to what my late colleague Jim Dwyer called the “greatest journalism of our age.”

Madeleine Baran and Curtis Flowers.Samara Freemark/APM Reports

Flowers was the victim of a campaign by Doug Evans, a white local prosecutor, to convict him for a 1996 quadruple murder, despite no good evidence tying Flowers to the crime. Along the way, Evans committed multiple instances of prosecutorial misconduct, like barring Black jurors. After appeals courts threw out some of Flowers’s convictions, Evans kept trying him — over six different trials, keeping Flowers behind bars the entire time.

Baran and her colleagues at APM Reports told this story in the second season of their podcast, “In the Dark,” and brought national attention to it. Last year, the Supreme Court overturned Flowers’ conviction. On Sept. 4, Mississippi dropped the charges against Flowers.

If you haven’t yet listened to the podcast, I recommend starting with the first episode. If you have, you can listen to the final episode, released yesterday, in which Baran is finally able to interview Flowers.

So far, there is no sign that Evans will face any penalties for his misconduct.

Incels and white supremacists

Radicalization often happens online. In her new book “Culture Warlords: My Journey Into the Dark Web of White Supremacy,” Talia Lavin infiltrates far-right online communities with fake identities — a socially awkward 21-year-old man, a gun-toting Iowan woman.

It “isn’t one of those books in which an intrepid author journeys behind enemy lines in order to write plaintively of our shared humanity,” Jennifer Szalai writes in a review. “One of the marvels of this furious book is how insolent and funny Lavin is; she refuses to soft-pedal the monstrous views she encounters.”

Buy local: Independent bookstores are asking for support from readers. “If you want Amazon to be the world’s only retailer, keep shopping there,” one ad says.

Life after the Test Kitchen

In June, staff members at the food publication Bon Appétit called out a discriminatory work environment that paid people of color less than white employees in similar jobs. Several Bon Appétit stars have since announced they will no longer appear in the brand’s popular YouTube videos.

Among the departures was Sohla El-Waylly, whose fans have created video montages dedicated to her skills. Through the controversy, she became a “symbol for the overqualified and underpaid,” E. Alex Jung writes in a profile of the chef in Vulture. El-Waylly, who is writing a cookbook and filming her own web show, said, “It became increasingly frustrating to become a sidekick to people with significantly less experience than me.”
