Anyone else disgusted by extended Emmys tribute to Cory Monteith?


I don't know where the Emmy producers keep their brains, but having Cory Monteith featured in the extended In Memorium section of the broadcast is a slap in the face to all the other actors and behind the scenes people who died. What about Jack Klugman or Larry Hagman? Both had far more impressive resumes than Monteith whose claim to fame was as part of the ensemble cast of Glee. That he was a heroin addict/alcoholic just adds insult to injury.

Why did the EMMYS not have 7 spots instead of 5 for their Memorium focus spots???
Why did we need to hear Elton John sing?
Or Carrie Underwood?
or the dance number?

I dont watch GLEE or and have less respect for drug users,
But these are more important questions.
Cory was popular to a huge amount of younger fans......and that small tribute helped give the EMMYS its biggest ratings since 2006.



Seen 131 of the movies on the top 250. Own 108 of them.
