How times have changed. The 2003 Emmy Awards saluted Bill Cosby.
The Primetime Emmy Awards are always evolving — from who gets nominated to who wins, and even what the categories are called. And as the 75th ceremony approaches on Sept. 18, we wondered … just what were the Emmys like 20 years ago? Turns out, it was both a simpler time and a time of change: Comedy series nominees were still broadcast networks and HBO; the variety series category was called “outstanding variety, music or comedy series”; and reality TV finally got a seat at the table.
“Raymond” beat out “Curb Your Enthusiasm” , which has been nominated in the category 10 times since 2002 but has never won. The other shows in the category, “Friends” , “Sex and the City” and “Will & Grace” , each had six series nominations over the course of their runs but won only one time each — in 2002, 2001 and 2000, respectively. “Will & Grace” did take home the lead actress award for Debra Messing that night, though.
“The Daily Show” triumphed over “Late Night With Conan O’Brien” , which picked up its first category nomination for the show but never won the series Emmy; “The Late Show With David Letterman” , which won six times between 1994 and 2002; “Saturday Night Live” , which garnered eight series wins in the changing category over the years; and “The Tonight Show With Jay Leno” , which despite 10 nominations won the series award only in 1995.
“Race” swept ahead of “American Idol: The Search for a Superstar” , which was nominated every year from the category’s inception until 2011 and has still never won a series Emmy; “Survivor” , which was nominated from 2003-06 but not since; and two head-scratching additions: a Bob Hope tribute special called “100 Years of Hope and Humor” and “AFI’s 100 Years … 100 Passions: America’s Greatest Love Stories” , shows whose content seem to test both the “reality” and “competition” labels.
