The complete list of winners is available on the Lone Star Emmys website.
I wonder how many Emmys they’d win if they actually faced competition…
Pruebas o mera envidia ?
Envidia?!!! De que?!!! De que presumen un galardon en el que, en muchos casos, fueron el único competidor? Más bien pena ajena..Pero supongo que tu estarás en esa misma categoria…
I agree with Alberto.
Many of these journalists receive these awards based on TV production values — video editing, sound, visually compelling video (that is what Emmy’s are intended for). Many of these stories are not what one would call public-serving stories that make a difference in our communities.
Let’s face that Spanish and English reporters are now competing head to head for these awards even though they compete head to head for ratings. It is an odd comparing system.
But heck! An Emmy does make a lovely bookend and looks good on Facebook 😉
Congrats
Typo: “are not competing” instead of “now competing”
Multiple emmys in the same category and they separate stations based on the language
