SHOULD EMMY PRESENTERS KEEP THE GIFT BASKETS??
Jim Chabin, president of the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (ATAS), told USA Today that some of the Emmy presenters had picked up their goodie bags during rehearsals. Chabin says all of the presenters will get them.
"These are people who gave their hearts and showed up," he says. "We want to thank them because they were doing run-throughs and rehearsals right up until the cancellation."
The 51 baskets are each worth more than $20,000 ... a total of over $1 million.
We ask, for doing what?? Appearing and presenting at an awards ceremony is good P.R. for any celebrity. Why are they also rewarded with such expensive gifts? Especially now, when America is 'at war' and the public's focus is on efforts for the good of the country.
We have written to the Academy of Arts & Sciences (ATAS) with our concerns and suggestion to donate these items to charity (see corresponding article). Here is some information if you want to express your opinions:
