The Emmys 2017: Anyone watching?

Last night saw US TV's version of the Oscars, the Emmys take place. However the general public seemed uninterested as it recorded it worst ever ratings with just over 9 million viewers. Some blaming the overly politicised attempts at humour as a turn off. An another was the awards being dominated by show with rather niche followings like the winner of the Best Drama award The Handmaid's Tale. It appears that this is another case of the general public tastes at odds with the major awards.
