because there are so many awards, they give 75% of them out the weekend before, and the other 25% are presented at the live ceremony (which would be next Sunday on NBC)

Betty has had a long life career that deserves rewarded and this Emmy is just part of the reward. I hope I’ll hear of here a lot more from now on.
