As a Consumer, Apparel, & Retail Studies student, we are often drawn to entertainment awards shows to check out the latest fashion on the red carpet. Well, this last Sunday, the Emmy's aired on Fox and I was very happy about many of the fashion choices. The simple lines and beautiful rich colors were fabulous, but that isn't what all the news has been about after the controversial show censored some celebs. Fox, being a conservative channel with a known-conservative CEO, is being critisized mainly for the censorship during Sally Field's speech for Best-Actress in a Drama Series. People have been going back and forth since the Emmy's premiered live on Fox Sunday night, as to whether the censor came from her taking God's name in vain with a very passionate "God D**n, " or was it her anti-war statement that we shouldn't even be in a war right now?
I am a firm believer in the fact that we as Americans have the right to voice our opinions on politics in the country that we are free citizens in, and I think its horrible that they censored her!
If you haven't seen the speech yet, here are the YouTube links. The first link is the uncensored version and the second link is censored:
