Ahead of KT Events’ DXB F&B Awards, all set to take place on November 27, jury member Jean Winter talks at length about what it takes to be truly inclusive

The Emmy Awards hit a new low in viewership on Monday night, with its estimated audience of 5.9 million people even smaller than the Covid-19-disrupted ceremony two years ago.
The Nielsen company said that the ceremony honouring television's best work — where 'Ted Lasso' was named Best Comedy and “Succession” Best Drama — was down from the 7.4 million people who watched in 2021.
Usually shown on a Sunday night, the Emmys were shifted to Monday to make way for NBC's first “Sunday Night Football” game the night before. It couldn't escape football, however, since it competed against a tight “Monday Night Football” game.
The Emmys were hosted by Kenan Thompson of “Saturday Night Live”.
The previous low point for the Emmys, with 6.1 million people, came with a drastically-downsized show because of the pandemic in 2020.
While football had its impact, Emmys ratings have been on a steady slide since the awards began to be dominated by shows on cable and streaming services. With so many more television programs being offered, there are fewer that draw the big audiences, that were routine in the days when broadcast television dominated.
The last time the Emmys exceeded 10 million viewers was 2018, when it reached an audience of 10.2 million. The Emmys had 21.8 million viewers in 2000 — a level it will probably never reach again.
