As we told you yesterday, the International Emmy Awards announced that New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo would receive an award for his leadership and “masterful use of television to inform and calm people around the world.” No, seriously:
Gov Andrew M Cuomo of NY will receive the International Emmy Founders Award in recognition of his leadership during the Covid19 pandemic & his masterful use of TV to inform & calm people around the world. The Emmy will be presented to @NYGovCuomo on Nov 23 https://t.co/dwKIImwYNV pic.twitter.com/1mKkmg6FKW

Janice Dean continues to roll her eyes this morning:
Good morning to everyone except the guy that just won an Emmy.

The Fox News meteorologist, who lost her in-laws to COVID-19 in New York adult care facilities, joins the rest of us in disbelief:
I guess if @TheEmmys award goes to an actor pretending to be a governor, then @NYGovCuomo deserves it. pic.twitter.com/nKwQRfLz4n

Thousands of elderly that died in nursing homes thanks to your winner’s “leadership” won’t be able to watch this show, unfortunately. https://t.co/S7UPHkLxwk

That will no doubt go unmentioned during the award ceremony.
Dean also had a suggestion for the International Emmy Awards in light of who they’ll soon be honoring:
I wonder if the @TheEmmys will add an extra in memoriam section after they give @NYGovCuomo his award remembering all the seniors who died thanks to his amazing leadership skills.

And could they please let Dean have the following role in the show?
This made me lol. https://t.co/L80Kqej5mj
