The gospel according to the Emmys: A good apology

At Sunday night's Emmys, I was thrilled to see Sarah Paulson win an award for her work in The People v. O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story.

I was not as thrilled to see Paulson pull out a sheet of paper for her acceptance speech.

I understood why the nominees have a prepared list of folks to thank, but I don't listen as closely to an acceptance speech when the person reads from a sheet of paper. However, since I loved the miniseries and especially admired Paulson's work, I swallowed my personal preference and decided to listen.
