On the other side of things, the huge number of categories translates into multiple wins for shows not even in production or on the air anymore, such as Call Me Fitz. As was tweeted Sunday night, isn’t this putting a hat on top of a hat? Isn’t the fact these shows are popular reward enough? Should American Idol have won six straight Emmy Awards because it was America’s most-watched show for that duration? Giving merit awards for ratings is simply finding any damn excuse to hand out more trophies. Statues were handed out for most-watched in both the reality and drama categories. This is achieved through the folly of awarding trophies not just on merit but also on volume. But like the price of gas it is somehow back up again–128 awards, or more than the combined trophies handed out at the Oscars (24) and the Grammys (83). When they were launched three years ago, the folks in charge at the CSAs made a promising effort to bring the number of awards down to a less laughable level. The two-hour gala, telecast not-quite-live from the Four Seasons Centre Toronto, came after a few thousand other awards had been handed out during Screenie week. She said the Screenie red carpet was the only one where “they ask you to wipe your boots.” Funny, self-deprecating stuff.
She joked that the Canadian Screenie gift bags were courtesy of Target. While the bar wasn’t set very high, Martin came prepared with better jokes than the recent Oscar and Grammy hosts. Like Martin Short before her, she brought a plucky edge to what otherwise seemed like a well-dressed pep rally written by network publicists. “Talk about 50 shades of grey!” she cracked before sneaking in a Toronto tunnel reference. Her Britney Spears crotch gag was more “Blurries” or “Spreadies” than Screenies. Martin is 68 but was rolling around like she was 28 in the Screenie opener. She brought her anything-for-a-laugh shtick to The Canadian Screen Awards Sunday night, spilling out of a limo at the start and exposing her blurred “lady parts” for all the world (or, at least, hundreds of viewers) to see.

To learn more about San Clemente LASIK, contact Harvard Eye Associates today at 94 or to schedule a free LASIK Consultation.Andrea Martin is a very funny and very brave woman. When they are adults, blade-free LASIK in San Clemente may help correct the eye shape or corneal curvature so clear vision can be achieved at all distances. If a refractive error is to blame, you children may not have to live with glasses or contacts forever. He or she may need corrective lenses to see clearly. If your child routinely holds reading materials close to their eyes, you should schedule an eye exam to ensure that a refractive error is not the culprit. Make sure your child – and you – are engaging in other activities, like playing outdoors, to keep their minds and bodies healthy. Even so, this shouldn’t be an excuse to allow your child to spend hours in front of a screen every day. However, children typically don’t experience eyestrain like adults do. Viewing shows or video games close-up can produce headaches, fatigue or eyestrain. According to the Food and Drug Administration, “flat panel TVs incorporating Liquid Crystal Displays (LCD) or Plasma displays are not capable of emitting x-radiation.” But today’s modern televisions must comply with the Federal radiation limit. And in the 60s General Electric recalled television sets that emitted unsafe levels of radiation. Televisions manufactured before the 1950s reportedly did emit higher levels of radiation that could increase the risk of eye problems. She may have been partly correct if you were a kid in the 50s or 60s. There is no evidence that children or adults will damage their vision if they sit too close to the television. Mom is right most of the time…but when it comes to television viewing distance, she’s wrong – at least today. Was Mom right when she yelled at you for sitting too close to the television?
