ALBANY, N.Y. -- New York Gov. Andrew Cuomo is set to soon receive an International Emmy award for his once-daily televised briefings on the coronavirus pandemic that killed tens of thousands of New Yorkers this spring.
The International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences, whose members include media and entertainment figures from over 60 countries and 500 companies, announced Friday it plans to present the award to the Democratic governor in a live-streamed show Monday.
International Academy President & CEO Bruce L. Paisner said Cuomo is being honored with the academy's Founders Award for using his briefings to inform and calm the public. Previous recipients include former Vice President Al Gore, Oprah Winfrey, and director Steven Spielberg.

With any luck, Cuomo will receive a Darwin award soon as well.

And Don Lemon should get an Academy Award for his Constant Crying on Live Television.
That man is so full of # that it literally makes me nauseous.

Who gives the awards for making terrible decisions whose consequences were obvious to anyone with a reasonably functional brain, which lead to the untimely deaths of thousands of parents, grandparents, sons and daughters, husbands and wives?
The man is guilty of gross negligence at best. Appropriately, probably war crimes and mass murder.
