I agree, and the cringe-inducing tension is making the show borderline unwatchable. Terrible idea.
As much as I love the jokey pressure Nate Bargatze put on winners at the #emmys by taking money off a charity donation when they speak too long, the fact is, the most compelling moments in most awards ceremonies comes from winners saying something unexpected and moving.
