Pee-wee’s Big Holiday has a big heart and even bigger laughs but that shouldn’t block Emmy consideration
The Emmy television movie category is always crammed with serious subject matter. Looking back throughout the list of past winners, the award features true tales of historical figures and sweeping emotional dramas. The word “prestige” is often attached to these projects. Maybe it’s time for the Television Academy to embrace something looser, sillier, and absolutely from left field. Maybe it’s time for the Emmys to consider a comedic movie to shake up their streak of seriousness.
Maybe it’s time for the Emmys to nominate Pee-wee’s Big Holiday.
This movie proves that when guys hang out with one another it doesn’t have to be The Hangover. God forbid we show two men actually being…friends.
