An episode of television that’s an homage to a TV series just won an award for being a movie; not only for being a movie, but for being the best movie in a field of, well, at least five.
Saturday night, “Black Mirror: USS Callister” took home the Emmy for Outstanding TV Movie, beating out well-reviewed films like Jennifer Fox’s “The Tale,” Barry Levinson’s “Paterno,” and Bruce Beresford’s “Flint.”
This is the second year in a row an episode of Charlie Brooker’s Netflix series has triumphed in the TV Movie category, and the third year a non-movie has won, given “Sherlock’s” victory for a “TV special” in 2016. This fact alone should be enough of a tip-off something has gone wrong here; after all, even if sequels that don’t rhyme with “The Toddfather: Fart Flu” actually won Oscars, this isn’t the Oscars. It’s the Emmys.
