Some of the best Emmy moments of 2014 are not even on the list.

You can also check out our picks to see the best moments from the show.
Tina Fey's awkward introduction
The Emmy Awards are a huge night for comedians, and Tina Fey made a hilariously awkward entry on Sunday. She had made an awkward entrance just a few months before. This actress, writer and producer is one the most prominent and influential people in American comedy. She is best known for her roles on television shows like 30 Rock, Mean Girls and 30 Rock. However, she has also written several books, including Bossypants.
Amy Poehler's comedy at Ricky Gervais
The Emmy Awards were held on Sunday night and Ricky Gervais was ridiculed for his zinger. He is not afraid to make controversial remarks and has hosted three times the Hollywood Foreign Press Association awards show. The celebrity audience had mixed reactions to the jokes, but Tina Fey was more popular than Ricky.
Jon Hamm's struggle reading the teleprompter
Jon Hamm's inability to read the Emmys teleprompter are not surprising given his many nominations. His role as Don Draper, an AMC star, has earned him numerous acting awards. But Hamm's Emmy struggles at the Emmys have made some people question his credibility as a performer. He still won a prize and was awarded a highly coveted Emmy.
Cedric The Entertainer's performance
Cedric The Entertainer's Emmys performance is sure to please hip-hop fans. He sang a song about TV's power, along with other hip-hop artists such as Lil Dicky, LL Cool J and Rita Wilson. Cedric sings the song "Oh, TV, you" and later joins other Emmy nominees.
Allison Janney wins
The actress is a veteran of TV, having won seven Emmy Awards. The award for Outstanding Supporting Actress In a Comedy Series was won by the NBC political drama, tying Ed Asner's ten consecutive wins. The show was nominated for five consecutive awards at the 52nd Emmys, which were hosted by Garry Shandling. The series tied ABC's "The Practice", for the most consecutive wins. HBO's "The Sopranos" would not win until 2004, however.
Seth Rogen's COVID-19 rant
During his first Emmys presentation, Seth Rogen questioned whether COVID-19 protocol is actually living up to its promise. He awarded Hannah Waddingham the best supporting actress in comedy series. But he also complained of the tent ceiling's height and guest spacing. This led Twitter users to question his hypocrisy. He was actually well-known in fact for his marijuana use. This led to many people viewing him as hypocritical.
FAQ
Why do so few independent films ever get distributed?
Indie filmmakers are assuming that distributors will be interested in their films.
They are certain distributors will take their films, as they know that the public will love them.
But this is rare. Distributors often use independent filmmakers.
They may delay a film's release until after the awards season is over.
Or they delay the release date of a low-budget film until after the summer blockbuster season has begun.
Distributors are also trying to keep films off the streets until audiences have already spent hundreds upon thousands of dollars on tickets or popcorn.
They don't want these profits to be lost.
How much of the box office revenue goes to marketing budgets
Marketing budgets usually account for anywhere from 20%-40% of a film's budget. This is because marketing plays a vital role in any film's success.
Without effective marketing, no one will be able to find out about your film. It is impossible to get people to pay for your film without knowing all about it.
How much does Hollywood make per year?
A movie takes around $100 million to create. The average movie costs around $100 million to make. If you made ten movies per month for a ten year, you'd have enough cash to buy a small country.

If this sounds like it's not fun, then you might be insane.
What's the difference of an indie movie and a foreign-language film?
A single filmmaker usually makes an independent film. He or she makes all the decisions.
