Let’s keep the show moving

Regarding “(Un)Predictable,” The Times’ Emmy coverage [Sept. 13]: I don’t know the rules engagement regarding the time allotted for awards show winner acceptance speeches, but when Jennifer Coolidge won her Emmy, then began to babble only semi-coherently before panic-rushing her laundry list of thank-yous, I don’t blame show producers for cuing the “play off ” music.

Her resisting this attempt to keep the broadcast running on time only rendered a somewhat embarrassing moment that much more embarrassing.
