00:00I look a lot at the Venn diagram between traditional and YouTube, a lot.
00:07I do think it is a kind of a case of the award shows catching up with the times,
00:11because if it is just cultural impact or whatever it is, we're there, right?
00:16So a lot of the questions I have are just what does the Emmy, for example, actually mean?
00:23What is the definition of what deserves to be awarded with an Emmy?
00:27I'd love to see that written down somewhere.
00:30Because like you've mentioned, whether you look at the numbers
00:33or you just look at the connection that people have or how into it people get
00:37or whatever you want to measure it by, they're in the same category.
00:40Even though the Venn diagram isn't quite overlapped, I think all the stuff that we're making
00:44and all the stuff that the Academy recognizes are very much in the same category.
