I bet Kathy Griffin would know that there is no apostrophe in "Emmys."

^ What about Grammar Nazi's? Is there an apostrophe in that?

So Kathy got wind of the HF thread and is now making fun of it. Good.

I don't think Kathy Griffin really started a group. I think the OP is making a joke.

I think the proper answer would be "Nein!"

Griffin created no such group that I can find. If it's a joke, it's poorly executed.

I bet the soap opera fans are enraged about the casts of Jersey Boys and The Lion King invading their awards ceremony. These irrelevant 'non-daytime TV' performances are taking time away from the nominees and the awards themselves!

"Nope."
