Electronic music gets its own televised awards show
Variety is reporting that Fox will broadcast the inaugural Electronic Music Awards on Saturday, April 23rd at 8pm. The network has teamed up with superstar DJ Paul Oakenfold to create the event as a celebration of the genre. It'll feature red carpet coverage, interviews, the ceremony itself and performances from the world's biggest artists. Read between the lines and you'll assume that the move was born out of frustration with the Grammy's traditional disdain for electronica. As Oakenfold says, he's "thrilled to be part of an awards show that finally" (emphasis ours) "recognizes and celebrates... one of the biggest music genres in the world." You can feel the heat radiating off that burn from a mile away.
