Annaleigh Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Question. Is there any footage of Lucy winning in 1956? Was it not televised or filmed?! Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
tjw Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 I think that was the year that Lucy did not attend. Madelyn Pugh accepted the award for her... I have not seen actual footage, so I do not know if a kinescope of the broadcast exists somewhere or not. (Good question!) Tjw Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
C L A U D E Posted September 25, 2012 Report Share Posted September 25, 2012 Question. Is there any footage of Lucy winning in 1956? Was it not televised or filmed?! Lucy could not attend due to a sponsor conflict, the show was sponsored by a competing cigarette brand. Mr Watson filled in the rest. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
Mot Morenzi Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Lucy could not attend due to a sponsor conflict, the show was sponsored by a competing cigarette brand. Mr Watson filled in the rest. But Philip Morris stopped sponsoring the show in 1955, right? Would it have still been a conflict a year later?

HarryCarter Posted September 26, 2012 Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Lucy and Desi were reported to be "out of town" during the 1956 Emmys. There was specualation they didn't attend because I Love Lucy was snubbed for Best Comedy Series. Lucy and Desi did not attend the 1958 Emmys because it was sponsored by Plymouth and their own show was sponsored by Ford. They didn't win anything that year.

Annaleigh Posted September 26, 2012 Author Report Share Posted September 26, 2012 Well then. Lol. Interesting. I wonder if the broadcast is completely lost. Would love to see Madelyn accepting. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
