Anne Carson’s Nobel Prize, Eva Marie Saint’s Oscar- and Emmy-winning career and the Emmys’ move to Prime Video may show awards still serving as a reference point, even as one awards show leaves broadcast

The Swedish Academy awarded the 2026 Nobel Prize in Literature to Anne Carson, 76. Eva Marie Saint, who won an Oscar for her first film role and later an Emmy, died Tuesday at 102. The Television Academy signed a six-year deal making Prime Video the exclusive home of the Primetime Emmys from 2027, with a free telecast.
