The 53rd Annual Primetime Emmy Awards were held Sunday November 4, 2001. Year 2001 ( MMI) was a Common year starting on Monday according to the Gregorian calendar. Frank Pierson, then president of the Academy stated that the Oscars would proceed as scheduled, and to postpone would mean that "the terrorists have won". "the terrorists have won", or "then the terrorists win" is a Rhetorical phrase used in the wake of the September 11 2001 attacks However, the red carpet festivities prior to the awards, though not canceled, were severely curtailed as now the availabity of the bleacher seats were determined by a lottery rather than the first come, first serve basis. Also, there were 26 references to the attacks during the telecast. [1]
