The Emmys get it so right with ‘The Keepers’ nomination

I cannot tell you happy I am to see “The Keepers” get an Emmy nomination as best documentary or nonfiction series.

This is by far the greatest production of the genre this year. And I cannot remember a film as steeped in moral authority and social conscience as this one.

It is almost enough to restore my faith in the awards.

I have come to loathe the Emmys for the way they confuse many of us about quality TV.

The nominations this year are no exception for the most part. …

But, thanks to the nomination of “The Keepers,” I can let all that go this year and actually celebrate something that’s Emmy connected.

I am even going to watch the awards with some real excitement Sept. 17 on CBS to see “The Keepers” win.

I hope it wins, and everyone in the world goes out and sees it.

As for those people in the Baltimore area who looked the other way after Sister Catherine Cesnik was murdered, I hope this production never lets them forget.
