Chiany Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I liked it at first the campaign but not anymore, its too ott and its ruined my enjoyment of it Completely agree, I love that some fans (here) are dedicated to show their support for MaJim getting Emmy wins. But this is just creepy, that Heartthrob photo is waaaaay over the line. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
rachelshamyfan Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I would love for them both to win but the focus of the Mayim to win had changed to majim and a whole load of weirdness Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardustmelody Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 I would love for them both to win but the focus of the Mayim to win had changed to majim and a whole load of weirdness Rachel, the focus is still Mayim, but you don't understand...CBS even said that being part of a "couple" helps you win. It is all part of a strategy to help Mayim win. The more she is associated with Jim and his character, the better her chances. This is very popular pundit opinion. So please, don't whine and instead support her. This is to help her win, not to push MaJim as a couple! Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Chiany Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 Why is there a support campaign for Mayim to win but not Jim? Probably because Jim has already won several, and Mayim none after her 2 previous nominations. So, it's nothing against Jim. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

Yeah, I don't think Jim needs a campaign, but unless all the Emmy voters for Mayim follow instagram or twitter or whatever and then let that influence their vote, it's a nice show of support, but may not make any real difference. In the end, it's going to come down to how Emmy voters feel about Mayim and what they think of her submission (and if they watch the show) and how they feel about the others in her category. There are lots of factors. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...
stardustmelody Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) I'm not whining but the premise of the latest picture with the au and teenage dreams is very creepy Dreaming about an Emmy is creepy? Oh well, sorry you feel that way. It was really about two kids who were both having a love of acting and dreaming about winning awards some day. Sorry you missed that. I think the text on the photo is all about the Emmy not about a "coupling". Guess I didn't see it as about them as a couple, but as teens about the Emmy's. It was also a TBT photo showing them young. Phanta, the campaign is blasting several photos a day, including interview quotes, quotes from others about Mayim, on Twitter. There are all kinds of voters that follow her on Twitter and IG. The point is that CBS PR never focuses on the individual nominees. They focus on the cast as a whole and they have been focusing on MaJIm/Shamy, but they do little to promote them during the Emmy's. A number of us got together and realized that she probably needed some exposure to the voters. The campaign has talked about her STEM work, her being an authoress, her past work (Blossom, Beaches, etc.) and her present work (TBBT, voice over work, etc.). It is to show the voters that she is multi-faceted and talented and to keep her name in their forefront. She has the stiffest competition ever (more than in previous years) so we are just trying to help them remember she has been in the business a long time, is beloved by fans and that she is worthy of the statue. You are right, it may not make much of a difference, but it is better to keep her name active and in front of them than to not mention her at all and they don't think of her. Any positive exposure at all is better than none. Butterfly - Jim has the adoration and love of the voters in the Academy already, as evidenced by his already three wins and multiple nominations. He doesn't seem to need the exposure that Mayim does to win. She is also facing very tough competition this Emmy compared to previous years. He is already predicted to win in Comedy so a campaign for him is not really necessary. They already have him leading about 60% or more.

IAteAButterfly Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 So, how would this campaign influence Emmy voters? I think it's just an excuse to photoshop Jim and Mayim into each other's pics. But if the Emmy voters are all up on tumblr, apparently Mayim is good to go. Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

That's all well and good. I'm just saying that I would hope that the voters aren't voting for her because she's written books or done work for STEM, but for her acting skills as displayed in the show, which is how I hope they consider Jim and any other nominees. I know that sentiment and a certain kind of popularity come into play, because people are human, but I would hope it would be all about the acting.

Which is why we focus primarily on her roles past and present. But you can't ignore that she is also involved in those other things as well. But yes, we focus primarily on her acting. Technically, the voters often vote on what is the "darling" of the year which is annoying instead of what is really good work. But hopefully they will see that she has had a steady stream of good work and has consistently delivered top quality work.

But yes, we focus primarily on her acting. But the voting shouldn't be for her previous acting roles, but simply for her work this season as Amy. I mean, technically, that's what the awards are for--what an actor has done this season. Of course, name recognition from other projects has some influence--like people talk about how movie stars in TV roles, and especially Oscar-winning stars in TV roles, have a leg up on other "just TV" stars, but I don't think that Mayim's past roles and her "extra-curricular activities" are germain. I'm not trying to rain on anybody's parade, and I don't think there's any real harm done in the promotions, I'm just wondering if it really has any influence. It's still mostly cute.

Joyzeefan23 Posted July 17, 2014 Posted July 17, 2014 (edited) FYI. Having her named tagged and talked about helps with search engines. If anything even this discussion is helping keeping her name out there. So, lets just try and keep this positive. There's a lot of factors that go into a win. If there wasn't, PR Firms wouldn't be as big. I didn't take the pic edit as creepy. They're a working "couple" on the show... why would I think otherwise? #tbt refers to Throwback Thursday so I understood that.

I know how voting is supposed to be but we all know in reality it isn't that way at all. Yes, it is supposed to be about the one episode actually...they are supposed to vote on the episodes submitted only, but we all know they don't do that. If that was the case, most of the winners that win would never be up on stage. Voters are human and they are going to think about more than the single episode. So yes, they do look at overall work whether we like it or not and whether they are violating rules or not. It is a reality. Have you even looked at what has been sent out? I would say over 90% of it is about TBBT. Bottom line, the campaign is going. You can all support it and support Mayim or ignore it, but why criticize it? Is it harming you in any way? It isn't harming her because her management team and PR team are well aware of it and support it. So what is the issue here? Share this post Link to post Share on other sites More sharing options...

I've seen only the Instagram posts, really, but they do kind of get mixed up with some that are little more questionable. I do think that the reaction is positive, as far as I've seen. As I said, I was just wondering whether or not a campaign like this has any real influence among the people who will actually vote in her category.
