The organizers behind the Emmys have ramped up security measures in response to Wednesday’s fatal shooting of far-right political activist Charlie Kirk, according to Deadline. The forces behind the biggest night in television have reportedly been gathering to discern what additional measures should be taken to protect presenters and attendees, though the specifics remain unclear (and that’s probably for the best).

“We aim to have any event in the City of L.A., like the Emmys, as secure as possible and as safe as possible,” a LAPD spokesperson told Deadline yesterday. The city’s police department, along with the Department of Homeland Security and the California Highway Petrol, will reportedly adopt “expanded roles” to combat any safety risks, according to another anonymous report from law enforcement. That’s in addition to CBS’ privately-funded security, which is similarly responsible for protecting the event’s 7,100 annual attendees.

Per Deadline, this isn’t the first time the Emmys have been interrupted by ongoing political and cultural strife. Last year, pro-Gaza protestors disrupted the flow of traffic to the events, causing delays, while the 53rd rendition of the Awards in 2001 ended up being delayed by over two months due to the September 11th attacks and the Bush administration’s subsequent decision to invade Afghanistan. But dangers to the attendees themselves have been few and far between.

CBS’ decision to tighten security is evidence of an American media landscape increasingly paranoid about violent retribution. As perhaps best evidenced by the fact that the current president, Donald J. Trump, had his rise to prominence partially facilitated by his appearances on The Apprentice, the line between entertainment and politics has grown more fine than ever.

“Tragedies like the shooting of Charlie Kirk rattles everyone,” a representative of multiple Emmy attendees told Deadline. “We all feel it. You can never be too safe at the best of times.”

The 77th annual Primetime Emmy Awards will premiere this Sunday night on CBS.
