Well, this year has been a rollercoaster ride for the entertainment industry, especially with the ongoing pandemic and the resulting changes in the way we consume content. Despite all the challenges, there have been some remarkable shows and movies that have captured our hearts and minds. So, to answer the question, "What was the biggest film and television award show of the year?", there are actually two events that come to mind- the Oscars and the Emmys.

Firstly, the Oscars, presented by the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, is undoubtedly the biggest award show for the film industry. It is the most prestigious event that recognizes excellence in filmmaking across various categories such as Best Picture, Best Director, Best Actor, Best Actress, and so on. Although the 93rd Academy Awards was delayed by two months due to the pandemic, it still delivered a stunning event that was watched by millions of viewers worldwide.

The ceremony was hosted by the Union Station in Los Angeles, in addition to international locations such as London and Paris. This year's winners included Chloe Zhao for Best Director with her film "Nomadland" taking home three awards, including Best Picture. Other notable winners included Yuh-Jung Youn for Best Supporting Actress, Anthony Hopkins for Best Actor, and Daniel Kaluuya for Best Supporting Actor. The 93rd Oscars was a memorable night that celebrated the resilience and creativity of the film industry in the face of adversity.

Secondly, the Emmys, which celebrates excellence in television shows, is another big award show of the year. The 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards was hosted by Cedric the Entertainer and held at the Los Angeles Microsoft Theater. The event saw a mix of virtual and in-person attendance, with presenters and nominees attending from around the world. This year's winners included "The Crown" for Best Drama Series, "Ted Lasso" for Best Comedy series, and Kate Winslet for Best Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for "Mare of Easttown."

Both the Oscars and the Emmys award shows were a reflection of the power of storytelling and the impact that movies and television shows have on our lives. It was clear that despite the challenges of the past year, filmmakers and television creators still managed to captivate audiences with powerful and compelling stories.

In conclusion, to say which of these award shows was "the biggest" can be subjective depending on individual preferences. However, both the Oscars and the Emmys represent the pinnacle of recognition in their respective industries and deliver a night of glamour and excitement that can't be missed.
