Sorry for the delay. I had one hell of a time going through the Wiki articles for all the awards since I wanted to be extra thorough. At some point I just have to give up, I'll probably edit a few of these and fill in the asterisks somedya, but for the most part, these are final.

"The 1977 Awards saw clear favorites rise out of the Nixon/Ford legacy. Americans have reflected in their pop culture just as much as in their politics, and it's plain to see. With Rocky's clean sweep, many in America seem to have a great amount of optimism for the future, with President Carter reflecting the character's honest, hardworking background, honest personality, and osheer optimism regarding the challenges he faces, it's no surprise some of the President's supporters have made the comparison, with some pro-Carter rallies even playing the now famous 'Gonna F;y Now' in his support."
"This year has also reflected the pride America has in its history, or at least its desire to learn from it and improve, and the awards show this quite clearly, with the ABC show Roots as well as the television movie Eleanor and Franklin. The former detailing the generational story of a black family, beginning with the ancestor Kunta Kinte being brought to America as a slave, while the latter is a potrayel of the lives of Preisdent Franklin D. Roosevelt and First Lady Eleanor Roosevelt within the White House. Recongised, though not awarded were the Adams Chroinicles, detailing the stories of some of the descents of the politically impactful Adams family, including presidents John and John Q. Adams, as well as Charles Francis Adams, who served as Ambassador to Great Britain during the Civil War, and ran for President on the Liberal Republican/Democratic ticket alongside his son, John Q. Adams II in 1872."
"Alongside the optimism of tomorrow, as well as the reflection upon the mistakes and glories of the past, pop culture also represented something near and dear to the heart of every American after the Watergate scandal. . . second chances. Though it was clear that Nixon, Ford, and Reagan wouldn't get second chances, nor would they deserve them, Americans gave that forgiveness to those they felt deserved it, with none other than Elvis Presley being the biggest recipeint. Though on the outside things seemed well, with a healthy lifestyle, an unfair, yet still reasonable contract with Tom Parker, and Priscilla's acting, the King's career had been in a slump for the past few years. Though his acting skills were never in doubt, the roles had dried up, and his records just weren't selling as well as before. Not even a decade after his stupendous 1968 Grammy-winning comeback, Elvis found himself on the verge of being overshadowed once again both in music, and now on the screen as Priscilla's role in Charlie's Angels had elevated her to fame alongside her costar Farrah Fawcett. This all changed when Presley found himself on stage at the Golden Globes this January and accepted his award for Best Performance in a Comedy or Musical, for his role in A Star is Born, which went on to win several more awards both at the Golden Globes and the Academy Awards held later that year. With such a critcally acclaimed movie under his belt, and the combined media tour both he and Priscilla got on due to their on-screen sucess, and Elvis' career shot off like never before, even eclipsing his 1968 comeback. Having fired Tom Parker and Joe Esposito in September and replacing them with his cousing Billy Smith, he went back to doing what he loved best, touring. In shape, and with a reinvigorated profile, Elvis has already booked concert dates three and even four years in advance, planing to go on an intense world tour to, in his words 'Go back to the basics, and do what I love best, which is singing for the fans'. Though there have been reports of arguments between Elvis and Priscilla regarding her career and the potential impact on Lisa Marie, it seems Priscilla's insitence on the matter has put any and all discussion on the matter to rest."
"Finally, a few careers were made, or at the very least improved this year. In the first category, Jodie Foster burst onto the scene, impressing audiences, and leaving them shocked with how such a young, talented actress can pull the audience into such a rough, violente movie, playing such a controversial role, and it's clear to see why director George Lucas has gone above and beyond to ensure her participation in his upcoming project. Harrison Ford, who had nearly given up acting just a few yeaperformanchad his perseverance duly rewarded, with his role All In the Family alongside Mickey Rooney has made him a household name, his onscreen chemistry with Rooney has done wonders for the show. Ford's commitment to the show made it impossible for him to commit to directo George Lucas' new project, though he did express his best wishes, having had 'a hell of a time' filming American Graffiti with him, which went on to do a full five Oscar sweep back in 1974. Ford added 'Even without me, George knows what he's doing. Whatever he's got planned, I'm sure it'll be a hit.' FInally, Henry Fonda has kept going strong, even into his seventie's, starring in the hit movies All the President's Men and Network, the latter of which also included his daughter (and wife of California senator Tom Hayden) Jane Fonda among its cast. In his acceptance speech, he spoke of not having been sure he was right for either role, he was glad to have taken it, especially for a movie so important as All the President's Men, which dealt with 'The story of two brave journalists doing their best to expose the criminal actions of former President Nixon, and who helped bring him to justice.' Continuing his speech, he finished with 'As many of you know, I love acting with all of my heart, and even with the coming of age and the problems it brings, I have never once considered retirement, and tonight's ceremony has redoubled that commitment. I've seen just how pwerful acting can truly be by bringing such important truths to the people, and I don't ever want to stop doing that.' With this, he thanked the audience at the venue, the viewers at home, and gave the biggest thanks to his daughter Jane and his son-in-law Tom, who he saw not just as his biggest supporters, but as some of the biggest against Nixon and the VIetnam War in Hollywood, even before it was popular.

1) Yeah, ITTL, Elvis is off the drugs, and he's had a pretty decent acting career (basically, every he's accepted every role that he was ever offered/considered for [which I'd love the list for!], which includes A Star is Born, which was also offered to Neil Diamond and Marlon Brando). Priscilla also accepts a role in Charlie's Angels, replacing Kate Jackson, since Farah Fawcett seems too crucial to replace (especially since she just won an Emmy for her performance on the show, and as such stays on the show for the full five seasons), while Jaclyn Smith stayed for the full run IOTL, though if anyone has any preference for Jackson over Smith, let me know).
2) Harrison Ford and Mickey Rooney are on All in the Family ITTLm which they both rejected IOTL due to Archie Bunker's bigotry. It's all the same to me regading Rooney, but I did want to give Ford some non-Star Wars fame, especially since I wanted to cast someone else as Han Solo (feel free to guess! Though it's not Kurt Russell, as cool as that may be. Was Marlon Brando offered the part?] since he hates it so much.
3) ITTL, Rocky does a full sweep at the Academy Awards, which is pretty deserved IMO since it's a great movie, and I think that ITTL it makes sense, since it's about an honest underdgo who goes the extra mile and then some to accomplish his dreams. Other than the speech patterns, physical prowess, and geographic location, it's a perfect encapsulation of how (some, particularly highly partisan Democrats/super anti-Nixo) voters view Carter, at least in the election, especially since Reagan comes off as an arrogant, right-winger in '76.
4) Although highly unlikely to win to this extent (up to the point of winning all four spots in a single category, Roots sweeps the Emmys because of the general societal interest on slavery and adressing America's wrongs which comes naturally to an America that has been doing so since 1974, except that since Roots is set in the past, it's not viewed (as) partisanly, and as such, can be admired.
5) M*A*S*H* wins because. . . well, duh. It's an anti-war comedy set during the Vietnam War. (At leas the movie was anti-war).
6) The Scotsboro Boys wins the award because a) I don't know the rest of the things except "Truman Speaks" and b) [not to spoil too much, but. . .] ITTL, Truman isn't President, so he doesn't get a mini-series dedicated to him since he's just "some senator from Missouri". (As anyone who's ever read my Civil War TL, I like putting in PoDs prior to the main story with some titanium nets because I feel like it gives the story color, but I do try to avoid outright ASB, or at least not make it the main thing).
7) I was legitimately surprised that Bohemian Rhapsody only got a single Grammy nomination. ITTL, they at least win it.
8) I like Sammy Davis Jr. and the whole Rat Pack.
