You hardly need to spend hours in front of the telly to conjure up the narrative of the prize as it unfolds every week. Choose an entertaining journalist's blog and the job is done for you. The boring bits are filtered out by the wit and elegance of the writer's style, and you are spared the many many ads. But, you're probably missing the point of the whole endeavour, because prizes are not just about who wins, they're about the drama! The entertainment! It's like reading only summaries of novels. You don't get the feel for the different styles.
Still, there are some delightful blogs out there. Here is one on the finale of Project Runway. Spot some of classical elements of the prize: the scripted squabble, the moments of intimate confession, the celebrity judging.
