TV Academy Reverses Consolidation Of TV Movie & Miniseries Acting Categories
This year’s 65th Primetime Emmy Awards were supposed to introduce a smaller longform field after the Academy Of Television Arts & Sciences last year voted to consolidate the Best Lead and Supporting actor and actress categories for miniseries and TV movies, reducing the total number of longform acting categories from four to two starting with the 2013 Emmys. But tonight, the TV Academy Board voted to reverse the consolidation, reinstating the longform lead and supporting categories in this year’s competition. The TV Academy cited “the unanticipated resurgence of television miniseries and movies” for its decision to keep the existing number of longform categories. The backtracking is surprising since reducing the those categories was the first major Emmy rule change under TV Academy chairman Bruce Rosenblum.
The consolidation decision had been driven mainly by the dwindling pool of longform programming on TV, especially miniseries, which led to the merging of the best TV movie and miniseries categories in 2011 following two consecutive years of only two best miniseries nominees. But miniseries/limited 
series have enjoyed a resurgence in the past couple of years, ranking as the most watched cable entertainment telecasts of 2012 (History’s Hatfields & McCoys) and ever (2013 (History’s The Bible). The field also was joined by such hits as Downton Abbey, which started off in the longform category before moving to drama series, and FX’s anthology American Horror Story. And with Fox and FX making a major push in limited-event series, there will be even more contenders joining traditional longorm Emmy frontrunner HBO, which just saw its original movie Behind The Candelabra selected to compete for the Palme d’Or at the Cannes Film Festival. While the consolidation of the longform acting categories is being nixed, the best longform category (movie/miniseries) remains combined. Read More »

EMMYS: Let The Episode Submissions End
Deadline TV contributor Diane Haithman files this report:
Let the countdown to the Emmys begin. That is, if the TV Academy can stop blurring what’s a final, final, final deadline for Emmy submissions. As of May 31, 2011, all TV programs should have been submitted to the Academy Of Television Arts & Sciences for nomination consideration for the 2011 Emmy Awards. Programs airing between June 20, 2010, and May 31, 2011, are eligible for submission. An exception is made for series that have new episodes airing between May 31 and June 24, 2011, which are also eligible. And since there’s no downside to entering their own show -– or, for that matter, themselves in an individual category –- almost everybody does it. The nominations will be announced July 14. “It’s important to be on the ballot,” says John Leverence, the TV Academy’s VP of Awards. “It is reviewed by more than 14,000 members of the Academy. These are your industry peers, even if you are doing a show that might not have a snowball’s chance in hell.”
But “all TV programs” does not mean “all TV episodes.” For two of Emmy’s highest-profile categories, Drama Series and Comedy Series, there is a lot of wiggle room timewise. All that was required on April 29, 2011, was a submission of the series as a “body of work” by its title. DVDs of the actual episodes to be considered for the series award — six episodes per show — did not have to be submitted until May 13, meaning that many producers spent an additional few weeks in the agonizing process of choosing their best work.
And, if any of the six episodes chosen by the producer is airing after May 13, all the TV Academy asks is that the DVD of the missing episode be sent in as soon as it has aired. Until May 31, series producers may yank an episode or episodes from the chosen six and replace them with something else. But there is yet another window for changing the episode selections just prior to the actual nominations announcement, which includes the chosen series but not the episode choices. Then that’s it for artistic indecision. “We need the choices by the time of the nomination announcement because we have to make a very fast turnaround to replicate thousands of DVDs for the Blue Ribbon [final judging] panelists,” explains Julie Shore, the TV Academy’s Director of Prime Time Emmy Awards.
The TV Academy instructs voters to make selections on the merits of one program or set of episodes. “I think to the outside world it looks like an objective evaluation of quality, but it’s not,” insists Mike Schur, showrunner for the NBC comedy Parks and Recreation, which he created with Greg Daniels and which has yet to win an Emmy. ”It’s about trends, and what gets hot, and what’s on the magazine cover at the right time.” Read More »

Emmys: So Many Awards, So Little Time
Ray Richmond in contributing to Deadline’s Emmy and TCA coverage.
Primetime Emmy executive producer Don Mischer expressed some frustration at a TCA session hyping NBC’s 62nd Primetime Emmy Awards telecast: so many awards and so little time. “We’ve got to hand out 27 of them in 2 hours, 6 minutes, and 54 seconds — and we’re already running over,” he said. 
Mischer was responding to questions about categories already moved from the primetime telecast to the Creative Arts Ceremony eight days before. This includes the top reality host competition as well as writers and directors of comedy, variety and music series. All had been included in 2009 but will now be out of the telecast in favor of writers and directors for specials.
“We also have included the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award for the first time in six years,” Mischer added, “which will take another five minutes during the telecast.” (George Clooney will be receiving it.) Mischer maintained that he and the telecast don’t have nearly as much flexibility as people imagine. “On the longform awards, for example, we didn’t have the option of shifting the writers and directors for contractual reasons. And we really didn’t want to think about taking the made-for-TV movie or miniseries award out. The reality host award was one we didn’t have a commitment to in terms of keeping it in the telecast.” Read More »
