Television Academy Scales Back Emmy Awards By Limiting Nominees Who Can Attend

The decision will impact shows with the most nominations spread across a variety of categories, shows like, all shows that have 20 or more nods. It will also impact writing staffs as well as late-night series as those shows typically see huge groups of nominated talent attending.

Also revealed today, the TV Academy has opted to move all ceremonies to the event deck at L.A. Live, located directly behind the Microsoft Theater, as a way to utilize an “indoor/outdoor” setting that can accommodate more socially distant seating. The space is what the TV Academy typically used for its post-show Governors Ball celebrations but those after parties have been scrapped this year due to the ongoing pandemic.

The move comes amid rising COVID-19 concerns and infections due to the delta variant, which was cited as part of Tuesday’s release. “The health and safety of our nominees is of paramount importance,” the TV Academy continued in its statement. “Conversations are ongoing, and we will provide further information as it is available.”

Last week, the TV Academy noted that a “very limited” red carpet will greet attendees when they arrive to the show with approximately a dozen or so outlets credentialed to cover talent arrivals and interview nominees on-site. It’s unclear what outlets will be selected as the application process will happen in the coming days.

The Grammys did a great job and make a good model to follow vs the Oscars which was boring as hell.

scale it back to zero nominations & zero categories cause nobody cares anymore.
