We ran through the important dates in the history of the Emmy Awards in our previous article. The Primetime Emmys remains the ‘marquee show’ amid an almost impossible to quantify array of technical awards, news awards, regional awards, documentary awards, etc. The show first aired in 1949 and has been an annual event ever since.
Until 1974 the prime time shows were honored in an event called simply the ‘Emmy Awards’. That was before a dedicated show and ceremony was created to honor daytime programming like soap operas and game shows. Thus the ‘Daytime Emmys’ were born forcing this show to become the ‘Primetime Emmy Awards. Despite a dramatically changing broadcasting environment the Emmy Awards solider on honoring the best in prime time television.
THE HIGHEST QUALITY TELEVISION IN HISTORY?
While the legacy broadcast networks are trying to find a foothold in the new digital world all around them producers are creating a ton of great TV programming. There may be more quality TV programming on now than at any point in history. Take a look at the names on the nominee lists–there’s dozens of high Q score ‘A Listers’ that twenty years ago wouldn’t have touched television unless it was the only thing standing between them and financial insolvency. Today, it’s not only a completely acceptable career move for an actor it actually has its own cachet.
CELEBRATION OF TELEVISION EXCELLENCE:
In this series of articles we’ll look at the long list of potential nominees in the major categories and set some prices on which ones will be selected to compete for the Emmy Award therein. Nominations are announced on July 13, 2017 with the awards broadcast hosted by Steven Colbert set for September 17, 2017. For those of you scoring at home, a ‘Limited Series’ is what we used to call a ‘miniseries’ back in the day. According to Emmy rules it must consist of two or more episodes of at least 150 minutes in length and tell a complete closed ended story:
