Emmy Podcast #13: Emmy Submission Ballots, Guest/Writing/Directing Categories
The submission ballots for the 2016 Emmys are in and voting has begun. This podcast I have brought back Vox.com culture editor Todd VanDerWerff and AwardsWatch Emmy Experts Jonathan Boehle to break down some of the submission list, concentrating on the Guest, Writing and Directing categories since those give us actual episodes before the nominations are announced.
We also talk a bit about how/if the new rules enacted this (and last) year will affect the upcoming batch of nominees and dig a bit deeper into categories like Drama Series and Lead Actor in a Drama Series as well as venture into the issue of race and awards. After two years of #OscarsSoWhite, are the Emmys much farther ahead on this? Will the Emmy success of black-ish, Master of None, Roots and The People vs O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story be the story of the day come nominations next month?
Oh and, of course, The Americans and The Leftovers get an Emmy push from us.
All this and much more on this issue of the AwardsWatch Emmy Podcast.
