Emmy Podcast #37: The Limited Series categories [VIDEO]
We’re trying something new for this season of Emmy podcasts, video!
In this first in a series of Emmy video podcasts, AwardsWatch TV Awards Editor Tyler Doster and myself break down the contenders in the Limited Series, Anthology Series or Movie categories. For now, we’re just sticking with the series and acting categories until the official Emmy nominating ballots are revealed on June 17 (the first day of Emmy nomination voting) that will tell us who’s competing for directing and writing slots. That said, many of this season’s limited series’ are singular visions, meaning one director took on the entire show. Whether it’s The Queen’s Gambit, Small Axe, The Underground Railroad or Mare of Easttown, this season has been about sole showrunner vision.
We started with Limited Series simply because it’s the most competitive and by far the most interesting section of the Emmys this year. While the Television Academy expanded the Drama and Comedy series and acting categories, Limited Series stayed the same with just five nominee slots.
How do you think we did, are we on track with our predictions or way off? Sound off in the comments (but, you know, in a nice way).
