Emmy nominations set to be race between old favorites
LOS ANGELES (AFP) — Television industry watchers are expecting past winners to relive old glories on Friday as Hollywood’s awards season kicks into high gear with the announcement of the Emmy nominations.
The Television Academy’s 22,000-plus members were given two weeks in June to sift through a crowded field of several thousand entries for the small-screen equivalent of the Oscars.
Critics agree that it hasn’t been a vintage year for new TV, with very few shows breaking through. Still, perennial favorites have largely delivered and the medium continues to out-innovate cinema.
