Emmys Update Submission Rules Ahead of Voting, Lowering Threshold Required for Nom and Invites Members to Join Jury for Scripted Variety


The Emmys have updated its rules for submissions, which could benefit contenders in scripted variety such as 'Saturday Night Live.'

Instead, it will compete in outstanding structured reality program alongside its streaming counterparts, “Love Is Blind” and last year’s winner “Queer Eye.” A notable issue that’s been bubbling the past few weeks is not having a specific peer-group for “scripted variety.” Traditionally, this category is one of 17 races that are voted on by the entire membership, not a particular group. This would be a significant decrease that could potentially yield only three nominees with names like Jimmy Kimmel, Seth Meyers, John Mulaney and Stephen Colbert in the running.
