Greg Berlanti to Receive TV Academy’s Governors Award at This Year’s Emmys


Megaproducer Greg Berlanti has been tapped to receive this year's Governors Award at the Emmys, the Television Academy announced Thursday.

“Greg is an extraordinary creator, who consistently delivers characters and stories that are in dialogue with the real world,” said TV Academy chair Cris Abrego in a statement. “From the beginning of his career, his commitment to representing three-dimensional LGBTQ+ characters in particular has paved the way for greater cultural understanding and acceptance of a community that is often under attack in both social and political discourse. In naming Berlanti, the TV Academy noted his role as creator, writer and executive producer on more than 45 television shows, including “Political Animals,” “Arrow,” “Blindspot,” “The Flash,” “Supergirl,” “Everwood,” “You,” “Titans,” “Riverdale,” “Doom Patrol,” “All American,” “Found” and “The Flight Attendant.”
