EMMY WATCH 2012
Exclusive: Pre-Nom Ballot Revealed! Reel Info! Deadlines Revisited! Lifetime Achievement Award Chosen! Ceremony at the Beverly Hilton Hotel?
We’re getting closer to the gold: The Emmy pre-nom ballot is in — and was made accessible to voters last week. The early deadline for the 2-minute reels was Dec. 22, but most actors and shows were given until Jan. 24 to submit. However, crews (like hair and makeup) will be allowed until Feb. 17 to submit their reels.
Great News: UNCENSORED has exclusively obtained the complete pre-nom ballot — and their submissions! Because we’re like that.
Also, a NATAS insider reveals that a Lifetime Achievement Award recipient has already been chosen. I hope it’s Susan Lucci!
As for the ceremony, if there are no takers in the broadcast arena, Melody Thomas Scott told TV GUIDE: “I was unofficially told that if nobody picks up the awards to televise them they are going to be held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. Which is a great room, cameras or no cameras.”
Below is the letter NATAS voting members have received:
You are required to choose 10 performers from each of the six categories. This means that you are reviewing and evaluating the quality of work from all drama shows, not just your own show(s). You may make your selections either by clicking on the box to the left of the control number (which will mark the box with an “X”), or by marking the ballot manually.
The Pre-Nomination judging period for major categories ends today. Pre-noms announced March 2. Final nominations are announced May 4.
In the past couple of weeks, UNCENSORED revealed Lead Actor, Actress and Supporting Actress reels; today, we’re sharing Supporting Actor choice.
