Adam Bowie, in part, today (7/17): > > - The Variety (Special) Live award. Is this a category purposefully built > to hand out awards to other awards shows? Only the Emmys themselves don't > seem to be on the list! I would argue that if this isn't a broad enough > category to include a wider variety of shows, then it should be replaced by > something more useful (e.g. New drama series). > > This category has been here since the 90s, evolving from the Special Class awards... non-awards ceremonies have been up for them, e.g. *Live from Lincoln Center / Great Performances *entries, multiple Olympics opening ceremonies, even that Louis CK special from 2012... many of those "_____ LIVE!" things networks HAD to undertake, got nominated...
- Structured v Unstructured Reality Programs. I'd love to see the > definitions for this, since while series like Deadliest Catch or Ru Paul's > Drag Race are considered "unstructured" I'm pretty sure they're heavily > "structured" in their production. > > From the Academy's manual... https://www.emmys.com/sites/default/files/Downloads/2019-rules-procedures-v6.pdf (link) Structured: "For programs that contain consistent story elements that mostly adhere to a recurring structured template" Unstructured: "For programs that contain story elements driven by the actions of characters and lacking a consistent structured template" My way of telling them apart is, if the issues in any one episode are addressed within that episode, it's structured.
