Emmy 'For Your Consideration' events will take place without an audience, owing to health concerns surrounding the coronavirus.
“It will be a different Emmy season,” TV Academy President and COO Maury McIntyre said in a phone interview. “The FYC campaign season is a pretty big deal for television, so we were trying to find a way to allow productions that want to do those kinds of things to still get them to the members.”
The FYC events, held at the academy’s 595-seat Wolf Theatre in its North Hollywood headquarters as well as theaters in New York and the Los Angeles area, are a way for networks and streaming platforms to engage Emmy voters, reminding them to consider their shows — or simply to remember they exist. Typically, the events feature a panel with the show’s cast and creators, along with a buffet afterward.
“We have to respect if talent feels uncomfortable just being in a room with other talent,” McIntyre said. “That’s what it’s going to come down to, and whatever they decide, we’ll honor and respect that.”“If by some miracle the virus has stopped its spread in the next month or so, we will revisit and see if there’s a way to do a more truncated events season if the industry is interested in that,” McIntyre said.
Today’s announcement follows an earlier academy edict that banned autographs, selfies and other audience interactions with event panelists. McIntyre said that call, made six days ago, was the “least problematic decision we made.” Today’s announcement has large reverberations and small ones too. Some Television Academy members brag that from March to June, they never have to dine at home.“I was telling our [chief marketing officer] that we need to have a partnership with Domino’s,” McIntyre said. “Sit down, watch the livestreams and order your Domino’s.”
