It’s the artisans’ time to shine. Emmy For Your Consideration campaigning continues to be limited by the simultaneous WGA and SAG-AFTRA strikes, as actors currently aren’t allowed to speak about projects they’ve been involved with and showrunners/writers can talk to the press but can’t participate in anything underwritten by studios and networks.
For those of us who write about the industry, it’s been a bit of a challenge finding ways to still cover the Emmy Awards, especially as Phase 2 voting got underway on Aug. 17. My colleague Emily Longeretta, who oversees our special Emmy extra editions, has gotten creative in turning some of our podcast interviews into stories, for example, and relying on other approaches to covering nominated shows and talent.
It’s a tricky time even for the reps. That’s because what writers can or can’t do when it comes to press is still a bit hazy. As best we understand it, writers can talk as long as the media appearance has not been arranged by the PR apparatus at a struck company. It all depends on how comfortable the individual writer is — and there’s been a lot of back and forth. Perhaps not a video, but a story is fine. Or a podcast is OK… as long as a studio isn’t sponsoring that episode.
The current WGA and SAG-AFTRA work stoppage has hit the crafts community especially hard, which makes it all the more important to celebrate their work. And in the absence of panels featuring actors or writers, most recent events have been thrown to spotlight picture editors, effects pros, costume designers, make-up supervisors, production designers, casting directors, hairstylists, composers, cinematographers, sound editors and many more.
