The TV Academy Was Smart to Ban Oscar Nominees from Emmys, But Should Go Further

.scottfeinberg: the TV Academy was smart to ban Oscar nominees from Emmys, but should go further

With the line separating film from TV blurrier than ever, the TV Academy should be commended for taking steps to clarify the difference, as it did inthat, starting in March 2021, projects that have received an Oscar nomination will no longer be eligible for an Emmy nomination. In other words, the next set of Oscar nominees will be ineligible to join the first set of Emmy nominees announced after that .

And besides, why should a project that deserved an Oscar nomination but for inexplicable reasons didn't get one, such as 2017's, be Emmy-eligible, but another project that deserved an Oscar nomination and did get one, such as 2017's, not be? Both were documentaries that received substantial theatrical releases before going on TV, and should therefore be regarded as films, period.

If a doc is required to receive a proper theatrical release and to risk being Emmy-ineligible in order to be Oscar-eligible, only the most outstanding docs would be entered for Oscars, as opposed to the hundreds that are currently submitted each year by creators who see no downside to throwing their hat in the ring.
