The restructuring of the various Emmy Awards continues apace, with oversight of the Outstanding Game Show and Outstanding Host of a Game Show categories shifting from the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences to the Television Academy.

In December, the organizations shared that categories within the respective ceremonies would be realigned, with series competing based on genre and not time slot. The move saw scripted dramas and comedies competing regardless of when they aired — save for “multi-camera, weekday daily serial, spin-off or reboot” series — with shows intended for younger audiences, specifically 15 and under, competing in the Children’s and Family races, now honored in a separate ceremony hosted by NATAS.
