The Emmys have bad news for actors in TV movies and miniseries, but good news for folks who specialize in primetime pratfalls.
The Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, which presents the annual Primetime Emmy Awards, has posted its 2012-2013 rules on its website, detailing a few changes in the Emmy landscape that affect the supporting categories in the movie or miniseries genre, stunt coordinators and interactive content.
The biggest change is one that was announced last May: The Emmys are downsizing the miniseries-or-movie acting categories, combining the lead and supporting actor and actress awards.
The move, the Television Academy’s senior vice president of awards, John Leverence, told TheWrap this week, is part of an overall tightening caused by the decline in the miniseries genre.
