It’s going to start feeling like an avalanche of Emmys here soon, and this is the first of wave.
NBC’s Zoey’s Extraordinary Playlist and YouTube’s Create Together were among the winners of juried categories for this year’s honors. Unlike the nominees that were announced earlier this summer, these categories don’t have nominations announced. All entries are screened by a peer group in the respective field and a winner is selected. Choreographer Mandy Moore (not that Mandy Moore) picked up her third Emmy, and Joseph Gordon-Levitt won in the Innovation in Interactive Programming category.
“Emmy Week” (as Team ADTV has been calling it) will run from September 14-19 and will be hosted by Emmy nominee Nicole Byer. The awards for these particular categories will be handed out on September 17.
