ATAS Sets Up New Emmy Categories

In a move to expand its recognition of two key peer groups, the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has established separate series and specials categories for both the Outstanding Directing and Writing Emmys for a Variety, Music or Comedy (VMC) Program.

"The Television Academy's Board of Governors, writers and directors peer groups have long wanted to see separate competitions for the VMC series and specials," said Television Academy Chairman-CEO John Shaffner. "Now, writers and directors working on both VMC series and specials will take part in competitions that recognize the creative challenges posed by each format, as well as the talent required and accomplishments possible in both the series and specials categories."
