Apple’s Emmy historical past
Apple TV+ marked a milestone in 2023, earning an impressive tally of Emmy nominations, although accurately calculating the exact figure remains a daunting task due to the sheer complexity of the process. The Emmy categories allow for Apple TV+ productions to be considered, including co-productions where Apple may or may not receive credit, as well as commercials for Apple products, which are technically nominated in their capacity as advertising production teams.
In the last 12 months, Apple decided to forgo sponsoring the Super Bowl halftime show, despite earning five notable nominations. Questions surrounding Emmy Awards become even more complex due to the proliferation of multiple ceremonies, including a craft and technical event as well as a Kids’ & Family category where Apple has made significant inroads.
Despite this, the Emmys are widely regarded as the primary and most esteemed awards in the industry, being presented right now. The acclaimed series “Ted Lasso” swept the awards circuit, dominating its respective comedy categories, despite its concluding episodes airing outside the eligibility window for the newly announced Emmys.
Awards Ceremony particulars
The nominees for the 76th Emmy Awards were announced by a distinguished trio: actors Tony Hale and Sheryl Lee Ralph, alongside TV Academy Chair Cris Abrego. The awards ceremony is set to take place on September 16th and will likely air live on ABC.
