The Emmy nomination voting has closed, and while Academy members had the opportunity to vote for the best in television, many admitted to not watching enough shows to make informed decisions. With over 228 series vying for attention, voters often rely on a limited selection of what they've seen. One Academy member criticized the current voting process as flawed, contrasting it with the more engaged system of the Tony Awards, where voters must see everything due to a smaller nominating committee. This reflects the time constraints faced by voters.
"It's a flawed system," our voter told us, contrasting the Emmy voting with the recent Tony Awards. "The Tonys have a small nominating committee, and you have to see everything."
At the nomination stage, Emmy voters can vote in the program categories and within their peer groups, which can limit their overall perspective.
A heavy majority of TV Academy members are voting off a limited set of TV shows due to the overwhelming number of series submitted for contention.
This isn't scandalous; it's a factor of human nature and the limited number of hours in a day.
