The TV Academy probably should take another look at the categories for its Primetime Emmy Awards, academy chairman/CEO Bruce Rosenblum told TV critics this morning at Summer TV Press Tour 2014 after TV critics began to flog him and the academy for not doing a better job “policing” categories in which series and actors are competing. TV critics nicked him for a number of this year’s nominees — one TV critic, for instance, noted, “it’s nice Treme got nominated, but its in the miniseries category and it’s been on the air about five years.” Another expressed disbelief the academy would let Shameless submit itself for consideration as a comedy series for a season that included a storyline “in which a baby overdoses on cocaine.” And harsh words were said about “certain” actors who’d submitted themselves as guest stars “even though they have regular series contracts.” Plenty more where that came from. “I wouldn’t refer to it as policing,” Rosenblum said in response to one TV critics’ suggestion the academy needed to do just that — and with an iron fist, to eliminate all the category rannygazoo.
