PGA gets first crack at Emmy credits - Variety

ATAS, PGA to collaborate on deciding eligibility

The Academy of TV Arts and Sciences has formally pacted with the Producers Guild of America to help determine Emmy eligibility.
As expected, the TV Acad’s board of governors addressed the issue at its regular meeting Wednesday night (Daily Variety, Jan. 22). Under the arrangement, the PGA will take first crack at coming up with a list of which producers should be considered for an Emmy in the program (including drama and comedy) categories.

The PGA has provided a similar service to the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences and the Hollywood Foreign Press Assn.

“The Producers Guild is committed to truth and transparency in producing credits, and is proud to collaborate with all industry organizations that share its core belief: That producing credits must faithfully reflect the producing work done,” the guild said in a statement.
