Longform Performing Categories to Consolidate
The category consolidation will begin with the 2013 Primetime Emmys. At that time, the number of nominees will increase to six.
The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ Board of Governors has voted to approve a recommendation by the Performers Peer Group and the Primetime Awards Committee to consolidate the longform performers categories beginning with the 2013 Primetime Emmy Awards.
This will combine both lead and supporting performers into a single category for longform programming.
The consolidated categories (now titled Outstanding Actor in a Miniseries or Movie and Outstanding Actress in a Miniseries or Movie) will include six nominees each. (Longform performing categories previously had five nominees.)
Adding a sixth nominee will provide consistency with the number of nominees in the other performer categories.
