LOS ANGELES (AP) — The Emmy Awards competition will be getting fiercer among TV movie and miniseries performers.
The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences said today that it’s merging the leading and supporting acting categories for long-form programming.
Starting with the 2013 awards, new categories for outstanding actor in a miniseries or TV movie and outstanding actress in a miniseries or movie will each include six nominees. Previously, the four movie and miniseries acting categories included five nominees.
