The WGA has called out the Television Academy for making the “regrettable decision” to cut the “Outstanding Writing for a Variety Series/Special” category from the Primeimte Emmy Awards telecast.
“[The Television Academy] did this without any justification or defensible reason,” several members of the guild’s leadership — including WGA West President Meredith Stiehm and WGA West board member Adam Conover — wrote in an email to its members obtained by TheWrap. “The Guild has been in touch with the Academy to convey our objection to this decision, and we are strongly advocating to have the category remain in the primetime televised program on January 15, 2024.”
