The Prime­time Emmy rules state that in a juried award, all entrants are screened by a jury of pro­fes­sion­als in the peer group, with the pos­si­bil­ity of one, more than one or no entry being awarded an Emmy. There are no nominations. The win­ners, if any, are announced prior to the awards pre­sen­ta­tion. Delib­er­a­tions are an open dis­cus­sion of the work of each entrant, with a thor­ough review of the mer­its of award­ing the Emmy. At the con­clu­sion of the delib­er­a­tion on each entry, the jury votes on the ques­tion, “Is this entry wor­thy of an Emmy award — yea or nay?” Only those in unan­i­mous approval win.

These awards will be handed out dur­ing the Cre­ative Arts Emmy Awards on Sat­ur­day, Sep­tem­ber 15 at the Nokia The­atre in Los Ange­les. They will be taped for a two-hour, edited ver­sion which will air Sat­ur­day, Sep­tem­ber 22 at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Reelz Channel. For more infor­ma­tion, visit www.emmys.com.
