DAYTIME CEREMONY INFORMATION
Please see below for a ROUGH ESTIMATE calendar of dates related to the post-nominations and ceremony production process. Prior to each of the below tasks, SUBMITTERS will receive an email with explicit instructions on how to supply the information we need. This information is communicated to the submitter of the entry, not to each individual nominee (unless otherwise noted).
Red Carpet Credentials Form – CURRENTLY OPEN THROUGH October 13
Click here to apply for red carpet credentials via our PR team at Smithhouse. Application does not mean approval.
Gratis Credits Window – CLOSED
From now through EOD July 21, Orthicon has been re-opened ONLY for the gratis credits window. During this window, you should be making sure your credits are all there, spelled correctly, and their titles are correct. If you erroneously forgot any individuals, now is the time to add them in Orthicon for free.
Starting July 22 through the ceremony date, requested changes are $250 PER CHANGE, so use this time to make sure your credits are accurate as they flow directly to the nominee press release, digital program, and product ordering system.
Additionally, all individual credits must have a unique email, as required by our product vendor. Now is the time to add these individual addresses if you didn’t during the submission period.
Ceremony Clip Updates **FOR CERTAIN INDIVIDUALS ONLY – CLOSED
IF you have a Master Agreement inclusive of Clip Swap Clause OR NATAS emails you identifying an issue with your originally chosen Ceremony Clip, you will have the opportunity to provide an alternative Ceremony Clip through July 26.
Program/Network/Platform/Name Updates – CLOSED
Please review the full nominee list here. Pay close attention to: program name, network, production companies, and (in performance categories) performer name and character name. If there are any corrections, please email them directly to Rachel at rschwartz@theemmys.tv. Do NOT make these corrections in Orthicon as these are immediately impactful to press release.
Credits Verification Fast-Tracking – CLOSED
If you are a nominee in a SERIES category (automatically categories 1-5 and then if you are a Series and NOT a Special and you’re nominated in categories 6-10 and/or 12), as part of the credits verification process you were required to submit BOTH a credits roll or a call sheet AND a letter from the EP. The reason is that each of the individuals listed is required to have worked a minimum of 19% of episodes for eligibility and we need verification of that. This letter should list each individual’s name and title and a statement that the EP is attesting that they all qualify for the minimum of 19% required for Emmy eligibility. It should be signed.
When you are in Orthicon reviewing your credits, check your credits verification document. If you have a credits roll or call sheet AND a letter from an EP together, you are all set. If you have only uploaded one or the other. please submit the documentation into THIS FOLDER. Please label in the following format: Category Number_Program Name. This is ONLY required for 19% categories (categories 1-5 and then categories 6-10 and 12 IF you are a Series). All other categories are either personality or episode-based and do not require this level of documentation.
Pronunciations for VOG Pre-Record – DELAYED
If requested, NATAS will be collecting pronunciations for any names, titles, and producing entities that will be voiced in our pre-recorded nominee packages.
