The Times, Gainesville, Georgia | gainesvilletimes.com 2A Thursday, April 13, 2023 Awards focus means a deluge of quality TV across all sources COLIN HUTTON I Apple TV+ via AP This image released by Apple TV+ shows Jason Sudeikis, from left, James Lance, Brendan Hunt and Brett Goldstein in a scene from “Ted Lasso.” BY ALICIA RANCILIO Associated Press Picture May 17, 2001. In the final seconds of the season seven finale of “Friends,” Jennifer Anis- ton’s Rachel reveals she’s pregnant — but who’s the father? This was a classic May sweeps cliffhanger, luring viewers and reap ing advertising dollars for NBC. Most shows used to kick off in the fall, air big episodes in November and February, and go out with a bang in May. Baby announcements, marriage proposals and sudden deaths were just a few of the popular plot twists used in spring season finales to hook viewers and build anticipation for the fall season. Network television still largely follows that model, but the streamers and pre mium cable competitors of the new guard tend to oper ate with different goals. Rather than angling for ratings, those companies are releasing new seasons of popular TV shows — “Ted Lasso,” “Succession,” “The Mandalorian,” “ The Last of Us,” and “ Yellow- jackets “ — with an eye to Primetime Emmy Award recognition. Everyone wants to be fresh in the minds of vot ers, said Joyce Eng, a senior editor of the Holly wood awards-centric web site Gold Derby. “A lot of networks, streamers and campaign ers will capitalize on recency bias,” she said. For a TV series to be eligible for a Primetime Emmy, it must air between June 1 and May 31 of the following year. Six episodes of a returning season need to air by May 31 to qualify for a series category. The cast and crew then cross their fingers for nomina tions, which this year will be announced July 12, fol lowed by the Emmy tele cast on Sept. 18, when the awards are handed out. Limited series have to air all their episodes by May 31 in order to be eli gible for nomination. In March, Amazon Prime’s highly anticipated “ Daisy Jones & The Six “ dropped its 10 episodes in four batches. It can be a scramble for shows to finish by the end of May: “Ted Lasso” on Apple TV+ drops its final episode of season three, and maybe the entire series, on May 31. The fifth and final sea son of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” returns on Ama zon on April 14 and swiftly wraps by May 26. If a returning series does not release six episodes of its season by the May 31 deadline, the remaining “hanging” episodes can be nominated in categories that only require a single episode to enter, such as guest actor. Season three of “The Handmaid’s Tale” pre miered June 5, 2019 — which was too late for Emmy eligibility that year. Rather than sit the year out though, “they found a loophole,” Eng said. They submitted three episodes that had aired in 2018 dur ing the previous season for individual achievement categories, and earned 11 nominations. EVENTS Kaya Vineyards Wine Run 5K. 9 a.m. April 13.
