Emmy Awards shake-ups: Plurality vote, shortened seasons redefined, new short form series
7 March 2016 12:24 PM, PST
The Emmys recently announced a slew of rule changes regarding eligibility and voting. The best way to understand what they mean for this year’s races is to consider how they would have affected past ones. -Break- Subscribe to Gold Derby Breaking News Alerts & Experts’ Latest Emmy Predictions Eliminated preferential/ranked voting in the final round Emmys will now be awarded through simple plurality votes instead of preferential ballots, in which voters had ranked all nominees; the winner was the one with the best average.

For example, the Producers Guild and Emmys usually agree on Best Comedy Series, but not last season when the former awarded “Transparent” while the latter went with “Veep.” How much of the “Transparent” loss at the Emmys can be attributed to voters ranking it low because they felt that it was too dramati. »
