Now that the Best TV Movie category has jumped ship from the Primetime Emmys to the Creative Arts Emmys, it’s time to update your predictions at Gold Derby. In our predictions center you can make your picks for the 26 Emmy categories that will be presented live on NBC on September 17, as well as 25 different races that’ll be handed out the prior weekend at two Creative Arts events.
This year’s nominees for Best TV Movie are “Black Mirror: USS Callister” (Netflix), “Fahrenheit 451” (HBO), “Flint” (Lifetime), “Paterno” (HBO) and “The Tale” (HBO). The winner will be announced Saturday, September 8, where trophies will be presented for scripted programming including comedy, drama, limited series and animation. On Sunday, September 9, categories related to documentary, reality and variety programming will be awarded.
No reason was given for the switcheroo, though this is the second time in four years that Best TV Movie was moved off the main telecast. Back in 2015 “Bessie” prevailed at the Creative Arts Emmys. Following that victory, “Sherlock: The Abominable Bride” (2016) and “Black Mirror: San Junipero” (2017) were both announced at the live Primetime ceremony.
