The TV Academy had nothing to do with the “Sex Education” move into drama. That was strictly a choice by Netflix.

I should be getting their full campaign soon. We met at their offices a few weeks ago, and it’s certainly a high priority for them.

Programs airing outside of prime-time can’t compete at the Golden Globes or SAG Awards.

Catherine the Great is on the official Academy calendar for an FYC event in May. HBO has not updated us or given a debut date, but they have also not contacted us to remove it from the predictions center. The FYC event being scheduled is a sign that it will be eligible for 2019 but it could also still be tentative while they decide.
