Emmy nominees are making final campaign appearances before voting opens, with the Television Academy’s three-day Televerse event bringing together stars and creatives from many nominated programmes in Los Angeles. The gathering underlines how competitive Emmy campaigning has become, particularly for streamers, as nominees seek visibility with voters ahead of the awards.

Voting runs from 17 to 26 August, before the Creative Arts Emmys over Labour Day weekend and the main Primetime Emmy ceremony on 14 September, when 19 categories will be presented. Televerse will feature panels for shows including Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Hacks, Shrinking, The Pitt and Survivor, while pass-holders can enter daily draws for Emmy tickets; the column also notes controversy over moving several limited-series and variety awards off the televised ceremony.
