Surprise: another Emmys already?

For more casual TV enthusiasts, this new batch of Emmy nominations may bring a sense of deja vu, given that the 75th Emmy Awards were held just six months ago, this past January. That was the result of Hollywood’s lengthy labor dispute last year, when both the WGA and SAG were on strike throughout the summer, disrupting both TV production and the regular awards calendar. This year, things are back to normal with a September ceremony, but the schedule might still be confusing. For instance, remember The Bear’s major sweep? Yeah, that was all for Season 1; the even more critically lauded Season 2 is eligible this time around, so it will likely be served up just as many trophies.
