"With so much change at hand these days, it's reassuring to note one very important constant: the consistent quality of the work being done every day by the talented and hard-working individuals of our creative communities. It's our honor tonight – and each year – to shine the Emmy spotlight on the truly excellent work that we have all enjoyed over the past year," said Terry O'Reilly, Chairman, NATAS.

"Those who shine a light on inconvenient truths, give voice to the voiceless, or simply report documented facts are far too often punished through efforts to demonize and delegitimize such essential work. On these two nights, we do the vital opposite. The Emmys® celebrate those who face these headwinds to bring important stories to our screens and, in turn, provide a vision of excellence that inspires the next generation to follow," said Adam Sharp, NATAS CEO & President.
