In a surprising turn, this year’s Emmy nominations overlooked leading digital creators who’ve been reshaping entertainment norms. YouTube sensations like “Hot Ones,” “Chicken Shop Date,” and “Good Mythical Morning” were notably absent, despite their significant impact. “Hot Ones,” known for its spicy celebrity interviews, aimed for a nod in the outstanding talk series category, while “Chicken Shop Date” and “Good Mythical Morning” anticipated recognition in short form categories. Hosts Sean Evans, Rhett & Link, and Amelia Dimoldenberg have expressed aspirations for Emmy recognition, reflecting a push for digital content to be acknowledged alongside traditional TV. Despite YouTube not submitting entries this year, CEO Neal Mohan has advocated for digital creators to be seen as independent studios reshaping storytelling, urging the Television Academy to evolve with modern culture.
