Emmys: Nominated Choreographers To Create Number, Plus Reality Host Award to Creative Ceremony

emmy208With the Emmys airing next month on CBS, producer Ken Ehrlich is plotting a number of firsts that will grace the awards show on September 22. For the first time in Emmy history, the nominated choreographers will join forces to create a unique dance number that will feature host Neil Patrick Harris. The news comes not so long after Harris’s much talked about opening Tony Awards number.

In another first, the award for Choreographer will be handed out during the main Primetime telecast and not during the Creative Emmys, as has been tradition. Shifting from the Primetime telecast to the Creative Emmys to make room for the Choreography award will be the Reality Host category. “This came about because we wanted to look for another way to involve our host, our friend Mr. Harris,” said Ehrlich. “I was thinking about what we could do with him that would be different or unusual and exciting,” added Ehrlich. “The idea of having him interact with these choreographers and dancers in this number just became something that was so attractive we couldn’t pass it up.”

This move is only for this year’s telecast, as next year’s producer could opt to do something entirely different or follow in what may become a new tradition. Derek Hough (Dancing With the Stars), Allison Holker (So You Think You Can Dance alum, nominee for Dancing With the Stars) will join forces with So You Think You Can Dance choreographers Sonya Tayeh, Tabitha & Napolean Duomo, Mandy Moore and Travis Wall for the special number. While it has not yet been announced who will perform, the option for the choreographers to grace the stage is on the table. The work going into the number will be used as a documentary of sorts during the Primetime Emmy telecast.

Each choreographer has been given the option to invite two dancers to participate in the number. Ehrlich also made a point to note that this number will not open the show, but rather be placed later in the telecast. As for the Reality Show Host award being handed out at the Creative Emmys ceremony, the winner will be a presenter during the Primetime Telecast and receive proper recognition for their award.

65th Primetime Emmy Awards: And The Nominees Are …

emmy208Early Thursday morning, Aaron Paul (“Breaking Bad”) and this year’s Emmy Awards host, Neil Patrick Harris, announced the nominees for the upcoming 65th Primetime Emmys. “American Horror Story: Asylum” snagged the most nods, totaling at 17 with “Game of Thrones” close behind at 16. HBO totaled 108 nominations, with CBS and NBC coming in second with 53.

Of note, “30 Rock,” “Modern Family,” and “The Big Bang Theory” lead the comedy nomination tally. On the reality front, Cat Deeley and “So You Think You Can Dance” snagged a 7 total nominations, including Best Reality Competition, alongside “The Voice,” “Dancing With the Stars,” “The Amazing Race,” “Project Runway,” and “Top Chef.” Among the many snubs, Tatiana Maslany of BBC America’s “Orphan Black” is arguably on top of that list, along with “The Walking Dead” Andrew Lincoln and others.

The Emmys will broadcast LIVE from Los Angeles on Sept 22 on CBS! Check out the list of the major categories below. For a full list of technical Emmys, check Emmys.com

64th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards: And The Emmy Goes To …

Earlier tonight in Los Angeles, the 2012 Emmys were handed out in Primetime TV’s biggest night. Hosted by the ever entertaining Jimmy Kimmell, the awards proved to be quite an interesting evening. From hot and cold comedic moments (Tracy Morgan?) to panning of the same handful of faces in the audience (hello again, Clare Danes), there were a few surprises tonight (Damien Lewis), a couple snubs (Cat Deeley! Jim Parons! Bryan Cranston?) and a few of “oh ya, we predicted that” moments. Homeland won big in the Drama category, while Modern Family snagged quite a few comedic accolades early on. What did you think about tonight’s awards and the winners (or losers)? Sound off!
