The Emmys will eliminate DVD screeners for the 2020 awards, the Television Academy announced on Friday.
The move makes the Emmys the first major awards show to do away with the screener DVDs that have become ubiquitous during both Emmy and Oscar season over the past two decades. In their place, the Television Academy will allow the screening of eligible programs on digital platforms hosted by networks and production companies, as well as on the Academy’s viewing platform for members.
The Academy Awards have also introduced a secure viewing site for members, but its voters have the option to receive DVD screeners as well. Film companies are permitted to make two versions of each film available to members, one a physical copy and one a streaming link.
