The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) has announced its nominees for the 2022 Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards, which will be presented in two different categories: News on Sept. 28 at 7:30 p.m. ET, and documentary on Sept. 29.
Both ceremonies will take place at the Palladium Times Square in New York City.
”At a time when critical, monumental, and world-changing events are more immediately available and accessible than ever before, the work of the journalists and documentarians that bring us the truth of these stories is under tremendous assault. We honor these individuals’ courage and excellence of craft that allows each of us to be better informed and understanding of the issues of our day,” says Adam Sharp, NATAS President & CEO.
64 categories were announced on Thursday, and the National Academy will also give out two Lifetime Achievement Awards to Judy Woodruff, anchor and managing editor of PBS NewsHour for news, and Sir David Attenborough, biologist, humanist and filmmaker for documentary.
See below for the full list of nominations.
