Emmy Nominations Unveiled;
gingerman28:
And, thank goodness, no Big Bother either.
In all the other Reality-Competition nominees including American Idol and Dancing with the Stars (each a much bigger and more popular series than TAR) the competitors are eliminated by votes of fellow participants (Survivor, Big Bother), judges, or viewers at home (and there is very little control on the number of votes cast). In TAR the teams are eliminated by their own mistakes or lack of skill and no "voting" takes place. This makes TAR a much more realistic reality competition and leads to their string of Emmy wins.

Well we lost two so far (and that better be it).
Sound Editing went to Planet Earth (which in all fairness is an exceptional program) Pole to Pole.
We also lost Sound Mixing to American Master: THe House that Ahmet Built (oof which I hve no knowledge on).
apskip:
"The House that Ahmet Built" was an American Masters special about Ahmet Ertegun just after he died. He was the cofounder of Atlantic Records. The Atlantic Sound, which sprang from the small record label Ertegun co-founded in 1947, "was a revolutionary new genre, single-handedly influencing the future direction of contemporary music."

Thanks apskip, I really had no idea. It actually sounds very interesting.
