Daytime Emmy Nominations for IndieWire Craft Roundtables

The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences recognized the Craft Roundtables series in two technical categories. According to IndieWire, the nominations specifically target the Directing and Editing disciplines within the Daytime Studio Non-Fiction category.

This marks the first time the Craft Roundtables series has been nominated for the awards. The series focuses on the technical aspects of filmmaking and television production, bringing together industry professionals to discuss the specific tools and techniques used in their respective fields.

Context of the Craft Roundtables Series

The Craft Roundtables were developed as a specialized content vertical by IndieWire to bridge the gap between high-level artistic discussion and technical execution. By focusing on the non-fiction studio format, the series allows editors and directors to break down the workflows of professional productions.

The Daytime Emmy Awards typically honor excellence in daytime programming, including talk shows, court shows, and non-fiction series. The inclusion of the Craft Roundtables in the Studio Non-Fiction category places the digital series alongside traditional broadcast and cable daytime productions.
