'PRIDE: To Be Seen' leads nominees for Outstanding Arts, Culture or Entertainment Coverage at the News & Doc Emmy Awards


I closed 'VICE News Tonight' leads nominations for Outstanding Business, Consumer or Economic Coverage at the News & Doc Emmy Awards on the Autumnal Equinox by writing "I think I'll shift to Outstanding Arts, Culture or Entertainment Coverage tomorrow to make it a proper Sunday entertainment feature." Here are the nominees for that category.
Outstanding Arts, Culture or Entertainment Coverage
20/20 Cinderella: The Reunion ABC
ABC News Soul of a Nation Presents PRIDE: To Be Seen ABC
CNN FlashDocs Taking on Taylor Swift CNN
Nightline What America Owes: The Stolen Generation ABC
VICE News Tonight The Dark Side of Manga Vice
The "PRIDE: To Be Seen" episode of ABC News' Soul of a Nation Presents is the only nominee for this award that also has a nomination in another category, Outstanding Direction: News. All the rest have just this one nomination. On that basis, I'm considering "PRIDE: To Be Seen" to be the favorite. Last year's winner, The New York Times Presents: "Malfunction: The Dressing Down of Janet Jackson" provides very little guidance, weakly supporting the possibility of CNN FlashDocs's "Taking on Taylor Swift" being the main competition for "PRIDE: To Be Seen." That last year's most nominated entry for Outstanding Arts, Culture or Entertainment Coverage, Soul of a Nation: "Tulsa's Buried Truth," didn't win either of its nominated categories supports this possibility as well.

Outstanding Direction: News
ABC News Election Night 2022 ABC
ABC News Soul of a Nation Presents PRIDE: To Be Seen ABC
CBS Saturday MorningDavid Byrne’s American Utopia CBS
Live from the Capitol: January 6th, One Year Later CNN
Soul of a Nation Presents X / o n e r a t e d – The Murder of Malcolm X and 55 Years to Justice ABC
On the other hand, last year's winner of this category, Soul of a Nation: "Juneteenth: Together We Triumph," supports one of the two nominees from Soul of a Nation being the winner. That could just as easily be "X / o n e r a t e d – The Murder of Malcolm X and 55 Years to Justice," which also has two nominations, the other for Outstanding Crime and Justice Coverage. However, I suspect the nominee with the most total nominations, CNN's Live from the Capitol: January 6th, One Year Later, will be the one that actually wins. It earned nominations for Outstanding Live News Special and Technical Excellence: News for three nominations overall. I have a graphic for Outstanding Live News Special and I might use it in one final post about the nominees before the News ceremony on Wednesday, September 27th.

Before I close, I can't help mentioning that American Utopia, which won two Creative Arts Emmy Awards, is getting another bite at the Emmys apple by proxy as CBS Saturday Morning's only nomination. One last hurrah!

I plan on taking a break from News & Documentary Emmy Awards coverage tomorrow by returning to strike coverage. There have been developments in both the UAW strike and WGA strike and I'm thinking of covering one or both. Stay tuned.
