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.

The TV biz is hoping to pull out the usual razzle-dazzle in downtown Los Angeles. But the Emmys this year land at a time when the industry is still reeling from the aftershocks of #MeToo scandals and the disruption that is driving the M&A madness that has been the talk of the town ever since Disney set its sights on 21st Century Fox last year.
This turmoil will be squarely addressed in the opening number of the show. A source said it will be a splashy production number featuring a mix of...
