That shouldn’t matter, since voters gained’t formally be requested to contemplate these episodes till subsequent 12 months’s Emmys, however whether or not voters know what season they’re voting for is anybody’s guess. Even when they do, the most recent impression tends to linger. It’s already reignited complaints of class fraud — particularly, that “The Bear” must be competing as a drama collection, not a comedy — and all this turmoil could lead on TV Academy members to take a second take a look at the opposite nominees.
