WGA Protests Removal of Writing Award from Primetime Emmys Telecast

The guild fears this could set a precedent for future removal of other writing categories.

The Television Academy has decided to remove the presentation of the outstanding writing for a variety series/special award from the Primetime Emmys telecast.
The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has protested this decision, stating that it devalues their profession and is without any justification or defensible reason.
The WGA has been in contact with the Television Academy to express their objection and are advocating for the category to remain in the primetime televised program.
The WGA is concerned that this decision could set a precedent for the removal of other writing categories in future years.
The Television Academy has declined to comment on the issue.
