The Academy also eliminates the Emmys Governors Balls, but still plans to keep the main Emmy show on its original date
The Television Academy will turn the 2020 Creative Arts Emmys into a multi-night virtual event rather than a pair of physical ceremonies, and will eliminate the Governors Balls that normally take place after the Creative Arts and Primetime Emmys ceremonies.
The new plans were announced on Monday by the Academy, which said that it still plans to hold the 72nd Primetime Emmy Awards telecast on Sunday, Sept.20. The format for that ceremony is still under discussion, as is the format for the Creative Arts presentation, which an Academy release said would be “an innovative virtual event taking place over several nights in September.
