ESPN’s newsmagazine “E: 60” led all nominations (with 10) for the 41st Annual Sports Emmy Awards, as announced on Thursday by the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences.
The Sports Emmys, originally scheduled for April 28 at Jazz at Lincoln Center’s Frederick P. Rose Hall, has been postponed due to the coronavirus (Covid-19) pandemic, with no replacement date yet announced. Nonetheless, NATAS has moved ahead with revealing this year’s nominees. Among network groups, Disney’s suite of ESPN networks led all companies, with 58 nods. Among individual networks, Fox — fueled by Super Bowl Liv — had the most with 39.
Ironically, the announcement comes as sports events have come to a halt — leaving sports networks to vamp via classic games and other means.
“We look forward to celebrating our community and the wide range of outstanding achievement across all facets of our industry,” said Justine Gubar, executive director of the Sports Emmy Awards.
