The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced the nominations for the 2022 News and Documentary Emmys, and this year ABC and CNN lead the pack with 39 nominations each.
CNN’s tally includes several divisions: CNN Films, CNN International, CNN Digital and CNN en Español. PBS (who garnered the most nominations in 2021) and Vice both received 28 nods and CBS rounds out the top five with 26 nominations.
Other outlets receiving double-digit nominations include The New York Times (19), National Geographic (15), Netflix (13), Showtime (12), Univision (12), Hulu (10) and NBC (10).
In addition to the 64 categories, the academy is planning to bestow two Lifetime Achievement awards: Judy Woodruff, anchor and managing editor, PBS NewsHour for news, and David Attenborough, biologist, humanist and filmmaker for documentary.
This year’s News and Documentary Emmys will return to an in-person event, taking place at the Palladium Times Square in New York. The news awards will be handed out on Sept. 28, with the documentary awards following on Sept. 29, similar to last year’s ceremony split.
