PBS Programs Receive 30 Primetime Emmy Award Nominations

On July 16, 2015 the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced nominations for the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards, for which PBS programs received 30 nominations.

PBS programs receiving multiple nominations include MASTERPIECE Downton Abbey (8 nominations), MASTERPIECE Wolf Hall (8 nominations), THE ROOSEVELTS: AN INTIMATE HISTORY (3 nominations) and LIVE FROM LINCOLN CENTER Sweeney Todd: The Demon Barber Of Fleet Street (3 nominations). Also nominated was The Great Invisible which aired as a simulcast on Pivot and INDEPENDENT LENS on PBS.

PBS is very honored to have received 30 Emmy nominations this year for our work across a variety of genres, said PBS President & CEO Paula Kerger. In addition to powerful dramas like MASTERPIECE's Wolf Hall and Downton Abbey, PBS is sharing important stories about American history and culture, and our nominations this year reflect the diversity of our programming. We're also experimenting with how we can use new platforms to expand our reach and impact, which is why I'm especially pleased that our simulcast of INDEPENDENT LENS' The Great Invisible was recognized with a nomination. To all of our nominees, I'd like to offer my sincere congratulations.

The Primetime Emmy Awards will be telecast September 20, 2015, on FOX from the Microsoft Theater L.A. LIVE in Los Angeles.
