The Academy of Television Arts & Sciences and the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences are holding talks to potentially unify the Emmy Awards, nearly 50 years after their split.

The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has announced the nominations for the 47th Annual Sports Emmy Awards, with prominent figures like Tom Brady, Jason Kelce, and Charles Barkley among the nominees.

Almost fifty years after their acrimonious split, the Television Academy and the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS), the two organizations behind the Emmy Awards, have begun exploratory talks to reunify.

Submissions are now open for the 53rd Daytime Emmy Awards, which are set to take place on Oct. 30, the East Coast-based National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences announced on Thursday.

The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences has revealed the Lifetime Achievement Award recipients for the 2026 Sports Emmys and News & Documentary Emmys, which will be hosted by the trio from 'Have I Got News For You'.
