2013 Mock Bryan Award Submissions - Variety & First-Year Races


2013 Bryan Award Mock Submissions




One of the processes that takes place during the Emmy Awards voting process is that of the episode submissions. For Comedy and Drama Series, each nominated show submits six episodes, on three DVD’s (two episodes on a DVD, or a double episode). Each nominated series actor submits one episode for consideration as part of the nomination process and the voting process (the guest actors episodes are practically known once they submit, because the episode description is listed on the nomination ballot).



The Bryan Awards also have races for Daytime Soaps, and there are some differences with the Daytime and Primetime Emmys. Like the Primetime Emmys, each Daytime actor submits one episode. The Writing and Directing teams for each soap submit one episode as well. This year, all five eligible soaps for this year’s Daytime Emmys submitted two episodes in the Drama Series race.

Now, if the Bryan Awards did this, here is how the Bryan Awards would pick episodes, if there was the same process as the Primetime Emmys.

NOTE: For the New Series category, for this simulation, the nine New Series nominees would be judged on two (2) episodes.
