The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS) have announced the recipients of the 75th Annual Technology & Engineering Emmy Awards, along with a new category called “Excellence in Production Technology,” and named three nominees including ILM for its work on The Santa Clauses, Season 2, along with two non-ILM projects.

NATAS President and CEO Adam Sharp said: “This new category honors innovations that significantly enhanced the experience of broadcast viewers during the competition year. These nominees revolutionized the way television is produced, delivered, or broadcast. Together, they help set the standard for this exciting new track of recognition in the Tech Emmys.”

“As we honor the diamond class of the technology Emmys, this class typifies the caliber of innovation we have been able to enjoy for the last 75 years.  Congratulations to all the winners.” said Joe Inzerillo, Co-Chair, NATAS Technology Achievement Committee.

The Technology & Engineering Emmy® Awards are awarded to a living individual, a company, or a scientific or technical organization for developments and/or standardization involved in engineering technologies that either represent so extensive an improvement on existing methods or are so innovative in nature that they materially have affected television.

Congratulations to all nominees, and the winners will be announced at a ceremony on October 9th at the Prince George Ballroom in New York.
