A total of 76 shows received nominations this year, representing all four major broadcast networks plus a number of cable channels. Networks and services such as IFC, Sundance Channel, TBS and Netflix were represented for the first time, with Netflix dominating the list thanks to the 15 nominations to its original fourth season of the comic “Arrested Development”, which previously ran on Fox until 2006. “Arrested” led the nominees in all fields and, in the comedy field, was followed by NBC’S final season of “30 Rock”, which earned 9 total nominations; among dramas, HBO’s “The Newsroom” led with 11 nominations, with Showtime’s sophomore “Homeland” and HBO’s own “Game of Thrones” right behind with 9. Sundance Channel’s five-part “Top of the Lake” led among miniseries and movies with 12 nods.

April 20, 2013 – Beginning of consideration period

June 4, 2013 – Nominating ballots are mailed to the PAAFTJ members

June 11, 2013 – Deadline for nominating ballots to be returned

June 18, 2013 – Nominations for the 1st PAAFTJ Television Awards announced

June 26, 2013 – Final ballots are mailed to the PAAFTJ members

July 3, 2013 – Deadline for final ballots to be returned

July 14, 2013 – PAAFTJ Television Awards winners announced

There have been a few changes in the structure of categories. The total number of categories has been reduced to 45, and the main program fields (Oustanding Drama Series & Outstanding Comedy Series) have had the number of nominees expanded from 10 to anywhere between 10 and 15. Similarly, other competitive, non-program categories may now have 6-7 nominees at voters’ discretion.

Fields such as Editing, Cinematography and Production Design have been combined into two categories: Artistic/Visual Achievement honoring the work of directors of photography, art directors, and other visual artists, and Technical Achievement honoring the work of film editors, sound mixers and other professionals in technical areas. The mention of a specific nominated episode for each nominated performer has also been dropped, and actors are now the sole recipients of the Cast awards. Additionally, the Cast awards for Drama and Comedy also have an expanded list of nominees now, going up to 10 rather than the original 6.

For additional information, contact us at paaftj@gmail.com.

Now, in response to the inquiries, the PAAFTJ does not give out physical recognition representing the awards at this time, firstly because this is mainly an internet-bound award, and secondly due to budgetary restrictions. Either way, interested producers may require an on-line document attesting the receipt of the award at paaftj@gmail.com. The same goes to any further editions of the annual PAAFTJ Television Awards until second notice.

For additional information, contact us at paaftj@gmail.com.

The NBC comedy “Community” and the AMC drama “Breaking Bad” won the top awards for Best Comedy Series and Best Drama Series, respectively. Other major winners included British crime drama miniseries “Sherlock”, CBS talk show “The Late Late Show with Craig Ferguson”, and FX animated series “Archer”.

*Indicates the winner

The other error refers to one of the nominees in the Best Supporting Actress in a Miniseries or TV Movie. The list of nominees informs that Ellen Burstyn has been nominated for her work in “Coma”, when in fact “Coma”‘s airing has been rescheduled to September 3, 2012 and the program is therefore not eligible for the award. That mistake arises from Burstyn’s mention in a longlist put up by the PAAFTJ in early April, where her name was next to that of the correct nominee, Tammy Blanchard, for her work on “Of Two Minds”. This coincidence caused the misunderstanding that led to Burstyn being listed among the nominees in the press release instead of Blanchard, when in fact “Coma” hasn’t even aired yet.

The two mistakes are being corrected by our publicist, and the official lists will be updated soon with the correct information. We apologize for the inconvenience and thank you for your patience.

Nominations were spread across a total of 85 shows from all major broadcast networks plus 15 cable channels and two British networks. Leading the list is the NBC comedy “Community” with 10 nominations, followed by ABC’s “Modern Family” with 9. In the drama field, AMC’s “Mad Men” and Showtime new show “Homeland” lead with 8 nominations each. Other multiple nominees this year include FX animated series “Archer” and HBO period miniseries “Hemingway & Gellhorn”, among others.
