1 50th Annual NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA EMMY® AWARDS NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCED The San Francisco/Northern California Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences has announced nominations for its 50th Annual Gala. The Emmy® award is presented for outstanding achievement in television. San Francisco/ Northern California is one of the nineteen chapters awarding regional Emmy® statuettes. Northern California is composed of media companies and individuals from Visalia to the Oregon border and includes Hawaii, Reno, NV and Guam. Entries aired during the 2020 calendar year. This year the contest received 765 English entries in 68 categories. The Spanish contest received 195 entries in 34 categories. A minimum of seven judges from other NATAS chapters scored each entry on a scale from 1 to 10 for Content, Creativity and Execution. Craft categories were judged on Creativity and Execution only. The total score was divided by the number of judges. The mean score was sorted from highest to lowest in each category. The Chapter Awards Committee looked at scores, not knowing the category, and determined cut off numbers for nominations and recipients. In the English contest KNTV NBC Bay Area received 30 nominations followed by KXTV 10 with 24. In the Spanish contest KUVS Univision 19 received 19 followed by KSTS Telemundo 48 with 13 each.
