Updated 10/13/16 1 th 45 Annual NORTHERN CALIFORNIA AREA EMMY® AWARD NOMINATIONS ANNOUNCED th The 45 Annual Northern California Area EMMY® Award Nominations were announced Wednesday, May 4th during a live webcast from the Coloma Community Center on Access Sacramento. The EMMY® award is presented for outstanding achievement in television by The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences (NATAS). 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 and Reno, Nevada. Entries aired during the 2015 calendar year. This year a record number of 757 English and 179 Spanish entries were received in 67 categories. English and Spanish language entries were judged and scored separately. A minimum of seven peer judges from other NATAS chapters scored each entry on a scale from 1 to 10 on 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 blind scores (not knowing the category) and decided on the cut off number for nominations and recipients. The results were tabulated by our accounting firm Spalding and Company. KNTV NBC Bay Area and KUVS Univision 19 each received 33 nominations. Individual honors went to María Leticia Gómez of KDTV Univision 14 with 10 nominations followed by Vicky Nguyen, KNTV NBC Bay Area with nine.
