YouTube Stars Become Eligible to Win Emmy Awards

Digiday: Realizing that digital content is here to stay, the Television Academy announced that it’s adding several short-form series categories to the Emmy Awards. The new awards must have at least six episodes and last 15 minutes or less. The changes were prompted by a “rapid acceleration” in the space as young people continue to gravitate toward Internet stars like PewDiePie, Hannah Hart and GloZell.
