It’s Time for TV Awards to Create a Best Dramedy Category

As the 2024 Emmy nominations settle in, and the hullabaloo about snubs and much awaited nods begins to die down, an issue that has been getting all the more present over the past few years begins rearing its head once again. Its an issue that was there when the 2023 Emmys announced their nominees, and when the Golden Globes and the Critics Choice Awards did the same. Its a debate older than any of the shows currently running for the prize of Outstanding Comedy or Drama Series, older than streaming platforms, perhaps even as old as cable. A debate that we cant help but bring back when we see The Bear facing off against What We Do in the Shadows or Abbott Elementary, or when we see Shogun and The Crown competing side by side with Fallout and Mr. and Mrs. Smith. Its a debate that can be summarized in one simple question: Is it time for television awards to introduce a Best Dramedy category?
