EMMY® 2017
New Record Set For Emmy® Entries in 2017
KNTV, KTVU, KUVS, KDTV Lead Individual Entries This Year
|
By Wayne Freedman
Chapter Awards Committee Chairperson
In preparing your Emmy® Award submissions, you have compared, contrasted,
been pleasantly surprised, optimistic, and in some cases, perhaps even admitted that with some of your work, you may have been delusional.
It comes with the territory.
Whatever the case, thank you for entering our 46
th
Annual Northern California Area Emmy® Awards. Your Awards committee received 963 submissions from 969 individuals, totaling 2,468 entries. 
That's a record. 750 of those submissions are in English, and 213 in Spanish. A few numbers may change as we disqualify some entries and move others into more appropriate categories, but those numbers are impressive.
Here's a breakdown:
Sports-Feature / Segment led all English categories with 38 entries.
Feature News Report, Light trailed closely with 36 entries.
Feature News Report, Serious had 32 entries.
While we award the Emmy® statuette to individuals, we're always fascinated by station counts. In English, KNTV NBC Bay Area had 68 entries. KTVU Fox 2 trailed closely, with 62.
In the Spanish contest, KUVS Univision 19 Sacramento had 62 entries. KDTV Univision 14 San Francisco entered 60.
Your Emmy® Awards submissions have now entered the certification process. This is no small task. Members of our Board of Governors and The Awards Committee look at every entry. We confirm that the judges can view them properly. We assure that entries are appropriate and conform with our rules. We also make certain that they abide by the spirit of those rules.
In short, we want fair competition.
If you have not heard from us, by now, that's a good sign. If you have, then you know how seriously we take our responsibility.
After certification, we will trade with several of 19 NATAS chapters across the United States. A minimum of seven judges will view each entry online. In order to assure that judges view responsibly, we have set required percentages for how much of the entry they must see. After they have done so, a scoring sheet pops onto the screen.
Our research indicates that when judges see a promising entry, they view well past those minimum requirements. If judges do not stop, pause, skip ahead, and keep watching to the end of an entry, then it stands a very good chance for awards recognition.
Judges can award a total of 30 points per entry. We divide those 30 points into 10-point sections for Content, Creativity and Execution.
In Craft categories, judges score only for Creativity and Execution, a possible maximum total of 20 points.
We will send an E-mail blast, soon, asking for judges for other NATAS chapters beginning at the end of this month. Judging will continue through the summer.
By entering, you have already agreed to serve as a judge. This is both an obligation and a requirement. If do not judge when we ask, we will withhold your discounted member rates for next year's entries, and you pay higher fees.
If you have never judged before, the process will enlighten you. Our Academy uses peer judging, meaning you will look at the same categories you entered, and in which you work. The more you judge, the better your sense of what makes an Emmy® Award-winning entry. With time in front of the screen, you may notice that less can be more, that quality and originality triumph, and that sometimes, a précis can do more harm to an entry than good.
Hint: Self-deprecation can work wonders.
Later this spring, members of the Awards Committee will view the returned scores of your entries. We determine recipients and nominees, based on columns of numbers, with no inklings of what categories they represent. That is why we call the process "blind scoring."
We will announce nominations on Wednesday, May 3
.
Later, we hope to see you on Saturday, June 3
for the "EMMY® 2017" Awards Gala at the SFJAZZ Center in San Francisco.

Wally Zimmermann, Ex-Hawaii News Chief, Dies
Legendary TV News Vet Led News Teams at KHON, KITV
|
By Howard Dashefsky
Special to Off Camera
You may not know his name or recognize his face, but Wally Zimmermann, in many ways, shaped the television news industry in Hawaii.
Many in television news and beyond are mourning his passing Jan. 5.
He was 73.
In his lifetime, he accumulated 35 years of news and production credentials. He owned a public relations company from 2012-15 before he and his wife and daughter moved near Nashville, where he died at home.
A native of Chicago, Zimmermann served in the Army and eventually made his way to Hawaii to KHON, in 1981.
It didn't take long for him to put his influence on the product the viewers came to watch and trust.
"Wally was one of these rare people who knew that, when you manage people, you treat them like family," said
Pamela Young, who worked with Zimmermann for more than 20 years and who serves on the Board of Governors of the San Francisco/Northern California Chapter of the National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences. "So very often in the newsroom, he would be vacuuming the floor, and emptying trash cans and changing light bulbs, because he taught us that no job is too low and anything you do in the newsroom is going to help somebody."

Wally Zimmermann
Former KHON News Director Dies
|
Young said it was Zimmermann who came up with the soon-to-be-popular
Mixed Plate feature that took her off the police beat.
"I think he, along with
Bob Sevey and
Jack Kellner, built the news industry in Hawaii," she said. "They molded so many of us. We're going to remember them and, hopefully, the next generation will adhere to their ethics of journalism."
Zimmermann was the station's news director from 1981 to 1987 and again from 2002 to 2006, where he was responsible for the weekday morning news. Between his stints at KHON, he was also vice-president of news at KITV from 1988 to 2001.
"I will always remember him as being a great manager, a great mentor and definitely a trusted friend," said former reporter
Jill Kuramoto, now director of communications at the Hawaii State Senate.
"I remember how he never encouraged reporters to submit our stories for awards, because he always said we became journalists not to win awards, but to tell good stories. And that's always kind of stayed with me.
"He taught that, in just very gentle ways of encouraging us, to somehow write better, to be better, to ask better questions," she said.
"Wally had a talent for recognizing talent and he assembled a newsroom that was talented, that was happy and cohesive," said
Jodi Leong, now Gov.
David Ige's press secretary. "It's probably the best newsroom I've ever worked in.
"So many of us would go to him with our troubles," she said. "We would go to him for guidance. He was the best counselor and we will miss him dearly."
Leong added that "he was also the best storyteller. We would be riveted when he would break out his arsenal of stories about his experiences. For example, his roommate at Ripon College (in Wisconsin) was
Harrison Ford, and also during college, he told us stories about dating actress
Ann-Margret.
"He was a gem of a man and I will miss him always."
His 21-year-old daughter,
Dawson, said recently that "he was a wonderful father and I'm so happy that so many people love him, too."
Besides being a news junkie and a great family man, Zimmermann loved nothing more than fishing, baseball, and a cold beer.
Young remembers that "he always said that some day he was going to retire to a lakefront and open Wally's Beer and Bait Shop, so somewhere in Heaven, he's going to be doing some really good fishing."
His family is planning a memorial in Hawaii in March.

KTXL Debuts Market's First Newsgathering Drone
|
|
KTXL, the Fox affiliate in Sacramento, has launched the first newsgathering drone in that market.
Called "Drone 40", the station's news staff put their new newsgathering tool to work in mid-January to get some video of flooding in the area, caused by last month's series of winter storms that hit northern and central California.
KTXL says the drone is operated by two of its photographers, who enrolled in drone camera operation training to get licensed.
The station says it intends to use its drone as much as possible.

Sacramento's Car Czar: Driven In A New Direction
|
By Joyce Mitchell
Chapter Governor, Sacramento
Life takes twists and turns for everyone and especially for people in the television industry. It's fast-paced and often, uncertain. One day, you're hired. The next - you're fired. Stress is abundant. But Sacramento's Doug Brauner has had a good run. Until this past Thanksgiving that is. And it wasn't his bosses that got his attention. It was a major health scare.
Brauner is known as "The Car Czar". He's about as high-energy, witty, and when it comes to cars, as knowledgeable as they come. Brauner has been marching to the TV clock for more than 20 years now, hosting TV and radio programs while also operating his two auto repair shops in the area.
Since 1995, Brauner's been a familiar face on CW31's Good Day, providing viewers tips on automotive topics like properly balancing wheels, inflating tires, and consumer alerts. Recently appearing on CW31, his teaching goal took a different approach.
Brauner straight-talked with viewers about his health and why he's pulling back from TV. Brauner hosted more than 100 episodes of
The Car Czar Show
on CW31 over the course of four seasons. He wrote newspaper columns, could be heard regularly on the radio and has been a consistent contributor on CW's
Good Day
since 1995.

This past Thanksgiving, Brauner said he was up all night, walking around, unable to sleep and not feeling well. Still, the next day, he went to work and hosted a TV segment. "I felt horrible," said Brauner. "When I look back, I had a terrible tightness in my chest. I just thought it was stress. I didn't want to complain but as it turns out, I was having an event that night. It was a heart attack."
Finally seeing a doctor, Brauner was hospitalized and underwent stent surgery. "I grew up in a blue collar household," said Brauner. "The honor was work until you drop." Unfortunately, that's exactly what Brauner's dad did. He died young - of a heart attack.
On Good Day a couple of weeks ago, Brauner told viewers that his priorities have changed. As difficult as it is to comprehend sometimes, he's realizing that being human requires balance. "I believe now the honor is in being available and present for my family," said Brauner. "Striking a balance is more honorable than ignoring your health."
As for his future in television, Brauner isn't ruling anything out. When he's healthy again, Brauner said that he could be back. He may even be interested in doing a program educating people about heart disease. "This whole thing has been stunning," said Brauner. "The upside about these difficult and multiple hospitalizations and severe diagnosis is that there's only one thing in my life that's true. Nothing's more important than your health."
Brauner said that he always thought that doing the right thing meant not complaining. He's learned a thing or two - the hard way. Paying attention to your body, he's finding out, is not complaining. It's smart.
While Brauner is dealing with some complications of heart disease, he's optimistic about the future. "I'm absolutely committing to being healthy," said Brauner. "Tough guys die. Guys who reach out live a long time for their families. That's the biggest thing that I've learned."
For now, TV's taking a backseat. The Car Czar will continue operating his two repair shops. But Brauner will be moving at a healthier, more balanced pace.
Starting out as an automotive mechanic, Brauner coupled that experience with his high-energy personality and became a fixture in the Sacramento TV market. A couple of years ago, he received an Emmy® Award for hosting The Car Czar series of programs.
Brauner is married and has four children. He wants to be there for his family and said that he's "looking to find that balance running the maze that we do."
He's focusing on getting well and hoping that what happened to him will help educate others. Brauner said that he ignored warning signs, probably even denied them. His message might spare others the complications he's experiencing - perhaps even save a life.
Driven in a new direction, Brauner will continue teaching people about cars. But even more, he's hoping to share a much bigger lesson - one about heart health. He's encouraging people to pay attention. "There's just nothing more important," said Brauner.

NATAS Members Descend on Futuristic
Worlds Fair Nano at San Francisco's Pier 70

Chapter Education Chairperson
Worlds Fair Nano was a two-day festival where technology was on display; a unique cross between Maker Faire and Burning Man. During the last weekend in January thousands of attendees flocked to a cavernous 50,000 square foot warehouse at Pier 70, not far from the ballpark in San Francisco.
Our chapter offered a 20% discount on admission and many members responded. Worlds Fair USA Strategic Partnerships Manager Madeline Jecklin said that almost 200 NATAS promo codes were used, more than any other single organization.
When I entered the warehouse I was met by organized chaos. Everything was in motion. A strong blast of air hit me and I looked up expecting a ceiling fan, but instead there was a 12-inch white drone hovering ten feet away. Adults and children were zipping across the concrete floor on motorized, remote controlled skateboards and scooters. Just ahead a teen gestured like she was flapping imaginary wings, activating giant multi-color LED displays on either side of her that tracked her motion.
"My husband and I got to ride Star Wars-like battle station vehicles, we sat in on a fascinating talk about the future of the brain, and perused booths featuring cutting edge tech products including the bionic boot and the first cell phone 3D printer," remarked NATAS Governor Noemi Zeigler-Sanchez.
There was something for everyone: continuous technology lectures, virtual reality games, climbing structures, commercial booths, food trucks, works of art, DJ music and flying drones of all sizes.
Our academy celebrates excellence in television arts and sciences. The Worlds Fair USA organization uses the arts and sciences to depict the future, or at least a possible one. As a result, Worlds Fair Nano guests and NATAS members experienced an imaginative, educational and whimsical look at tomorrow. It was a unique event, jam-packed with
more energy than a three-ring circus!

|
The Foundation of The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is happy to announce the Douglas W. Mummert Scholarship and its addition to the NATAS Foundation's 2017 college scholarship program.
The National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences' Douglas W. Mummert Scholarship was established through an endowment by the long time academy Member, Governor, Trustee & Committee Chairman. Mummert also serves on the academy's Scholarship Committee and their Foundation Board.

"This new scholarship, added to our budding program of grants seeks to recognize these young people and encourage their education and eventual entry into the television industry."
"By investing in the great talents of the future, we reaffirm the standard of creative achievement reflected in the Emmy® Award and the lasting legacy of two great practitioners of our craft," said NATAS Foundation Vice President Adam Sharp, a 1996 Trustees' Scholarship winner.
