Mohan said, “Creators are drawing audiences on the big screen because they’re the new Hollywood. They have business strategies, writers’ rooms, and production teams. They’re reimagining classic TV genres, from morning shows to sports commentary. And they’re inventing entirely new ones.”
Creators are redefining what we think of as ‘TV’, Mohan added, and “they deserve the same acclaim as other creative professionals. I believe it’s time a creator won an Emmy.”
