You mean there's a Directing of a Game Show category now?

My understanding is that there's been one for quite some time.

Since the first Daytime Emmys ceremony actually, but it seems there was a gap from 2006-2015 in which that particular award wasn't given out.

'Da Wiki list (https://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Daytime_Emmy_Award_for_Outstanding_Game_Show) for anybody who wants a historical snapshot. I wish the formatting included the directors along with the shows, but I gather most of us here can quickly figure out whose show it was, anyway.
Two observations on seeing this list for the first time: One, hats off to Bruce Burmester for scoring so many wins for The $25,000 Pyramid at a time where there was more competition in this field. Two, not a single victory for Marc Breslow? Boo hiss.

I haven't seen anything in particular.
Will this year's ceremony air anywhere this year? Or is this silence a little over a month from the ceremony mean it won't air again?
-
UPDATE: Jeopardy! and Steve Harvey won once again for Outstanding Game Show and Host (the latter also Informative Talk Show Host, beating Larry King among the nominees) respectively.
And this year's Daytime Emmys were streamed live on Facebook and Twitter, by the way.

I saw a tweet about how they were streaming on FB Live, but I'd figured they'd found at least one 5th-tier cable channel to air it. This ceremony becomes more and more of an afterthought each year.
What next, they just live tweet each winner next year?

Better than dead tweeting the winners.

I remember the Daytime Emmys drew 25 million viewers one year in the 1990s, during the era when Susan Lucci lost 18 straight times.

Lucci wasn't nominated in 1994 (the year when Dick Clark got his Lifetime Achievement Emmy), but like I said again...after that magical moment in 1999, interest in the Daytime Emmys declined; at one point, it went to three hours, which I felt was overkill.
I didn't know this year's awards would be on Facebook Live until 45 minutes into it, and it will be that way again next year because another "fifth tier" cable channel like Reelz or even WGN America won't be interested anyway.
Oh, and Reg Grundy was included in the In Memoriam, but no Chuck Barris...for now (they're probably saving him for the Primetime Emmys in September).

Fixed.
Three hours for an awards ceremony is about average, considering all the awards they added.

Agreed. And thanks for removing all of the fluff that wasn't needed (and that he's famous for).

I thought they already had to do this when the ceremony went completely unaired one year. No?
