Dr. John Leverence on the Emmys "cutoff rule" that almost made the final season of The Sopranos ineligible for nomination until the year after it aired, and how then-HBO chairman Chris Albrecht appealed to the Television Academy Awards department and the accommodation was made to allow the show to be eligible for an Emmy in its final year

02:28
John Leverence on the classification of a program for the Emmys based on its running time - if a program is 30 minutes it is considered a comedy and if it is 60 minutes it is considered a drama, and on the process by which programs that wish to change categories submit a number of the show's episodes to an "Industry Panel" (an anonymous group of high-level programming executives)
01:01

03:30
Dr. John Leverence on the issues arising from the same individual winning an Emmy in the same category every year
01:46
Dr. John Leverence on how and when the names of the winners get affixed to the actual Emmy statuette - since no one knows the names of the winners in advance, all the nominees' names are actually engraved on plates in advance then the non-winning plates are disposed of and the winners' names are affixed to the statuette
02:01

03:15
Dr. John Leverence on bearing witness through his long tenure as the Administrator of the Emmy Awards to the sheer stupor experienced by those who win an Emmy award and some of his memories of various people getting injured by the physical award statuette, and on sound editor Russ Tinsley, whose son Rusty had a prosthetic leg, winning the award and waiting for his son to put the leg back on before he would go onstage to receive the award

01:57
Dr. John Leverence on the single-most valuable asset of the Awards department as well as his role as the Administrator of the awards: to maintain the integrity of the Emmy, and on how the administration of the award does deal with certain housekeeping measures, but the real challenge is to deal with substantive issues which, if not properly handled, may result in a diminishment of the integrity of the award
02:57
