This is Kamp Grizzly’s first nomination. But one can’t help but wonder with Netflix already gunning for TVs and movies, are commercials next?
The actual 71st Emmys will air live from the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles on Sunday, Sept. 22, starting at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT on Fox. Look for Reel 360’s report.
