HBO will be pretty much competing against itself in all categories related to made for TV Movie for this year’s 61st Primetime Emmys. Ross Katz (who is currently prepping The Amateur American) showed off Taking Chance during the Sundance Film Festival, while Michael Sucsy struggled for five years to get Grey Gardens off the ground. Both films grabbed noms in the directing, writing and acting categories. For noms in the TV movie cats take a look below, for the full list (Comedy, Drama and plenty of technical awards check out the list here).
