The Television Academy has announced the recipients of its 16th Television Academy Honors, recognizing six remarkable television programs and their producers who have harnessed the extraordinary power of storytelling to fuel social change. The Academy would like to congratulate this year's Honors recipients and thank them on behalf of the entire industry for their groundbreaking and inspiring work.
After discussions with the WGA and out of deference to those impacted by the ongoing labor dispute, the Television Academy is cancelling the Television Academy Honors reception which was scheduled for the evening of May 31. We appreciate everyone's understanding.

"These exceptional programs and producers have used television to adeptly address some of the most significant and challenging issues facing communities across the globe," said Television Academy Chairman and CEO Frank Scherma.

"It was a robust year of outstanding and thought-provoking submissions that represent the histories and voices of storytellers. This year's Honors recipients reflect an intersectionality of topics with unique perspectives that are accessible to all," said Leder. "The committee applauds all the hard work that writers, actors, directors, producers and their teams expended in pursuit of creating meaningful and impactful content," added Taylor-Coleman. "While narrowing down the field was difficult, this year's winners were especially distinguished and deserved to be singled out."
