===Cinematography===
===Academy's "hanging episodes" rule===
{| class="wikitable"
The Television Academy was alerted to an issue with "hanging episodes" by [[Starz (TV channel)|Starz]]. The channel has numerous series with multiple "hanging episodes". "Hanging episodes" are episodes broadcast after the Academy's deadline for consideration that are part of a season that began before the deadline. For instance, Starz's ''[[Magic City (TV series)|Magic City]]'' and [[AMC (TV channel)|AMC]]'s ''[[Mad Men]]'' both ended their 2012 seasons in June, after the May 31 deadline. These episodes will now be allowed to be webcast for award consideration prior to their telecast should that telecast air after the submission period has closed. The Academy had prior rules stipulating that eligible episodes be presented on the same platform as the episodes that qualify the series.<ref>{{cite news|url=http://www.emmys.tv/news/2010/additional-rule-changes-primetime-emmys-announced|title=Additional Rule Changes for Primetime Emmys Announced|work=Academy of Television Arts & Sciences|date=May, 20, 2010|accessdate=August 30, 2012}}</ref>
