Emmy adopts 30-minute rule on 'comedy'

The Emmys announced new rules on Friday putting time limits on comedies, as well as attempting to clear up category confusion elsewhere. According to the Emmys, comedies have episodes that are 30 minutes or shorter, while dramas are over 30 minutes. This rule will directly affect shows like Orange Is the New Black, which competed as a comedy at last year’s awards but runs longer than 30 minutes.
