The made-for-tv movie was a programming staple for the broadcast networks in the 1970s and 1980s. While it fell out of favor in the 1990s and was even dropped as an Emmy Awards category for three years beginning in 2011, it has been on an upswing as of late. This year, 28 telefilms are in contention for the five nominations that will be revealed on July 28; last year only 21 TV movies were submitted.
All 22,000 plus voting members of the TV academy have until July 13 to cast their 2020 Emmy Awards nominations ballots for their favorite TV movies. In the past, voters were limited in the number of telefilms that they could put forth. In 2017 that cap (which was usually 10 per category) was lifted. And, as opposed to the Oscars, voters for the Emmys do not rank their choices and nominees are determined by a simple tally.

It’s that time of year again, when screens big and small rouse even the stoniest of hearts with their festive re-telling of Charles Dickens’ immortal tale A Christmas Carol. We were at a splendidly seasonal Picturehouse Central last night for the special screening of the latest BBC version, which stars Guy Pearce as Ebenezer Scrooge and Joe Alwyn as Bob Cratchit. A sterling cast abounds, and includes Stephen Graham, Andy Serkis, Vinette Robinson, Jason Flemyng, Tiarna Williams, Lenny Rush, Delroy Atkinson, and Billy Barratt. The adaptation is by Peaky Blinders’ Steven Knight and directed by Nick Murphy.
Colin Hart and Scott Davis were on the red carpet asking the questions.
A Christmas Carol will be shown on BBC One on the 19th of December, 2019. Here are the interviews.

You know how I feel about Christmas movies, right?
Well, even with all of the incarnations we've had in the past of Charles Dickens' A Christmas Carol, the FX, and BBC (with Scott Free and Tom Hardy's Hardy Son & Baker), looks like it will upend the holiday season.
The movie will first air as an FX Original Movie on Thursday, December 19th at 7:30 Et/Pt and air subsequently on December 22, then again on Christmas Eve and Christmas Day.
This A Christmas Carol is an original take on the iconic ghost story written by Steven Knight that immerses viewers on a spine-tingling journey of Scrooge's dark night of the soul.
In this version of the classic tale, Guy Pearce stars as Ebenezer Scrooge, Stephen Graham is Jacob Marley, Joe Alwyn is Bob Cratchit, and Vinette Robinson is Mary Cratchit.
Andy Serkis is the jaded Ghost of Christmas Past, Charlotte Riley...
