KVEA & KCET Lead Winners Of LA Area Emmy Awards Held At Hotel Picketed By Striking Workers

KVEA and KCET each won eight trophies at the 75th Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards to lead the field just like they did at the nomination stage. Telemundo’s KVEA swept all three regularly scheduled newscast categories, morning, daytime and evening. CBS/KCAL9 followed with 4 wins, with ABC7 and Spectrum SportsNet LA tied at 3 and KMEX, Spectrum News 1 and Spectrum SportsNet at 2. The honored telecasts included two tributes to local icon Vin Scully who died last summer.

The ceremony was held Saturday night at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel whose workers have been on strike for a new contract. Videos of attendees crossing the picket line to enter the hotel were tweeted by Unite Here Local 11, which called out the TV Academy for holding the event at the struck location. In its criticism of the Academy over the choice of location, the hotel workers union was joined by striking Hollywood writers and actors including TV Academy members.

“As a @TelevisionAcad member since 1995, I am shocked and appalled to see the #LAEmmys are this oblivious to our town,” Brian Nelson wrote on Twitter.
