Although the COVID-19 epidemic interrupted film production, the majority of series eligible for this year's Emmy season ran between June of last year and through May of this year. Thus, all films in competition have completed filming activities before a pandemic strikes. This is fortunate for the drama industry because with the epidemic, audiences spend more time at home enjoying works on TV or online TV services. Currently, even though COVID-19 is still going on, most of the films will have to return to production if they do not want to "starve" next year.
