In l994, after a long battle between the Casting Peer Group and the Academy, the "Series" category was added to the list of possibilities, giving Casting Directors their second Emmy for Casting. If a series wins in its first year, the pilot Casting Director also gets an Emmy (due to the fact that the person casting the series may not have cast the original pilot). If a series wins after its first year, this does not apply. Location Casting Directors are eligible if they cast more than one or two roles.
