Fans were relieved that Netflix's series stayed true to the essence of the original Nickelodeon show with talented casting choices.

Given that a previous live-action adaptation of the beloved Nickelodeon series was met with a fair share of criticism, the Netflix team had a formidable task ahead of them. The streamer's remake, which premiered in the form of a TV series instead of a film, was released on February 22, 2024. With a 75% audience score on Rotten Tomatoes, it appears as if Netflix's Avatar has fared much better than its 2010 predecessor.

A main pitfall of the 2010 live-action film had to do with its cast. The...

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.
