The National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences Southeast Chapter announced the professional winners of the 45th Annual Southeast Emmy Awards at a special ceremony at Atlanta’s Grand Hyatt Buckhead. Art Berger received the Best Director and Best Technical Director awards. Art writes: “I specifically dedicated my Best Technical Director win to celebrating cultural diversity in the media. I firmly believe now more than ever we need to celebrate diversity and being a director is being a leader of a team that embraces all people. In my professional experience a diverse team is the strongest team. The Best Technical Director Emmy award went to our Spanish simulcast and I was extremely proud of this award, especially being nominated against Univision and Telemundo. I look back at my time at Brown and I would not have had the success in the business, working with Turner and ESPN, without my diverse experience at Brown University.” This is Art’s fifth Emmy award and eighteenth nomination.
