Variety: Peabody Awards Unveil 60 Nominees for 2017
News and documentary fare in the mix includes HBO’s “The Defiant Ones,” BBC’s “Planet Earth II,” and “Time: The Kalief Browder Story,” which aired on the erstwhile Spike TV (now rebranded Paramount Network). The now disgraced Harvey Weinstein was among the original exec producers of “Time” but Peabody officials said his name was not included in the submission on the show from Spike TV.
A total of more than 1,200 programs were submitted for 2017 Peabody consideration. The nominees will be winnowed by the Peabody jury to 30 winners, to be presented May 19 at the 77th annual Peabody Awardsceremony, hosted by “Daily Show” correspondent Hasan Minhaj in New York. The recipient of the inaugural Peabody Career Achievement Award will be unveiled on Thursday.
The Peabody kudos are administered by the Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communication at the University of Georgia.
