About Posthumous Emmy Honors

Posthumous Primetime and Creative Arts Emmy Awards represent rare moments of spontaneous tribute in the Television Academy. While rules permit nominations submitted prior to or following an artist's death within the eligibility window, victories such as those for Rob Reiner ('The Bear'), Chadwick Boseman, Anthony Bourdain, and Raúl Juliá are celebrated across the industry as indelible historical salutes.
