Megan Amram made a web series. Perhaps you’ve heard of it? It’s called An Emmy For Megan, and it’s about a fictionalized Megan Amram creating a web series called An Emmy For Megan in order to win an Emmy for Outstanding Actress in a Short Form Comedy or Drama Series. It’s a taut, psychologically dense piece of filmmaking that absolutely meets all the minimum requirements required to qualify for the Emmys. Amram stars as Amram. D’Arcy Carden shows up as D’Arcy Carden. It’s a series, and on the web, and it is nominated for two Emmys.
Well, viewers invested in fictional Megan’s Emmy dreams can now watch her pursue them, instead of watching the Emmys. IFC has announced it will air the series in full—all 28 minutes and 7 seconds of it—on September 17, during the goddamned Emmy Awards. In a press release announcing the television premiere of “the most important piece of entertainment of the past 2,000 years,” IFC General Manager Blake Callaway says, “What IFC loves most about Megan is that she is all about the art, and also the hardware.” Amram adds, “Since the internet is hard to access unless you have a smart phone or a laptop or a tablet or a desktop computer or an eBook reader or an iPod Touch or a Smart TV or an Apple Watch, we’ve put it on cable television where it’s easy to find!”
