The show was nominated for an Emmy in 2016.
Hello World’s Emmy nomination was announced in 2017, not 2016. The 38th News & Documentary Emmy Awards honored 2016 programming, which likely caused the mix-up.
Full reasoning
The year in this sentence is off by one.
An official National Academy of Television Arts & Sciences nominations document states: “New York, N.Y. – July 25, 2017 – Nominations for the 38th Annual News and Documentary Emmy Awards were announced today” and lists Bloomberg Television – Hello World – “Hunting for the Origins of the Universe in Chile’s Desert.” The same document also says those awards “honor programming distributed during the calendar year 2016.”
So Hello World was nominated in 2017 for work that aired in 2016. A contemporaneous 2017 FIPP article about Bloomberg likewise described Hello World as “now nominated for an Emmy this year” on August 28, 2017.
That means the sentence is incorrect as written: the nomination year was 2017, not 2016.
