The Emmys announced back in March that it would expand its award categories beyond the conventional, big-budget television productions to include short-form series, virtual reality and internet-only videos -- and it has. At the upcoming 68th annual Emmy Awards, five popular online series are in the running for Outstanding Short Form Variety Series. The nominees include YouTube hits Epic Rap Battles of History and Honest Trailers, Funny or Die's Gay of Thrones, and both Making A Scene With James Franco and Park Bench With Steve Buscemi from AOL.
Louis CK launches an online-only video series

It's not clear how long H&P will run, but there are hints that the first episode was shot just days earlier.
