By Eric Kelsey LOS ANGELES (Reuters) – Three television upstarts and a field of film stars could shake up the annual Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday in a validation of the television industry’s move toward sophisticated, long-form storytelling. Led by HBO’s bayou crime mystery “True Detective,” FX’s snowy psychological miniseries “Fargo” and Netflix’s online-delivered jailhouse comedy “Orange Is the New Black,” a new breed of TV has headed to the top of the establishment class. “We have a lot of sexy newcomers,” said Tom O’Neil, the editor of awards handicapper Goldderby.com. “It’s not just the same old slapstick comedy show with a new face.” Together, the three shows have picked up 42 nominations and reflect the growing clout of unorthodox storytelling – from Netflix giving audiences an entire season at once to “True Detective” and “Fargo” as anthologies with new casts and stories each season.
