To date, only three programs throughout TV history have swept the top seven Primetime Emmys categories for series, lead actor, lead actress, supporting actor, supporting actress, writing and directing. Miniseries “Angels in America” was the first to do so in 2004, followed by comedy “Schitt’s Creek” in 2020, and then drama “The Crown” in 2021. At the upcoming 2024 Emmys, “The Bear” is hoping to join this esteemed list — and it’s all thanks to a savvy category switcheroo.
Last year, the FX dramedy about a Chicago beef restaurant claimed six of the top seven prizes for its first season: comedy series, lead actor Jeremy Allen White as Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, supporting actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach as Richard “Richie” Jerimovich, supporting actress Ayo Edebiri as Sydney Adamu, and both writing and directing for Christopher Storer. “The Bear” was not eligible in the lead actress category, so it couldn’t win there and complete the sweep.

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Meryl Streep is entering the “Only Murders in the Building” episode “Grab Your Hankies” as her 2024 Emmy Award submission for Best Comedy Supporting Actress. The episode aired on August 15 and is the third one of the third season of the Hulu series.
In “Grab Your Hankies,” Loretta (Streep) lands a role on the Los Angeles-based “Grey’s New Orleans Family Burn Unit,” which would require her to drop out of Oliver’s (Martin Short) play, now revamped into a musical called “Death Rattle Dazzle!” Oliver agrees to let her out of her contract if she sings the Nanny’s lullaby for the producers, Donna (Linda Emond) and Cliff (Wesley Taylor). Loretta’s moving performance of “Look for the Light” stuns Donna and Cliff, who agree to finance the musical, forcing Loretta to stay. Loretta and Oliver then kiss.

Is this the year of Selena Gomez?
After a historic best actress win at the Cannes Film Festival for her turn in Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Pérez,” which she shared with her castmates Zoe Saldaña, Karla Sofía Gascón and Adriana Paz, the influential superstar of Hulu’s murder-mystery romp “Only Murders in the Building” just landed her first acting nomination for her role as the dry-witted Mabel Mora, a resident of the Upper West Side apartment building, the Arconia.
Competing against Quinta Brunson (“Abbott Elementary”), Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear”), Jean Smart (“Hacks”), Maya Rudolph (“Loot”) and Kristen Wiig (“Palm Royale”), Gomez is the fourth Latina to be nominated in the category’s history following Rita Moreno for “9 to 5” in 1983, America Ferrera’s two noms for “Ugly Betty” in 2007 and 2008 and Jenna Ortega for “Wednesday” last year. Ferrera is the only winner among the trio.

Before the age of Primetime Emmy Awards sweeps for comedy “Schitt’s Creek” and drama “The Crown” – a trend that could very well continue this year by either “The Bear” or “Shōgun” – there was “Angels in America.” The HBO miniseries adaptation of the Pulitzer Prize-winning play by Tony Kushner won 11 Emmys back in 2004 and famously took home the prizes in all seven top categories, making it the very first program to do so. This year’s 76th annual ceremony marks the 20th anniversary of the show’s historic night. To celebrate Kushner’s birthday on July 16, let’s flashback to that epic Emmys sweep.
The television adaptation followed just 10 years after the premiere of both plays on Broadway in 1993. Those original productions of “Millennium Approaches” and “Perestroika” nabbed seven Tony Awards combined, including two wins for Best Play, one for director George C. Wolfe, one for actor Ron Liebman as Roy Cohn,...

It’s the British romantic dramedy event of the year.
On Wednesday, A24 released the trailer for “We Live in Time,” a moments-in-life romance film starring Academy Award nominees Andrew Garfield and Florence Pugh (“Little Women”).
The film, which is directed by BAFTA winner John Crowley (“Brooklyn”) and written by Tony nominee Nick Payne (“Constellations”), follows Almut (Pugh) and Tobias (Garfield) through major moments in their lives together, from their painful meet-cute (Almut hits Tobias with her car) to raising their daughter to Almut being treated for cancer. It appears to be a stylish tearjerker powered by the charisma of two of contemporary film’s most emotionally vulnerable actors.
If you’ve ever lamented that they don’t make movies like “About Time” anymore, this one is for you.
In addition to Garfield and Pugh, the cast includes Adam James, Marama Corlett, and Aoife Hinds. Leah Clarke, Adam Ackland, Guy Heeley are producers,...

The San Quentin Film Festival — the first-ever film festival held inside a prison — has named its inaugural industry jury, which includes Jeffrey Wright, Billy Crudup, Mary-Louise Parker and more.
The festival, taking place Oct. 10 and 11 at the San Quentin Rehabilitation Center in northern California, will highlight short films and pitches from current and formerly incarcerated filmmakers in front of a jury made up of entertainment industry artists and executives. Separately, an “inside jury” made up of currently incarcerated people will judge narrative and documentary feature films about the prison experience made by filmmakers who have never served prison time.
Actors on the industry jury include Wright, Crudup, Parker and Kathy Najimy.
Directors on the jury include Elegance Bratton, Taylor Hackford, Lynn Novick, Greg Kwedar, Jeff Stanzler and Joe Talbot.
Writer-producers on the jury include Sam Catlin, Lawrence O’Donnell, Piper Kerman (“Orange Is the New Black”) and J.T. Rogers.
The jury also includes Len Amato,...

Could Sean Penn make “Milk” today?
It’s a question the actor answered himself, in a recent profile by Maureen Dowd in the New York Times. “It could not happen in a time like this,” he said, of his performance as the slain gay politician. “It’s a time of tremendous overreach. It’s a timid and artless policy toward the human imagination.”
Penn is clearly passionate about the Gus Van Sant-directed film, which won him his second Oscar and which, he says, was “the last time I had a good time” on sets more than 15 years after its 2008 release. He’s part of a class of A-listers from an age where the celebrity class was untouchable, and — like Jerry Seinfeld and Jennifer Aniston — he seems visibly irritated by the shifts in power toward the audience.

Paramount+ has signed a new operative for its CIA thriller The Agency.
Jeffrey Wright has joined the series, which has begun production in London. He’ll star opposite Michael Fassbender, who plays an agency operative called in from an undercover assignment. The series (formerly titled The Department) is based on the acclaimed French drama Le Bureau des Legendes and will stream on the Paramount+ With Showtime premium tier.
The role is the second high-profile TV job Wright has landed in the past month. He’s also set to join season two of HBO’s The Last of Us as Isaac, the leader of a militia group (Wright also voiced the character in The Last of Us Part II video game). The Agency will reunite Wright with his Syriana co-star George Clooney, who’s an executive producer.
In The Agency, Fassbender plays Martian, who’s ordered to abandon his undercover life and return to London Station.

Jeffrey Wright has joined the cast of Paramount+ With Showtime’s upcoming political thriller series “The Agency.”
As exclusively reported by Variety, the series is led by Michael Fassbender as Martian, a covert CIA agent. George Clooney serves as executive producer.
Wright will play Henry, the CIA’s director of operations overseeing non-official cover agents, and a mentor to Martian.
“The Agency” is based on the hit French series “The Bureau,” which ran on Canal+ from 2015 to 2020. Per the official loglline, the new series follows Martian as he’s “ordered to abandon his undercover life and return to London Station. When the love he left behind reappears, romance reignites. His career, his real identity and his mission are pitted against his heart, hurling them both into a deadly game of international intrigue and espionage.”
Wright was most recently seen leading the 2023 film “American Fiction” as Thelonious “Monk” Ellison, and up next,...

Selena Gomez, who continues to redefine her career as a multitalented singer, actress and producer, may soon be adding “Oscar contender” to the mix.
The “Only Murders in the Building” star has proven her acting prowess and demonstrated her versatility as a comedic performer alongside comedy legends Steve Martin and Martin Short in the mystery romp. And now, later this year, Gomez will be seen on the big screen via her Cannes best actress-winning performance (which she shared with her co-stars) in Jacques Audiard’s “Emilia Perez.”
Only three Latinas have been nominated in the lead actress comedy category at the Emmys: Rita Moreno (who was nominated in 1983 for “9 to 5”), America Ferrera (who won in 2007 for “Ugly Betty” and received another nom in 2008) and Jenna Ortega (last year for “Wednesday”).

“The Gray House” actors Mary-Louise Parker and Ben Vereen want people to wake up. Especially before the November election.
“I think they aren’t as horrified as they should be. We could potentially have a convicted felon as our President! There is a real lack of alarm,” Parker tells Variety at the Monte-Carlo Television Festival after the premiere of the Civil War series.
“Such ugliness was unleashed in our country by our previous President. It just spread, like some kind of virus. It gave people a sense of agency about their ignorance, their racism. It’s hard.”
“It’s frightening! People are not upset. There is a whole generation of ‘I don’t care,’” adds Vereen.
“There are scenes in this series that look just like the Jan. 6 [Capitol attack], don’t they. All of a sudden, it comes back into focus. You go: ‘Wow. It is happening again, now.’”

Mary-Louise Parker never shied away from a challenging part. It’s this fearlessness that has translated into success in movies, television, and the Broadway stage. The actress, known for everything from Fried Green Tomatoes and Angels in America to The West Wing, and Weeds, continues to find work she is passionate about. The latest is the upcoming limited series The Gray House. Told across eight episodes, it’s a historical true story centering on unsung women who turned the tide of the American Civil War in favor of the North. A Virginia socialite, her mother, and formerly enslaved sister-in-arms are among those who come together and risk their lives building an underground spy network for the greater good. They ultimately helped turn the tide against the Confederacy. Amethyst Davis, Daisy Head, and Ben Vereen are also part of the ensemble cast.

It’s safe to say a lot of people had a lot of problems with the switch from HBO Max to Max, but there was at least one upside to the streaming shakeup. Now, it’s easier than ever to find the excellent queer stories floating around Warner Bros. Discovery’s platform.
During its lifespan, HBO Max never had an LGBTQ tag to filter its offerings and help subscribers find stories about the queer community more easily: a surprising move for a streamer named after the channel that brought us boundary-breaking works like “Six Feet Under” and the miniseries adaptation of “Angels in America.” That’s been remedied on Max, which features an “LGBTQ+ Voices” collection. You do have to scroll quite far down the homepage to find it in the collections carousel, but when you do, it makes searching for the queer films and shows on the streamer considerably easier.

One of the most versatile stars in Hollywood, Andrew Garfield, has left an indelible mark on the screens thanks to his on-screen charisma and ever-confident persona. Starting off as a stage actor, he has gone on to becoming a two-time Oscar nominee along with making himself a household name following his role in The Amazing Spider-Man movies.
Regardless of such highs, the actor still remains vocal about being as fallible as a human as any other, especially when it comes to reeling under a wave of disappointment and lows.

Even the biggest stars in the world have bad days. This is something erstwhile Spider-Man Andrew Garfield has been open about, whether he's speaking openly about grieving his mother or admitting that he still has the occasional crisis of confidence, even during the height of his success. The actor spoke to BBC Radio 1 about the latter situation in an interview in 2022, and admitted that he had a rather unorthodox comfort show when he was performing as Prior Walter in the towering, intimidating stage masterpiece "Angels in America."
"I'm doing 'Angels in America' in London and I'm staying in my apartment and 'BoJack' was my kind of comfort show during that time," Garfield told interviewer Ali Plumb, referencing Raphael Bob-Waksberg's incredible, now-ended animated series "BoJack Horseman," which centers on a washed-up celebrity horse.

Al Pacino ruled the screens from the 70s up to the 90s with many acclaimed works and performances that won him various awards. The 70s were the seminal decade for the actor that established him as a bankable movie star. Films like Serpico, Dog Day Afternoon, and …And Justice for All proved that Pacino was a force to be reckoned with.

The most popular films that Pacino participated in during the decade were the two Godfather films in 1972 and 1974. However, when the first Godfather was made, Pacino was a young actor and did not know how to execute certain notes from director Francis Ford Coppola. The actor thought that Coppola was extremely disappointed by casting him as Michael Corleone.

You can't do better than Jeffrey Wright, so why even try? The actor is coming off his first-ever Oscar nod for "American Fiction," which is frankly shocking given the pedigree of his previous work. We're talking about the man who starred in Mike Nichols' "Angels in America" miniseries (reprising the role he played in the original Pulitzer Prize-winning play's Broadway debut), spent 15 years playing Felix Leiter, the coolest cat in the Daniel Craig James Bond movies, and was the Mvp of Matt Reeves' "The Batman" as Jim Gordon. He was also everyone's favorite human-turned-host, Bernard Lowe, across all four seasons of "Westworld" and has recently become a member of Wes Anderson's acting troupe.
Now, HBO and "The Last of Us" writers/executive producers Craig Mazin and Neil Druckmann have, very wisely, elected to bring Wright back in the role that he previously tackled via voice-acting and motion-capture in 2020's...

Jeffrey Wright is returning to HBO — and to the world of The Last of Us.
The Emmy winner and recent Oscar nominee has joined the cast for season two of The Last of Us, based on the best-selling video game franchise. Wright will have a recurring role as Isaac, the quietly powerful leader of a large militia group. It’s familiar territory for Wright, who provided the voice for Isaac in The Last of Us Part II game.
Wright is one of a number of new additions to the cast for season two, which is in production and slated for a 2025 premiere. The coming season will also feature Kaitlyn Dever, Isabela Merced, Young Mazino, Ariela Barer, Tati Gabrielle, Spencer Lord and Danny Ramirez, and Catherine O’Hara will be a guest star.
Leads Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey will return, along with fellow season one actors Gabriel Luna and Rutina Wesley.

Wright will appear in the series alongside returning series leads Pedro Pascal and Bella Ramsey as well as Gabriel Luna and Rutina Wesley. New cast members this season include Kaitlyn Dever as Abby, Isabela Merced as Dina, Young Mazino as Jesse, Ariela Barer as Mel, Tati Gabrielle as Nora, Spencer Lord as Owen, and Danny Ramirez as Manny.

Having trouble predicting who will win Best Comedy Supporting Actress at the upcoming Emmy Awards? Let’s consult Gold Derby’s 2024 Emmy Experts! These savvy pundits from major media outlets have chimed in with their predictions, and the majority believe the trophy will go to Meryl Streep (“Only Murders in the Building”). The other potential nominees, per our racetrack odds, are Hannah Einbinder (“Hacks”), Sheryl Lee Ralph (“Abbott Elementary”), Abby Elliott (“The Bear”), Janelle James (“Abbott Elementary”), Liza Colon-Zayas (“The Bear”) and Allison Janney (“Palm Royale”) — but that could all change in the coming months.
As of this writing, a leading nine out of our 15 Emmy Experts predict a victory for Streep for “Only Murders in the Building”: Eric Deggans (NPR), Jazz Tangcay (Variety), Keith Simanton (IMDb), Peter Travers (ABC), Ray Richmond (Gold Derby), Susan King (Gold Derby), Susan Wloszczyna (Gold Derby), Thelma Adams (Gold Derby) and Wilson Morales...

“Slow Horses” star Gary Oldman is the frontrunner to win Best Drama Actor at the upcoming Emmys. Oldman earned his first and only Oscar six years ago for his portrayal of World War II-era British prime minister Winston Churchill in “Darkest Hour.” That win was sandwiched between two other lead bids for “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” (2012) and “Mank” (2021). His sole Emmy nomination to date came in 2001 for his guest appearance in the two-part seventh season finale of “Friends”; he lost to Derek Jacobi (“Frasier”).
On Apple TV+’s “Slow Horses,” which is based on a series of novels by Mick Herron, Oldman plays Jackson Lamb, a particularly uncouth MI5 officer saddled with the responsibility of supervising a group of service rejects. This constitutes his very first regular role on a continuing series and his first live action TV performance at all in over two decades.

Given her one-of-a-kind awards resume and irrefutable status as an acting legend, it’s no wonder Meryl Streep is widely expected to be honored at this year’s Emmys for her work on Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building.” Taking the gold for her first regular comedy series role would be impressive enough, but the noteworthiness of her win would extend far beyond that. Having joined her show in its third season, she would be only the 10th non-original comedy series cast member to ever pull off a lead or supporting Emmy victory.
Not including sketch performers, Streep would be said winners club’s first new entrant in over three decades. The last was Kirstie Alley, who replaced Shelley Long as the female lead of “Cheers” at the start of season six and prevailed on her third Emmy bid in 1991.

Before you make your 2024 Emmy predictions for Best Comedy Supporting Actress, take a look through our photo gallery featuring the ladies most likely to land in the lineup. Since last year’s winner – Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear”) – is now campaigning as a lead, this race is wide open to an array of possible newcomers, past contenders, and even a few former winners.
Currently involved in a tight struggle for first place are 2021-2022 nominee Hannah Einbinder (“Hacks”) and potential category first-timer Meryl Streep (“Only Murders in the Building”), the latter of whom previously achieved two Best TV Movie/Limited Series Actress wins for “Holocaust” (1978) and “Angels in America” (2004). Hoping to challenge them are three of Edebiri’s “The Bear” cast mates: Liza Colon-Zayas, Abby Elliott, and Molly Gordon.
Of Edebiri’s six 2023 competitors, only two – “Abbott Elementary” pair Janelle James and Sheryl Lee Ralph – are involved in the current race.

Al Pacino is the Oscar-winning actor who has starred in dozens of classics throughout his nearly 50 year career, from his star-making breakthrough in “The Godfather” (1972) to his late-career triumph in “The Irishman” (2019). Tour through our photo gallery of Pacino’s 25 greatest films, ranked worst to best.
Though an acting legend, it took Pacino 20 years and eight nominations to finally cash in his Oscar I.O.U. for “Scent of a Woman”. Prior to that he competed for “The Godfather”, “Serpico”, “The Godfather, Part II”, “Dog Day Afternoon”, “… And Justice for All”, “Dick Tracy” and “Glengarry Glen Ross”, but he didn’t win any of those bids.
Surprisingly, his 1992 noms for “Scent of a Woman” and “Glengarry Glen Ross” were followed by a long Academy drought, despite additional critically acclaimed performances in “Heat” (1995), “Donnie Brasco” (1997), “The Insider” (1999) and “Insomnia” (2002). During that time, he became a TV favorite with Emmy-winning turns in...

Apple TV+ has ordered a series adaptation of Mick Herron’s “Down Cemetery Road” with Emma Thompson and Ruth Wilson attached to star, Variety has learned.
This is now the second adaptation of Herron’s books to get the series treatment at Apple, with the other being the popular spy series “Slow Horses” starring Gary Oldman. Morwenna Banks, who is a writer on “Slow Horses,” will serve as lead writer on “Down Cemetery Road.”
The official logline of the new series states, “When a house explodes in a quiet Oxford suburb and a girl disappears in the aftermath, neighbor Sarah Tucker (Wilson) becomes obsessed with finding her and enlists the help of private investigator Zoë Boehm (Thompson). Zoë and Sarah suddenly find themselves in a complex conspiracy that reveals that people long believed dead are still among the living, while the living are fast joining the dead.”

Tony Kushner has come out in support of Jonathan Glazer’s Oscars acceptance speech, describing the British director’s comments at the ceremony as an “unimpeachable irrefutable statement.”
Speaking on the Haaretz Podcast which was released Wednesday, Kushner, a four-time Academy Award nominated screenwriter, was asked about his feelings on a number of topics related to the Israel-Gaza conflict and brought up Glazer’s speech, which has been attacked by some Jewish figures in Hollywood and was the subject of a recent open letter signed by 1,000 people.
During the podcast, Kushner, who is promoting a production of his Tony-award winning play Angels in America that is playing in Tel Aviv, brought up the blowback to Glazer’s Oscars speech, which he described as “really sort of unimpeachable, irrefutable statement.” The playwright was then asked if he agreed with Glazer’s comments, to which Kushner said, “Of course, I mean, who doesn’t?...

Fresh from his Oscar-nominated role in “American Fiction,” Jeffrey Wright has joined the cast of “High and Low.” The re-imagining of the Akira Kurosawa classic thriller is being directed by Spike Lee and will star Denzel Washington. Lee wrote the script with Alan Fox for the English-language adaptation of the story of a wealthy man dealing with a kidnapping. Production on the Apple Original Films starts this month.
In addition to Washington, “High and Low” also stars Ilfenesh Hadera (“Billions”). A24 will release the film theatrically before its global launch on Apple TV+.
The feature will be produced by Todd Black, who worked with Washington on “The Equalizer” films, for Escape Artists and Jason Michael Berman (“Air”) for Mandalay Pictures. In addition to directing, Lee will serve as executive producer through his 40 Acres And A Mule Filmworks. Mandalay’s Peter Guber will serve as executive producer, along with Juniper Productions’ Matthew Lindner,...

To date, only three programs throughout television history have swept the top seven Primetime Emmys categories for series, lead actor, lead actress, supporting actor, supporting actress, writing and directing. The lucky three are: miniseries “Angels in America” (2004), comedy series “Schitt’s Creek” (2020) and drama series “The Crown” (2021). At the upcoming 2024 Emmys, “The Bear” is hoping to join this esteemed list — and it’s all thanks to a savvy category switcheroo from one of its fan-fave stars.
Recently the FX dramedy about a Chicago beef restaurant claimed six of the top seven Primetime Emmys for its first season: comedy series, lead actor Jeremy Allen White as Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, supporting actor Ebon Moss-Bachrach as restaurant manager Richard “Richie” Jerimovich, supporting actress Ayo Edebiri as sous-chef Sydney Adamu, and both writing and directing for Christopher Storer. “The Bear” was not eligible in the lead actress category, so it couldn’t win there and complete the sweep.

Jeffrey Wright is finally an Oscar nominee. The actor’s storied career had already brought him under the direction of masters such as Sidney Lumet, Ang Lee, and most recently, newcomer Cord Jefferson in the satirical dramedy “American Fiction.” But with his Oscar nom, Wright says he feels more supported than ever by the Hollywood community and studios.
“I’ve never had this level of support behind a project that I was central to from the powers that be, the business side of our industry,” he tells Variety‘s Awards Circuit Podcast. “I’ve never had it until now. I’m really grateful for that. We’re here now, and I’m so pleased the film has been recognized across the board. With a small movie and 26 days of filming, our budget was probably the catering budget for the last Bond movie I did.”

The 39th Santa Barbara International Film Festival came to a close Sunday, but one of its highlights came three days earlier, with the last of the filmmaker tributes that serve as the spine of the fest.
On Thursday evening, inside Santa Barbara’s historic 2000-seat Arlington Theatre, veteran stage and screen actor Jeffrey Wright — who is Oscar-nominated for the first time in his nearly 30-year film career, for his leading performance in Cord Jefferson’s American Fiction, a dramedy about race in America — was feted with the fest’s Montecito Award following a deeply engaging career-retrospective conversation with Sbiff executive director and passionate Wright admirer Roger Durling.
Wright, 58, spoke about being raised by his mother and his aunt, and never really even considering acting until he got to Amherst College, where he began to fall in love with the craft (and to abandon the notion of attending law school). He...

Jeffrey Wright is one step closer to that Egot. In January, the D.C. born actor received his first career Oscar nomination for his leading role in the satirical comedy “American Fiction,” an industry recognition that was overdue after years of incredible Wright performances. Should he win come ceremony day, he’ll need a single Grammy to become one of the few elusive talents to complete showbiz’s preeminent grand slam.
Starting his career in theater, Wright earned both his Tony and Emmy awards with the same role: Belize, a nurse and former drag queen in Tony Kushner’s acclaimed two-part epic play “Angels in America.” Wright earned raves for his charisma onstage, and walked away with a Supporting Actor Tony at the 1994 ceremony when he was just 28. In 2003, Wright was the only actor from the play’s original Broadway cast to reprise his role in the HBO limited series adaptation.

Pop quiz: what do Alaskan halibut fishing and Hollywood awards prognostication have in common? Answer: they both require their participants to get up at freakin’ 5:30am on a Tuesday. The former, to barrel deep into the heart of the Kachemak Bay before the Arctic sun drives the delicious whitefish deeper underwater; the latter, to watch attractive Hollywood ingenues Jack Quaid and Zazie Beetz phonetically pronounce the names of film artisans off a teleprompter!

Last week Icon Mann hosted an intimate conversation with “American Fiction” star Jeffrey Wright. The one-night-only career retrospective from stage to film and television was moderated by Tracee Ellis Ross and took place at Soho Works in West Hollywood.
Wright is a well-esteemed actor having reaped Emmy, Tony, and Golden Globe wins over the tenure of his career. He won his first-ever Primetime Emmy in 2004 for Best TV Movie/Limited Series Supporting Actor for “Angels in America,” and earned a Golden Globe for the same show. This year, the actor could be heading towards a slew of other accolades thanks to his portrayal of Thelonious “Monk” Ellison, the English literature professor he portrays in Cord Jefferson‘s comedy “American Fiction.”

Gen-z Media (www.GZMShows.com), the audio network responsible for many of the biggest hit shows for tweens, teens and families, announces its newest heartfelt adventure, Winnie Taylor’s 4th & Inches, an underdog story through the eyes of a teenage girl as she reconnects with her estranged father, a once-prominent quarterback making one last run at glory.
“Winnie Taylor’s 4th & Inches,” an 8-episode serialized podcast, launches on Monday, January 1 for Gzm Family Paid Subscribers, and across all podcast platforms from Monday, January 8. The series releases weekly through the end of February.
A touching and powerful exploration of fatherhood, “Winnie Taylor’s 4th & Inches” is written by Emmy-winner, Allie Dvorin and directed by Ryan Quinn. After her mother’s passing, 13-year old Winnie moves back to Cleveland, Ohio to live with her Dad, a retired NFL quarterback selling house siding, who wants nothing to do with football after an injury-filled career filled with disappointment.

Logan (Brian Cox) once told his kids, “I have you beat” on “Succession,” and the show could basically say the same to its Golden Globe competition. The HBO hit was already expected to dominate prior to nominations, but its record-breaking nine bids for its fourth and final season just underscored how it is truly the one to beat on the drama side — and perhaps nothing can beat it.
The show feels locked and loaded in Best Drama Series at 82/25 odds. It has more than 1,600 predictions to win. No other nominee — “The Last of Us,” “The Crown,” “The Morning Show,” “The Diplomat” and “1923” — has even hit 100 (not a typo) predictions to triumph. “Succession” would tie “The X-Files” and “Mad Men” with a record three drama series trophies, but unlike those two shows, it will never have suffered a loss in the category, which is definitely something to brag about.

Year after year, TV fans continue to be irked when the Golden Globes combine supporting performances from comedies, dramas, limited series and TV movies altogether. Looking through the list of past winners in the female category, you can clearly see there’s a bias toward rewarding dramatic roles over comedic ones. In fact, it’s been a whopping 13 years since a supporting actress from a comedy series prevailed: Jane Lynch (“Glee”). Is there a comedy curse at the Golden Globes? If so, it could finally end this year, as Gold Derby predicts Meryl Streep (“Only Murders in the Building”) will win the race for Best TV Supporting Actress on Sunday, January 7.

Paul Giamatti is the front-runner to win the Golden Globe for Best Film Comedy/Musical Actor for his performance in “The Holdovers.” That’s according to the combined predictions of Gold Derby users who have placed their bets here in our predictions center. But there’s a chance he’ll be upset by Jeffrey Wright for “American Fiction.” Both men are previous Globe champs. Which one will add to his collection?
Giamatti is now a six-time Globe nominee with two previous wins under his belt: one in this category for “Barney’s Version” and one for playing the title role in the 2008 HBO limited series “John Adams.” He leads the current race with 69/20 odds. Among those betting on him as of this writing are 10 out of 13 Expert journalists, eight out of 10 Gold Derby Editors, 16 of our Top 24 Users and 16 of our All-Star Top 24.

The team from HBO’s corporate drama “Succession” are going to be busy in January — for one week in particular. After being delayed by the SAG-AFTRA and WGA strikes, the Primetime Emmys will finally be handed out on January 6, 7 and 15. The Golden Globes are January 7. And the Critics Choice Awards are January 14. Since the series is expected to win most of its nominations in top categories, its cast and crew may want to draft a few different acceptance speeches to keep things fresh. But could it win everything? At the Globes, it’s a distinct possibility.

“Succession” broke the Golden Globes record for the most TV nominations ever in a single year (nine), and it stands a chance of winning all five of the categories it competes in. No TV program has done that since another dominant HBO production, “Angels in America.

Last year “Succession” broke the record for the most acting nominations in a single year at the Emmys with 14, and it tied that tally in its final season in 2023. Like last year there are three women from the show in the Best Drama Guest Actress category, one of whom is a perennial favorite and a previous winner for the HBO satirical drama: Cherry Jones for her role as Nan Pierce.

In the more than 80 years of Golden Globes ceremonies, you probably wouldn’t be surprised to learn that the person who holds the record for receiving the most nominations is Meryl Streep. After all, she’s Meryl! All 33 of her bids (and counting) are in the acting categories for her heralded work across both film and television. To date, eight of those citations resulted in wins: “Kramer vs. Kramer,” “The French Lieutenant’s Woman,” “Sophie’s Choice,” “Adaptation,” “Angels in America,” “The Devil Wears Prada,” “Julie & Julia” and “The Iron Lady.” Her most recent bid, for TV’s “Only Murders in the Building,” is still pending and will be announced on January 7, 2024.

The Santa Barbara International Film Festival will honor Jeffrey Wright with the Montecito Award at a Feb. 15 event. At the event, Wright will discuss his career leading up to this year’s performance in “American Fiction,” for which he has received lead actor nominations for the Gotham, Spirit, Golden Globe and Critics Choice Awards.
“I’ve been a fan of Mr. Wright since I first saw him in 1993 in the original Broadway production of “Angels in America.” I’ve since admired that he brings a high level of class and integrity to every role he does. Yet, no film had capitalized on his extraordinary range and virtuosity until “American Fiction.” It is about time,” Sbiff’s Executive Director Roger Durling.
Wright has received Tony, Emmy, AFI and Golden Globe awards and has appeared in “Rustin,” “No Time to Die,” “Westworld,” “Asteroid City” and “The Batman.”
Past recipients of the Montecito Award include Angela Bassett,...

Meryl Streep has broken her own record as the most-nominated actor in Golden Globes history.
On Monday morning, the actress was nominated for best performance by a supporting female actor for her role in Hulu’s Only Murders in the Building, bringing her total nomination count up to 33.
In the category, Streep was nominated alongside Elizabeth Debicki (The Crown), Abby Elliott (The Bear), Christina Ricci (Yellowjackets), J. Smith-Cameron (Succession) and Hannah Waddingham (Ted Lasso).
In Only Murders, Streep portrayed Loretta Durkin, an actress who starred in Oliver Putnam’s (Martin Short) musical and eventually became his love interest, as they worked together to find season three’s murderers. Showrunner John Hoffman shared Streep’s casting story with The Hollywood Reporter following the most recent finale, and said he hoped the iconic actress will return for season four.
Next on the small screen, Streep makes her debut in Extrapolation‘s second episode,...

For decades, “The Thorn Birds” (1984) and “L.A Law” (1990) shared the Golden Globes record for the most nominations ever received by a TV program in a single year at eight. Now that record has been shattered by “Succession,” which just earned a whopping nine bids on Monday, December 11 (see the complete list of noms). HBO’s family drama is honored for its fourth and final season, which wrapped up this spring to universal acclaim from critics and fans.
Golden Globes history was made when “Succession” netted these nine nominations: drama series, drama actress (Sarah Snook), drama actor x3, supporting actress (J. Smith-Cameron) and supporting actor x3.
