Innholdsfortegnelse for Emmy Special 1 August 2017 i The Hollywood Reporter

Earning a limited series Emmy nomination this past season was no easy feat. It helped to have a pair of battling brothers who make Cain and Abel seem like the Hemsworth boys. Two doyennes of the silver screen also came in handy, as did a bunch of well-to-do liars, some theoretical physicists and a group of complex convicts. But to make those characters leap off the screen, it took a boatload of exceptional acting performances, the kind that garnered Emmy nominations of their own. The five limited series nominees — Fargo, Feud, Big Little Lies, Genius and The Night Of — earned nearly all of the limited series/TV movie acting noms this year, including for all of their leads. The showrunners certainly appreciate this embarrassment of riches. Fargo’s Noah Hawley…

Jan. 8 Golden Globes “[This is] one of my personal favorites,” says Stewart of the custom-made canary yellow, paillette-embroidered Michael Kors Collection gown, which was paired with more than 90 carats of Harry Winston diamonds. “It symbolized strength and happiness and was a great start to a great awards season!” Jan. 15 BAFTA: A Life in Pictures Davis donned a merino wool dress, accented with red and black snakeskin trim and black patent heels, to a London event honoring her work. “Mimi Plange is a new, young, unknown talent, and Viola loves to support young talent,” Stewart says of the designer who created the dramatic, figure-hugging frock.

FARGO “ There’s something about this show that continually finds its way to greatness. Granted, Fargo’s not for everybody. … What remains interesting about the series is the unparalleled zeal Hawley has for telling a story that allows for outrageous serendipity, humorous misfortune, pathos, violence, both broad and nuanced comedy, a deep exploration of familial bonds, a love of language and its confusions, an interest in local traditions, a study of the fear of change and, of course, that obsession with what happens when evil passes through (or bubbles up from within) smaller American towns with a tight-knit social fabric and certain niceties that locals cling to almost against their better judgment when facing it.” — TIM GOODMAN, APRIL 11 GENIUS “ Genius is an above-average event series about an extraordinary man.…

Laura Dern has played mom to Reese Witherspoon (in Wild) and Shailene Woodley (The Fault in Our Stars), two of her fellow Emmy-nominated actresses from HBO’s limited series Big Little Lies. However, on the show, her character, Renata Klein, a working mother determined to find out who is bullying her child, is a threatening adversary to both. Dern spoke to THR about why she relished playing a character viewers loved to hate (and then eventually love) and how she has been juggling her busy schedule, one that includes reuniting with David Lynch for Showtime’s Twin Peaks and with Alexander Payne for his upcoming film, Downsizing, as well as a trip to a galaxy far, far away in Disney’s Star Wars: The Last Jedi (both films are out in December). What’s…

Adam West, 88 Batman Raised on a ranch outside Walla Walla, Washington, West caught the attention of a Batman producer when he played a James Bond-type character on Nestle’s Quik commercials. He then kept his tongue firmly in cheek while wearing the iconic mask on the 1966-68 series. He played Batman “for laughs,” he said, “but in order to do [that], one had to never think it was funny. You just had to pull on that cowl and believe that no one would recognize you.” Martin Landau, 89 Mission: Impossible Revered for his skills by actors everywhere, the former New York newspaper cartoonist starred on the CBS show with his wife (and future Space: 1999 co-star) Barbara Bain after turning down the role of Mr. Spock on Star Trek. Not once did…

Memorable moments from a storied history 1974 1975 1976 1977 1978 1979 1980 1981 1982 1983 1984 1985 1986 1987 1988 1989 1990 1991 1992 1993 The Emmys occasionally have shown a soft spot for female buddy shows. The classic case would be CBS’ police procedural Cagney & Lacey, which aired from 1982 to 1988. One of the show’s two leads, Tyne Daly and Sharon Gless, took home the lead actress in a drama series award for six years straight. Fast-forward to 2015, and a sitcom example would be Netflix’s Grace and Frankie. In 2016, Lily Tomlin was nominated, and this year, both she and co-star Jane Fonda are in the running for lead actress in a comedy series. That pairing harkens to another sitcom named for its two lead…
