The three multi-hyphenates will have more than one chance at recognition across various categories for producing, acting, directing, writing and editing. “The Curse” explores the tumultuous lives of a married couple (Fielder and Stone), who encounter a string of misfortunes while filming an HGTV series in New Mexico.
Their challenges are compounded by a dubious “curse” and a manipulative producer (Safdie), which together threaten both the show and their relationship. Stone, fresh off her second best actress Oscar win for her role in Yorgos Lanthimos’ “Poor Things,” is eyeing her first Emmy nod. She seeks recognition for her portrayal of Whitney, the co-host of the couple’s show about eco-friendly homes.
Additionally, Stone is vying for a guest comedy actress nod for her hilarious stint on NBC’s “Saturday Night Live.” Winning in either category would make her the third woman to clinch both acting Oscars and Emmys in the same year, a feat previously achieved by Helen Hunt in 1997 and Helen Mirren in 2006. Stone also contributes as an executive producer, alongside Fielder and Safdie. Both Fielder and Safdie have four entries each in the mix.
They co-wrote the pilot, “Land of Enchantment,” which will represent the series in the writing category. Pilot episodes often receive favorable attention from the writing peer group, which will make them likely candidates for a mention. Fielder is competing in lead drama actor and is also in the directing drama race for the wild and crazy finale episode “Green Queen,”
