Do you remember your frame of mind three months ago? How about five months ago? Well, imagine trying to remember the scuttlebutt and vibes when Television Academy members voted for the 2023 Primetime Emmy Awards last…August. Of course, the 75th Anniversary ceremony was supposed to be held on September 19th, but Hollywood had more important things going on with the WGA and SAG strikes.

After “The Last of Us” took eight trophies on Saturday night, the Television Academy pivoted toward more reality awards for the second night of the Creative Arts Emmy Awards. FX’s “Welcome to Wrexham” was the big winner taking six awards including a big win in the Unstructured Reality Program Emmy.

The 2023 Emmy Award season should have ended on September 19th. Because of both the WGA and SAG strikes the ceremonies were pushed to January.

It might be time for Nick Murray to get that Emmy Award hat trick. The television veteran already has two Emmy trophies for Outstanding Directing for a Reality Program, but his work on “RuPaul’s Drag Race” season 15 might just land him his third.

Sometimes you meet someone in this business and within minutes you immediately understand why they are so successful. Ben Winston, a producer, director and co-founder of the production entity Fulwell 73 is absolutely one of those people.

Cody Heller was a writer on “Wilfred.” A series where Daniel Radcliffe’s character imagined his neighbor’s pet as a real person in a dog suit. She created “Dummy,” a show where Anna Kendrick became friends with her boyfriend’s sex doll.

John Hoffman is happy the Television Academy didn’t forget “Only Murders In The Building’s” second season which was released over a year ago. Not only did the show earn a second Outstanding Comedy Series nomination, but he and two of his co-writers (Matteo Borghese and Rob Turbovsky, in particular) were recognized in the Outstanding Writing For A Comedy Series category.

January is going to be slightly busier than normal. With the SAG and WGA strikes currently still ongoing, it was only a matter of time before the Television Academy and this year’s Emmy broadcast partner, FOX, moved the ceremony out of its originally scheduled Sept.

You may be unaware of one of Emmy’s embarrassing little secrets. The Television Movie category.

If you were planning to sit in front of your television on September 18th and watch the Primetime Emmy Awards your schedule has now freed up. With both the WGA and SAG strikes still in effect and parties not even at the negotiating table (something you can blame the studios and networks for), it is logistically impossible for the 75th Emmy Awards to occur on that date.

After the COVID crisis just three years ago, Hollywood is once again at a historic moment. Strikes by the Screen Actors Guild and the Writers Guild of America have brought the production of anything narrative to a halt.

HBO‘s “The Last Of Us” ratcheted up 24 Emmy nominations yesterday, coming second in total noms only to its HBO brethren “Succession.” Not a bad haul for a show’s first season. But despite all of that recognition, EW reports that showrunner Craig Mazin expects that Season 2 of his hit series will continue to “shock people” and polarize audiences.

The Writer’s Guild strike has taken its toll on a lot of creative people in Hollywood. And we’re not just talking about the hot sidewalks writers and other guild members have been canvassing over the past few months.

On a pivotal day for Hollywood’s work stoppage, some actors, writers, and creatives had something to celebrate. A quick respite of joy from the picket lines (or potential picket lines) in the form of 2024 Emmy Award nominations.

The Television Academy giveth and the Television Academy taketh away. Outside of the Recording Academy, there is likely no awards body that frustrates the public, media, and industry more than Emmy Awards voters.

Hollywood may be bracing for a potential second work stoppage later today, but this morning was a joyous one for many with the announcement of the 2023 Primetime Emmy Awards nominations. Yvette Nicole Brown and Television Academy Chair Frank Scherma revealed a slew of nominees led by “Succession” with 27 nominations, “The Last of Us” with 24 mentions, and “The White Lotus” with 23 nominations.

It’s always a strange time in Hollywood, but it’s an understatement to say everything is really off-kilter right now. Obviously, the Writers Guild strike has brought a majority of television and film production to a halt.

Almost a year ago, songwriter, producer, and music artist Leland and “RuPaul’s Drag Race” executive producer Tom Campbell began working on the latest “Rusical” or mini-musical for the 16th season of the Emmy-winning reality competition program. A staple of the series, Leland had written numerous Rusicals centered on everyone from Madonna to The Kardashians, and, in theory, this year would be no different.

You might assume that after “Dead Ringers,” even Oscar winner Rachel Weisz would reconsider tackling the responsibility of portraying two leading roles in a six-hour limited series again. But, you’d be wrong.

When Andy Serkis tells you that a Science Fiction or Fantasy story is special, believe him. An integral part of the most recent “The Lord of the Rings” and “Planet of the Apes” cinematic franchises, the celebrated British actor and filmmaker knows how hard it is to balance real-world themes in fantastical worlds.

No, we didn’t ask Leo Woodall about the “scene” in “The White Lotus” season two. Maybe we should have.

Sometimes there is no greater thrill than taking a gigantic risk and being rewarded for it. In many ways, that’s what Tony Gilroy, Diego Luna and the cast and crew of “Andor” have experienced over the past year.

“Abbott Elementary” was an Emmy force in its first season. Over its seven nominations, creator Quinta Brunson got a Lead Actress in a Comedy nomination and won for her writing.

Incredibly, the super-talented Murray Bartlett is still on a roll. The Aussie native spent years working in television and film on both sides of the Pacific but outside of a prominent role in HBO’s “Looking,” Bartlett was a bit under the radar even in Hollywood.

Over just two seasons, “Abbott Elementary” has become something of a cultural tipping point. Creator and star Quinta Brunson is on her way to becoming a household name.
