The 2023 Emmy Award nominees were announced this morning during a virtual event hosted by actor Yvette Nicole Brown and TV Academy chair Frank Scherma.

This year’s list is the typical blend of returning favorites (‘Succession’, ‘Ted Lasso’, ‘Abbott Elementary’) and some new breakthroughs ‘Beef’, ‘Wednesday’ and two ‘Star Wars’ shows, ‘Andor’ and ‘Obi-Wan Kenobi’ –– the latter more of a surprise since it received mixed reviews.

There were, as always, surprises ––no sign of Harrison Ford for ‘Shrinking’ or anything for ‘Yellowstone’, but Keri Russell made it in for ‘The Diplomat’.

Here are the main categories. Did you favorites make the list?

‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ and ‘Banshees of Inisherin’ Lead SAG Nominations

With the Golden Globes in the rear view, attention turned to the awards––or at least their nomination announcement––chosen exclusively by Hollywood’s acting community, the Screen Actors Guild awards.

Because of the large size of the voting body, the SAG awards tend to be a decent pointer to who could be looking at an Oscar for acting, or at the very least, a nomination.

So you’ve got to feel sorry for Tom Cruise today, as neither he nor his ‘Top Gun: Maverick’ cast made the list. Though it does seem more likely that the movie has a shot at a Best Picture nomination and plenty of technical nods at the Academy Awards, the chatter about Cruise’s performance and the warm reception for the likes of Glenn Powell and the other ‘Top Gun’ ensemble hasn’t translated into acting kudos here.

Many of the main categories are the expected batch of returning names (Cate Blanchett, Viola Davis for example) plus the breakthroughs such as ‘Elvis’ Austin Butler and ‘Till’s Danielle Deadwyler. ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’, led by cast members Brendan Gleeson, Colin Farrell, Kerry Condon and Barry Keoghan, is a clear favorite and seems likely to pick up several trophies.

Also dominating categories as it has in other awards nomination list is ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once’, with most of the main cast scoring nods this time. Adam Sandler is also something of a surprise, though his performance in basketball drama ‘Hustle’ has won plenty of praise.

Steven Spielberg’s ‘The Fabelmans’ was among the ensemble nods, and Paul Dano was nominated for his leading role, but there was something of a shock as Michelle Williams, whose work as a character based on the director’s mother has been both nominated and won elsewhere but didn’t even crack the nominations here.

Brendan Fraser continues to score support for his performance in ‘The Whale’, which also saw a nomination for co-star Hong Chau, but surprisingly not for its ensemble, which also includes Samantha Morton and Sadie Sink.

Conversely, ‘Babylon’ notched zero nominations for the separate likes of Margot Robbie and Brad Pitt (who have appeared on other lists) but did appear in the ensemble section. It’s perhaps telling that ‘Babylon’, which has largely fizzled at the box office, is having a quieter awards season despite being a more recent release than some of its competition.

On the TV side of the list, there were also few surprises, though Taylor Sheridan’s ‘Yellowstone’ casts are starting to make more of an impact.

But while it was good to see the nominations for ‘Better Call Saul, it remains an outright crime that Rhea Seehorn isn’t on the list for her work as Kim Wexler.

Much like the movies, there was the standard mix of people who have won plenty of awards before (Julia Garner of ‘Ozark’, for example, or the ‘Only Murders in the Building’ cast) and those whose shows are brand new ‘The Bear’, which has been an awards favorite so far.

Golden Globe Nominations Announced

Even as backing organization the Hollywood Foreign Press Association continues to try to dig its way out of an avalanche of scandals about diversity, payments for members and exclusionary tactics, the Golden Globes are making something of comeback after the ceremony wasn’t broadcast this year.

The biggest nominee overall was Martin McDonagh’s ‘The Banshees of Inisherin’, with the film scoring nods in Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, Best Director and Screenplay for McDonagh, Best Actor, musical or comedy for Colin Farrell Best Supporting Actor in a motion picture for both Brendan Gleeson and Barry Keoghan, Best Supporting Actress in a motion picture for Kerry Condon and score for Carter Burwell.

Also doing well (somewhat expectedly given its nomination and win success so far) was ‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’, also appearing in Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy, Best Actress, Musical or Comedy for Michelle Yeoh, Best Supporting actor (Ke Huy Quan) and Best supporting actress (Jamie Lee Curtis), while writer/directors Daniels––AKA Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert––were nominated for their script and direction.

Next on the list was Damien Chazelle’s ‘Babylon’ with nominations in Best Motion Picture, Musical or Comedy and nods for cast such as Diego Calva, Margot Robbie, Brad Pitt.

(L to R) Gabriel LaBelle and co-writer/producer/director Steven Spielberg on the set of ‘The Fabelmans.’

On the drama front, Steven Spielberg’s ‘The Fabelmans’ was the front-runner, taking a Best Motion Picture, Drama slot (where it will compete against the likes of ‘Elvis’, ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’, ‘Tár’ and ‘Top Gun: Maverick’) plus Best Actress (Michelle Williams), Best Director (Spielberg), Screenplay (Spielberg and Tony Kushner) and Best Original Score (John Williams).

Actors nominated in the drama category included ‘Elvis’ Austin Butler, ‘Tár’s Cate Blanchett, ‘Empire of Light’s Olivia Colman, ‘Blonde’s Ana de Armas, Bill Nighy for ‘Living’ and Hugh Jackman for ‘The Son’.

Tom Cruise was surprisingly left out of the acting nominations, though perhaps not too shockingly since he gave back his previous globes in protest against the HFPA’s behavior. We’re more surprised to see Brendan Fraser nominated for ‘The Whale’, since he’s long been on record as criticizing the inappropriate behavior of a former HFPA president towards him from years ago.

The Globes continue to have a bad reputation for almost ignoring female creative talent on the several fronts outside of acting and a few craft categories, but at least ‘Turning Red’s Domee Shi notched up a Best Animated Motion Picture, becoming the first woman of color to have a movie she directed up for an award.

New Trailer for ‘The Crown’ Season 5’

DKMgnb50
Following on from the release of new photos from ‘The Crown’s fifth season, Netflix has now revealed the first full trailer for the next batch of episodes for the show, which is described as a fictional dramatization inspired by real events (all the better to answer back to Dame Judi Dench, who has no connection to the show and wrote to a London newspaper calling it “cruel” to the royal family and demanding a disclaimer before each episode).

With the 1990s in full swing, the Royal Family are presented with possibly their biggest challenge to date as the public openly question their role in Britain.

As Queen Elizabeth II approaches the 40th anniversary of her accession, she reflects on a reign that has encompassed nine prime ministers, the advent of mass television and the twilight of the British Empire. Yet new challenges are on the horizon.

The collapse of the Soviet Union and the transfer of sovereignty in Hong Kong signals a seismic shift in the international order presenting both obstacles and opportunities.

Meanwhile, trouble is brewing closer to home. Prince Charles pressures his mother to allow him to divorce Diana, presenting a constitutional crisis of the monarchy.

Rumors circulate as husband and wife are seen to live increasingly separate lives and, as media scrutiny intensifies, Diana decides to take control of her own narrative, breaking with family protocol to publish a book that undermines public support for Charles and exposes the cracks in the House of Windsor.

Tensions are set to rise further, as Mohamed Al Fayed (Salim Daw) arrives on the scene. Driven by his desire for acceptance of the highest order, he harnesses his self-made wealth and power to try and earn him and his son Dodi (Khalid Abdalla) a seat at the royal table – and Dodi’s connection to Diana will forever shape the monarchy going forward.

Imelda Staunton inherits the role of The Queen from Olivia Colman, while Jonathan Pryce is the new incumbent in the part of her husband, Prince Philip, following Tobias Menzies.

Swapping in for Josh O’Connor and Emma Corrin as Prince Charles and Princess Diana are Dominic West and Elizabeth Debicki.

Teddy Hawley is Prince Harry and Timothee Sambor is Prince William, though because of the young princes aging more obviously than their elders, the roles of Harry and his brother will switch to Will Powell and Senan West (Dominic’s son) in later episodes.

Lesley Manville takes over as Princess Margaret (following Helena Bonham-Carter’s run), with Claudia Harrison as the new Princess Anne and Olivia Williams replacing Emerald Fennell as Charles’ lover (and future wife) Camilla Parker Bowles.

More tellingly, and presaging future tragedy, Salim Daw is playing Mohamed Al Fayed, who would romance Diana after her divorce, and Khalid Abdalla has the role of Dodi Fayed, his father.

Perhaps most intriguing is the casting of Jonny Lee Miller as John Major, who succeeds Margaret Thatcher as Prime Minster.

Scored to The Verve’s ‘Bittersweet Symphony’, the new trailer really highlights the mood of this new season. The episodes will arrive on Netflix on November 9th.

The duke of York, nicknamed Bertie (James Wilby), was born as royal ‘spare heir’, younger brother to the prince of Wales, and thus expected to spend a relatively private life with his Scottish wife Elisabeth Bowes-Lyon (Juliet Aubrey) and their daughters, in the shadow of their reigning father, George V (Alan Bates), and next that of his elder brother who succeeded to the British throne as Edward VIII (Charles Edwards). However Edward decides to put his love for a divorced American, Wallis Simpson (Amber Rose Sealey), above dynastic duty, and ends up abdicating the throne, which now falls to Bertie, who reigns as George VI.

Elizabeth: A Portrait in Part(s) (2022)

Elizabeth is an archive-based documentary film about the Queen. A celebration. A truly cinematic mystery-tour up and down the decades: poetic, funny, disobedient, ungovernable, affectionate, inappropriate, mischievous, in awe. Funny. Moving. Different. The Queen as never before.

Netflix

Heavy is the head that wears “The Crown” — and this time, that head belongs to Olivia Colman.

In a new teaser featuring the Oscar-winning actress as Queen Elizabeth II, Netflix announced that Season 3 of its acclaimed drama will premiere November 17.

When it returns, the series will have experienced an extreme makeover, with new actors playing the lead roles. Colman will take over as the queen, from Emmy winner Claire Foy. Tobias Menzies will play Prince Philip in place of Matt Smith, while Helena Bonham Carter inherits the role of Princess Margaret from Vanessa Kirby.

Also joining the cast are Ben Daniels as Margaret’s husband Anthony Armstrong-Jones, Charles Dance as Lord Mountbatten, Marion Bailey as the Queen Mother, Josh O’Connor as Prince Charles, Erin Doherty as Princess Anne, and Jason Watkins as Prime Minister Harold Wilson.

Season 3 will span the years of 1964 to 1976. During this time, Prince Charles first romanced Camilla Parker Bowles (played by Emerald Fennell). Princess Margaret’s marriage to Lord Snowdon began to break down. And major events like the moon landing, the 1976 Montreal Olympics, and England’s victory in the 1966 World Cup occurred.

‘The Crown’ Has Found its Princess Diana

Faye Thomas

An iconic member of the royal family will be making her way to “The Crown” soon, with the series revealing that it has cast the role of Diana Spencer, the future Princess of Wales.

The Hollywood Reporter has the scoop that newcomer Emma Corrin has nabbed the juicy role, and will first appear as the character in season four of the Netflix series. That’s a switch from the previous plan to introduce Diana in season three, which is in production now and expected to be released sometime later this year.

“Emma is a brilliant talent who immediately captivated us when she came in for the part of Diana Spencer,” said “The Crown” creator Peter Morgan in a statement. “As well as having the innocence and beauty of a young Diana, she also has, in abundance, the range and complexity to portray an extraordinary woman who went from anonymous teenager to becoming the most iconic woman of her generation.”

Corrin is set to make her feature film debut in the upcoming historical drama “Misbehavior.” Her U.S. series regular television debut will be on Epix drama “Pennyworth,” the Batman prequel series about the life of butler Alfred Pennyworth.

But “The Crown” could very well be her crowning achievement, which the actress is not taking for granted.

“Beyond excited and honored to be joining ‘The Crown’ for its fourth season,” Corrin said in a statement. “I have been glued to the show since the first episode and to think I’m now joining this incredibly talented acting family is just surreal. Princess Diana was an icon, and her effect on the world remains profound and inspiring. To be given the chance to explore her through Peter Morgan’s writing is the most exceptional opportunity, and I will strive to do her justice!”

Corrin is just the latest high-profile addition to the cast, following Gillian Anderson, who is set to portray UK prime minister Margaret Thatcher. Like Corrin, Anderson won’t be appearing until season four.

Season three of “The Crown” will mark the debut of the recast roles of Queen Elizabeth, Prince Philip, and Princess Margaret, among others. Olivia Colman, Tobias Menzies, and Helena Bonham Carter will be taking over for Claire Foy, Matt Smith, and Vanessa Kirby, respectively.

No word yet on a premiere date for season three or season four. Stay tuned.

Gillian Anderson to Play Margaret Thatcher on ‘The Crown’ Season 4

BBC

Season three of Netflix’s splashy series “The Crown” hasn’t even premiered yet, but some casting scoop about the show’s fourth season should have fans even more eager for the show’s return.

London’s Sunday Times is reporting that Gillian Anderson will be joining the show, playing Britain’s first female prime minister, Margaret Thatcher. Thatcher, known by the nickname “the Iron Lady,” was a formidable — and controversial — figure in UK politics, and we can’t wait to see what the ridiculously talented Anderson does with the juicy role.

Meryl Streep took home an Oscar for playing Thatcher in 2011’s “The Iron Lady.” We’re assuming Anderson will earn some Emmys love for her portrayal, too.

It’s not entirely clear what timeline season four will follow, since we still don’t know the end date of season three, which will feature a new cast, playing older versions of the characters from the first two seasons of “The Crown.” The third season is set to cover major events of the 1960s, and is expected to run through the early years of the 1970s. Thatcher served as Prime Minister from 1979 to 1990.

Season three of “The Crown” is expected to hit Netflix sometime this year. Good luck being patient.

‘The Crown’ Season 3 Casts Camilla With ‘Call the Midwife’ Star Emerald Fennell

BBC/PBS

“The Crown” has found the love of Prince Charles’ life.

Netflix’s royal drama is casting “Call the Midwife” star Emerald Fennell as the young Camilla Shand, later Camilla Parker Bowles, later Camilla, the Duchess of Cornwall (and eventually, Camilla the Princess Consort).

Season 3 of “The Crown” makes a time jump to the 1970s, when Prince Charles (to be played by Josh O’Connor) first met and dated Camilla when they were in their early 20s. Their relationship ended after he went on a tour of duty with the Royal Navy. She then married Andrew Parker Bowles and he went on to marry Lady Diana Spencer — and we all know what followed.

Fennell is also a screenwriter who will take over penning Season 2 of “Killing Eve” for creator Phoebe Waller-Bridge.

“I’m absolutely over the moon, and completely terrified, to be joining so many hugely talented people on ‘The Crown,’” Fennell said in a statement. “I absolutely love Camilla, and am very grateful that my teenage years have well prepared me for playing a chain-smoking serial snogger with a pudding bowl haircut.”

“The Crown” is undergoing a major makeover fo Season 3, with new actors playing all the principal roles. Olivia Colman takes over for Claire Foy as Queen Elizabeth II, Tobias Menzies replaces Matt Smith as Prince Philip, and Helena Bonham Carter will play Princess Margaret in place of Vanessa Kirby.

Matt Smith Joins ‘Star Wars: Episode IX’

Netflix

The “Star Wars” universe just keeps expanding: Matt Smith has joined the sprawling cast of the upcoming “Episode IX.”

Variety has the scoop that the “Doctor Who” and “The Crown” alum will be featured in the flick, playing a “key role.” As per usual with Disney and Lucasfilm flicks so early on in the production process, no other details about Smith’s casting were available.

“Episode IX” has already added a number of high-profile stars to the galaxy far, far away in recent weeks, including two who have previously worked with director J.J. Abrams: Keri Russell (who played the titular character on Abrams’s WB series “Felicity,” and later appeared in the director’s “Mission: Impossible III“) and Dominic Monaghan (who starred on the Abrams-produced “Lost”). They join fellow “Star Wars” newcomers Naomi Ackie and Richard E. Grant.

As if those impressive names weren’t enough, the returning cast list is equally starry and ridiculously sprawling. It includes Daisy Ridley, Adam Driver, John Boyega, Oscar Isaac, Lupita Nyong’o, Domhnall Gleeson, Kelly Marie Tran, Joonas Suotamo, Billie Lourd, Anthony Daniels, Billy Dee Williams, and Mark Hamill. The late Carrie Fisher will also be featured, in the form of bonus footage from the filming of “The Last Jedi.”

We can’t wait to see how Smith factors into the production. (And can’t wait for this movie, period.) The film is shooting now in the UK.

“Star Wars: Episode IX” is due in theaters on December 20, 2019.
