Lena Waithe made history on Sunday night, becoming the first-ever black woman to win an Emmy for comedy writing.
Taking the Emmys stage with co-writer and Master of None castmate Aziz Ansari, Waithe received a standing ovation from the star-studded audience.
Waithe thanked her mother “for inspiring the story and letting me share it with the world,” and gave a shout out to her “Lgbqtia family.”
“I see each and every one of you,” she said. “The things that make us different are our super powers.”

I Origins tells the story of Dr. Ian Gray (Michael Pitt), a molecular biologist studying the evolution of the eye. He finds his work permeating his life after a brief encounter with an exotic young woman (Astrid Bergès- Frisbey) who slips away from him.
As his research continues years later with his lab partner Karen (Brit Marling), they make a stunning scientific discovery that has far reaching implications and complicates both his scientific and spiritual beliefs. Traveling half way around the world, he risks everything he has ever known to validate his theory.
Like director Mike Cahill’s first film, 2011 Sundance Film Festival winner Another Earth, I Origins is a personal and unconventional exploration of the mysteries of the scientific world. To Cahill, scientists are important role models for filmmakers.
“They spend their lives asking the big questions,” he explains. “Why are we here? What are we made of? They...

No two people have the same ones. We know this because in the movies, detectives can flash thousands of fingerprints across the screen and, despite the vast numbers are able to pinpoint which ones match the model. In other words, nobody has yet found two living people with the same prints. What would you think, [ Read More ]

Melissa Leo, who picked up an Academy Award for Best Supporting Actress last month for her role in The Fighter, was at the New York’s Union Square Best Buy for a launch event for HBO’s Treme: The Complete First Season the other day and Disc Dish was able to have a few minutes with her in a back room (okay, don’t get any ideas!). We only had a few minutes before she had to run off and join her Treme co-stars Wendell Pierce and Rob Brown to sign a bunch of Blu-ray (read our review) and DVD copies for a healthy throng of fans. But, in my short time with Leo, I found her to be exuberant, sharp and funny — and remarkably proud and thankful that she makes her living as an actor. Here’s how our conversation went…

Chicago – For fans of “The Wire,” expectations are ludicrously high for HBO’s “Treme” (pronounced “tre-may”), the newest dramatic work from David Simon and Eric Overmyer. Two of the creative voices behind one of the best television programs of all time have turned their focus from Baltimore to New Orleans and lost none of their dramatic resonance, delivering an incredibly rewarding show that will have viewers tapping their feet to the rhythm of a city that doesn’t just “enjoy” or “play” music, it needs it to survive.
Television Rating: 5.0/5.0
Unlike a lot of programs or films about musical cities (the many Motown stories, even most musician biopics, etc.), the healing and communicative power of music is not merely the background for melodrama on “Treme”. In a show named after a musical section of New Orleans, it is a part of the fabric of the lives of every single character.
