The PBS SoCal special “Variety Studio: Actors on Actors” is among the nominees for the 67th annual Los Angeles Area Emmy Awards.
The interview special that features pairings of prominent actors discussing their craft is a contender in the entertainment programming category. “Actors on Actors,” a co-production between Variety and PBS SoCal, will vie against Ktla’s “Live From the Oscars” and Kcbs/Kcal’s “Lexus: Music Uncovered” series.

Magnolia digs Zobel's 'Sound' for N. America
NEW YORK -- Magnolia Pictures nabbed North American rights to Craig Zobel's satirical black comedy Great World of Sound, an entry in this week's South by Southwest Film Festival.
Sound, which had its premiere in January at the Sundance Film Festival, follows two Southerners who unwittingly become part of a record industry scam operation. The feature combines narrative filmmaking with lead actors Patrick Healy and Kene Holliday and documentary-style "auditions" from aspiring performers unaware at the time that they were part of a film.
"Magnolia is one of the most progressive, exciting companies out there," said Zobel, a first-time feature director. "They were at the top of the wish list in my hopes of getting distribution."
Magnolia's Mark Cuban said: "Having performers come to a constructed set in response to classified ads was a brilliant choice on Craig's part," said Cuban, who co-owns Magnolia with Todd Wagner. Magnolia plans an early fall release.
The film is a GWS Media and Plum Pictures presentation.
