In September 2021, Olivia Colman bagged her first career Emmy for “The Crown” despite having failed on her Oscar bid for “The Father” five months earlier. This made her the 16th performer to triumph at the Emmys after going home empty-handed at the same year’s Oscars and the fourth to do so during the 21st century. The release of the 2024 Emmy nominations ballots confirmed that nine of the 16 actors who lost at the latest Oscars ceremony are capable of joining Colman on said list.
Gold Derby’s current Emmy odds indicate that the man and woman with the best hopes of following in Colman’s footsteps are Ryan Gosling and Jodie Foster, who just earned their respective third and fifth Academy Award notices for their supporting turns in “Barbie” and “Nyad.” They are now generally expected to share in the experience of being first-time acting Emmy nominees thanks to his...

Drew Carey likes to have fun with some of the contestants when they appear on The Price is Right. Since he replaced Bob Barker as the host, he has brought part of his comic sensibilities to the role and has a few fun one-liners and zingers he gives to contestants. This includes his comments to a woman named Karen this past week.
Here is what the woman did that caused Drew to refer to her as the “Original Karen.”

Drew Carey was hosting an episode of The Price is Right last week and it had one of the most shocking game wins in the show’s history. However, on top of that shocking win, there was also a moment where Drew called out a contestant who was earing a shirt that said “Original Karen.”

A contestant dubbed “the original Karen” amused host Drew Carey on The Price Is Right but had some viewers riled up.
Throughout the episode, the popular game show features contestants called down to Contestant’s Row for a chance to join Drew on stage.
Once there, The Price Is Right announcer George Gray and the various models present prizes on stage to these contestants.
One by one, the contestants bid for what they think the prize or prize package is worth.
As many longtime fans of the show already know, there’s a common bidding strategy that many contestants use to try to get on stage.
Viewers reacted to a recent moment when a contestant employed that strategy, with Drew joking about it and fans saying they disapproved.

A column chronicling conversations and events on the awards circuit.
Ballots were delivered to eligible Television Academy members as of yesterday (due back June 24th by 10 pm pt), and that means all the months of campaigning for nominations is now in the hands of Emmy voters.
Actually, this season has been a litte weird due to the strike-related delay of last year’s 75th Emmys to January 15, as FYCs and other related events to the 76th Emmy awards season were just beginning. On top of that, the 96th Oscar season was still going full-force until mid-March. It could all get very confusing, given that a number of people up for Oscars are also in the thick of the Emmys this year, meaning they have been in essentially non-stop campaign mode — for some even as far back as Cannes 2023, and for others since the Fall festivals officially kicked off Oscar season.

On Tuesday, The Price is Right fans were angry when CBS interrupted the popular game show with a new brief. What made fans mad was that the network played out the news recap for almost half an hour, causing fans to miss most of the show. This was, according to many fans, “unnecessary.”
Here is what CBS did that annoyed The Price is Right fans.
CBS Interrupts Show For Breaking News Brief
The Price is Right was on Tuesday morning for its regular episode, but then CBS interrupted the show for a news break. CBS released the news that Hunter Biden was found guilty of three felony convictions in his gun trial. The breaking news began to flash across the screen about 20 minutes into the game show before cutting away to news coverage.

Before the 2024 Oscars ceremony took place, three of the four eventual acting winners had already filmed TV performances that now put them in contention for the upcoming Emmys. If Emma Stone, Da’Vine Joy Randolph, and Robert Downey Jr. all end up achieving TV academy recognition this year, they will set a record as the first set of three concurrent acting Oscar recipients to appear on the same year’s Emmy ballot.
Randolph, who scored an Oscar in March for her supporting turn in “The Holdovers,” is seeking her first career Emmy notice for reprising her comedic guest role of Detective Donna Williams during the third season of Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building.” According to Gold Derby’s odds, she comfortably ranks as her show’s strongest guest acting candidate, even outpacing first season nominee Jane Lynch.

Sometimes, contestants experience embarrassing and tough-to-watch moments on The Price Is Right, including bad luck or failed attempts to win the games.
One of the game show’s big moments involves a contestant spinning the wheel, where they could potentially win big money.
A contestant achieved impressive wheel spins in one recent episode after losing a brand-new car on the show.
However, another contestant didn’t fare as well during the Mother’s Day episode, and the audience let them hear about it.
Host Drew Carey also couldn’t help but laugh about the situation despite trying to give his assistance.
It was part of a bizarre and brutal sequence of events during an event celebrating the annual holiday.

This Star Trek: Discovery article contains spoilers.
Since its inception in 2017, Star Trek: Discovery has been compared to various aspects of the Star Trek franchise. But, perhaps the show it most closely resembles, at least tonally, is Deep Space Nine, the gritty ‘90s spin-off of The Next Generation. And, with its fifth and final season, it feels like Discovery knows it’s the Deep Space Nine of modern Trek, and has leaned into that feeling more than ever.
The series has also taken on the mantle of being the new DS9 by simply making a ton of references to that series, as well as continuing huge storylines from that series. In the 7th episode of season 5, “Erigah,” Discovery makes a ton of references to the breadth of the Trek canon, with a specific focus on DS9. Here’s all the best easter eggs and shout-outs you might have missed.

“Slow Horses” star Gary Oldman is the frontrunner to win Best Drama Actor at the upcoming Emmys. Oldman earned his first and only Oscar six years ago for his portrayal of World War II-era British prime minister Winston Churchill in “Darkest Hour.” That win was sandwiched between two other lead bids for “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy” (2012) and “Mank” (2021). His sole Emmy nomination to date came in 2001 for his guest appearance in the two-part seventh season finale of “Friends”; he lost to Derek Jacobi (“Frasier”).
On Apple TV+’s “Slow Horses,” which is based on a series of novels by Mick Herron, Oldman plays Jackson Lamb, a particularly uncouth MI5 officer saddled with the responsibility of supervising a group of service rejects. This constitutes his very first regular role on a continuing series and his first live action TV performance at all in over two decades.

Is Ryan Seacrest not the fans’ top pick to replace Pat Sajak as the host of Wheel of Fortune at the end of Season 41? Pat announced that he was retiring in June 2023 but shared he would be staying through Season 41. Then, Ryan was revealed to be the one filling his shoes. Yet, is there someone better out there? Keep reading for more details.

It made sense to have Ryan Seacrest come in and take over for Pat Sajak who had been hosting Wheel of Fortune since 1981. He has been hosting various shows for years. These include American Idol, his own radio show, and Live With Kelly. So, this was just a natural progression and he will start in September 2024.

Viewers were amazed by a contestant on The Price Is Right who seemed to make history with his bid.
The longtime game show, currently hosted by Drew Carey, features a series of games involving correctly estimating or guessing the prices of various products.
Contestants also have a shot at even more prizes during the Showcase Showdown at the end of the show.
Each contestant must give a total bid for one of the two prize packages, and the bid can’t exceed the actual total price. Whichever contestant comes closest to the actual cost of the prize package without going over wins.
Some big-ticket items often include all-expense trips, cars, hot tubs, and home furnishings.
Viewers saw an impressive edition of the Showcase Showdown and reacted to a contestant’s incredible bidding, which some believe was historic.

The Price Is Right host Drew Carey revealed he feels a sense of closure following the conviction of the murderer of his ex-fiancée, Amie Harwick.
Gareth Pursehouse, Harwick’s ex-boyfriend, was sentenced to life in prison without parole for Harwick’s murder in 2020.
“Ever since the final sentencing, it feels like we’ve all let out a breath and are able to finally move on,” he told People. “The whole process is over now, and there’s nothing else to be done and nothing else to worry about… Just speaking just for myself, it’s been quite a load off.”
Harwick, a Hollywood marriage and family therapist, had previously filed two restraining orders against Pursehouse before her murder.
Pursehouse attacked Harwick inside of her Hollywood Hills home, throwing her off of the balcony and resulting in blunt-force trauma to the head.

Actor and comedian Drew Carey went on an impressive journey to improve his health, which included losing 1,000 pounds over the years.
The Price is Right host recently revealed that he used to live an unhealthy and unhappy life following his appearances on the popular game show.
“I would go out to Swingers diner after The Price Is Right my first year, get a plate of pasta, a cupcake and iced tea with a bunch of lemons,” Carey shared in an upcoming People magazine story.
It didn’t stop there, though, as he also revealed he would “have Doritos and several Pepsis, and take an Ambien to go to sleep” at home.
Carey told the publication, “It was miserable” to live in that manner.
However, the 65-year-old show host began to take his health seriously, even reversing his Type 2 diabetes diagnosis.

Julius and Vincent have found each other yet again, as Arnold Schwarzenegger and Danny DeVito met up backstage after the latter’s recent Broadway outing. And while Arnold was proud of his pal’s show, it was the promise of a reunion between the two that will no doubt get people more excited.
Posting on Instagram this week, Arnold Schwarzenegger wrote the following, accompanied by a photo of himself with Danny DeVito and his daughter Lucy: “My brother! It was fantastic to see Danny on Broadway in “I Need That”. He and Lucy and everybody involved kept the audience entertained, laughing and loving every minute – one of the best plays I’ve ever seen, a true spectacle with heart!! I can’t wait to work together again.”

Although highly regarded as a theater star — he earned a Tony nomination in 2006 for “Awake and Sing!” and just returned years later to Broadway in “The Price” — Mark Ruffalo is for most people a bona fide movie star. For his film performances, he has been nominated for three Oscars, two Golden Globes and four Screen Actors Guild Awards, winning one as part of the ensemble cast of “Spotlight” in 2015.
These days, however, Ruffalo’s greatest fame is largely thanks to his being part of the Marvel universe, having taken over the roles of Dr. Bruce Banner and The Hulk in 2012’s “Marvel’s The Avengers.” After a cameo performance in 2013’s “Iron Man 3,” Ruffalo’s Hulk also appeared in “Avengers: Age of Ultron” in 2015, “Thor: Ragnarok” in 2017 and the final “The Avengers” movies.

Emmy-and-Golden Globe winning actor. Oscar-nominated producer. Director. Writer. In his 50 years in the industry, Danny DeVito has worn many hats, becoming one of the most successful and popular entertainers of his generation.
Daniel Michael DeVito, Jr. was born on November 17, 1944, in New Jersey, with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. Also known as Fairbank’s disease, this rare genetic disorder affects bone growth and contributed to his short stature. This has not hindered his successes, beginning with his training at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and early work in the theater.
In 1975, DeVito successfully reprised his off-Broadway role in “One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest” in the film version, and soon found success as Louie DePalma in the television sitcom “Taxi,” for which he received four Primetime Emmy and four Golden Globe nominations, winning the Emmy in 1978 and the Globe in 1980.

Preview performances for Broadway’s I Need That starring Danny DeVito begin tonight, and already the limited engagement has been extended by a week.
Roundabout Theatre Company said the extension through December 30 was due to popular demand. The play officially opens at the American Airlines Theatre on November 2.
Written by Theresa Rebeck and directed by Moritz von Stuelpnagel, I Need That also features DeVito’s daughter Lucy DeVito and Ray Anthony Thomas.
The synopsis: Sam (Danny DeVito) doesn’t get out much. Actually, he doesn’t get out at all, opting instead for the safety of his house in the company of his things – his many, many things. But when a notice from the government arrives alerting Sam that he must clean up his property or face eviction, he’s forced to reckon with what’s trash, what’s treasure, and whether we can ever know the difference between the two.

The synopsis: Sam (Danny DeVito) doesn’t get out much. Actually, he doesn’t get out at all, opting instead for the safety of his house in the company of his things – his many, many things. But when a notice from the government arrives alerting Sam that he must clean up his property or face eviction, he’s forced to reckon with what’s trash, what’s treasure, and whether we can ever know the difference between the two.

The latest episode of "Futurama," titled "The Prince and the Product," is the show's seventh anthology episode, and it's the weirdest one to date.
The "Futurama" anthology episodes began back in the series' second season with "Anthology of Interest I", and featured stories that were too outlandish, even for the already-bizarre show. The conceit behind the anthology format, at least at first, was merely to sensationalize the drama in a 1950s style, complete with an over-the-top announcer (Maurice Lamarche) yelling things like "You've seen it! Now you can't unsee it!" As the show progressed, however -- and the showrunners wanted to get even wilder -- the conceit fell away, and anthology shows would be presented just for fun.
The episode "Reincarnation", for instance, merely featured a trio of segments in different animation formats. One was a black-and-white Ub Iwerks-style cartoon, another appeared to have been animated on an Atari...

Spoilers for "Star Trek: Lower Decks" follow.
At the beginning of the second episode of the fourth season of "Star Trek: Lower Decks," called "I Have No Bones Yet I Must Flee," senior officers Commander Ransom (Jerry O'Connell) and Lieutenant Shaxs (Fred Tatasciore) are working out in the gym of the U.S.S. Cerritos. They mention that to explore the galaxy and counter tyranny, they must remain flexible. Shaxs grunts and strains, while the frustratingly fit Ransom goads him on. They engage in unusual stretching maneuvers, employing some kind of bizarre futuristic yoga into their routine. Most unsettling are their outfits. Ransom wears a blue body stocking with a purple one-piece swimsuit over it. The swimsuit has cutouts in the chest area to accentuate his pecs. Shaxs wears a forest green body stocking with a burgundy singlet stretched on top. His pecs, too, are allowed a little "window" for accentuation.

The unique skill set that allows game show hosts to keep the action flowing as excited contestants vie for prizes is not something everyone has. It’s why certain hosts last for a long time and helm multiple games.
Today, some of that game show community saluted a true master of the art in Bob Barker, who passed away at his home after nearly a half-century of gamesmanship.
Some of the reactions:
Peter Marshall – Hollywood Squares:
“Long before I became an emcee, I admired Bob Barker very much. He was great at what he did, quite wonderful. I can’t claim to have been close to Bob, but when together at events we always talked about our shared love of animals. I hope everyone knows what he did for animal welfare.”
Wink Martindale – Tic Tac Dough:
“In the history of televised game shows, no one is more synonymous with host than Bob Barker.

TV icon Bob Barker died on Saturday, August 26, at the age of 99. The news of his death has prompted heartfelt tributes from scores of celebrities who worked with the venerated game show host. Barker died peacefully of natural causes in his Los Angeles home, a representative informed TMZ. Barker hosted The Price Is Right — North America’s longest-running daytime game show — for 35 years and won 19 Daytime Emmy Awards. Prior to the CBS series, he hosted trivia quiz show Truth or Consequences. When he retired from The Price Is Right in 2007, he had been working in television for 50 years. It didn’t take long for Hollywood to start flooding social media with tributes to Barker, honoring his work on TV and as an animal rights activist. CBS released a statement remembering the late star. “We lost a beloved member of the CBS family today with the passing of Bob Barker,” the statement reads.

Editor’s note: One in a series of stories marking the 100th day of the WGA strike.
Although it might be important to both the Writers Guild and SAG-AFTRA that every Los Angeles-area studio have a union presence during the strike, some picket lines hold more weight than others. In other words, it didn’t take long before writers — and much later, the actors — started picking their favorite locales when it came time to protest room sizes, low residuals and the future use of artificial intelligence.
As part of our ongoing coverage of the WGA strike, Deadline has visited every major picket line in the city. It wasn’t long before we figured out who had the best (and worst) turnout based on the conditions, including available sidewalk space, safety — and shade — at each studio, who touted the biggest names, and who attracted the best reunions.

Lance Reddick’s unexpected death in March 2023 halted a thriving acting career that consisted of many memorable performances, including several voice-over gigs on TV series like “Castlevania,” “Duck Tales” and “Rick and Morty.” In addition to half a dozen mid-production projects, his legacy could include a posthumous Emmy victory in honor of his vocal work on the Amazon Prime Video animated series “The Legend of Vox Machina.” After Chadwick Boseman, who won the 2022 Best Character Voice-Over prize for “What If…?” two years after his death, Reddick would be the second posthumous recipient of any voice acting Emmy.
Reddick joined the recurring cast of “The Legend of Vox Machina” in its second season, which concluded less than a month before he died. His character, Thordak, is the leader of a group of dragons known as the Chroma Conclave, whose destructive plans are encumbered by the heroic, interspecific members of Vox Machina.

Since making his screen debut at age eight opposite his father, Lloyd Bridges, on TV’s “Sea Hunt,” Jeff Bridges has enjoyed an acting career that now spans a whopping 65 years. His resume mainly consists of film roles, but he has occasionally ventured back to the small screen, most recently as the star of “The Old Man.” Having already picked up Golden Globe, Critics Choice, and Screen Actors Guild Award nominations for his performance on the FX series, he is naturally one of the strongest contenders for this year’s Best Drama Actor Emmy. If his likely bid results in a victory, the Best Actor Oscar winner will join a distinguished group of leading men who were lauded by the film and then TV academies.
Bridges earned his first and only Oscar 13 years ago for his portrayal of recovering alcoholic country singer Bad Blake in “Crazy Heart.” He had previously...

Evan Peters and his “Dahmer — Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story” dad Richard Jenkins are the odds-on favorites to take home the Emmys for Best Limited Series/TV Movie Actor and Best Limited Series/TV Movie Supporting Actor, respectively. They’re already Emmy winners in the opposite categories, and if they prevail in September, they’ll join a small group of men who’ve won both limited/TV movie acting prizes.
Just six actors have swept both categories, which have undergone various name changes over the years. Laurence Olivier reigns supreme with five trophies total. He has four in lead for “The Moon and Sixpence” (1960), “Long Day’s Journey into Night” (1973), “Love Among the Ruins” (1975) and “King Lear” (1984), and one in supporting for “Brideshead Revisited” (1982).
Michael Moriarty has four, but they come with an asterisk. He owns lead and supporting statuettes for “Holocaust” (1978) and “James Dean” (2002), respectively, and won two Emmys...

The It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia actor will star alongside his daughter Lucy DeVito and Ray Anthony Thomas in the Roundabout Theatre Company’s production of what the company describes as “a deeply human new comedy.”
Preview and opening night dates for I Need That at Roundabout’s American Airlines Theatre will be announced later.
The synopsis: Sam (DeVito) doesn’t get out much. Actually, he doesn’t get out at all, opting instead for the safety of his house in the company of his things – his many, many things. But when a notice from the government arrives alerting Sam that he must clean up his property or face eviction, he’s forced to reckon with what’s trash, what’s treasure, and whether we can ever know the difference between the two.

Also nominated this year for posthumous awards were Norm MacDonald and Jessica Walter, who was nominated in the same category at Boseman for her role in “Archer”.

Boseman was one of three actors to earn posthumous Emmy nominations this year, alongside Norm MacDonald and Jessica Walter, who was nominated for “Archer” in the same category as Boseman and is the only performer to earn two post-death Emmy nods (she was nominated for “Archer” last year after passing away).

The path for Mike Richards to become the full-time host of Jeopardy is not as clear as it was when it first emerged that he was a frontrunner for the coveted job.
The Executive Producer has opened up about a lawsuit from a decade ago from when he worked on The Price Is Right.
“I want to address the complicated employment issues raised in the press during my time at The Price is Right ten years ago,” Richards wrote in a memo to the Jeopardy! staff on Monday.
“These were allegations made in employment disputes against the show. I want you all to know that the way in which my comments and actions have been characterized in these complaints does not reflect the reality of who I am or how we worked together on The Price is Right," he continued.
"I know firsthand how special it is to be a parent.

“Here Today,” starring Billy Crystal as a venerable TV comedy writer and Tiffany Haddish as the saintly, rough-around-the-edges street singer who becomes his unlikely pal, is a movie that feels like it could have been made 30 years ago: a friendly, adult-skewing, tart-witted but never nasty, jokes-and-hugs-built-around-a-serious-crisis character study that’s just ’90s enough to be comfortably old-fashioned, like an old pair of tasseled loafers. What’s good about the movie is that Crystal, who co-wrote and directed it, has an inside knowledge of the showbiz comedy world (as he demonstrated in 1992 when he directed and starred in the acerbically accomplished “Mr. Saturday Night”), and the prickly vivacity with which he portrays it roots the movie in something real.

Exclusive: Utopia has acquired the North American rights to The Emoji Story, a feature documentary from Emmy-nominated and Peabody Award-winning documentary filmmaker Ian Cheney and Emmy-winning filmmaker Martha Shane. The docu dives deep into the creation and ever-evolving world of emoji. The Emoji Story is set to hit VOD on December 22.
It is more than likely that you come across a heart emoji, smiley emoji or even a poop emoji at least once during your daily digital conversations. The emoji, which translates to “picture character” in Japanese, has changed the way we communicate and is essentially a universal language that nearly everyone understands. The rapid rise of emoji is a global phenomenon without precedent.

Emmy-and-Golden Globe winning actor. Oscar-nominated producer. Director. Writer. In his 50 years in the industry, Danny DeVito has worn many hats, becoming one of the most successful and popular entertainers of his generation.
Daniel Michael DeVito, Jr. was born on November 17, 1944, in New Jersey, with multiple epiphyseal dysplasia. Also known as Fairbank’s disease, this rare genetic disorder affects bone growth and contributed to his short stature. This has not hindered his successes, beginning with his training at the American Academy of Dramatic Arts and early work in the theater.

Emmy recognition for female directors was a long, long time coming. The playing field is a bit more level but has a long way to go. Eght of the 20 nominees for directing in the comedy series, drama series, and movie/limited series categories are women.
The first Emmy for outstanding directing was handed out in 1955 to Franklin Schaffner for the “Studio One” live drama “Twelve Angry Men” (he won an Oscar 15 years later for helming Best Picture champ “Patton”). It wasn’t until 30 years later that a woman director was even nominated in that category. Karen Arthur made history again when she won an Emmy for the “Heat” episode of CBS’ “Cagney & Lacey.” It was the only nomination and win for this prolific TV helmer.
The flood gates didn’t exactly open after Arthur’s win. More women were nominated in this category, but it took another decade for...

He solved murder cases on Monk. Now, for the first time, veteran actor Tony Shalhoub is taking a stab at musical theater. Call it a birthday gift -- to himself.
“It’s a little terrifying. Having not done a musical before, it’s kind of uncharted waters for me,” says Shalhoub, who turns 64 on Oct. 9, two days after The Band’s Visit starts preview performances at the Ethel Barrymore Theatre on Broadway. Despite appearing on Broadway last season as Walter Franz in Arthur Miller’s The Price and earning Tony nominations for Golden Boy and Conversations With My Father, this is the first time the actor will be singing onstage. Based on the 2007 film, the show originally premiered Off- Broadway to sold-out audiences last year “without any knowledge or guarantee it was going to move [to Broadway]. We’re over the moon about the fact it’s going to be in a huge venue.”

Saving Private Ryan (Blu-Ray)Paramount Home Entertainment1998/Rated R/ 169 minsNow Available – List Price: $39.99Every now and then its nice to go back to an influential film especially if its by a filmmaker who continually re-invents himself. Steven Spielberg's Saving Private Ryan came as a surprise to moviegoers in the summer of 1998. Though promoted as a simple story of a unit of GI's sent to locate the last surviving member of a family of serviceman, the film was actually a full blown war movie set against the WWII invasion of Normandy.
