"The invention of television disrupted the entertainment industry, although not everyone saw the potential right away. Darryl F. Zanuck, co-founder of 20th Century Fox, famously quipped in 1946: "[Television] won't be able to hold onto any market it captures after the first six months. People will soon get tired of staring at a plywood box every night."Well, Zanuck's prediction certainly didn't come true, and that will be evident as Hollywood celebrates all things television at the 77th Emmy Awards tonight (Sunday, September 14)."
"Notable 2025 Emmy nominees The science fiction thriller Severance from Apple TV+ is going into the night as the front-runner with 27 nominations, including for outstanding drama series. HBO's Batman offering, The Penguin, came in second place, receiving 24 nominations. The two studios tied for third, with both The White Lotus and The Studio receiving 23 nominations.

"The Bob Hope Humanitarian Award The public already knows who one award is going to even before the broadcast. Actors Ted Danson and Mary Steenburgen will be formally presented with the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award for their many years of activism and advocacy. Danson helped create the American Oceans Campaign in 1987 to educate the world about the dangers of ocean pollution due to oil spills, sewage, and more."
"Steenburgen, meanwhile, has worked tirelessly with organizations such as Artists for a Free South Africa, the Elizabeth Glaser Pediatric AIDS Foundation, Heifer International, and No Kid Hungry. Together, the lovebirds co-founded the nonprofit Angels at Risk to help educate families about the dangers of drug and alcohol abuse. This will be the first time a married couple has received the award together."
