One of the best TV programs of the season just received an Emmy, and nobody who watches this Sunday's telecast is going to know about it. Rebel Ridge, the crackling action thriller from director Jeremy Saulnier, won the Outstanding TV Movie Emmy at the Creative Arts Emmys, where the award for that category has been presented since 2020. Held one week before the main Emmys broadcast, the two-day Creative Arts ceremony celebrates achievements in more than 95 categories that include sound, cinematography, and casting.

There's nothing Hollywood loves more than stories about Hollywood, and Seth Rogen's The Studio is a rare one that manages to be actually funny, extremely well-shot and full of excellent celebrity cameos without being self-aggrandizing.

Emma Thompson has two secrets. The first is a minor scandal - she's a lesbian - and the second is a major one: She's American, born and raised in Dayton, Ohio.

The long-running BBC sci-fi series, which first ran from 1963 to 1989 and then from 2005 onwards, has never been nominated for a Primetime Emmy award, which is shocking given the calibre of performances over the years.

Bella Ramsey has become the first publicly non-binary actor to secure multiple acting nominations at the Emmy Awards. They are nominated for their role as Ellie Williams in The Last of Us season two.

The only 2024 Drama Series nominee that's even eligible in 2025 is Apple TV+'s Slow Horses, as past nominees have either ended or are in production.

"I approach everyone that I speak with, with empathy. I always tell them, I'm here to try to understand why you do what you do, not to judge you. And I think that goes a long way."

Over its first three seasons, the comedy-drama, which centers on legendary comic Deborah Vance and her behind-the-scenes writer Ava Daniels, has been nominated for 48 Emmy Awards and won six, including Outstanding Comedy Series.

The Emmy nominations are a significant upcoming event, but early predictions are being made as excitement builds prior to the official announcements.

Since 1979, the Emmy Awards have recognized animated programs, but anime has only competed in limited categories due to eligibility rules favoring American productions.
