Fox network series scores DP his 1st career Emmy and ASC Award nominations
By Robert Goldrich, The Road To Emmy, Part 13
For Crescenzo Notarile, ASC, AIC--who’s known throughout the industry as Crescenzo--earning his first career primetime Emmy nomination, for the “Azrael” episode of Gotham , is especially gratifying. “I’m extremely proud of it for a number of reasons. We are in the platinum age of television. The creative bar for all categories is extraordinarily high. It’s much more difficult today to poke your head above the surface and stand out--so to be recognized along with my surrounding colleagues while...

Those guidelines were issued after the release of an ANA-commissioned assessment by K2 Intelligence that found non-transparent business practices, including cash...

NEW YORK (AP) -- The chief of NBC Sports said Thursday the Rio Games are a huge hit and that he doesn't anticipate having to make concessions to advertisers. While NBC's prime-time viewership for the Rio games hasn't reached the levels of London 2012, the dip has been offset by increases in people streaming content to their mobile devices or watching on cable networks like Bravo and NBCSN, said Mark Lazarus, chairman of the NBC Sports Group. He expects there to be more streamed content from Rio than for all of... Read more, comment Olympic Marketing Rules Making It Tougher For Smaller BrandsBy Mae Anderson, Business Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- The Olympics are full of stories of underdogs triumphing against the odds for athletic glory. But in the case of Olympic marketing, smaller brands are finding it tough to prevail amid strict rules. Sponsors such as Visa, Samsung and Coca-Cola pay hundreds of millions of dollars to be associated with the Olympics. So the International Olympic Committee cracks down on non-sponsoring brands that reference the Olympics by name or use Olympic logos in tweets or advertisement. This extends to...

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) -- Television viewers know there's a mind-boggling array of shows to attempt to watch. John Landgraf, the chief executive of FX Networks, predicted change is coming but not until the number of scripted series peaks at about 500 per year. With a greater supply of U.S. television than can be profitably produced, the industry is "ballooning into a condition of oversupply" that will likely peak in the next two years and then slowly deflate, Landgraf told a TV critics meeting Tuesday.

NEW YORK (AP) -- If you want to glimpse the future of sports broadcasting, you can check out the Rio Olympics in virtual reality. But if you really want to immerse yourself in the competition, just turn on the TV. NBC, BBC and other Olympic networks around the world are offering the opening and closing ceremonies and selected events in VR, giving viewers a 360-degree perspective - that is, the ability to look up, down and all around - when they wear special headsets. It's a first in Olympics broadcasting, and... Read more, comment Clinton All In On Olympics Ad Buy; Trump Not Yet In The GamesBy Julie Bycowicz
WASHINGTON (AP) -- The Rio Olympics are in full swing: Michael Phelps is back to winning races in the pool, Simone Biles is running up the score in the gym and Hillary Clinton is advertising with eyes on doing just as well on Election Day. Donald Trump isn't even competing. The Democratic presidential nominee is airing $13.6 million in campaign commercials during the Summer Games, seeking to reach the millions of television viewers who can't skip past the commercials as they watch live coverage of the Olympics...

BEVERLY HILLS, Calif. (AP) -- The Rio Games had a less-than-golden start for NBC but were enough of a draw to allow the network to dominate the weekly ratings. The Summer Olympics opening ceremony had 26.5 million viewers, according to Nielsen company figures released Tuesday. That’s a 35 percent drop compared to the 40.7 million U.S. viewers who watched the opening of the London Games four years ago — although NBC is pointing to more time-shifted viewing and streaming as factors in the decrease. Still, Olympic broadcasts...

NEW YORK (AP) -- Facebook is blocking ad blockers on the desktop version of its service, saying well-made, relevant ads can be "useful." At the same time, the world's biggest social media company says it is giving users easier ways to decide what types of ads they want to see — unless, of course, the answer is "none." Ad blockers filter out ads by refusing to display page images and other elements that originated with a known ad server. But Facebook has found a way around this. Beginning Tuesday, the desktop...

NEW YORK (AP) -- At Disney, content is king. The media conglomerate's studio entertainment, including popular films such as the animated "Finding Dory," ''The Jungle Book" and the Marvel saga "Captain America: Civil War," helped boost the company's third-quarter profit above expectations. But The Walt Disney Co.'s cable and broadcast channel revenue growth was weaker. Disneysaid it will also spend $1 billion for a 33 percent stake in the Major League Baseball video streaming service BAMTech. Media companies... Read more, comment Review: Rogen and Goldberg's "Sausage Party"By Lindsey Bahr, Film Writer
It's happened. Someone has outdone the "Team America" puppet sex scene and even made it look somewhat quaint in comparison. Anyone even vaguely interested in the very R-rated animated film "Sausage Party " has likely heard whispers about the food orgy. Words can't even begin to do this sequence justice, but I guarantee you've never seen anything like it in a mainstream studio movie. It's jaw-dropping. Of course it's compliments of the minds that blew up a foreign leader in "The Interview" and... Read more, comment Review: "Pete's Dragon" From Director David LoweryBy Jake Coyle, Film Writer
NEW YORK (AP) -- After an exhausting summer buffet of set pieces, superheroes and whatever s-word you might use for "Suicide Squad," the gentle "Pete's Dragon" is a welcome palate cleanser. Where other summer movies are chest-thumping, it's quiet; where others are brashly cynical, it's sweetly sincere; where others are lacking in giant cuddly dragons, "Pete's Dragon" has one. Few may remember the 1977 Disney original, in which a young boy's best friend was a bubbly dragon invisible to others. As part of Disney'...

NEW YORK (AP) -- The supervillain romp "Suicide Squad" shrugged off scathing reviews to open with an estimated $135.1 million in North American ticket sales, scoring one of the year's biggest box-office debuts. Pressure had risen on the performance of the Warner Bros. film, directed by David Ayer, following the studio's previous poorly received DC Comics film, "Batman v Superman: Dawn of Justice." But "Suicide Squad" proved a massive draw despite its much-derided lead-in. It set a record for an August opening,... Read more, comment Top Spot of the Week: Speck and Gordon's Donate Life PSA For Martin AgencyThis Donate Life PSA promotes organ donation by introducing us to Coleman F. Sweeney, billed as the world’s biggest a-hole. Portrayed by actor Thomas Jane, Sweeney is mean, belligerent, crude and someone you would want no part of. His behavior is front and center in this spot. Yet when he dies, we finally see something redeeming about him--he had signed up to be an organ donor and we see the good that results as his various organs give a new lease on life to others. This online piece shows us... Read more, comment The Best Work You May Never See: Flint Fwd Movement's "What is Flint?"Following the water crisis travesty, Flint, Mich., was portrayed nationally as a city in danger of being broken by circumstance, a city in need. But its people came together as a community, supporting each other in any way they could, exemplifying the city’s resilience. The narrative of a city in need turned into one of a city that will overcome. And this video titled What is Flint? from the Flint Fwd movement captures that city’s resurgence. Posted on YouTube as well as on Flint Fwd’s Facebook...

As a result of societal pressure to suppress his feelings, Jerome repeatedly blurts out “I love you” far too soon in every romantic encounter. After being “cured” by a hypnotherapist, he must fight to reconnect with his sensitive nature to save a budding relationship with featured musician Natalie Prass and express his true feelings. Titled Oh Jerome, No , this short was directed by...

The new PSA shows us an egg sizzling in a pan--akin to Pytka's classic brain on drugs being fried--before seguing to the difficult...

The cats encourage their owners to remember to treat them to Mars Petcare’s Temptations taste treats. Ninian Doff of Pulse Films directed this music clip which is part of adam&eveDDB London’s “Treat Them Too” campaign for Temptations. “Cat videos are brilliant fun, and millions of people...

It’s revealed that they have all painted “TEAM USA.” The moment is underscored by an original rendition of the Star-Spangled Banner recorded by award-winning indie pop star, St. Vincent, to set a reverent tone.
