Composer, editor, production designer insights into their Creative Arts Emmy-winning work
By Robert Goldrich
LOS ANGELES -- Sometimes the story about the storyteller can in some respects rival the stories he or she is lauded for telling. Consider the case of composer Carlos Rafael Rivera who was nominated for two Emmy Awards in recognition of his work on the Netflix series Godless . Rivera wound up winning for the show’s main title music this past Saturday evening (9/8) at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony and in his brief acceptance remarks he thanked writer-director Scott Frank “who’s changed my life.” Rivera...

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Excited about Monday's 70th Emmy Awards? Probably not. That's an educated guess based on shrinking interest in entertainment's back-slapping ceremonies generally and television's biggest night in particular. Last year's Emmys drew 11.4 million viewers, a smidge above 2016's worst-ever 11.3 million. The 2018 Oscars dipped to an all-time low with 26.5 million viewers — still more than double that of its small-screen sibling. But imagine this: An expert in producing live TV jumps in to invigorate...

TORONTO (AP) -- Women filmmakers, activists and actors congregated outside the hub of the Toronto International Film Festival on Saturday in a series of impassioned speeches on gender inequality in the movie industry and the power of female voices to overcome it. The "Share Her Journey Rally," attended by hundreds on a chilly Toronto morning, followed similar events at earlier film festivals. Ahead of the gathering, Cameron Bailey, co-head of the Toronto Film Festival, signed an inclusivity pledge to achieve...

TORONTO (AP) -- Lynda La Plante's 1980s British crime series "Widows" had a curious hold of filmmaker Steve McQueen as a 13-year-old boy. The show was about a group of women who, after their criminal husbands are killed, band together to pull off the raid their dead spouses had planned. The women were, to young McQueen growing up in London, doing what they were deemed not to be capable of. "I was a person at that time who was deemed not to be capable, as well, being a young black boy at school and having to...

TORONTO (AP) -- Alfonso Cuaron's last movie, the dazzling space thriller "Gravity," won seven Oscars and grossed more than $720 million worldwide. His new movie, "Roma," is based on his childhood memories and was shot in black and white in the Mexico City neighborhood he grew up in. With limitless opportunities at his disposal after the success of "Gravity," Cuaron decided to go home. And the result — a neorealist blend of intensely personal filmmaking and overwhelming visual command — has been hailed as a...
Read More, Comment ROME (AP) -- "Roma," Alfonso Cuaron's intimate, black-and-white portrait of the women who raised him in Mexico City's turbulent 1970s, has won the top prize at the 75th Venice Film Festival. Cuaron accepted the Leone d'Oro on Saturday, which he said was the birthday of the woman who inspired the lead character Cleo, a young domestic worker with her own troubles amid political strife in the city's Roma neighborhood. The jury prize went to "The Favorite" by Yorgos Lanthimos, about the women surrounding Queen... Read More, Comment By Jake Coyle, Film Writer
TORONTO (AP) -- The response to Bradley Cooper's romantic saga "A Star Is Born" has been intense. Critics have boasted of crying uncontrollably. Fans outside theaters have swooned for its star, Lady Gaga. Words like "glorious," ''rapturous" and, of course, "gaga" are running rampant. "Having been on the other side of it, when you do something that doesn't do well, people tend to avoid you," Cooper said in an interview alongside his co-star. "I don't see people, like, going the other way as I'm walking down the...

TORONTO (AP) -- It was as she forcefully stuffed actress Tatiana Maslany into the trunk of a car that the sheer out-of-body experience of her role in the brutal L.A. noir thriller "Destroyer" came into focus for Nicole Kidman. "I was putting her in the trunk of that car going: 'What the hell is this?'" Kidman recalled at the film's Monday evening premiere at the Toronto International Film Festival. As much as we've come to expect it, Kidman's transformations can startle even herself. And just as has so often...

TORONTO (AP) -- The short story that begat Angie Thomas' breakthrough young adult novel "The Hate U Give" was inspired by the shooting of Oscar Grant III, the Oakland, Calif., African-American 22-year-old who was shot by a white transit police officer in 2009. In the years that followed, more shootings followed and Thomas kept on writing. Now, a year and a half after "The Hate U Give" became a bestselling phenomenon, Thomas' book has been adapted to the big screen by director George Tillman Jr. from a...

NEW YORK (AP) -- CBS Chief Les Moonves resigned Sunday, just hours after six more women accused the veteran television executive of sexual misconduct. The resignation is effective immediately, CBS said in a statement posted on its website Sunday night. The New Yorker magazine reported the latest allegations included Moonves forcing women to perform oral sex and retaliating when advances were turned away. Moonves acknowledged relations with three of the women but said they were consensual, adding he had never...

TORONTO (AP) -- At the premiere of Michael Moore's "Fahrenheit 11/9," the filmmaker's impassioned and portentous documentary about Donald Trump and the conditions that led to his presidency, Moore brought to the stage several Parkland, Florida, students who appear briefly in the film. "Generation of hope!" called out an audience member. "No, I'm against hope," corrected Moore. "Hope was back then with Obama. I'm for a generation of action." Moore's latest film is, on the surface, predictable. That the 64-year-...

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- Chloe Sevigny has been trying to do a fresh take on the Lizzie Borden tale for over a decade. A fateful trip to the house in Fall River, Massachusetts, convinced her to look at Borden's life through a different, more empathetic lens, pulling back the curtain on the suffocating circumstances surrounding the infamous 1892 ax murders of her father and stepmother and what might have driven her to do it. Borden was tried and acquitted of the killings, but continues to be a source of intrigue today...

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- There's so much television to watch or pretend to watch — have you really followed all of wrenching "The Handmaid's Tale" or even heartwarming "This Is Us"? — the guru who coined the term "peak TV" is upping the ante. John Landgraf, the erudite chief executive of FX Networks, warned that TV's golden age may be morphing into a gilded one, borrowing Mark Twain's zinger aimed at the late 19th-century's crass excess. Harsh! But it's true that TV has reached superstore proportions: streaming, cable...

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- There's more new television to watch than is humanly possible. But everyone has to make a time-allocation decision in the end, and that's what we're here to help with. Consider the list below a tip sheet to get you going on the fall TV season. Each of the six shows has something of note to offer, and some have the potential to be season (or beyond) standouts. Happy viewing, and the snacks are on you. "MURPHY BROWN" The unexpected success of "Roseanne" last season (before its sudden implosion...

NEW YORK (AP) -- The Miss America ceremony subtracted the swimsuit competition for the first time in its 98-year history, and subtracted one million television viewers, too. The Nielsen company said 4.34 million people watched the annual ceremony on ABC Sunday, down 19 percent from the 5.35 million viewers last year. Declining viewership has been a consistent trend for the pageant over the past few years. With Miss America now under the leadership of former Fox News personality Gretchen Carlson, the swimsuits...

LOS ANGELES (AP) -- The horror movie "The Nun" has topped the domestic box office in its first weekend, scoring a best for the "Conjuring" franchise and another win for Warner Bros.

He thus makes his “Escape To Football,” taking off and winding up at Buffalo Wild Wings to eat, drink,...

This cat is totally uncooperative as evidenced in different scenarios including when our gent puts a leash on the feline and tries to take it for a walk. Luckily life doesn’t always have to be like this. Our male protagonist can successfully cut the cable cord and get all the sports he wants--and his family all the entertainment programming it enjoys--via FUBOTV. Bryan Buckley of Hungry...

Unfortunately for the player, it will be a part of the Not Top 10 segment, where highlights are celebrated for their infamy, rather than achievement.
