Photo: 'Belushi'/Showtime Director and writer R.J. Cutler’s Belushi is an insightful, heartfelt, and thorough look into the life of the legendary Saturday Night Live, National Lampoon’s Animal House, and The Blues Brothers star John Belushi. With several interviews collected from those closest to him, to real-life footage of his childhood all the way to the tragic end of his life, the documentary is tremendously detailed, engrossing, and an emotional rollercoaster throughout. The documentary is immediately captivating with the opening being Belushi at his peak; his SNL audition, sold out Blues Brothers performance, meanwhile, all this footage is accompanied by narrations of those closest to him. The undeniably gripping hook to the documentary shows the viewer the very best of one of the greatest comic minds of the 20th century.

It's a good day for funny people, especially if your name is Tina Fey or Seth MacFarlane.
Fey's series, 30 Rock, was handed 22 Emmy nominations this morning, which stands as a record for a comedy series. She and Alec Baldwin were also nominated for acting awards. Plus, for the first time some of the other actors on NBC's laffer were recognized. Jane Krakowski, Jack McBrayer and Tracy Morgan all picked up supporting nominations.
MacFarlane's Family Guy was also nominated for best comedy series, the first time an animated show has cracked that category since The Flintstones in 1961. Two years ago MacFarlane decided to pull his show from contention in the animated series category to have it considered for best comedy.
