Hugh Laurie has never won an Emmy. That seems like an egregious oversight on behalf of TV academy voters, considering the British actor starred as one of the best TV characters of this century in “House.” Still, 10 nominations (we’ll get to those later) and zero wins.
He could finally break that losing streak with Netflix’s “All the Light We Cannot See.” Adapted from Anthony Doerr‘s 2014 novel of the same name, written by Steven Knight, and directed by Shawn Levy, this miniseries depicts the lives of two teenagers during WWII — one a blind French girl and the other a German boy forced to fight for the Nazi regime. Laurie features as Uncle Étienne, a reclusive, agoraphobic WWI veteran suffering from Ptsd. Laurie has always been a classy performer and he again brings a lot of heart, warmth, and intelligence here to this role, as noted by several critics.

Since The Last Update
Emmy nominations voting began on June 13 — the same day that the TV Academy posted on its website the full list of certified contenders for each category, providing confirmation of which contenders were/weren’t officially submitted/accepted, and, after a bit of mathematics and cross-referencing, precisely how many nominees there will ultimately be in each race.
Voting continues through 10pm Pst on June 24, and then the lame-duck waiting period begins, as we won’t find out the nominees until July 17.
See below for my latest assessment of all major categories.

Wherever I go, when I tell people that I work as an editor for Gold Derby, they never fail to bring up their latest binge-fest and how obsessed they were with it. “Ripley” occupied that space for several weeks, replaced by “Baby Reindeer,” then “Fellow Travelers.” Before that, I ran into a bunch of “Lessons in Chemistry” fans, and friends who were absolutely obsessed with “Feud: Capote vs. the Swans.” “Fargo: Season 5” and “True Detective: Night Country” also had, and continue to have, legions of followers. And of course, “Shogun” consumed people for a good long while.
The point is that Best Limited Series has grown the past few years into the hottest and most prestigious Emmy category, and that’s especially true in 2024 with the depletion of the Best Drama Series and Best Comedy Series due to the 2023 strikes and the departure of shows like “Succession” and “Ted Lasso.

Ron Nyswaner, the writer behind such iconic queer stories as “Philadelphia,” was effusive about his star of “Fellow Travelers,” Matt Bomer, at the IndieWire Honors ceremony on Thursday, June 6.
Nyswaner called Bomer “one of our greatest living actors,” and upon jointly accepting the IndieWire Honors Wavelength Award with his lead, he acknowledged that he and Bomer really do share a special wavelength. Bomer was also an executive producer on “Fellow Travelers,” and he said Bomer was an “EP in every way.”
“Because I had Matt’s trust, I could pitch things in the writers’ room,” Nyswaner said. He proceeded to map out Episode 7 of “Fellow Travelers,” in which he would ask Bomer to be largely naked on an island while on a lot of drugs and having a threesome where they “really go at it and screw really hard” and then try and kill one of the guys while suffering a nervous breakdown.

The creators of Will & Grace and Ryan Murphy are teaming for a Hulu project — which is already attracting a top-flight cast.
The Disney-owned streamer has ordered a pilot for a multi-camera comedy titled Mid-Century Modern, written by Will & Grace’s David Kohan and Max Mutchnick. Matt Bomer, Nathan Lane and Linda Lavin are set to star in the show, which reads as something of a gender-swapped take on The Golden Girls. Murphy is an executive producer, and James Burrows is set to direct.
The logline: “The series follows three best friends — gay gentlemen of a certain age — who, after an unexpected death, decide to spend their golden years living together in Palm Springs where the wealthiest one lives with his mother and a naked Gen Z housekeeper. As a chosen family, they prove that no matter how hard things get, there’s always someone around to remind you it...

It’s not “The Golden Girls,” but get ready for a new, even gayer roommate sitcom.
I can exclusively report that Matt Bomer and Nathan Lane are set to star in “Mid-Century Modern,” a multi-cam series for Hulu executive produced by Ryan Murphy and created by “Will & Grace’s” Max Mutchnick and David Kohan.
Sources reveal that Bomer will take on the ditzy Rose-like character, played by Betty White in the original “Golden Girls,” with Lane taking on the Dorothy (Bea Arthur) of the bunch. Linda Lavin will play Lane’s mother, a la the original Sophia.
The new series will be set in gay mecca of Palm Springs. James Burrows is directing the pilot.
Bomer’s recent credits include “Fellow Travelers” and “Maestro.” He frequently works with Murphy, who directed him to a Golden Globe win for his work in the AIDS drama “The Normal Heart.” Lane, a veteran of television,...

Henry Cavill’s role as Superman has found a resurgence of fans after he was replaced by David Corenswet in James Gunn’s upcoming Superman. The actor played the role in Zack Snyder’s Man of Steel and went on to reprise his role in subsequent sequels. Though he was slated to return, he had to depart from the character after James Gunn’s reboot.
While Cavill had bad luck with Superman, another actor from the Dceu faced a terrible experience after auditioning for the role. Matt Bomer, who is known for his role in White Collar, reportedly auditioned for JJ Abrams’ unmade project Superman: Flyby. However, Bomer claimed that he lost the role after multiple auditions due to his sexual orientation.

The Jurassic World films led by Chris Pratt carried forward the legacy of what Steven Spielberg created with the Jurassic Park films. The Jurassic World trilogy was wildly successful, with each film grossing a billion dollars at the box office. Despite the quality of the films deteriorating with each entry, the box office signaled that audiences loved watching dinosaurs-mayhem on screen.

Emmy-winning producer and director Daniel Minahan wanted the period queer love story of “Fellow Travelers” to feel contemporary. The Showtime limited series, based on the novel by Thomas Mallon, chronicles the decades-long love story between two men, beginning in the McCarthy era of the fifties through the AIDS crisis of the eighties. Minahan directed the show’s first two episodes and was one its executive producers. “We weren’t going to make it as if we were making an old fashioned movie,” he says in a recent chat with Gold Derby (watch the exclusive video interview above). “I wanted it to feel contemporary, and the story itself is so relevant to today that I wanted people to be able to say, ‘Oh my God. That’s what’s happening now.'”

Matt Bomer is an actor known for starring in projects like White Collar, Fellow Travelers, and, Magic Mike. Being an openly gay actor in the early 2000s, Bomer recently talked about a certain Superman role that he continuously auditioned for but was ultimately rejected.

No actor has ever played Batman for as long as Kevin Conroy did. Starting off in 1992 in Batman: The Animated Series, he was the voice for the character for over three decades. He was one of the most respected and talented figures in the world of DC, and fans continue to regard him as a legend, even after his passing.
Kevin Conroy at the 2019 Sdcc for Batman Beyond 20th Anniversary [Photo: Gage Skidmore]Despite his status, many might not know that the actor was openly gay, having publicly come out in 2016.

Kevin Conroy at the 2019 Sdcc for Batman Beyond 20th Anniversary [Photo: Gage Skidmore]Despite his status, many might not know that the actor was openly gay, having publicly come out in 2016. While the entire world found out then, there were whispers of his sexual orientation floating through the industry, even in the conservative times of the 1990s.

Matt Bomer is speaking out against what he sees as the “weaponization” of sexuality in Hollywood.
Bomer revealed during The Hollywood Reporter’s “Awards Chatter” podcast that he allegedly lost out on landing the lead role for axed DC film “Superman: Flyby” after being outed as gay.
“It looked like I was the director’s choice for the role,” Bomer said. “I signed a three-picture deal at Warner Bros.”
When asked on the podcast whether his sexual orientation affected his casting, Bomer said, “Yeah, that’s my understanding. That was a time in the industry when something like that could still really be weaponized against you. How, and why, and who [outed me], I don’t know.”
Bomer even exited CBS soap opera “Guiding Light” amid the audition process for “Superman: Flyby.”
“I went in on a cattle call for ‘Superman,’ [which] turned into a one-month audition experience where I was auditioning again and again and again,...

In school, Jonathan Bailey studied “Mulholland Drive,” examining the nuances of Naomi Watts’ breakout performance. Now Bailey has the chance to grill the Oscar nominee about her process. In Ryan Murphy’s “Feud: Capote vs. the Swans” from FX, Watts portrays Babe Paley, the New York socialite and one of Truman Capote’s “swans,” whose falling out with the author was legendary. And after steaming up the screen in “Bridgerton,” Bailey takes on another sweeping romance with Showtime’s “Fellow Travelers,” this time as Tim, an idealistic congressional staffer who enters into a decades-long affair with a closeted World War II veteran and State Department official.
Naomi Watts: I heard that you were shooting three things at the same time: “Bridgerton,” “Fellow Travelers” and “Wicked.” Is this true?
Jonathan Bailey: That is true. [His voice cracks.] Did you hear? My voice just broke.
Watts: Yeah, because you have Ptsd?
Bailey: Maybe?...

X-men '97 Scores TCA Nomination For Outstanding New Program Alongside Shogun, Ripley & Baby Reindeer

The Television Critics Association announced their picks for the best shows of the 2023-2024 TV season on Monday, and in a pleasantly surprising development, Marvel Studios' recent Disney+ series, X-Men '97, picked up two significant nominations.
The animated revival scored nominations for Outstanding New Program and Outstanding Achievement in Family Programming.
Though X-Men '97 proved to be a big hit with fans and critics alike, it's rare that an animated series - and a superhero animated series at that - would receive any TCA recognition, especially outside of the Children's Programming category.
What are the mutant heroes' chances of picking up the win? Well, the show is up against some heavy hitters such as Shōgun, Baby Reindeer and Ripley, so, fittingly, they are the underdogs here.
Former showrunner Beau DeMayo shared the following post in response to the news.

Nathan Lane came out of the closet to his mother and two brothers at age 21, and says he marched in Pride parades as far back as the late 1970s. But it wasn’t until he started playing gay roles and saw his career explode thanks to Mike Nichols’ 1996 film The Birdcage that he experienced rampant speculation about his sexuality.
“I certainly wish I had been braver at the time,” Lane said while accepting a career achievement trophy during the LGBTQ+ Celebration of Cinema & Television at Fairmont Century Plaza on Friday. “Like when Oprah Winfrey on her show asked me why I was so good at all that girly stuff in The Birdcage. If I could go back in time, the answer I wish I had given is: The reason I’m good at all that stuff is because I’m a wonderful actor but if you’re asking me if I’m gay,...

Matt Bomer, the guest on this episode of The Hollywood Reporter’s Awards Chatter podcast, is a talented and dashing actor and producer. Bomer made his name on the USA drama series White Collar (2009-2014) and in films such as 2012’s Magic Mike. He later won Golden Globe and Critics Choice awards and was nominated for an Emmy for his turn in the 2014 HBO movie adaptation of Larry Kramer’s play The Normal Heart. Most recently, he has garnered some of the best reviews of his career for his portrayal of a closeted State Dept. employee in a decades-spanning secret relationship with another man on the 2023 Showtime limited series Fellow Travelers, for which he has already won a Peabody Award and been nominated for Golden Globe, SAG, Critics Choice and People’s Choice awards.

For the second year in a row, three shows have topped the Television Critics Association nominations. “Baby Reindeer,” “Ripley” and “Shōgun” lead Monday’s nominations for the 40th annual awards with five bids each.
All three shows are up for Program of the Year, a category dominated by FX and Netflix. The former fielded three nominees with “Shōgun” “The Bear” and “Reservation Dogs,” while the latter is repped by “Baby Reindeer” and “Ripley.” Max’s “Hacks” is the sole non-fx and non-Netflix nominee.
Last year, “Succession,” “The Last of Us” and “The Bear” scored five nominations apiece. “Succession” and “The Bear” wound up with two wins each, with the former taking Program of the Year, but “The Last of Us” went 0-5.
After expanding to eight slots per category in 2021, TCA has reverted to six slots. No reason was given.
More curious, however, is the unprecedented double-dipping by three shows.

The Television Critics Association announced the nominees for the 2024 TCA Awards and, surprisingly, they come with some controversy. “Baby Reindeer,” “Ripley” and “Shogun” led all programs with five nominations each. “The Bear” earned four nominations while “Fargo” took three. That being said, both “Baby Reindeer” and “Fargo” earned noms for Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Achievement in Movies, Miniseries or Specials which is utterly head-scratching.

The nominations for the 40th annual Television Critics Awards Nominations have been revealed, with Netflix and FX tied at the top thanks to the strength of Baby Reindeer, Ripley and Shogun, with all three programs garnering five noms apiece.
The TCA Awards nominations are voted on by a group of more than 230 television journalists from the U.S. and Canada. Winners will be announced at an in-person ceremony that’s part of the summer press tour on Friday, July 12 at the Langham Huntington in Pasadena.

Mel Brooks entered even more prestigious awards territory on Sunday, upgrading his Egot to a Pegot as he was recognized with the Career Achievement Award at the 84th annual Peabody Awards.
Brooks became only the fourth person to win a Peabody, Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony, behind Barbra Streisand, Rita Moreno and Mike Nichols. Billy Crystal presented the comedy icon with the honor at the organization’s Los Angeles ceremony. (A Pegot can also refer to a Pulitzer instead of a Peabody, which just Richard Rodgers and Marvin Hamlisch have achieved.)
“Mel is a genius who believes that comedy should push boundaries, challenge societal taboos and yes, be a little vulgar when the mood calls for it — and with Mel, the mood often calls for it,” Crystal told the crowd at the Beverly Wilshire hotel. “Mel is one of the big reasons that I have a life in comedy.

From documentaries about war in Ukraine and Gaza to the sweetness of “Bluey” to the earthiness of “Somebody Somewhere” and “Reservation Dogs” to the Mel Brooks canon, the 84th annual Peabody Awards ceremony on Sunday saluted an array of standout TV programs, movies, documentaries, podcasts, video games and more.
The respected awards, adminstered by the University of Georgia’s Grady College of Journalism and Mass Communications, were held at the Beverly Wilshire hotel, marking the first time the Peabodys were handed out on the West Coast after decades in New York.
“Finally, Los Angeles gets an awards show,” host Kumail Nanjiani quipped at the start of the three hour-plus ceremony.
The high volume of conflict in the world and in the U.S. — from school shootings to hate crimes to the spike in political extremism — was reflected in the programs selected for this year’s honors and in the comments on stage from winners.

The Peabody Awards made its long-overdue Los Angeles debut at the Beverly Wilshire Hotel on Sunday.
Hosted by Kumail Nanjiani, the 84th annual awards ceremony recognized Mel Brooks, Quinta Brunson, Star Trek and more storytellers for its first time on the West Coast since it launched in 1940.
Brooks received the Career Achievement Award for breaking “ground through his use of comedy as a form of resistance” throughout his storied career, according to Peabody.
Brunson was honored with the Trailblazer Award for shining “a light on the challenges faced by public school teachers” through her ABC series Abbott Elementary, as well as opening “doors for the next generation of Black leaders in television.”
The Institutional Award went to Star Trek for the TV franchise’s “enduring dedication to storytelling that projects the best of humanity into the distant future” nearly 60 years after it first debuted.

IndieWire’s Consider This FYC event returned once again on Saturday to celebrate the craftsmanship and collaboration that goes into making our favorite shows. In front of a packed crowd at The Grove in Los Angeles, artists who worked on the Paramount+ shows “Fellow Travelers,” “Star Trek: Discovery” and “Star Trek: Strange New Worlds,” “A Gentleman in Moscow,” “Frasier,” “Colin from Accounts,” and “Lawmen: Bass Reeves” convened for a series of panels about the art of television moderated by IndieWire editors.
The event, produced in partnership with Paramount+, highlighted artists from every stage of the production process. From stars and showrunners to costumers, production designers, composers, editors, and VFX artists, the event reflected IndieWire’s commitment to celebrating above-the-line and below-the-line artists in equal measure.

Starting this particular June weekend of Pride events off with a bang was Friday night’s first annual Critics Choice Association’s Celebration Of LGBTQ+ Cinema & Television, an awards gala that packed the main ballroom of L.A.’s Fairmont Century Plaza Hotel with each table’s settings sporting a rainbow pride flag among other festival decorations. The lively event brought out a host of honorees and starry presenters delivering lots of stirring and heartfelt remarks. Comedian and Actress Sherry Cola hosted the expertly paced presentation.

The mix of actors, showrunners, directors, costumers, production designers, composers, and VFX artists in attendance at IndieWire’s Consider This FYC event, produced in partnership with Paramount, reflected the unique blend of skillsets that have to come together to create a hit show. Artists from properties as varied as “Star Trek,” “Frasier,” and “Lawmen: Bass Reeves” to “Fellow Travelers,” “Colin from Accounts,” and “A Gentleman in Moscow” convened at The Grove in Los Angeles to discuss the painstaking process of delivering the most authentic possible shows to their audiences. And while no two stories were the same, everyone seemed to agree that great art happens at the intersection of extensive preparation and serendipitous timing. (Return to IndieWire for videos of the full panels later this week.)

While television had been a part of each past IndieWire Honors celebration, the medium took center stage on the evening of Thursday, June 6, with an event that celebrated the creators and stars of such well-regarded shows as “Abbott Elementary,” “Expats,” “Fellow Travelers,” “Mr. and Mrs. Smith,” and “True Detective: Night Country.”
Even before the awards ceremony began, as talent started filing into the Citizen News venue in the heart of Hollywood, it was a marvel to see “Palm Royale” star and Vanguard Award recipient Carol Burnett hold court as fellow honorees like “Under the Bridge” producer/star Riley Keough, recipient of the Maverick Award, and “Abbott Elementary” creator/star Quinta Brunson, recipient of the Visionary Award (and whom Burnett presented an Emmy to in January), came to greet the comedy legend.

A six-minute music video for Ariana Grande's latest single, "The Boy is Mine," has been released, and it finds the pop megastar channelling iconic Batman baddie/love interest, Catwoman.
The premise of the video focuses on You star Penn Badgley as the mayor of an unnamed city (we're guessing they couldn't call it Gotham), who decides to unleash an army of stray cats to rid the streets of a rat infestation. Grande plays a woman who is obsessed with the mayor and creates a love potion to make him fall for her.
Then, in a scene which appears to pay homage to Michelle Pfeiffer's Selina Kyle creating her costume in Tim Burton's Batman Returns, Grande dons a homemade Catwoman suit of her own and takes to the streets.
The tune is a single from Grande’s newest album, Eternal Eunshine, and samples Brandy and Monica's 1998 hit of the same name.

The acclaimed Showtime limited series “Fellow Travelers” tells the decades-long love story of two closeted men, Hawk Fuller (Matt Bomer) and Tim Laughlin (Jonathan Bailey) who meet in 1950s Washington. Their early days together are told against the backdrop of the rise and fall of Joseph McCarthy (Chris Bauer), the notorious Republican Senator from Wisconsin, tapped into Americans increasing Cold War fears of Russia and rampant Communist infiltration in the U.S. He was a little-known junior senator who, on Feb. 9, 1950, made his notorious speech in Wheeling, West Virginia where he brandished a list of over 200 alleged Communists working in the State Department. These employers, he added, were being protected by high-ranking Communist sympathizers.
McCarthy got his desired response: nationwide publicity. He became an overnight sensation in the Senate. By 1953, McCarthy was chairman of Senate Permanent Subcommittee on Investigations where he continued his Communist witch hunt while gaining more publicity and notoriety.

When Ron Nyswaner got word he was set to receive a permanent place on the Palm Springs Walk of Stars, he learned there were options for its final destination.
“I walked up and down Palm Canyon [Drive] one day in April, and I watched all the tourists come out of the restaurants and walk all over people’s names,” the Oscar-nominated writer and Fellow Travelers creator explained. “I’m not sure that I really wanted to be walked on by lots of people, but when I came up here and I saw that there was at least one star near the [LGBTQ Community Center], I knew this was the home for my star.”
That home was unveiled Thursday morning during a dedication ceremony in Palm Springs that featured comments by Nyswaner, close collaborator and Fellow Travelers executive producer Robbie Rogers, the show’s star Jelani Alladin and Palm Springs Mayor Jeffrey Bernstein. The dedication...

When composer Paul Leonard-Morgan began working on the Showtime limited series “Fellow Travelers,” he associated the two main characters– Hawkins Fuller (Matt Bomer) and Tim Laughlin (Jonathan Bailey)– with individual instruments. “One of them is a piano, one of them is a cello,” he explains in a recent chat with Gold Derby (watch the video above). With those two instruments as the foundation, Leonard-Morgan began crafting the music of their love story, adding layers of instruments but always keeping the cello and piano front and center. “A big, glossy, massive orchestra is actually going to detract rather than help,” he says. “As a composer you’re trying to help the emotions.”

The line-up for the new series of Variety’s Actors On Actors has been revealed, with high profile movie performers interviewing each other.
Variety’s Actors On Actors is one of the most delightful series you can watch as a film fan. The central conceit is that two actors sit down for a natter about their work, often going off on tangents, acting as a unique insight into the industry.
Generally, the pairings are quite surprising, with the actors concerned often never having worked together and, in some cases, seeming quite random, but each one is fascinating and, usually, an absolute hoot. You can see Kate Winslet shooting the breeze with Gary Oldman, for example, or Beanie Feldstein with Florence Pugh – we are still waiting for Jason Statham to make an appearence.

When Ron Nyswaner first read Thomas Mallon‘s novel “Fellow Travelers,” he knew that the central love story would make for great television. That love story between closeted society man Hawkins Fuller (Matt Bomer) and the idealistic yet naive Tim Laughlin (Jonathan Bailey) anchors the Showtime limited series of the same name. For Nyswaner, the Oscar-nominated writer of “Philadelphia” who served as creator, showrunner and writer on the series, the goal was to create something more than just a gay love story. “This isn’t a gay show,” he says in an exclusive video chat with Gold Derby (watch above). “We’re doing a human drama here. We’re doing American history.
Nyswaner’s version of “Fellow Travelers” is less of an adaptation, but more of an expansion of the source material. Mallon’s novel doesn’t go beyond 1957, so Nyswaner created storylines for the characters that spanned the protests over the Vietnam War,...
