‘Law & Order’ Key to Awards Spree

18 June 2013 3:00 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »

When the Emmys for supporting actor and actress are named, odds are good Law & Order producer Dick Wolf will have employed one or more winners on his team. Since its 1990 debut, the cop/law procedural and its spinoffs have enjoyed a mind-boggling hold on the character player Emmy kudos.

Almost half the drama supporting trophies in this period have gone to erstwhile L&O regulars and guests: Terry O’Quinn, Zeljko Ivanek, Michaels Imperioli and Badalucco among the men; Julianna Margulies, Margo Martindale, Kim Delaney and Allison Janney on the distaff side.

In comedy, Christine Baranski and Bebe Neuwirth boast credits as a mob wife and an Ada, respectively, alongside sitcom honors. Cynthia Nixon bookended her 2004 Sex and the City trophy with a first-season L&O turn as a subway shooter, followed by a guest actress Emmy for playing a psychopathic murderer on Special Victims Unit .

Julianna Margulies Allowed to Pursue Defense in Commissions Dispute

18 June 2013 12:41 PM, PDT | The Hollywood Reporter | See recent The Hollywood Reporter news »

Julianna Margulies has scored a success in her legal battle with her former manager over commissions, and as a result, will look to win the case on Thursday. Last year, the The Good Wife star was sued by D/F Management for at least $420,000. The management firm of Steve Dontanville claimed that it was entitled to 10 percent of what she continued to make on shows and for product deals that were negotiated while they were her representatives. Margulies returned fire with a counterclaim that Dontanville failed to provide her with any writing to memorialize the terms of his

Is there a shortage of TV actors?

13 June 2013 11:00 AM, PDT | The Guardian - TV News | See recent The Guardian - TV News news »

Channel hop on any given evening and the chances are you will see the same faces, but in different roles. Do you have a favourite overworked star?

With so many long-running drama series criss-crossing our TV screens, the modern malaise of the same actors cropping up in multiple fictions is becoming ever more noticeable.

The problem was pinpointed a couple of weeks back when the actor Michael McElhatton appeared in two shows that went out concurrently on two different channels and had an enormous impact on both storylines. Anyone watching one after the other had every right to be confused.

If you don't recognise the name, you would recognise the noble forehead and striking features if you followed ace BBC2 serial-killer drama The Fall, in which he played corrupt Belfast detective, Rob Breedlove, and season three of HBO's Game Of Thrones on Sky Atlantic, in which he is Roose Bolton, »

“So You Think You Can Dance” Vegas Round: Rad Sonya

12 June 2013 5:18 AM, PDT | The Backlot | See recent The Backlot news »

The dancers try their hardest, but choreographer Sonya Tayeh has some words of encouragement: Try harder or die.

So You Think You Can Dance‘s Vegas rounds give us roughly the same amount of drama as American Idol‘s Hollywood week, but the stakes are actually higher because everyone in Vegas is extraordinary in at least one form of dance. On Idol, there’s always a chance some moron who squawked an Ok version of Jason Mraz’s “I’m Yours” won a ticket to Hollywood, you know? On Sytycd, everyone is an astounding talent — which is why it’s sort of disappointing when unqualified guest judges like Hannah Simone from New Girl and Jason Derulo of “JaSON DeruloooOOooOO” fame get a say in the proceedings. Simone was honestly introduced as “a dance enthusiast.” It would’ve been more bad-ass if she were “an anti-dance curmudgeon” or something more threatening. »

The most "holy wow!" moments of "Orphan Black"

10 June 2013 2:00 PM, PDT | AfterEllen.com | See recent AfterEllen.com news »

Tags: Tatiana MaslanyOrphan BlackCritics Choice AwardsEmmystelevisionIMDb

Orphan Black is over now, and man, what a trip. The season finale alone was mind-blowing, but the entire season had a plethora of amazing moments that made us go Holy Wow! And want to throw trophies at Tatiana Maslany. (Metaphorically, of course. We would never want to hurt that perfect face.)

Here are some of my personal favorite moments from the five main clones of the first season.

Beth Childs

I know we didn't get to see much of the actual clone Beth outside of the videos that Sarah used to impersonate her, but the one moment we saw of her over and over again throughout the series, that moment of utter devastation, when seeing Sarah was the last straw when she didn't have any straws left to give.

Sarah Manning

Sarah was an early favorite, from her accent to her snark, and stayed pretty amazing throughout. »

For TV Drama Actresses, Roles Excite

6 June 2013 8:00 AM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »

Life after 40 is good, and getting better, for leading actresses in TV. The women they portray are more independent, flawed and complex than ever. They’re getting love from audiences, critics and Emmy voters — winning the lead drama actress category four out of the past five years.

The latest groundbreaking character comes from the Oscar-winning screenwriter of Thelma and Louise, Callie Khouri, who made the jump from film to TV to create ABC drama Nashville, built around Connie Britton as a

fortysomething country music superstar with real-life problems.

Britton, lauded for her portrayal of everywoman Tami Taylor in Friday Night Lights, explains how Nashville is part of the change for the better in female leads.

“Rayna Jaymes is a self-made woman,” Britton says. “She walked away from her father’s money. She created a support system of men around her. So often in TV the story was the woman being »

'American Horror Story' and 'The Big Bang Theory' lead Critics' Choice TV Award nominees

22 May 2013 11:10 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »

The third annual Critics' Choice Television Awards features what is becoming the awards' signature mix of no-brainer and under-the-radar nominees.

So while "Breaking Bad" and "Homeland" are nominated for best drama series, so is "The Americans." The best comedy nominees include "The Big Bang Theory" and "Louie," but also "The Middle."

"Big Bang" and "American Horror Story: Asylum" lead the nominees with six apiece. "Parks and Recreation" and Sundance's miniseries "Top of the Lake" have five each. There were a couple of surprise omissions too: "Mad Men" was shut out of the best drama nominees, and of the cast only Elisabeth Moss scored an acting nomination. Ditto for "Modern Family" on the comedy side; Sarah Hyland was the only cast member nominated.

The Critics' Choice Television Awards are set for June 10. "Parks and Rec's" Retta will serve as host.

Btja Announces Nominees For 2013 Critics’ Choice Television Awards

22 May 2013 7:32 AM, PDT | AreYouScreening.com | See recent AreYouScreening news »

Well, it’s that time of year again. As shows start airing their season finales, the world is nevertheless abuzz with TV-related news and hype. The upfronts mean that everyone is attempting to gear up for next season, and viewers are hopefully finding shows that they can look forward to. And, it’s award time. After the brief rest since the movie awards were the big thing on everyone’s mind, now we kick into TV awards.

The Btja (of which I am a member) announced their nominees today for the Critics’ Choice Television Awards.

And you know what that means. That’s right, just like during movie awards season, it is now time to cheer on your favorites, and gripe about the snubs and odd choices. Frankly, I find a few odd selections in here myself, and I have a decent list of snubs, some of which stagger the imagination. »
