Emmys: Movies/Miniseries Overview
11 June 2013 7:31 PM, PDT | Deadline TV | See recent Deadline TV news »
There is probably no group of Emmy categories that has been more battered and bruised over the years than those of movies and miniseries. In addition to being combined into a single category in 2011, movies and miniseries almost lost their separate supporting categories earlier this year, but the TV Academy jettisoned the rule change before it ever went into effect. And some anti-movie/mini TV Academy execs have even proposed eliminating movie/minis from the Primetime Emmy telecast, creating a separate show that could be sold to HBO or another cable channel with a vested interest in the format. Nevertheless, the movie/mini category has seen both ratings and production increase in the last two years, which is fortunate for one simple reason: Movies and minis give the Emmy show true star power. Past winners include prestigious performers like Meryl Streep, Al Pacino, Jessica Lange and, last year, Kevin Costner and Julianne Moore. »

CNN's Chris Cuomo on Amanda Knox: 'I had no intention at all to harass'
10 May 2013 11:02 AM, PDT | Zap2It - From Inside the Box | See recent Zap2It - From Inside the Box news »
Chris Cuomo maintains he isn't surprised by sharp reaction to his Amanda Knox interview.
Now with CNN -- where he will be a host of the weekday-morning program "New Day" starting Monday, June 10 -- the former ABC correspondent and co-anchor of "20/20" questioned the murder-accused Knox on matters including her intimate relations in a special televised Tuesday (May 7). Since then, variations on the phrase "sexual harassment" have informed a number of critiques of the interview.
"Amanda Knox creates a lot of controversy," Cuomo reasons to Zap2it. "The case has since it started. That's why it's covered so much, and that's why it sells books." Indeed, Knox has written her own ("Waiting to Be Heard"), published on the day she also gave an extended interview to former Cuomo colleague Diane Sawyer in an ABC primetime hour.
"People have a lot of strong opinions" about the Knox story, reflects Cuomo, "and in this business, »

Tepid presales suggests Amanda Knox's much-hyped memoir Waiting to Be Heard might be headed for a soft debut when it officially goes on sale Tuesday. Video: Literary Agents: Will Amanda Knox Sell? The slow presales also raise questions about how strong the ratings will be for ABC's heavily promoted Diane Sawyer ABC News Primetime Special interview with Knox on publication night. Knox is the Seattle-born American college student who was caught up in the 2007 murder of British roommate Meredith Kercher while studying abroad in Perugia, Italy. She spent four years in prison before her conviction was overturned for prosecutorial irregularities.

Emmys Reverse Acting Rule Change in Movies-Minis
18 April 2013 10:09 PM, PDT | Variety - TV News | See recent Variety - TV News news »
Lead and supporting performers in the miniseries-movies genre will compete in separate categories at the Primetime Emmys, reversing a rules change by the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences’ Board of Governors last year.
A year ago, the board decided to – effective in 2013 – combine the lead and supporting actor categories in miniseries-movies into one acting competition, doing the same for lead and supporting mini-movie actresses. The decision was a somewhat surprising one, given that it risked eliminating awards for supporting thesps in the genre, assuming the probability that a lead performer would prevail.
For example, if the system had been in place last year, assuming 2012 lead actor winners Kevin Costner (“Hatfields & McCoys”) and Julianne Moore (“Game Change”) still prevailed, they would have prevented fellow Emmy winners in supporting Tom Berenger (“Hatfields”) or Jessica Lange (“American Horror Story”) from doing the same.
It was the performers peer group that engineered the recommendation last year, »

Fay Kanin obituary
1 April 2013 2:22 AM, PDT | The Guardian - Film News | See recent The Guardian - Film News news »
Blacklisted screenwriter and president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences
The screenwriter Fay Kanin, who has died aged 95, was the only female president of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences in its 86-year history (apart from Bette Davis, who resigned after two months in 1941). She served as president from 1979 to 1983, for the maximum of four consecutive one-year terms. Kanin, who committed herself to the preservation of early Hollywood movies, was first elected president by a board consisting of 34 men and one woman.
"I'm a big feminist," she declared at the time that her play Goodbye, My Fancy opened on Broadway in 1948. "I've put into my play my feeling that women should never back away from life." The serious comedy, with Madeleine Carroll as a powerful congresswoman revisiting her alma mater to receive an honorary degree, ran for more than a year and was made into a 1951 film starring Joan Crawford. »
