Since the last update:
This week’s Feinberg Forecast includes 11 categories that weren’t part of last week’s, including those covering writing (drama, comedy, limited or anthology series, variety series, variety specials and nonfiction ), reality TV shows (structured, unstructured and competition), game shows and animated programs. It is also the first edition to include the Baby reindeerwhich has blown up since its debut on April 11, was officially presented at the Emmy Awards as a limited series and will seriously compete in several categories.
Over the past week, TV Academy members in the Los Angeles area have been surrounded by — and, in many cases, invited to — high-profile FYC or adjacent events. PaleyFest panel range included The morning show (with Jennifer Aniston And Reese Witherspoon), Loki (Tom Hiddleston And Owen Wilson), Calm your enthusiasm (Larry David), The Late Show with Stephen Colbert (Stéphane Colbert) And Late Night with Seth Meyers (Seth Meyers). HBO/Max (The curse on April 15) and Apple (Slow horses on April 20), among others.
Additionally, individual competitors were highlighted in various original ways. As part of the TCM Classic Film Festival, Ken JenningsABC presenter Danger!established screenings on April 18 and 19; Jodie Fosteran HBO/Max star True Detective: Land of the Night, had his hand and foot prints immortalized in cement at the TCL Chinese Theater on April 19; and April 20 Diane Lanean FX star Feud: Capote against the swansattended a screening of his 1979 film A little romance.
Meanwhile, April 18 Michael DouglasApple star Franklinmade a lengthy appearance to promote the show on CNN Fareed Zakaria GPS. On April 20, Peacock scared some, including yours truly, by having a masked/caped man hand him an invitation to an event promoting his Alan Cumming-hosted reality competition program Traitors. And that night, Hannah Einbindera star of Max Tipsrecorded a stand-up special at the El Rey Theater.
Finally, as FX prepares to unveil its 10th – and, for now at least, its last – episode of Shogun, a huge hit with critics and viewers, as of Tuesday night, speculation is growing about whether the network will order additional episodes, which, of course, would transform it from a limited series into a drama series. This season’s drama series field is weaker than it has ever been, so Shogun would probably be a win there – but I suspect it would also work just fine if it stays where it is. Stay tuned.
