  The future of TV is female. Every single winner of the top programs of the Emmys – Comedy Series, Drama Series, TV Movie and Limited Series – was a female-led show that also resulted in multiple acting and technical wins (from last week’s Creative Arts Emmys), giving us a ‘the future is female’ outcome that was realized at Emmys …

The current box office champ, Hidden Figures, found itself with the highest honor of the Screen Actors Guild tonight for Outstanding Performance by a Cast in a Motion Picture over other Best Picture nominees Moonlight, Manchester by the Sea, Fences and Captain Fantastic.

All the Way and The People v O.J. Simpson: American Crime Story should take the TV Movie and Limited Series Emmys quite handily as well. While …

Sometimes we see killer submissions win while two minutes of screentime (and very little do to) earns you an Emmy. Often you’ll see a comedy nominee submit a more …

In our last Emmy Podcast, Vox.com’s Todd VanDerWerff and I broke down the TV Movie and Limited Series predictions and got a little bit into the Drama and Comedy categories but here, on this 12th Emmy Podcast, I am joined by fellow Emmy Expert Federico Artico for a deeper dive.
