Get Your Final Emmys Votes In!
After a year of television unlike any other, the nominations phase of this year’s Emmy campaigns is almost over. Final ballots are due on June 28, which leaves only a few days for would-be contenders to get their names out there, and remind voters that, in a veritable flood of TV content, theirs is what really stood out.
On the Little Gold Men podcast, we’ve been lucky to host our fair share of the people responsible for much of the best television out there, and in the final week of voting we’re ending on a comedic note. In this week’s episode, Katey Rich talks to Brett Goldstein, who was a writer on Apple TV+’s Ted Lassobefore putting it all on the line and auditioning himself to play Roy Kent. She also talks to Hannah Einbinder, who put her fledgling stand-up career on hold when the pandemic hit only to find herself a TV star, playing opposite Jean Smart on HBO Max’s breakout comedy hit Hacks.
This week’s jam-packed episode also includes an appearance by David Canfield, who lays out the stakes of this year’s Emmys race and shares some of the highlights for our newly launched Awards Insider, your home for all things Emmys, Oscars, and virtually anything else that glitters. And Joanna Robinsonand Richard Lawson welcome Anthony Breznican for a look back at 1954’s On the Waterfront, which remains famous more than half a century later for Marlon Brando’s seismic, naturalistic performance—as well as director Elia Kazan’s attempt to defend his actions in naming names during the HUAC hearings. The film, which won Brando his first Oscar, has a complicated legacy, but is no less fascinating to revisit nearly 70 years later.
