Welcome to Emmy Season

As nomination-round Emmy voting draws to a close this week, V.F.’s Awards Insider vertical is kicking into high gear with a barrage of stories about this season’s most notable contenders. New today, we’ve got David Canfield’s conversation with Juliette Binoche—the only interview the Oscar winner is giving about her role in The Staircase, HBO Max’s acclaimed but controversial spin on a notorious true-crime case. Blurring the lines of fact and fiction, she says, is “a theme that, as human beings, we have to deal with. Acting is all about putting everything on the table. I don’t know anything—and I want to explore what I don’t know.” 

Elsewhere in HWD, Christian Allaire digs into a particularly funny scene from Reservation Dogs; Derek Lawrence talks Atlanta and Station Eleven with behind-the-camera duo Hiro Murai and Christian Sprenger; Whitney Friedlandercatches up with Veep alum Matt Walsh, last seen as a very bad ex-husband on the CBS comedy Ghosts; and Chris Murphy sits down with Daryl McCormack, who holds his ownopposite Emma Thompson in the two-hander Good Luck to You, Leo Grande.
