There have only been 19 Egot winners in entertainment history. This acronym title is attributed to the few stars who win an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar, and a Tony, demonstrating them to be one of the very best practitioners in each of the four major entertainment fields of TV, music, film, and theater.
Several stars are looking to become the 20th Egot winner and among those names is Taika Waititi. He won an Oscar for Best Adapted Screenplay in 2020 for “Jojo Rabbit,” ticking off the film segment of the Egot. He then took home a Grammy for the same film in 2021 when he won Best Compilation Soundtrack For Visual Media. That was number two.
However, he has yet to win an Emmy or a Tony. He has never worked on Broadway, but he has reaped three Emmy bids to date. In 2020, he was nominated for Character Voice-Over Performance for playing...

Olivia Colman is in line for another successful awards season as her guest performance in FX’s “The Bear” looks set to snag her another Emmy nomination. The FX on Hulu show follows Jeremy Allen White as a chef who leaves the world of fine dining behind in order to help run his family’s sandwich shop in Chicago.
The show is packed full of superb guest spots from major names, including Jamie Lee Curtis, Sarah Paulson, Will Poulter, and Bob Odenkirk. But it’s Colman who perhaps has the best guest spot. She plays British executive chef Terry, who works at Ever, the fine dining restaurant where Ebon Moss-Bachrach‘s Richie stages.
Colman features as Terry in episode seven of season two, titled “Forks,” and critics agree that she was a standout.

It’s safe to say a lot of people had a lot of problems with the switch from HBO Max to Max, but there was at least one upside to the streaming shakeup. Now, it’s easier than ever to find the excellent queer stories floating around Warner Bros. Discovery’s platform.
During its lifespan, HBO Max never had an LGBTQ tag to filter its offerings and help subscribers find stories about the queer community more easily: a surprising move for a streamer named after the channel that brought us boundary-breaking works like “Six Feet Under” and the miniseries adaptation of “Angels in America.” That’s been remedied on Max, which features an “LGBTQ+ Voices” collection. You do have to scroll quite far down the homepage to find it in the collections carousel, but when you do, it makes searching for the queer films and shows on the streamer considerably easier.

Since premiering on May 31 (the exact cutoff date for 76th Emmys eligibility), HBO’s “The Great Lillian Hall” has become an undeniably strong contender in this year’s wide-open Best TV Movie race. In the past week alone, its Gold Derby program category odds jumped from 40/1 to 18/1 while lead and supporting cast members Jessica Lange and Kathy Bates both moved closer to predicted nominee status.
“The Great Lillian Hall” has found some of its greatest support among our team of in-house editors, more than half of whom are officially on board with it and Lange being nominated. Bates – who held 100/1 general odds until last Thursday and now sits at 62/1 – is on track to at least crack said subgroup’s movie/limited supporting actress lineup very soon.
Our editors’ consensus picks have indeed changed quite a bit in the last week, with the most noticeable developments involving newly predicted winners Richard Gadd and Claire Foy.

X-men '97 Scores TCA Nomination For Outstanding New Program Alongside Shogun, Ripley & Baby Reindeer
The Television Critics Association announced their picks for the best shows of the 2023-2024 TV season on Monday, and in a pleasantly surprising development, Marvel Studios' recent Disney+ series, X-Men '97, picked up two significant nominations.
The animated revival scored nominations for Outstanding New Program and Outstanding Achievement in Family Programming.
Though X-Men '97 proved to be a big hit with fans and critics alike, it's rare that an animated series - and a superhero animated series at that - would receive any TCA recognition, especially outside of the Children's Programming category.
What are the mutant heroes' chances of picking up the win? Well, the show is up against some heavy hitters such as Shōgun, Baby Reindeer and Ripley, so, fittingly, they are the underdogs here.
Former showrunner Beau DeMayo shared the following post in response to the news.

Girls5eva Girls5eva, on Netflix, went with a ’90s-themed party.
Teresa Mastropierro says that since Girls5eva began, she had a box of CDs under her desk “just waiting for their day in the sun.” So when she heard that the eponymous girl group would be performing at a mansion for a nostalgia-themed birthday party in season three’s “Orlando,” Mastropierro knew she had to put those artifacts to good use and build a curtain out of them for a stage of pure ’90s splendor.
In the episode, birthday girl Taffy (Catherine Cohen), married to a rich sugar daddy, is throwing a bash where the posters from her teenage bedroom come to life, so Mastropierro thought “tacky teenager” for the decor. “We chose things that felt young and then tried to find the most over-the-top version of it that we could come up with,” the production designer explains.

For the second year in a row, three shows have topped the Television Critics Association nominations. “Baby Reindeer,” “Ripley” and “Shōgun” lead Monday’s nominations for the 40th annual awards with five bids each.
All three shows are up for Program of the Year, a category dominated by FX and Netflix. The former fielded three nominees with “Shōgun” “The Bear” and “Reservation Dogs,” while the latter is repped by “Baby Reindeer” and “Ripley.” Max’s “Hacks” is the sole non-fx and non-Netflix nominee.
Last year, “Succession,” “The Last of Us” and “The Bear” scored five nominations apiece. “Succession” and “The Bear” wound up with two wins each, with the former taking Program of the Year, but “The Last of Us” went 0-5.
After expanding to eight slots per category in 2021, TCA has reverted to six slots. No reason was given.
More curious, however, is the unprecedented double-dipping by three shows.

That being said, both “Baby Reindeer” and “Fargo” earned noms for Outstanding Drama Series and Outstanding Achievement in Movies, Miniseries or Specials which is utterly head-scratching.

Known mostly for her Emmy and Golden Globe nominated performance as writer and comedian Ava Daniels on the television series “Hacks,” Hannah Einbinder is ready to share more about herself with her new Max comedy special, “Everything Must Go,” premiering on the streamer June 13.
“It feels like the most intimate extension of myself, being and soul that I am sharing,” Einbinder said recently in an interview with the LA Times.
The special is something Einbinder’s been preparing for her entire life and includes personal anecdotes on topics ranging from her sense of religion to her experiences as a competitive cheerleader.
“It was a huge chunk of my life and it was my first real passion for performance,” Einbinder said of her time as a “flyer” on the cheerleading squad at Beverly Hills High School. “I was very dedicated to perfection. I think my work ethic can be very, obviously to me at least,...

“Loot” and “Pose” star Michaela Jaé Rodriguez says while growing up, the Logo dramedy series “Noah’s Arc,” which followed the lives and relationships of four gay men in Los Angeles, was one of the first shows she saw that made her feel represented.
“There were so many people of color on that show,” Rodriguez told Variety. “They did highlight a lot of trans women. It wasn’t as prominent, but the girls were there. I saw a whole encompassing story around all of the Lgbtqia+ community in that show and it resonated with me, it still resonates with me today.”
Rodriguez was honored with the Vanguard Award Friday night at the Critics Choice Association’s inaugural Celebration of LGBTQ+ Cinema & Television in Los Angeles. The celebration honored achievements from LGBTQ+ creators and talent within the entertainment industry, both in front of and behind the camera.

One of the most critically acclaimed shows on Max (formerly HBO Max) is coming to an end, with it revealed today that Tokyo Vice’s second season will be its last. The show starred Ansel Elgort as American journalist Jake Adelstein, upon whose memoir the show was based. In it, Adelstein, a crime reporter, relocates to Tokyo and becomes embroiled in the world of the Japanese Yakuza. Ken Watanabe played his mentor, a detective investigating organized crime in the city, while Rachel Keller, Sho Kasamatsu and Rinko Kikuchi co-starred.
The pilot episode for the show was famously directed by the great Michael Mann, who also served as one of the show’s executive producers. It was originally commissioned at a time when Warner-Discovery was hoping to make HBO Max a hub for high-end series, only for many of their shows, including Raised by Wolves, The Flight Attendant, and now Tokyo Vice...

“Tokyo Vice” — the crime drama that has run on Max for two seasons — has come to an end, at least for now.
The cancelation was confirmed Saturday at the PGA’s Produced By conference in Los Angeles during a panel discussion about the Ansel Elgort series and the Emmy-winning Max comedy “Hacks.” Max original programming chief Sarah Aubrey, along with “Tokyo Vice” creator and executive producer J.T. Rogers and director and executive producer Alan Poul, detailed the development of the series that was an elaborate production, much of it on the streets of Tokyo.
Aubrey characterized the decision to end after Season 2, which bowed in February, as something that was planned as a storytelling arc to allow the writers to build toward a clear end point. Rogers also characterized it as a mutual decision to support the storytelling.
“To know you’d have the two-season arc was really wonderful,” Rogers said.

Welcome to Emmy Experts Typing, a weekly column in which Gold Derby editors and Experts Joyce Eng and Christopher Rosen discuss the Emmy race — via Slack, of course. This week, we revisit comedy, which has some open slots in every category.
Christopher Rosen: Hello, Joyce! We’re back to type about the Emmys comedy race, which means you can expect a whole lot of “Hacks” here at the start since we’re both certified members of its stan club. At least anecdotally, the show’s momentum continues to build after its incredible Season 3 finale — so much so that at least one half-baked hot take about how “Hacks” isn’t a “good comedy” was published this week. I’m here for all the “Hacks” attention, and I remain convinced it can win Hannah Einbinder her deserved Emmy plus perhaps bring another writing award to the shelves of Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs and Jen Statsky.

“Hacks” has undoubtedly secured its place as a staple in modern comedy, capturing audiences with its wit and the dynamic between its lead characters. With Season 3, the show brings Jean Smart’s Deborah Vance and Hannah Einbinder’s Ava Daniels back together, immersing them in each other’s professional and personal lives more than ever before. Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) returns riding high after her stand-up special’s success, while Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) explores new opportunities in Los Angeles. However, their intertwined fates continue to evolve compellingly throughout the season. The season culminates in a particularly powerful moment that left viewers in...

Emmy voting doesn’t start until June 13, but this is no quiet week. Gold Derby editors and Experts Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng are here to discuss the increasing buzz for Hannah Einbinder as campaigning kicks into high gear.
While Einbinder remains in second place in the Best Comedy Supporting Actress odds, you’d have to be living under a rock to miss the endless praise for her performance in the “Hacks” Season 3 finale in the past week. It’s easy to feel she’s unstoppable in the afterglow of a great finale, but can she sustain this through the summer — and after “The Bear” drops its third season later this month? And while it’s not the same thing nor is it eligible, Einbinder also has a comedy special, “Hannah Einbinder: Everything Must Go,” premiering on Max the day voting starts, which definitely won’t hurt her visibility.

Crave’s management is eyeing a breakthrough into the top three streaming services in Canada, as its parent Bell unveiled its 2024 season Upfronts slate today.
In an exclusive interview with Deadline, Bell Media VP, Content Development & Programming Justin Stockman outlined a “multi-pronged, multi-year” plan to break into the top three by subscriber numbers, which is currently occupied by Disney+, Prime Video and Netflix. Crave has around 3.1 million subs at the moment, which has ticked up slowly over the past 24 months, but Stockman and Bell President Sean Cohan are aiming for bigger and better things.
“Crave is doing well, but we think it could do better, which was Sean’s statement,” said Stockman. “This is a growing country and there’s lots of opportunity. We are a country on the rise so how do we tap into that new market as well. We continue to roll out original content, lock in the deals we have,...

Months before the highly anticipated third season of “Hacks” premiered, Gold Derby’s thousands of 2024 Emmy predictors collectively agreed that it poses the biggest threat to defending Best Comedy Series champion “The Bear.” As the Max series’ latest batch of episodes dropped throughout May, its standing in the main race steadily improved, with its well-received finale triggering noticeable boosts in multiple categories.
Over the past week, the share of top Best Comedy Series votes held by “The Bear” decreased by 1.2%, while that of “Hacks” grew by the same amount. Although the two programs remain separated by nearly 80 percentage points, it speaks volumes that “Hacks” is at least 1.5 points ahead of every other contender.
After simultaneously running second in their respective races for several weeks, lead and supporting “Hacks” actresses Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder are now closer than ever to toppling frontrunners Ayo Edebiri (“The Bear”) and Meryl Streep...

“Let’s not make ’em laugh” seems to be the new mantra for rewarding comedies at the Emmys.
Clear-cut, humor-filled chuckle fests once dominated the Emmys for comedy series, with classics such as “Taxi,” “The Golden Girls,” “Friends” and “Seinfeld” amusing generations of fans and finding new life via reruns and streaming services.
However, at the dawn of the streaming era, the multi-pronged so-called dramedy began creeping up in the awards circle with titles such as Netflix’s “Orange Is the New Black” — which famously changed from comedy to drama — and Amazon Prime Video’s “Transparent.” As of late, the category has taken a more serious turn.
In recent years, the nominees and winners for comedy series have reflected a broader, more inclusive interpretation of comedy. Shows like Amazon’s “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” and “Fleabag,” along with HBO’s “Barry” and Apple TV+’s “Ted Lasso” have garnered critical...

[This story includes spoilers for the Season 3 finale of “Hacks.”]
For three seasons, “Hacks” fans have watched up-and-coming comedienne Ava Daniels (Hannah Einbinder) learn the ins-and-outs of finding success as a woman in the entertainment industry by helping aging stand-up Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) revitalize her career. Though Ava and Deborah seem to be kindred spirits, it’s clear they both struggle through their partnership, with Deborah’s old ways often coming into conflict with Ava’s more progressive outlook. Now, at the end of the television series’ third season, Ava finally takes a lesson out of Deborah’s book, threatening to reveal negative information about her to the press in order to assure her dream job as head writer for Deborah’s new late night show.
Discussing the finale in a recent interview with The New York Times, showrunners Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky address this shift in power dynamics and what it means for the future.

Say what you will about Warner Bros. Discovery’s business practices, but Max knows it has a very good thing in “Hacks.” The award-winning comedy, which is likely to be the only serious competition for FX’s “The Bear” at this year’s Emmys, has already been renewed for Season 4. The news couldn’t have come at a better time, as the explosive Season 3 finale, which is titled “Bulletproof” and is now streaming, sets Deborah (Jean Smart) and Ava (Hannah Einbinder) down a surprising new path as the former’s stint as the host of a late night show officially gets underway. But their relationship isn’t the only one changing as the season comes to an end — Jimmy (co-creator Paul W. Downs) and Kayla (scene-stealer Meg Stalter) embark on a new chapter, too. A brilliant, complex and altogether hilarious look at friendship, ambition and women in Hollywood, “Hacks” is...

[This story contains spoilers from the Hacks season three finale, “Bulletproof.”]
Just hours after Hacks was renewed for a fourth season, the cast and creative team behind the hit comedy reunited for a conversation about its twisty season three finale.
The final episode, which dropped this week, saw Deborah Vance (played by Jean Smart) beginning to put together her new late night show, promising Ava (Hannah Einbinder) the head writer job before yanking it away. In the final moments of season three, Ava gives Deborah a taste of her own medicine, threatening to go public with a scandal that could ruin the show unless she’s given the head writer job.
“My baby has learned her lessons well; this will be fun,” Smart joked at Thursday night event of her (and Deborah’s) reaction to the twist. “No, but it’s a mix of a lot of things. I think she is outraged and doesn’t like being manipulated like that,...

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for Hacks Season 3 finale, “Bulletproof.”] Hacks may be three seasons in, but by the finale episode of the Max comedy series’s latest chapter, it feels like Deborah Vance (Jean Smart) and Ava Daniels’ (Hannah Einbinder) story is just beginning with earlier episodes serving as the setup of the main story to come. As fans of the show know by now, Deborah’s always wanted to live out her late-night TV dreams that were dashed earlier in her career. Once she got the call that she had the job after a laborious campaign, Deborah planned to make Ava her head writer, but fears that doing so would cost her the dream, the comedian backed out, fibbing to her young protege that the network didn’t want to shake things up that much. When Ava learns that it was Deborah’s decision to rescind the head writer position, she uses blackmail to get it back,...

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers from “Bulletproof,” the Season 3 finale of “Hacks,” now streaming on Max.
“Hacks” spent its third season bringing its two lead characters back together, and enmeshing them more thoroughly in each other’s careers and lives. And in the season finale, it bound them together for the foreseeable future — all while ensuring that their next steps together will be colored by blackmail, betrayal, and all the other elements of interpersonal comedy.
The previous season had ended with Deborah (Jean Smart) firing Ava (Hannah Einbinder) so that Hannah could grow into her voice independently; it was a state of affairs that couldn’t last long. Brought back into the fold, Ava embraces an unlikely new mission for her comedy-legend boss — getting her the coveted position of hosting a late-night talk show. Having helped secure that job for Deborah, Ava simply assumes she’ll be brought on as head writer.

Hannah Einbinder doesn’t perform the stand-up comedy in Hacks — that falls to Jean Smart, who stars with Einbinder as veteran comic Deborah Vance — but that was her primary job before she landed the role on the Emmy-winning Max series as Ava, a struggling writer who reluctantly takes a job with Deborah and, over the course of the show’s three seasons, becomes both a confidant to the veteran comic and the object of Deborah’s most withering scorn.
Einbinder will take center stage herself in her first stand-up special, Everything Must Go, which premieres June 13 on Max. The hourlong set, filmed in April at the El Rey Theatre in Los Angeles, covers everything from climate change to Einbinder’s days as a competitive cheerleader as a teenager, shot in a cinematic style by director Sandy Honig.

It often seemed like the production of “Hacks” season three was cursed. After 32 Emmy nominations and six wins over its first two seasons, the one surviving hit HBO Max, er, Max program took two years to return to the streamer. There were unfortunate health issues for star Jean Smart and both the WGA and SAG strikes last summer, but the Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs, and Jen Statsky comedy series finally returned this spring with, perhaps, its finest season yet.

Hi. Yes. Sorry to bother you. Hello. Do you have a moment to talk about our Lord and Savior, Deborah Vance? The Emmy award-winning series "Hacks" has just finished its phenomenal third season, one that many fans (myself included) were terrified wouldn't be able to match the triumphant heights of season 2. The second season ended in a way that felt complete if Max were to have pulled the plug on the show, but after the absolutely dynamite season 3 finale, "Hacks" has proven itself as a series that can and should continue as long as stars Jean Smart and Hannah Einbinder want to keep playing Deborah Vance and Ava Daniels, respectively.
It's exciting as a "Hacks" fan from the very start to see so many people finally catching onto what is arguably the best comedy show on TV that isn't "Abbott Elementary" or the not-really-a-comedy brilliance that is "The Bear," especially...

Welcome to the 261st episode of TV’s Top 5, The Hollywood Reporter’s TV podcast.
Every week, hosts Lesley Goldberg (West Coast TV editor) and Daniel Fienberg (chief TV critic) break down the latest TV news with context from the business and critical sides, welcome showrunners, executives and other guests, and provide a critical guide of what to watch (or skip, as the case may be).
This week, we’re with one of our favorites, Nida Manzoor, the creator and showrunner of Peacock’s We Are Lady Parts, which we’ve been a proud supporter of since it first launched back in June 2021. That’s when Manzoor first joined the podcast to discuss the freshman season of comedy about a Muslim punk rock band.
Since then, Manzoor wrote and directed the action-comedy Polite Society, before turning her attention to the six-episode second season of We Are Lady Parts, which arrives May 31 on Peacock.
