]]>Hunt (As Good as It Gets), Hendricks (Mad Men), and Lloyd (Back to the Future) will play mystery roles in Season 3 of Hacks, and they’ll be in pretty good company. Dan Bucatinsky (Marry Me), Tony Goldwyn (Scandal), and stand-up comedian George Wallace joined the series in guest-starring roles, as well.
The leading duo Hannah Einbinder and Jean Smart will also be joined by series regulars Carl Clemons-Hopkins, Kaitlin Olson, Christopher McDonald, Mark Indelicato, Rose Abdoo, and Lorenza Izzo in Season 3. Paul W. Downs and Megan Stalter will be back, as well, after being promoted from recurring players to series regulars.
Hacks follows the journey of a struggling comedy writer Ava Daniels (Einbinder), whose career takes a wild turn after she’s brought in to help Las Vegas comedy diva Deborah Vance (Smart) with her act. Season 3 will kick off a year after they parted ways and see Deborah riding high off the success of her standup special while Ava pursues new opportunities in Los Angeles.

]]>Only a day after winning the award for the best motion picture at the Producers Guild of America Awards, CODA managed to dominate the WGA Awards. Its screenwriter Siân Heder picked up the trophy for the best-adapted screenplay.
The award for the best original screenplay went to Adam McKay for Don’t Look Up. This satirical comedy is in the running for the same award at the upcoming Academy Awards, but it will have to face tough competition in Belfast, King Richard, Licorice Pizza, and The Worst Person in the World.
HBO dominated TV categories—several of the network’s top shows walked away with shiny trophies. Succession was the expected winner for the best drama series, while Hacks netted the best comedy series award. As for mini-series, HBO collected another trophy in the category of long form original for Mare of Easttown, while the award for long-form adapted went to Netflix’s Maid.

]]>The post 2021 Emmy Awards: “The Crown” Dominates the List of Winners appeared first on EverydayKoala.
]]>What makes The Crown’s victory so impressive is the fact it picked up the awards in all of the categories it was nominated in. In addition to walking away with the outstanding drama series award, it also received trophies in all four drama acting categories and picked up trophies for outstanding directing and writing for a drama series.
Ted Lasso won the award for outstanding comedy series, while its stars Jason Sudeikis, Hannah Waddingham, and Brett Goldstein picked up acting awards in their supportive categories. HBO Max series Hacks also had a strong showing and picked up three awards, including the outstanding lead actress in a comedy series for Jean Smart.
When it came to mini-series, Mare of Easttown stars Kate Winslet, Evan Peters, and Julianne Nicholson brought its award total to three. The critically acclaimed HBO drama, however, failed to beat The Queen’s Gambit and missed out on the award for outstanding limited or anthology series.
The 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards were held on September 19th, with Cedric the Entertainer hosting the festivities.
