Deadline Advisory: We don’t enter dumb journalism contests. We don’t parade ourselves on television. What we do is work hard and break news and annoy you with TOLDJA! I only wish this nice accolade today had mentioned Mike Fleming, Nellie Andreeva, and Tim Adler. Because they deserve equal kudos.
Editor-in-Chief Nikki Finke - tip her here.


Congrats, you’ve earned it
I have to say this…..when I read Variety and HR the next day after reading this blog everything seems a week old…seriously…. I’m kind of astonished at the rate the news hits here first and NO I am not part of this blog just a lowly wannabe screenwriter trying to keep up with the bobs-n-weaves of the 24/7 industry.
Nikki,
You deserve the accolades. Incisive, informative, detailed and hard-hitting, comprehensive coverage. It’s the column I like to read first off. Congratulations to you and your colleagues.
You annoy us with a lot more than “Toldja!” You annoy us with personalizing every story. By constantly giving us updates on your health, when no one was asking. By constantly making yourself the center of the story. Get out of the way of the one thing your actually good at: breaking news.
I like that you personalize the story. Entertainment news is completely dry and boring without the Nikki touch. Keep at it!
Wow. You need to update the fonts on whatever machine you used to take that screenshot. Hideous.
That said, congratulations on the well-deserved accolades.
Congratulations on being recognized for your hard work.
Pat yourself on the back, your team deserves it!
Well deserved! Deadline is the most awesome movie biz site around, god knows what I’d do without it!
Well, how about that! Congrats!
Thanks for the awesome Pilot season coverage!
Congrats. Essential reading for anyone who’s anyone in the business. Impressive stuff. Keep up the good work and here’s hoping you never need to go down the path of Variety where an annoying subscription banner pops up immediately after clicking to read an article. There’s surely got to be a better way to encourage people to pay for a subscription…!
CONGRATS! BUT STOP BASHING TOM CRUISE!!!
Congratulations! I couldn’t agree more, and also wish it had mentioned Mike, Nellie, and Tim. Your entire staff is top notch!
Congratulations. All of you have earned the accolades.
Well, what eles would you expect.
No one else does what you do and no one get close to how well you do it Nikki!
Congrats, Nikki.
Did they acknowledge your “47 cats” as well?
HAHAHAHA JOE CARNA-HAM-N-CHEESE IS A HAS BEEN WHO NEVER WAS.
A-TEAM has not even made it’s production budget back worldwide….what a dick.
Congratulations Nikki, Nellie, Mike and Tim. Well done.;-)
Way to go, but not a surprise, although well deserved.
But, ‘Kudos’ sounds like candy. How about ‘Slaps on the back’ for the boys and ‘Congratulations’ for the girls, as opposed to a meaningless word . . .
Congrats Nikki. You’re the best (number two post by “church mouse” Did you drop out of elementary school? It’s you’re not your. Nikki must’ve criticized someone you were going down on)
I love that you put yourself in the stories, Nikki. It shows passion. We’re all adults. We can figure out your bias. And by bias, you have the best kind: You stand for the writer, for quality work, for fairness and decency in a business full of shitbirds and backstabbing morally challenged assholes.
You’re like fucking Diogenes.
Big ups, sista girl!
Congrats Nikki. Keep up the good work. Still waiting for the day I get on your radar. Lol
I’ll throw in my congrats as well. #1 in Time Magazine is definitely a major honor. I read Deadline every day without fail, and I’m certainly not alone. Keep rockin’ on…
Congratulations folks,
I’m not a Hollywood insider, heck, I live in flyover country…the Twin Cities!
But I love movies, and I enjoy your site and the colorful comments on the posts.
Keep up the great work.
Congrats! @Curtis Scoon is right. I can’t wait until you get all up in my personal bizness when I’m a star.
Congrats Nikki, well earned. Keep it real, or whatever the kids say nowadays (righteous, homie?).
Somewhere Ari Gold is fuming!
