EMMYS: ‘Starry Night’ Key Art Unveiled

404236_EMMYS_KA_R10Here is the Key Art for this year’s Primetime Emmy Awards, which the TV Academy will reveal tomorrow. It has a disco/Dancing With the Stars vibe and a monochromatic background that makes NBC’s “more colorful” logo at the bottom a little out of place. The theme this year is “Starry, Starry Night.” Now that the slogan is set, the TV Academy brass sure are hoping that the Emmy nominations next month will live up to it, with the biggest TV stars making the cut and having a reason to walk the red carpet on August 29. BTW, for the first time, the TV Academy will be giving away 100 Emmy posters this year.

Last week, I wrote about a Universal Pictures/Illumination Entertainment deal to acquire the original Addams Family drawings by Charles Addams so Tim Burton could direct a stop-motion 3D animated film. Numerous Deadline readers thought the story was false based on an MTV.com “exclusive” report. I stand by my story. The … Read More »

I hear the deal isn’t done yet. Remember how pre-merger he was pushed out by William Morris alpha female Jennifer Rudolph Walsh, and then took all his clients with him. Meanwhile, 3 Arts Entertainment has been trying to recapitalize.

I love anything dealing with Hollywood history, so I enjoy Tom Rothman’s historical monologue Fox Legacy on the Fox Film Channel. But, surprisingly, today’s New York Times profile on the Fox Filmed Entertainment co-chairman’s cable show didn’t mention the closing of the 20th Century … Read More »
