Backstage At The SAG Awards 2018



Another year in the press room at the SAG Awards — check out IndieWire's full coverage here. Most of the film winners didn't bother to come back stage, but TV was in full force, as always. Above, Allison Janney — who won the supporting film actress award for "I, Tonya," but TV can still claim her as one of its own. A few more pics from backstage:

Emmys 2017: Backstage With Winners Donald Glover, Alec Baldwin and More


Julia Louis-Dreyfus, Donald Glover, and "Master of None" writer Lena Waithe were among the winners who broke new ground at Sunday night's ceremony. And the streaming TV biz passed the ultimate Emmy threshold on Sunday night, as Hulu’s “The Handmaid’s Tale” made history. “Handmaid’s Tale” picked up the win for outstanding drama series, which represents the first time a streaming service had one won of the top Emmy series prizes. It was just four years ago, in 2013, that Netflix became the first streaming platform to win an Emmy, as “House of Cards” picked up a handful of victories. Read all about it here. I covered the news from backstage; a few highlights:

KCRW's The Spin-Off: "Veep" Stars Matt Walsh and Timothy Simons


Veep KCRW

On the latest edition of KCRW's The Spin-Off, Joe and I chat with "Veep" stars Matt Walsh and Timothy Simons about the Emmy-winning comedy:

Since starring in Veep on HBO, Timothy Simons and Matt Walsh have found themselves having to think before they tweet. The two actors tell us how their own take on politics has changed since they started working on the show, and Simons explains how he accidentally got roped into endorsing a political candidate because of the show.

Walsh and Simons also share how the show has evolved over the years. Season 5 brought some big changes--filming moved from Baltimore to Los Angeles and they were working with a new showrunner. They explain how scenes may change from an initial table read to the final cut, and how having Trump in the real-life race expands the options for possible gaffes in future seasons of the show.
