In a nutshell the brilliantly hilarious, pertinent, and wickedly smart new movie, You People is in some ways a new age Guess Who’s Coming To Dinner, that landmark 1967 Tracy-Hepburn-Poitier Oscar winning comedy about the effect an interracial relationship has on the parents of the young couple. Of course back then it was a major social issue and even had trouble booking some southern theatres. The idea was switched in a Bernie Mac/Ashton Kutcher 2005 remake that all those years later did not have the same impact. With anti-semitism and racism back on the rise in 2023 America however the concept of an interracial/interfaith marriage, Black and White, Jew and Muslim, could not be more timely or needed, and in co-star Jonah Hill’s and director Kenya Barris’ whipsmart screenplay is also a knock-you-out-of- your-seat laugh riot. Ironically I saw it this week at its World Premiere at the same...

The five Emmy Award-nominated cinematographers who participated in our Gold Derby Meet the Experts: Cinematography panel are known not just for creating some of the most indelible images on television last year but for consistency in their collaborators. Each has been nominated for their show previously and frequently works together with the same directors and crew.

“Something I learned throughout my film school years, is that it’s worth trusting the people you’re working with, especially directors you elect to work with,” “Euphoria” cinematographer and Emmy nominee Marcell Rev tells Gold Derby in our exclusive video interview. “Because when you’re in film school, and when you’re starting out, you’re really focused on your part in this machine. I think you have to learn – or at least I had to learn – to listen and to actually understand what’s going on...

The Freeform series “Grown-ish” doesn’t really do “special episodes,” but viewers of the “Black-ish” spinoff were treated to an unforgettable two-part episode in Season 4 about the aftermath of the police killing of an unarmed Black man.
Cinematographer Mark Doering-Powell – who shot both episodes and was nominated for an Emmy Award for the concluding 22 minutes, called “Put Your Hands Where Eyes Could See” – says the goal was to mix the typical “Grown-ish” visual style with more photojournalist techniques to capture scenes of protest and civil unrest.

“The three times that you see protests are approached very differently,” Doering-Powell tells Gold Derby in an exclusive video interview during our Meet the Experts: Cinematographers panel. “The challenge is how do you make these fit into our world and I’m quite happy with how that turned out. But that was probably most of our discussion...

Opposition to the Academy’s plan to award eight Oscars prior to the live telecast continues to grow, with more than 350 new names — including more than a dozen Oscar-winning editors, cinematographers and production designers — added to the petition sent last week to Academy president David Rubin urging a reversal of the plan.
Among the industry professionals signing are Oscar-winning cinematographers John Seale (“The English Patient”), John Toll (“Braveheart”) and Dean Semler (“Dances With Wolves”), and Oscar-winning editors Richard Chew and Paul Hirsch (“Star Wars”), Mikkel Neilsen (“The Sound of Metal”), Pietro Scalia (“JFK”) and Zach Staenberg (“The Matrix”).
Oscar-winning production designers Hannah Beachler (“Black Panther”), Barbara Ling (“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”), Adam Stockhausen (“Grand Budapest Hotel”) and David and Sandy Wasco (“La La Land”) also signed on.
Cinematography will be presented during the live show, but editing and production design are among the eight awards to be presented during the 4 p.

It's a good day for funny people, especially if your name is Tina Fey or Seth MacFarlane.
Fey's series, 30 Rock, was handed 22 Emmy nominations this morning, which stands as a record for a comedy series. She and Alec Baldwin were also nominated for acting awards. Plus, for the first time some of the other actors on NBC's laffer were recognized. Jane Krakowski, Jack McBrayer and Tracy Morgan all picked up supporting nominations.
MacFarlane's Family Guy was also nominated for best comedy series, the first time an animated show has cracked that category since The Flintstones in 1961. Two years ago MacFarlane decided to pull his show from contention in the animated series category to have it considered for best comedy.
Mad Men, the drama about the advertising world in the sixties, picked up 16 nominations in the drama categories, including a best actor nod for Jon Hamm. Hamm is also nominated as...
