The Rewards of the Craft: Emmy Nominees on the Joys & Challenges of Television

We had the pleasure of hosting two panels this year—check out our second panel here— ahead of the 2024 Emmy Awards, which will be held live on ABC on Sunday, September 15, from 8-11 ET. Like last year, we sat down with some nominees from some great, disparate, challenging shows. In our first panel, Planet Earth III composers Jacob Shea and Sara Barone (nominated for episode 6,

“Shōgun” Score: Atticus Ross & Co Meld Ancient Soul to Modern Tech

Composer Atticus Ross teamed with Trent Reznor over the past 15 years to conjure dread-filled tension in David Fincher thrillers The Social Network, Gone Girl, and The Girl with the Dragon Tattoo before plunging into afterlife limbo with their Oscar-winning score for Soul. But Atticus was on a new journey to the realm of feudal Japan when, in 2021, producer Jamie Wheeler approached him about scoring Shōgun in collaboration with his younger brother Leo Ross and longtime engineer Nick Chuba.

The Sartorial Feast of Feudal Japan with “Shōgun” Costume Designer Carlos Rosario – Part Two

In Part One of our conversation with costume designer Carlos Rosario, we talked about the monumental effort his team went through to research, design, and handmake 2,300 costumes for FX Networks’ gripping historical saga. We continue the discussion today on how his team designed a distinct closet for each of the three main characters.

Unlike most other projects, Rosario could not design a collection that could be utilized throughout the series.

The Sartorial Feast of Feudal Japan with “Shōgun” Costume Designer Carlos Rosario: Part One

“I wanted to create from a white canvas without any mental references going into the project,” costume designer Carlos Rosario (The Girl in the Spider’s Web, Jolt) explains why he chose not to read the James Clavell bestselling novel before working on FX Networks’ cinematic historical saga, Shōgun (将軍), and only used the 1980 miniseries adaptation as a broad reference. “As a costume designer, you build a strong psychological,

Behind the Cut With Emmy-Nominated Editors From “Dahmer,” “Welcome to Wrexham” & More

An editor’s role requires taking a mountain of footage and carving out a story. Sometimes, that story is inspiring, like the work that Emmy-nominated editors Charlies Little II, ACE, and Michael Brown did in the docu-series Welcome to Wrexham, which followed the story of Hollywood stars Ryan Reynolds and Rob McElhenney buying Wrexham AFC, one of the oldest professional football clubs in the world, and the transformation of the team, and the town,

“Atlanta” and “P-Valley” Costume Designer Tiffany Hasbourne’s Singular Style

Costume designer Tiffany Hasbourne began her journey as a stylist to some of the biggest names in music, including Missy Elliott, 50 Cent, French Montana, and Busta Rhymes. She got the attention of gatekeepers in Hollywood by styling the cast of High School Musical, and then rose to prominence by designing costumes for shows like Shooter, Raising Dion, and Ballers. It was her work on Ballers that got her the gig on Atlanta,

“Kindred” Costume Designer Jaclyn Banner on Dressing the First Octavia E. Butler Adaptation

Although Hugo and Nebula-winning novelist Octavia E. Butler was the first science fiction writer to ever receive a MacArthur Fellowship and the first Black woman to gain popularity and critical acclaim as a major science fiction writer, many are unaware of her genius and influence on the genre. That is about to change because now, finally, a number of her works are being adapted for the screen. The first is an FX series based on her 1979 novel Kindred created by showrunner Branden Jacobs-Jenkins,

Sam Rockwell and Michelle Williams Sizzle in First Fosse/Verdon Trailer

FX saw big wins at the Golden Globes last night with The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story and The Americans. ACS is an anthology series making Versace a one-time season and The Americans aired its final season in 2018. So, what is the next big thing for the groundbreaking channel? Hopefully, Fosse/Verdon because my inner theater nerd is shaken by the new trailer.

All of Your Winners from the 70th Emmy Awards

It was a truly Marvelous night at the 70th Emmy Awards. Seriously. There was even a live proposal. And there was also a lot of really great TV being honored with The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel leading the way. The Amazon comedy swept up four wins including Best Comedy Series in its first year of streaming. The rest of the winners also cemented the fact that streaming is here to stay.

The AHS: Apocalypse Trailer is a Greatest Hits Bonanza

The first trailer for American Horror Story: Apocalypse is completely batty. Familiar characters may have returned, but the suffocating angst of Murder House and glamorous sophistication of Coven have given way to the outrageous. Some of the most fun personas from the series return in a wild mashup mixed with a wild new storyline.

“No need for the rules anymore. The chaos has won,” the trailer declares.

Pose Guest director Tina Mabry On the Groundbreaking Show

Though the month of June is Pride month, Hollywood should ideally be celebrating the LGBTQIA experience year-round, in the name of diversity.

Luckily, a new show on FX, Pose, has premiered to great acclaim, and week by week is gathering an appropriately rabid fanbase.  Creator/writers Steven Canals, Brad Falchuk and Ryan Murphy (Murphy also directs two episodes) have built a story which takes place in 1987,

Listen to the Work of American Horror Story: Freak Show‘s Composer

It’s not like composer Mac Quayle got into this line of work exclusively to score seriously demented moments, but the Grammy® nominated musician has done just that for one of TV’s most wild shows. Quayle has written music for more than 30 films and television shows, and has made a name for himself as a dance re-mixer and multi-instrumentalist, but you might have encountered his work most recently on FX’s hit series American Horror Story: Freak Show.
