    EMBARGOED UNTIL 8:40AM PT ON JULY 14, 2016 68th EMMY® AWARDS NOMINATIONS For Programs Airing June 1, 2015 – May 31, 2016 Los Angeles, CA, July 14, 2016– Nominations for the 68th Emmy® Awards were announced today by the Television Academy in a ceremony hosted by Television Academy Chairman and CEO Bruce Rosenblum along with Anthony Anderson from the ABC series black-ish and Lauren Graham from Parenthood and the upcoming Netflix revival, Gilmore Girls. "Television dominates the entertainment conversation and is enjoying the most spectacular run in its history with breakthrough creativity, emerging platforms and dynamic new opportunities for our industry's storytellers," said Rosenblum. “From favorites like Game of Thrones, Veep, and House of Cards to nominations newcomers like black-ish, Master of None, The Americans and Mr. Robot, television has never been more impactful in its storytelling, sheer breadth of series and quality of performances by an incredibly diverse array of talented performers. “The Television Academy is thrilled to once again honor the very best that television has to offer.” This year’s Drama and Comedy Series nominees include first-timers as well as returning programs to the Emmy competition: black-ish and Master of None are new in the Outstanding Comedy Series category, and Mr. Robot and The Americans in the Outstanding Drama Series competition. Additionally, both Veep and Game of Thrones return to vie for their second Emmy in Outstanding Comedy Series and Outstanding Drama Series respectively.

  • Legitimacy and the Celebrity Single-Issue Candidate
    Legitimacy and the celebrity single-issue candidate While news coverage of General Elections can be argued to ‘crowd out’ other topics of public interest in the public sphere, some saw the election as an opportunity to attract publicity to a cause. The artist Bob and Roberta Smith stood in Michael Gove’s Surrey Heath constituency in protest at the coalition’s changes to the education curriculum downgrading the importance of art, while the comedian Al Murray’s ‘Pub Landlord’ candidacy in South Thanet was presented, perhaps more ambiguously, as a satirical criticism of fellow candidate Nigel Farage (the initials of Murray’s ‘Free United Kingdom Party’ (FUKP) illustrating the blunt nature of any ironical intent). Murray’s manifesto pledged to brick up the channel tunnel using British bricks and Polish workers; Smith’s platform was built around placing art at the centre of the curriculum. Towards the end of the campaign, and notwithstanding the final outcome, legitimacy - in the sense of the various potential parliamentary combinations of the main parties - became a key media topic. To what extent was the legitimacy of candidates such as Murray and Smith questioned? Mainstream media coverage of Smith was limited, but some supportive niche media emphasised his artist-activist credentials. This is perhaps partly due to the ‘safe’ seat he was contesting, which was never likely to change hands; he could not be argued to be disrupting ‘legitimate’ electoral politics. The campaign was also constructed around a positive, niche single issue - the importance of art education both culturally and in economic terms - which could be treated by other candidates and the media as a legitimate (but marginal) topic.

  • Talkin' 'Bout a Revolution
    1 Overview of talk We are not doing a comedy sketch we are doing a talk about politics which revolves around comedians Why are comedians like Brand & Grillo (or Dieudonné) capturing a political mood, in a way that pop stars would have done years ago? 2 Dieudonné Anelka doing the quenelle 3 The context, the background to our talk, is crisis. Or rather crises (plural). We currently face a set of intersecting crises. These include: 4 Economic crisis. Starting with the fi nancial crisis of 2007/08, which has generalised into a more or less global economic crisis – so-called Great Recession. Widening inequality: the top 1% increasingly living like sun gods, whilst for a rising proportion of the rest of us what Ed Miliband has been calling “the cost of living crisis” and what others have described as a crisis of social reproduction. That is, a crisis in our abilities to meet our need, to survive, and, increasingly, a crisis in our ability to imagine a better future, to hope. 5 Climate crisis 6 Energy crisis – these are the Alberta tar sands 7 Finally, there exists a crisis of political legitimacy, even a crisis of democracy. Plebgate is actually a rather minor chapter in this story. (No duck ponds or subscriptions to porn channels paid for by the taxpayer. No deaths in police custody or undercover offi cers fathering children by the women they’re spying on. No hacking into the phones of murdered school girls.) But what’s interesting about it is that it involves three major institutions or sets of actors: politicians, police and the Fourth Estate, the media.
