“Television shows us who we are, where we stand as a society and how far we still must travel. As a black trans woman who spent her youth searching for refl ection, I’ve seen this impact fi rsthand. With ‘Hollywood,’ I got the opportunity to time travel to the Golden Age of Hollywood to rewrite some wrongs with my mentor and collaborator Ryan Murphy. We realized this medium gave us an opportunity to imagine what equality could have looked like then, if the people pushed to the margins were brought center stage.” Janet Mock, Writer/Director “ You’re always surprised. Something might happen on the day, whether it’s Tan walking around a store or Jonathan cutting somebody’s hair, Karamo unearthing someone’s true feelings, there are moments that you’re always listening for, that you’re always tuned into, and you have to guide the cameras specifi cally to them. Details count, like if there’s a closeup, can you see their eyes well enough? Sometimes those things are very tricky to get.” Hisham Abed, Director “We’ve all been able to realize a dream and at the same time get to help people, which is rare, you don’t usually get to follow your dreams and help other people attain their own.” Bobby Berk, Co-Host (Queer Eye) “There is such a sense of mutual respect and collaboration, and sense of gratitude for being there. It’s heaven. At the end of the day it’s really generosity that everyone has for everyone else.” Laura Linney, Actor (Ozark) “Filming is a profoundly collaborative process, not due to some ideology but simply because of the number of people that have to contribute to make the whole. There are far too many to name who have contributed with great skill and artistry to make the show what it is.” Tobias Menzies, Actor (The Crown) “In an industry that is desperate for change and constantly yearning for representation, I am grateful to be a part of a show that sparks timely and necessary conversation. A revisionist history of what a more inclusive Hollywood could have looked like six decades ago.” Jeremy Pope, Actor (Hollywood) Amid calls for social change, the entertainment business wrestles with a legacy of exclusion by Elaine Low and Angelique Jackson “STYLISH AND FAST PACED “ NPR “ Untitled-37 1 6/25/20 6:12 PM Untitled-38 1 6/25/20 6:12 PM MONDAY, JULY 6 5 PM PDT / 8 PM EDT An exclusive screening of the “Quarantine” episode and Q&A with series creators Rob McElhenney, Megan Ganz and star Charlotte Nicdao MODERATED BY MICHAEL SCHNEIDER Senior Editor, TV Awards, Variety REGISTER NOW VARIETY.COM/MYTHICQUEST CONTENTS "THE BUSINESS HAS BEEN BUILT ON SOME SYSTEMIC WRONGS THAT NEED TO BE RIGHTED." - - CHANNING DUNGEY P.3 0 P.4 0 P.4 4 P.4 9 Change Is A Powerful Some Timely, For Your Crafts in the Air Conversation Tasty Advice Consideration Is Hollywood ready to embrace Hillary Clinton and Amy Schumer Celebrity chefs use their time Variety examines Emmy hopefuls diversity and inclusion? bond in a Zoom chat, touching on in quarantine to show fans ways to in several categories, including By ELAINE LOW politics, feminism and Trump. spice up their home menus. production design, costumes, VFX, and ANGELIQUE JACKSON By RAMIN SETOODEH By REBECCA RUBIN cinematography and music.
