Monday, September 17 • Microsoft Theater
MONDAY, SEPTEMBER 17 • MICROSOFT THEATER MESSAGE FROM THE CHAIRMAN/CEO o say that television changed my life is not an exaggeration. In fact, it may be an understatement. This industry has allowed me to travel the world, meet extraordinary people, even win some awards — including seven Emmys. But without question, serving as Television Academy chairman was one of the high Tpoints of my career. It was a privilege to help guide this organization during a period of dynamic change, and I am proud of what our leadership accomplished during that time. Among my priorities as chairman was to increase diversity and inclusion in the television industry. The same is true of my work as a producer, which allows me to advocate in a more immediate and personal way for inclusion by creating opportunities for people from diverse backgrounds to share their talents and advance their own careers. In this respect, as in many others, my personal values are in alignment with those of the Academy, and as I reflect on 2018, I am pleased to note the continuation of many positive steps within the Academy during the Emmy Awards’ 70th anniversary year. One example: When we heard from members and programmers that, with so many shows in the Emmy mix, they wanted additional FYC events to provide voters and creators more opportunities to engage prior to the balloting period, we increased the number of FYC events from sixty-one in 2017 to more than a hundred by opening up weekends and allowing more than one event on a single night.

I am grateful to my dear wife for her patience and for her great support. I am thankful to my friend and colleague Ebru Yılmaz, who is always so generous for sharing her time and knowledge with me. And finally, I express my gratitude to my mother and father for their beliefs. iii ABSTRACT This study aims to expose the transformation of meanings of architectural space in cinema films and the transformative impact of cinema. And in this exposition, Andrew Niccol’s Gattaca (1997) and Peter Wier’s “Truman Show” (1998) films have been analyzed in case study in order to uncover the meaning changes of architectural spaces that have taken place in film medium. Since the early 20th century, cinema has developed into an influential mass communication tool due to the advancements in technology. The cinematic and photographic tools have been designed basically as instruments for receiving and recording of images at the beginning but then addition to the functions of recording, they are used in the re-production of reality.
