In the latest Variety Awards Circuit, TV Editor Michael Schneider and Senior TV Editor Emily Longeretta discuss the Emmy contenders inside the drama field. An interesting fact…
Perfection is rarely achieved in movies, but this heaven-sent concert doc hits the sweet spot. Over two days in January 1972, the Queen of Soul, Aretha Franklin — she was 29 at the time — sweeps into the New Temple Missionary Baptist Church in Watts in front of a congregation and testifies to God in song. The blessed thing took nearly half a century to come out because director Sydney Pollack failed to sync the image with the sound. Then digital angels stepped in, and glory, glory, hallelujah!

In the latest Variety Awards Circuit, TV Editor Michael Schneider and Senior TV Editor Emily Longeretta discuss the Emmy contenders inside the drama field. An interesting fact, as Schneider points out, is that none of last year’s nominees are even eligible for the 2024 Emmy Awards. “Their shows are either done or they’re just not on the air from this past year,” said Schneider. “So that means that everyone who’s a contender was not nominated last year.”
The two welcome a few new (and returning) faces to the awards field this year including Imelda Staunton from “The Crown,” Emma Stone from “The Curse,” Maya Erskine from “Mr. & Mrs. Smith,” Jennifer Aniston and Reese Witherspoon from “The Morning Show” and Anna Sawai from “Shogun.”
An exciting addition to this year’s awards conversation is Walton Goggins who plays the Ghoul on Amazon Prime’s “Fallout.”
“Let’s give some shoutouts to Walton Goggins,” Schneider said. “We’ve loved him through the years on ‘Justified’ and so many shows. He’s just a utility player, and for him to do lead now ‘Fallout’ is killer, and that show is doing so well right now. Talk about a surprise if maybe Walton Goggins was able to sneak in.”
“I would really love to see Walton Goggins,” Longeretta agreed. “And the last person we have to mention is Nathan Fielder for ‘The Curse.’ He also created the series with Benny Safdie. Nathan Fielder is so great on screen.”
“He is the driest comedian there, so in some ways it makes sense that he’s finally in a drama field,” said Schneider, calling him a frontrunner in the drama space.
