Matthias Glasner’s epic dysfunctional family drama Dying has won the top prize for best film at the 2024 German Film Awards, the Lolas.
Dying was one of the critical favorites at this year’s Berlin Film Festival, where Glasner won the Silver Bear for best screenplay. The film stars Lars Eidinger as a classical conductor with an extremely dysfunctional family.
In addition to the top prize, Corinna Harfoch won the best actress Lola for her role in Dying, where she plays Eidinger’s sharp-tonged and cold-hearted mother. Her Dying co-star Hans-Uwe Bauer took best supporting actor, and the film also took the Lola for best film music for composer Lorenz Dangel.
Ayşe Polat took best director and best screenplay for In the Blind Spot, her twisty documentary-style conspiracy thriller set in modern-day Turkey. The film, which premiered in Berlin’s Encounters section last year, won the top prize at the Oldenburg Film Festival,...

Refresh for latest: Oppenheimer continued its romp through awards season by winning the top film prize at the American Society of Cinematographers’ 38th annual ASC Awards, which were handed out Sunday night at the Beverly Hilton. See the winners list below.
Hoyte van Hoytema won for Oppenheimer, which is up for Best Cinematography at the Oscars next weekend. He will vie against the same quartet he beat for the ASC prize: Edward Lachman for El Conde, Matthew Libatique for Maestro, Rodrigo Prieto for Killers of the Flower Moon and Robbie Ryan, Poor Things (Searchlight).
The group’s film winner has gone on to claim the Academy Award nearly half of the time — 17 times in its 37 years — but not last year. Mandy Walker won the ASC’s top film prize in 2023, but the Academy Award went to James Friend for All Quiet on the Western Front.

“Oppenheimer” cinematographer Hoyte van Hoytema won Feature Film at the 38th ASC Awards, March 3 at the Beverly Hilton Hotel. The Oscar favorite beat the other four Oscar nominees: “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Maestro,” Poor Things,” and “El Conde”.
This marked van Hoytema’s first ASC win after three nominations (including “Dunkirk” and “Tinker Tailor Soldier Spy”) and positions the Dutch-Swedish cinematographer for his first Oscar win. Significantly, “Oppenheimer” represents the culmination of his experimental IMAX collaboration with director Christopher Nolan. The duo achieved a new kind of intimate spectacle with this psychological thriller about physicist J. Robert Oppenheimer (Best Actor nominee Cillian Murphy), the “father of the atomic bomb.” Van Hoytema used the large-format IMAX camera to explore the landscape of faces; namely, Oppenheimer’s in color from his perspective and Salieri-like adversary Admiral Lewis Strauss’ (Best Supporting Actor nominee Robert Downey Jr.) in black-and-white from his.

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards aired January 15 on Fox with actor Anthony Anderson serving as host for the first time. After months of strike-induced delays, the creatives behind the most revered shows of the 2022-2023 season finally learned the results of their TV academy bids as trophies were delved out in 26 categories covering comedy, drama, limited, variety, and competition series.
As usual, this year’s primetime ceremony occurred one week after the corresponding Creative Arts Emmys – a two-night event primarily focused on artistic and technical accomplishments. Freshman HBO drama “The Last of Us” came out on top there, with eight wins from 19 nominations. The comedies that scored the most victories (four each) were newcomers “The Bear” (FX) and “Wednesday” (Netflix), while the Netflix limited series “Beef” finished with three wins.

At long last, the 75th Emmy Awards have arrived. After a four-month delay, the celebration of the best in television from the 2022-2023 season will air on Monday, Jan. 15 on Fox. Scroll down for our official odds in all 26 television categories with our projected winners highlighted in gold.
In the comedy categories, “The Bear” looks to win big for its first season — even though it has already aired and received Golden Globe Awards for its second. Our odds anticipate it will make a near-complete sweep with six wins out of the seven categories. The only place it will not win is Comedy Actress, where they do not have a contender and where our users think Quinta Brunson will win for “Abbott Elementary.” These six wins will be added to “The Bear’s” four trophies from the Creative Arts ceremonies that took place last weekend, where it won for casting, picture editing,...

Amy Sherman-Palladino’s highly anticipated return to original television,”The Marvelous Mrs Maisel,” first premiered back in the spring of 2017 to bubbly, joyous acclaim. The Amazon Prime Video series chronicled the fictitious rise of recently separated Jewish-American housewife Miriam “Midge” Masiel (Rachel Brosnahan), as she pursued an unlikely career change to standup comedy. For its fifth and final season, the show nabbed 14 Emmy nominations including Luke Kirby as real-life comic Lenny Bruce in Best Comedy Guest Actor for the series finale, “Four Minutes.”
Having set the piece in late 1950s New York, Sherman-Palladino didn’t shy away from drawing her character inspirations from real-life figures of the time. Midge, for one, was largely based on trailblazing female comic and legend, Joan Rivers. From her upper-class jewish upbringing to her no-holds-barred style of comedy, the character of Mrs. Maisel was very much indebted to history. So too were other characters in...

With her 2022 Emmy victory for “Hacks,” Jean Smart became the seventh woman to take the Best Comedy Actress prize for both of her show’s first two seasons and, at age 70, broke her own record as the category’s oldest winner. Her history-making performance in her submitted episode, “The Click,” amounted to 21 minutes, translating to a sizable 62.31% of the roughly half-hour installment. If she were nominated for the exact same performance this year, however, she would land toward the bottom of the lineup’s screen time ranking.
Since “Hacks” has yet to return for a third season, Smart is incapable of retaining her title for a second time. The five current nominees (two of whom were bested by Smart last year) boast a screen time average of 27 minutes and 50 seconds, or 55.89% of their chosen episodes.

“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” is not slowing down for its last turn at the Emmys. For its fifth and final season, the period comedy on Amazon Prime Video is finishing exactly at the same amount it started with, at 14 Emmy nominations, almost a fifth of the streamer’s 2023 total of 68. This is the longest-spanning season for the show, covering five decades in nine episodes detailing the title character’s ascending career and destructive personal life.

Gold Derby can exclusively reveal that Rachel Brosnahan is entering “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” episode “Four Minutes” as her 2023 Emmy Award submission for Best Comedy Actress. The episode aired on May 26 and is the series finale of the Amazon Prime Video comedy.
In this installment, after a bitter Gordon (Reid Scott) turns Midge’s (Brosnahan) scheduled set on “The Gordon Ford Show” into a sit-down interview (on stools) about being the show’s “lady writer,” she decides during the commercial break to go rogue and subsequently delivers a star-making stand-up performance. Her four-minute set (hence the episode title) even wins over Gordon, who declares her “the marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” The series’ final moments are set in 2005, revealing that Midge and Susie (Alex Borstein) may be separated by distance but are close as ever as they watch “Jeopardy!” on VHS on the phone together.

In 2022, Nathan Lane became the sole record holder for most Best Comedy Guest Actor Emmy nominations (six) and then achieved his very first TV academy honor for his work on “Only Murders in the Building.” Having just earned another bid for the Hulu series, he could soon join six other two-time recipients of this award, including back-to-back champs Jay Thomas (“Murphy Brown”) and Mel Brooks (“Mad About You”). Although his chances are strong, he also faces the unique challenge of having to fend off a fellow former winner.
Seeking a bookend trophy of his own is “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” guest actor Luke Kirby, who was lauded for the same series in 2019. Lane is also involved in an immediate rematch with Sam Richardson (“Ted Lasso”) and faces fresh opposition from category newcomer Oliver Platt (“The Bear”) and Emmy first-timers Jon Bernthal (“The Bear”) and Pedro Pascal (“Saturday Night Live”).

“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” has a curious Emmy history in writing. After winning Best Comedy Writing in 2018 for its pilot, penned by creator Amy Sherman-Palladino, the Amazon Prime Video series has not been nominated in the category since, which is kind of crazy for such a verbally dense show about an aspiring comedienne, not to mention a former Best Comedy Series winner. The nomination for its pilot remains the show’s only one for writing. It has one last chance to return to the category for its fifth and final season — and it deserves to.
Best Comedy Writing will have six slots this year, one fewer than last year, so that’s already not great news for the “Maisel” crew. The show submitted two scripts: “Four Minutes,” the series finale written by Sherman-Palladino, and “The Testi-Roastial,” written by Daniel Palladino. They’re arguably the best episodes of the season and would be worthy nominees.

[The following story includes spoilers for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.]
The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel may have come to a close on May 26, but the characters at the heart of the Emmy-winning series will stay with the castmembers who played them for much longer than that.
The final season of the show from Amy Sherman-Palladino and Daniel Palladino saw the characters at the heart of it accomplish satisfying arcs — from one of the leads going to jail for his ex-wife to two other characters running in between stand-still traffic on New York City’s Upper West Side to support their daughter.
Miriam “Midge” Maisel (Rachel Brosnahan) and her father, Abe Weissman (Tony Shalhoub), have perhaps come further than most pairs in the Marvelous Mrs. Maisel. They went from not understanding each other and not having much of a relationship in season one to realizing they’re a lot more like the other than either of them realized when the show kicked off.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5, Episode 9 “Four Minutes.”] The curtain has closed on The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and its version of Lenny Bruce played by the charismatic Luke Kirby. Compared to previous seasons, Lenny had few moments onscreen in the final chapter, but he did resurface in the series finale episode through a few flashback sequences. For anyone familiar with Lenny’s real-life history, the comedian never made it beyond the year 1966 after dying from an overdose. His dabbling with drugs was teased in Season 4 when Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) discovered various paraphernalia in their hotel bathroom, but the series doesn’t show Lenny’s demise onscreen. (Credit: Prime Video) “There weren’t many conversations had because it always felt like Amy [Sherman-Palladino] and Dan [Palladino] had something set,” Kirby tells TV Insider of the choice to leave viewers with Lenny still alive.

Officially, “Maisel” premiered in November 2017, but the first episode was one of several contenders in Prime Video’s spring pilot season that March, where viewer feedback was taken into account before the streamer greenlit further episodes. Over five seasons and six years, “Maisel” amassed 20 Emmys with 66 nominations, pop ups all over New York City, and an honorary star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame.

Miriam “Midge” Maisel officially became the “Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” in the series finale titled “Four Minutes.”
The final episode of The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel saw Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) take the biggest risk of her career when she finally got the chance to make an appearance on The Gordon Ford Show — against Gordon Ford’s (Reid Scott) wishes.
When Gordon’s wife, Hedy (Nina Arianda), forces the talk show host to put Midge on his show, he begrudgingly obliges and breaks his rule that employees can’t appear as guests on the show. But, instead of introducing her as a comic, he introduces her as the show’s “resident lady writer,” while the two sit on stools instead of the couch his guests usually sit on.
With four minutes left in the broadcast, Gordon cuts to commercial, much to Mike Carr’s (Jason Ralph) dismay.

Spoiler alert! Spoilers ahead for the series finale of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”, titled “Four Minutes”. Read on at your own risk.
“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” took its final bow on Friday, as the season 5 finale showed us exactly where Rachel Brosnahan’s titular comedienne, Midge Maisel, ended up in the later years of her A-list career.
The flash-forward-heavy fifth and final season of the Emmy-winning comedy took away the suspense of Midge’s success early on in the final episodes, sharing with viewers that she did, in fact, become one of the biggest names in comedy. The unique story structure was one that the “Mrs. Maisel” creative team had been planning for some time, executive producer Dan Palladino told Et.
“Once we decided it was the last season, we just dove right into it,” he recalled. “It was fun, because we got to do time travel, but we’re not science fiction.

[Warning: The below contains Major spoilers for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel Season 5, Episode 9 “Four Minutes.”] The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel may have started set in the 1950s, but the story took viewers all the way into 2005 for the show’s final moments as Midge (Rachel Brosnahan) and Susie (Alex Borstein) bid viewers farewell. After teasing a rift between the pair earlier in the season, viewers discovered that their falling out stemmed from Susie’s ties to the mob and how that ultimately led to Joel’s (Michael Zegen) imprisonment. Years later, Midge sends a message to Susie during her roast where the manager asks for Midge’s number. (Credit: Prime Video) While we never get to see their reconciliation happen onscreen, a flash forward into 2005 sees the old friends chummy once more, joking over the phone and watching the latest episode of Jeopardy! together, which based on the context, appears to be a routine between them.

[The following story includes major spoilers for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel series finale, “Four Minutes.”]
Lenny Bruce (Luke Kirby) made an emotional and sincere return to The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel during its series finale, “Four Minutes.”
The final episode of season five opened with Lenny performing the penultimate show of his career at San Francisco’s Basin Street West in 1965, where he focused mostly on his legal troubles before dancing onstage. The show, which actually took place, saw one of the comedian’s final performances a year before his tragic death in August 1966 at 40 years old.
“Anytime he was onstage, those were always Lenny Bruce’s words — every utterance,” Marvelous Mrs. Maisel co-showrunner Daniel Palladino tells The Hollywood Reporter. “We would do some trimming, but we never added.”
Toward the end of Lenny’s set, viewers see Susie Myerson (Alex Borstein) in the audience, watching the legendary comic, who seems to be too far gone at this point.

Spoiler Alert: This interview contains spoilers from the series finale of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” now streaming on Amazon Prime Video.
More than half a decade ago, Rachel Brosnahan stepped in front of a vintage microphone to deliver a standup routine as 1950s Upper West Side housewife-turned-comic Miriam “Midge” Maisel. It was early on in production for the first season of “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel,” and she was terrified.
“I remember turning to Alex [Borstein, who plays Maisel’s no-nonsense manager Susie Myerson] and going, ‘Please don’t let me suck,’” Brosnahan tells Variety. “’If you see something, say something; like, please, any advice at all, I’ll take it.’ She looked at me and said, ‘I can’t help you. Take up your space, and ask for what you need. And bring this character into the world. Nobody knows who she is but you.’”
