Having a hot streak of a night at the 2020 Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, Watchmen capped it with an Outstanding Limited Series win and a call to meet the challenges of history and today. “History is mystery, it is broken into a million puzzle pieces and many are missing,” said series creator Damon Lindelof in his acceptance speech for the HBO show. “We know where those pieces are, but we don’t seek them out because we know finding them will hurt,” he added, wearing a “Remember Tulsa ’21” T-shirt and standing in front of the masked team of Watchmen writers and producers. “Sometimes we cause that hurt, maybe we even benefited from it, but we have to name it before we can repair it.” Related Story ‘Succession’ Wins Emmy For Outstanding Drama Series: Complete Winners List “Be careful, be clumsy, run hot, stay cool, be the bull in the china shop, pick up what you broke and glue it back together,” … [Read more...] about ‘Watchmen’ Creator Damon Lindelof Dedicates Emmy Limited Series Win To Tulsa 1921 Massacre Survivors & Victims

The WGA ’s long-running legal battle to reshape the talent agency business is now officially over. On Tuesday, U.S. District Court Judge André Birotte Jr., who oversaw the case, granted a request by the WGA and WME to voluntarily dismiss their antitrust suits, bringing the case to a close with the words, “It is so ordered.” Birotte’s able handling of one of Hollywood’s most significant and complicated antitrust cases in years helped make the final settlement possible when he famously urged attorneys for WME and the union to settle their dispute before it could go to trial. “Come on folks. Get together. Get this done,” he told their lawyers during a virtual hearing in December.

It is a film titled Uptight . Its subject: a black former steel mill worker played by Julian Mayfield, now an unreliable alcoholic who, in his desperation, in the confused ideological haze that besets him upon the death of Martin Luther King Jr ., does an extraordinary thing. He sells out his own friends and neighbors, people who belong to a group called “The Committee,” whose politics, though altogether vague, have an obvious analogue in the real-life political circumstances of the film’s own moment: the Black Panthers. The film is set in Cleveland and, only a few months before it wrapped, King — the real King — was assassinated in Memphis, Tennessee. Hence the Uptight ’s opening: Documentary images of … [Read more...] about ‘Judas and the Black Messiah’: Shaka King’s Movie Wrestles With the History of Black Power
