'Appropriate Adult' sits out Emmy movie-miniseries race
Sundance Channel presentation "Appropriate Adult," which was nominated for the top miniseries prize at last month's BAFTA TV Awards and won acting awards there for Dominic West and Emily Watson, was not submitted for this year's Primetime Emmys.
West and Watson (who herself also received Golden Globe and SAG nominations last winter) do appear on this year's Emmy ballot for lead performance in a miniseries or movie. But "Appropriate" is nonetheless absent, as are writer Neil McKay and BAFTA-nominated director Julian Jarrold.
Brian Lowry of Variety reviewed the project here.
A native of Los Angeles raised by two parents and "Hill Street Blues," Jon Weisman ankled his scriptwriting career and began working for Variety in 2004, subsequently serving as associate editor of features and television reporter before becoming awards editor. He promises not to use this platform to retroactively campaign for Oscars for “The Misfits,” though he’d feel justified in doing so.
