International Emmys honor Alda, Lear, Murphy
Monday marks the 40th edition of the International Emmys. Nominees for the global kudos can be found here. In addition, the International Academy of Television Arts & Sciences is presenting Founders Awards to Ryan Murphy, Alan Alda and Norman Lear.
Ted Johnson of Variety has an interview with Alda and Lear discussing their changing perspectives on the intersection of their careers, entertainment and politics, while Susan Young contributed a pair of stories on Murphy, one discussing his intense storytelling drive, the other looking ahead to future projects.
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.
