The 70th Annual Primetime Emmys – Recap – 09/18/2018
‘GAME OF THRONES’ AND ‘MRS. MAISEL’ WIN BIG AT 2018 EMMYS – (09/18/2018)
HBO’s Game of Thrones and Amazon’s The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel were the big winners at the 70th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards on Monday (September 17th.)
The evening was hosted by Saturday Night Live head writers and “Weekend Update” co-anchors Colin Jost and Michael Che. The show kicked off with a star-studded skit led by Kenan Thompsonand Kate McKinnon that poked fun at the Academy’s commitment to inclusivity and diversity.
After much (often humorless) soul-searching on the part of Hollywood, especially at awards shows, the skit—which eventually pulled in a veritable roll call of culturally, physically, racially and sexually diverse Hollywood, including John Legend, Rupaul, Ricky Martin, Kristen Bell and Aidy Bryant—set the show off to a rollicking start.
Che and Jost continued the party, coming out to roast Hollywood’s well-meaning, but often ham-fisted attempts at diversity at all costs, but ultimately concluding that television has truly come a long way in the past 70 years.
Going in, HBO’s Game of Thrones led the pack, raking in 22 nominations, after missing the eligibility window last year. Westworld, another HBO drama, landed 21 nods, as did NBC’s Saturday Night Live. Hulu’s The Handmaid’s Tale was hot on their heels with 20, and FX’s The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story nabbing 18 and FX’s Atlanta earning 16.
Ultimately, Game of Thrones landed the coveted Outstanding Drama Series Emmy, while The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel grabbed the equally sought-after Outstanding Comedy Series Award. FX’s The Assassination of Gianni Versace: American Crime Story nabbed Outstanding Limited Series. Claire Foy clinched Outstanding Lead Actress in a Drama Series for her work in The Crown and Matthew Rhys landed Outstanding Lead Actor in a Drama Series for his work inThe Americans.
ADDITIONAL HIGHLIGHTS:
Henry Winkler, 72, gave social media all the feels when he won an Emmy for Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series in Barry. It was, he noted, his first-ever Emmy, following three previous nominations in the 70s for his role in Happy Days. Winkler closed his brief thank you with a shout-out to his son, Max, and daughter Zoe — yelling triumphantly: “You can go to bed now, daddy won!”
Amy Sherman Palladino’s trademark fast-paced and eccentric but delightful patter was on display during back-to-back acceptance speeches when she won writing and directing awards for The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.
Merritt Wever gave an awkward but adorable acceptance speech after winning the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series for Netflix’s Godless. The visibly flustered star appeared to taken completely by surprise by the honor and after struggling to read from the crumpled up note she was clutching, she thanked the Academy profusely and left the stage, saying she’d thank people in private.
Betty White, 96, saying ‘Oh my goodness’ about 1,000 times as she soaked in and reflected nothing but 100% sunbeams of love from the Academy. Over her career, White has been nominated 24 times and won 8 Emmys.
Regina King’s pure, unadulterated shock and delight at winning an Emmy for her role in Seven Seconds.
Che presented the tongue-in-cheek “Reparation Emmys” to black actors, including Tichina Arnold, Marla Gibbs and John Witherspoon, whom he felt got looked over by a racist Academy.
Glenn Weiss stole the show during his acceptance speech for Outstanding Directing For a Variety Special… and turned the thank you into a proposal. He said: “You wonder why I don’t call you my girlfriend? it’s because I want to call you my wife.” Needless to say, she joined him on stage and accepted.
The 2018 In Memoriam tribute was jam-packed with phenomenal talent this year. “Tonight, we celebrate the lives of some people who have been our very good friends,” Tina Fey said as she introduced the segment which honored Anthony Bourdain, Burt Reynolds, Aretha Franklin, John McCain, Hugh Hefner, John McCain and many others.
Claire Foy won Outstanding Actress in a Drama Series and acknowledged “this wasn’t supposed to happen.” Many hoped that Sandra Oh, nominated in the category for her work on Killing Eve, would clinch the award and make her the first woman of Asian descent to win a Best Actress Emmy.

Box Office Recap – 09/17/2018
‘PREDATOR’ TAKES BOX OFFICE – (09/17/2018)
Predator is devouring its rivals at the box office. 20thCentury Fox reports the film earned $24 million to land at the top spot; but its high production costs ($88 million) may not have the studio doing cartwheels.
The Shane Black-helmed film will reportedly be looking to international markets to balance the books. This weekend, Predator nabbed $30.7 million in 72 foreign markets. Domestic audiences were primarily male (62%) and white (45%). The underwhelming C+ CinemaScore reflected the ambivalent critical response.
Second place went to The Nun, which earned $18.2 million in its second weekend out. To date, the Conjuring spinoff has nabbed $85 million.
Lionsgate’s A Simple Favor, starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, closed out the top three with $16.1 million.

Senate Votes To Overturn Gov. Sununu’s Veto Of Biomass And Net-Metering Bills
CONCORD, NH – The New Hampshire Senate has voted to override Governor Chris Sununu’s vetoes of two energy bills. SB 365 and SB446 were vetoed by the Governor in June, with the governor citing that the two bills would put too much of a burden on rate and taxpayers costing them $100 million over three years.
SB 365 was championed by Wolfeboro’s own Jeb Bradley and would give a three year subsidy to six biomass plants in New Hampshire, including Pinetree Power in Tamworth.
SB466 would increase the net-metering cap from one megawatt to five megawatts.
The energy bills have garnered the most attention, with dozens of farmers, loggers and environmentalists protesting in front of the statehouse and signing petitions urging lawmakers to overturn the veto.
Senators voted 21-3 easily getting the two thirds majority needed to overturn the vetoes.
However in the house SB365 squeaked by passing by a single vote with a total vote of 226-113 exactly two-thirds of the majority.
SB 446 did not pass, though it received a majority of 213 to 128, that was not enough to meet the two-thirds requirement in order to override a veto.
Senate Minority Leader Donna Soucy (D-Manchester, District 18) said “Time and again, Governor Sununu has failed to sit down with lawmakers to craft legislation that best serves the people of our state, instead relying on his veto pen after the legislative process has concluded. It is unfortunate that, in vetoing SB 365, the Governor listened more to the fossil fuel industry than he did to the 900 biomass workers whose hard work generates more than $254 million annually for New Hampshire’s economy.”
When he originally vetoed the bills the Governor said that the two bills would cost ratepayers approximately $100 million combined over the next three years in higher electricity costs, placing a burden on the elderly, those on fixed incomes, and on businesses.
Sununu said SB 365 would not guarantee the solvency of the six biomass plants in the state and would only generate 3.5% impact on the revenue of wood suppliers of those facilities.
He said SB 446 would just be a handout to large-scale solar energy developers.
