Here's how ‘The Studio' scored a record 23 Emmy nominations
As predicted by Gold Derby, the series was nominated for Best Comedy Series, where it has long been a front-runner. It will compete for the title alongside Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Hacks, Nobody Wants This, Only Murders in the Building, Shrinking, and What We Do in the Shadows.

'Andor' scored 14 Emmy nominations, but missed 1 major category
Multihyphenate Seth Rogen earned his first lead actor in a comedy nomination; he was previously nominated for supporting actor for Hulu's Pam & Tommy. He was also nominated for writing and directing for his work on The Studio. This brings his Emmy nomination total to eight over the course of his career; he was previously nominated for his producing work on Pam & Tommy as well as Prime VIdeo's The Boys.
Yes, Sal Saperstein can get to say thank you — Ike Barinholtz can count himself among this year's first-time Emmy nominees for his hilarious turn as the obsequious studio executive. The category includes returning champion The Bear star Ebon Moss-Bachrach, Colman Domingo (The Four Seasons), Harrison Ford and Michael Urie (both from Shrinking), Jeff Hiller (Somebody Somewhere), and Bowen Yang (Saturday Night Live).
Emmys darling Catherine O'Hara added to her collection; the Schitt's Creek star now has 10 total nominations, along with two wins (she's also nominated this year for her guest turn on The Last of Us). Also nommed is her costar Kathryn Hahn, who played the label-obsessed head of marketing. They'll vie for the title against Liza Colón-Zayas (The Bear), Hannah Einbinder (Hacks), Janelle James and Sheryl Lee Ralph (both from Abbott Elementary), and Jessica Williams (Abbott Elementary).
As expected, the show overdelivered with guest acting nominations, given the stellar cameos — it nearly swept the category. Bryan Cranston, Dave Franco, Ron Howard, Anthony Mackie, and Martin Scorsese are all on the ballot — their non-Studio competition is The Bear's Jon Bernthal.
Zoë Kravitz made the cut for her drug-addled turn on The Studio, making it a total of 10 actors from the cast, which was nominated in every eligible category (no one was submitted for lead actress). She'll compete against The Bear's stars Olivia Colman and Jamie Lee Curtis, Hacks' Robby Hoffman and Julianne Nicholson, and Poker Face's Cynthia Erivo.
Rogen was also nominated for writing and directing, alongside cocreator Evan Goldberg, for standout episodes "The Promotion" (writing) and "The Oner" (directing). Playing it safe — and strategic — The Studio had submitted just one episode for writing, penned by Rogen, Goldberg, Peter Huyck, Alex Gregory, and Frida Perez, and just one for directing.
Television Academy voters also overwhelmingly endorsed the intentionally retro look and feel of the show, awarding it with a sweep of below-the-line nominations as well, with nods for production design, cinematography, casting, costumes, hairstyling, music composition, music supervision, sound editing, and sound mixing.

‘Washington Black,' Plus 7 Things to Watch on TV This Week
Between streaming and cable, there is a seemingly endless variety of things to watch. Here is a selection of TV shows and specials that are airing or streaming this week, July 21-27. Details and times are subject to change. A true-crime safari and life in an emergency room. In September 2016, Bianca and Larry Rudolph, who were both big game hunters, went to Zambia hoping to hunt a leopard. On the morning of Oct. 11, when the couple were supposed to leave their hunting camp, Bianca was shot in the chest with a gun. The new three-part documentary series 'Trophy Wife: Murder on Safari,' examines the events leading up to her death and the trial, which found Larry guilty of murder and mail fraud; he was sentenced to life in prison. The documentary features interviews from prison with Larry, who has maintained his innocence. Streaming Monday on Hulu. 'The Pitt,' the HBO drama following doctors in a Pittsburgh hospital emergency room, just received 13 Emmy nominations, but the new documentary series 'Critical: Between Life and Death' is a real look at one of London's emergency departments. The city's Major Trauma System treats 12,000 patients with the most critical of injuries each year, and the show follows doctors as they decide how best to treat their patients and the journeys of those receiving medical care. Streaming Wednesday on Netflix. Two novel adaptations, one modern, the other historical. A novel by May Cobb — 'The Hunting Wives' — is getting a screen adaptation. In the show, Sophie (Brittany Snow) leaves her big city life and job in Chicago to move to East Texas with her husband and son. While there, she meets Margo Banks (Malin Akerman), a member of the titular hunting wives who party hard and spend their nights doing target practice. When a body is discovered near where the clique hangs out, Sophie is suddenly part of a murder investigation. Streaming Monday on Netflix. Want all of The Times? Subscribe.

What to Stream: Madonna, 'Happy Gilmore 2,' Judge Judy and Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd team up
Adam Sandler's hockey player-turned-golfer Happy Gilmore returning for a second movie and Madonna's long-rumored album 'Veronica Electronica' are some of the new television, films, music and games headed to a device near you. Also among the streaming offerings worth your time, as selected by The Associated Press' entertainment journalists: Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd playing father and daughter in the horror-comedy 'Death of a Unicorn,' gamers get a pirate adventure with Wuchang: Fallen Feathers and Judge Judy rules on true crime in her new series for Prime Video, 'Justice on Trial.' New movies to stream from July 21-27 — It's been almost 30 years since we first met Adam Sandler's hockey player-turned-golfer Happy Gilmore, but Sandler finally got the gang back together for a sequel. 'Happy Gilmore 2,' coming to Netflix on Friday, July 25, brings back many familiar faces, including Julie Bowen, Ben Stiller and Christopher McDonald as Shooter McGavin, alongside an army of new co-stars from Bad Bunny to Post Malone as well as a few familiar faces in the golf world. This time around, Happy also has kids, including four hockey goon sons played by Ethan Cutkosky ('Shameless'), Conor Sherry ('Shake Shack'), Maxwell Jacob Friedman (a pro wrestler) and newcomer Philip Schneider. Here's hoping it's as quotable as the first — we've been needing some new Sandlerisms. — November, and 'Wicked: For Good,' is coming fast. What better time to catch up with 'Wicked,' which begins streaming on Prime Video on Friday, July 25? In her review for The Associated Press, Jocelyn Noveck wrote that it might convert a non-musical lover into one, but that, 'if people breaking into song delights rather than flummoxes you, if elaborate dance numbers in village squares and fantastical nightclubs and emerald-hued cities make perfect sense to you, and especially if you already love 'Wicked,' well then, you will likely love this film.' — Jenna Ortega and Paul Rudd play father and daughter in the horror-comedy 'Death of a Unicorn,' about, well, just that (and also exploitative billionaires). It was met with mixed reviews: Some enjoyed the chemistry of the characters and the fun it has with its outlandish plot, while others saw those efforts as strained and hollow. You can decide for yourself when it hits HBO Max on Friday, July 25. Richard E. Grant and Will Poulter also star. — AP Film Writer Lindsey Bahr New music to stream from July 21-27 — It is the stuff of pop music mythology. Madonna's long-rumored album 'Veronica Electronica' — originally conceived as a remix companion to 1998's blockbuster 'Ray of Light' — finally arrives Friday, July 25. It is that and more. Begin with the new-to-fans, original demo of 'Gone, Gone, Gone.' — The second and final part of an expansive documentary series on the life and career of Billy Joel hits HBO Max on Friday, July 25. And it's not too late to catch up on the first half of 'Billy Joel: And So It Goes,' either. It's an in-depth look at the beloved singer-songwriter, replete with never-before-seen performance footage and more. — Rock 'n' roll fans, listen up. On Friday, July 25, the original Alice Cooper band lineup reunites to release 'The Revenge Of Alice Cooper,' the first album in over 50 years to feature that original lineup. It gives the album a sort of revived spirit — all high-octane riffs. — AP Music Writer Maria Sherman New series to stream from July 21-27 — Judy Sheindlin, beloved for her syndicated series 'Judge Judy' that ended production in 2021 after 25 years, rules on true crime in her new series for Prime Video. In 'Justice on Trial,' actual criminal court cases are recreated by trial lawyers with Sheindlin presiding over the courtroom. Will she find the right decision was made? Find out Monday when all eight episodes drop. — Malin Akerman and Brittany Snow star in 'The Hunting Wives' for Netflix. It's based on a thriller mystery novel by May Cobb. Snow plays Sophie, a woman whose husband's job requires trading the East Coast for east Texas. She's a fish out of water until she meets Margot (Akerman,) the queen bee of a group of women known as the Hunting Wives. These wives aren't trading recipes or having tea — they like to party. Sophie finds Margot's carefree lifestyle and confidence to be intoxicating until she gets caught up in a murder investigation. All eight episodes drop Monday. — A new Hulu miniseries called 'Washington Black' is also based on a book of the same name, but this one was shortlisted for the Booker Prize in 2018. Set in the early 1800s, Wash — short for George Washington Black — is born into slavery in Barbados. Wash's talent for art and curiosity catches the attention of a scientist named Titch (played by Tom Ellis), who encourages his education and creativity. When danger strikes, Titch and Wash escape in a hot-air balloon that lands in Nova Scotia. The series follows Wash's adventures as he grows into a man played by newcomer Ernest Kingsley Jr. Sterling K. Brown is an executive producer and also has a role in the show. Stream the episodes beginning Wednesday. — An acclaimed British crime drama called 'Code of Silence' comes to BritBox on Thursday. Rose Ayling-Ellis plays a deaf cafeteria worker who begins working with the local police because of her ability to read lips. This new world is exhilarating but also dangerous. The show has already been renewed for a second season. — Alicia Rancilio New video games to play from July 21-27 — Last year's Black Myth: Wukong turned Chinese folklore into a blockbuster game, and another Chinese studio is hoping to repeat that success with Wuchang: Fallen Feathers. It tells the tale of a pirate who wakes up with amnesia and a bad case of 'feathering' — not only is she sprouting blue plumage, but it's driving her insane. The adventure takes place during the end of the Ming Dynasty in the 1600s, and Chengdu-based developer Leenzee Games promises a mix of historical figures and supernatural monsters. Take flight Thursday, on PlayStation 5, Xbox X/S or PC. — Lou Kesten
