Beyoncé wins her first Emmy ahead of Primetime ceremony next month
It's official: Beyoncé is now an Emmy winner. Queen B was listed as one of a half dozen people on a team that won the Emmy for Best Costumes for Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Programming for 'Beyoncé Bowl', her Western-themed halftime show on Netflix's Christmas NFL game between the Baltimore Ravens and Houston Texans. The award was among a handful of so-called juried Emmys announced yesterday that are determined outside the regular voting process and given out by committees, with no official nominees. They are usually highly technical and are announced in advance. The awards will be handed out at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony which will take place on 7 September - one week before the 2025 Primetime Emmys. Beyoncé has been nominated for 10 other Emmys in the past but never won - making this special Emmy her first. Now, the singer is halfway to an EGOT (Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) as she already has 35 Grammys. All she needs now is an Oscar and a Tony to complete the quartet. The Primetime Emmy nominations were announced last month – check out the full list of nominees here – and below are all of the 2025 juried Emmy winners, as announced yesterday: Best Individual Achievement in Animation Best Motion Design Best Innovation in Emerging Media Programming Best Costumes for Variety, Nonfiction or Reality Programming The 2025 Emmys will be handed out on 7 September at the Creative Arts ceremony; the Primetime Emmys will take place on 14 September.

Fans flock to Finland to celebrate as Moomins turn 80
80 years on, the Moomins are still going strong. Finland's most beloved literary family, the Moomins, mark their milestone birthday this year with a joyful celebration in Tampere, home to the world's only Moomin Museum. The white, hippo-like characters created by Tove Jansson have been winning hearts since 1945, when "The Moomins and the Great Flood" first introduced readers to the curious little Moomintroll and his doting Moominmamma. Eight books, multiple TV shows, two theme parks and countless mugs later, the fandom is going strong. For Rosa Senn, who travelled from the UK with her wife Lizzie, the celebrations last weekend were more than just a fan pilgrimage – it was a full-circle moment. 'Moomins have been such a special thing in my life, my whole life,' Senn said, recalling how her Norwegian mother read the books to her as a child. When she and Lizzie spent the first year and a half of their relationship long-distance, a Moomintroll plush helped bridge the miles – and even made it into their wedding as ringbearer. Their Instagram account documenting Moomin adventures has even made them minor celebrities in the fandom, connecting them with other enthusiasts – like Stefanie and Michael Geutebrück, a couple from Germany whose apartment, according to Stefanie, 'looks like a Moomin shop'. And they're not alone. Moomin merchandise is big business, from mugs and plush toys to stationery and limited-edition collectibles. 'The Moomin mug is one of the best-known collector items worldwide,' said Selma Green, director of the Moomin Museum. But behind the fuzzy nostalgia lies a deeper story... Tove Jansson, who created the characters in the aftermath of World War II, wove in themes of love, resilience, and the search for safety. The first book was published as Finland emerged from wartime trauma, and Jansson used the Moomins to offer comfort – without shying away from darker undertones. 'Her first Moomin book came out in a dark era. She felt it was very difficult to paint, and she started writing what she called a fairy tale,' said Sirke Happonen, a Moomins scholar and associate professor at the University of Helsinki. 'I think she wanted to make a contrast – Tove Jansson loved contrasts – by writing about this beautiful world, full of friendship and love." Jansson's own life also made its way into the stories. Her long-time partner, artist Tuulikki Pietilä, was immortalised as the practical, no-nonsense character Too-ticky. Queer themes and fluid gender roles quietly infuse Moominvalley, making it a quietly radical world wrapped in whimsy. That world, however, has faced modern scrutiny. Debate was stirred this summer when it emerged that the character Stinky – a mischievous, fuzzy creature – was temporarily removed from a New York library mural over concerns it might be interpreted as racist. 'To me, this became quite a big surprise,' said Happonen. 'I have more thought about Stinky being close to a mole or a vole.' Still, fans are undeterred. As the Moomins hit 80, the sense of community around them feels stronger than ever.

Harry and Meghan extend Netflix deal amid plans for new content
Prince Harry and Meghan Markle have renewed their partnership with Netflix in a fresh multi-year deal, continuing their collaboration through Archewell Productions. The couple say the agreement reflects their mission to create 'thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally.' The Duke and Duchess of Sussex confirmed the extension on Monday (11 August), with Netflix gaining first-look rights on upcoming projects. The renewed deal includes the return of "With Love, Meghan", a lifestyle and cooking series starring the Duchess of Sussex, as well as a new documentary short Masaka Kids, A Rhythm Within, which centres on an orphanage in Uganda. 'My husband and I feel inspired by our partners who work closely with us and our Archewell Productions team to create thoughtful content across genres that resonates globally, and celebrates our shared vision,' Meghan said in a statement. Also on the slate is Meet Me at the Lake, a feature adaptation of Carley Fortune's romantic novel about a decade-spanning love story sparked by a chance encounter. A post shared by Meghan, Duchess of Sussex (@meghan) This latest agreement is a continuation of Harry and Meghan's post-royal streaming ventures, which began with a widely publicised Netflix partnership in 2020 – reported at the time to be worth around $100 million (€86.2 million). Previous Archewell-produced projects for the streaming platform include the docuseries Harry & Meghan, Heart of Invictus, Live to Lead, and Polo. Bela Bajaria, Netflix's chief content officer, praised the couple's storytelling efforts: 'Harry and Meghan are influential voices whose stories resonate with audiences everywhere. The response to their work speaks for itself.' But not all of that response has been glowing. While Harry & Meghan performed strongly with 23.4 million viewers following its 2022 debut, "With Love, Meghan" has had a rockier journey. Despite being billed by Netflix as its most-watched culinary show this year, it pulled in just 5.3 million views – placing it outside the platform's top 300 most-viewed shows in the first half of 2025. Critics did not hold back. Reviews of the first series called the show 'out of touch', and its polished, curated aesthetic drew ridicule across social media platforms. Memes and TikToks poked fun at the former actress's on-screen persona, with some viewers calling the series overly staged. Still, Netflix is backing a second season – set to air later this month – as well as a holiday special in December, inviting audiences to 'join Meghan in Montecito for a magical holiday celebration.' The series is also linked to her lifestyle brand, As Ever, which includes products like rosé wine and jams.
