‘The Last of Us' Season 2 Just Scored a Bunch of Emmy Nominations
HBO's post-apocalyptic drama earned 16 Emmy nominations on Tuesday morning. While that's fewer than the first season's 24 noms, it still represents a terrific haul.

Perhaps the most interesting nomination is that Pedro Pascal was nominated for best actor. While Pascal's performance was widely praised, his character Joel had very limited screen time, appearing in only three of the season's seven episodes. The nomination is similar to Brian Cox's nomination for the final season of HBO's Succession, where his character was killed off in the season's third episode.
Star Bella Ramsey was nominated for best actress for their portrayal of Ellie for the second season in a row. Plus, the show was also nominated for best drama.
Several other actors scored Emmy guest actor noms: Joe Pantoliano as Eugene, Jeffrey Wright as Isaac, Kaitlyn Dever as Abby and Catherine O'Hara as Gail.
The other Emmy nominations for The Last of Us include best production design, casting, picture editing, contemporary makeup, prosthetic makeup, music supervision, nonfiction short (for a making-of documentary), sound editing, sound mixing and special visual effects.
Some snubs include Isabela Merced's performance as Gina, the writing categories and the directing categories (particularly Mark Mylod, who helmed the season's second episode, 'Through the Valley,' which was the episode submitted for four of the received nominations).
Here's a list of nominations in key categories for the 77th annual Emmy Awards.

FCC OKs $8B Paramount—Skydance Deal, Says It Ensures ‘Diversity of Viewpoints' at CBS
The Federal Communications Commission has approved the $8 billion merger of Paramount Global (PARA) and Skydance Media, claiming 'significant changes,' are coming to the CBS owner. 'Americans no longer trust the legacy national news media to report fully, accurately, and fairly. It is time for a change,' FCC Chairman Brendan Carr said. "That is why I welcome Skydance's commitment to make significant changes at the once storied CBS broadcast network.' Carr said Skydance has committed to ensuring New Paramount programming "embodies a diversity of viewpoints from across the political and ideological spectrum.' That commitment includes working with an ombudsman whose job it is to evaluate complaints of media bias. Paramount's politics have been in focus after the company in May agreed to pay President Donald Trump $16 million to settle a lawsuit over a CBS interview with former Vice President Kamala Harris. Trump's lawsuit alleged that CBS News had 'deceitfully edited a '60 Minutes' interview with the Democratic presidential candidate to make her sound better,' according to reports. Paramount recently announced the cancellation of 'The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,' which has included jokes criticizing Trump as a fixture of its material. Paramount called the move 'a financial decision against a challenging backdrop in late night.' Skydance Founder and Son of Oracle's Larry Ellison Will Lead New Paramount Paramount and Skydance agreed to merge in June after months of negotiations. As part of the deal, Skydance and its private equity backer will pay $2.4 billion to buy National Amusements, the holding company owned by Shari Redstone that controls about 77% of Paramount's voting share. The companies will pay $4.5 billion to Paramount shareholders and another $1.5 billion will go toward Paramount's balance sheet. David Ellison, founder of Skydance and son of Oracle (ORCL) co-founder Larry Ellison, will take over as CEO of New Paramount after the media conglomerate's previous chief executive, Bob Bakish, left earlier this year, with a three-person "office of the CEO" taking his place. Shares of Paramount rose slightly in early trading Friday. The stock is up more than 25% for 2025. Read the original article on Investopedia

Cardi B sued by fan for assault, battery after viral 2023 microphone-throwing incident
Two years after Cardi B was accused of assaulting a fan with a microphone during a live performance, the rapper is reportedly facing legal repercussions for the viral incident. The concertgoer, a woman from Cleveland, Ohio, filed a lawsuit alleging assault, battery and negligence against the Grammy-winning rapper on Monday, July 21, according to Rolling Stone and Billboard. The woman's attorney, Cierra N. Norris, confirmed the litigation in a July 24 press conference. "It is quite the feat to take on someone that is known and loved like Cardi B," Norris told news cameras. "Thank God we are not in a court of public opinion, but we are in a court of law." In an Instagram post, also confirming her client's complaint, Norris wrote: "No one should be afraid to hold someone accountable just because they are famous," adding that the woman is going by the pseudonym Jane Doe because she is "suffering from mental health issues as a result of the incident" and wants to avoid "potential backlash." Drai's Management Group, LLC, the owner of the Las Vegas venue where Cardi's performance took place, is also being sued for its alleged failure "to intervene or de-escalate the incident," Billboard reported. USA TODAY has reached out to Norris and representatives for Cardi B and Drai's Management Group for comment. In July 2023, Cardi B made social media headlines after footage from her performance at Drai's Beachclub showed her throwing her microphone at an attendee. In the video, which racked up over 100 million views to date, Cardi retaliated when a concertgoer standing at the edge of the stage tossed the contents of a large white cup, splashing her face and soaking her orange swimsuit cover-up as she performed her breakthrough hit "Bodak Yellow." Norris, however, offered a different version of events, saying during the press conference that Cardi had asked fans to slosh their drinks, and that simply because she had reached her limit does not excuse the "assault" and "battery" the fan endured. Cardi B fan reports battery after rapper threw microphone at her in Vegas In videos, the rapper is seen subsequently berating the individual as security retrieved her microphone and appeared to remove the fan. Cardi later reposted another video of the incident shared by a fan account. After the jarring encounter, the unidentified fan filed a police report for battery. No arrests or citations were issued, according to the Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department. Norris, noting that the lawsuit is being filed years after the incident, said a friend of the fan had contacted her while she was still in Las Vegas, and that she had been the woman's lawyer since then. They wanted to due the litigation right, rather than capitalize on a "15 minutes" of fame, Norris argued. Cardi B's attorney criticizes Jane Doe lawsuit as 'financial shakedown' Doe claims Cardi B encouraged "light splashing from drinks" during her performance at Drai's Beachclub, according to Rolling Stone and Billboard. Additional social media footage shared at the time of Cardi's performance showed the rapper seemingly welcoming getting splashed by fans. "Give me water," Cardi said in one clip, after which fans splashed her backside. It's unclear whether the footage was taken before or after the face-splashing incident. The woman, "acting in accordance with the environment created by Cardi B's express words and conduct, and in a manner consistent with other attendees, splashed a small portion of her drink in Cardi B's direction," the lawsuit stated, per Rolling Stone and Billboard. "In apparent anger and without warning, Cardi B suddenly and forcefully threw her microphone directly at (Doe)." Cardi B's microphone from viral video placed in auction for $100K The aggrieved concertgoer said the incident caused her "severe emotional distress, shock, humiliation and physical injury," Rolling Stone reported. Additionally, Doe said the sale of Cardi B's microphone in an auction for nearly $100K "further publicized the incident and exacerbated (her) emotional distress." "Fame is not a license to harm," Norris said. "Just because Cardi B is one of the most loved entertainers in the world does not mean that she is free from accountability." In a statement to Billboard addressing the lawsuit, Cardi B's attorney Drew Findling slammed the woman's complaint as a "transparent and pitiful attempted financial shakedown." "The Las Vegas Metropolitan Police Department and the Clark County District Attorney's Office closed this matter for insufficient evidence a long time ago," Findling told the news outlet. "But apparently the opportunity to try to make money off of a celebrity was too much for some willing law firm to pass up."
