‘The Penguin' Emmy submissions: Colin Farrell aims to complete his awards sweep after Golden Globe, Critics Choice, SAG victories
HBO will submit four cast members from The Penguin for Emmy consideration, Gold Derby has confirmed.
Colin Farrell as Oswald "Oz" Cobb, aka the Penguin, is entering the Best Movie/Limited Series Actor category, as expected. Earlier this awards season, the Irish actor prevailed at the Golden Globes, Critics Choice, and Screen Actors Guild Awards for playing the villainous DC Comics character. A victory at the Emmys would complete his sweep of top awards. A former Oscar nominee for The Banshees of Inisherin (2022), this would be his first career Emmy bid.

Cristin Milioti as Sofia Gigante (née Falcone) is being submitted for Best Movie/Limited Series Actress. She won the Critics Choice Award for this role, but lost at the Golden Globes to Jodie Foster (True Detective: Night Country) and at the SAG Awards to Jessica Gunning (Baby Reindeer). Milioti could receive her first two career Emmy noms this year, for The Penguin in the lead race and Black Mirror 's "USS Callister: Into Infinity" in the supporting contest.
Rhenzy Feliz as Victor "Vic" Aguilar will compete in Best Movie/Limited Series Supporting Actor. The breakout 27-year-old plays a teenager who becomes Oz's driver and personal enforcer. Feliz is also known for voicing Camilo in the film Encanto (2021) and for playing Alex in the TV show Runaways (2017-19).
And Deirdre O'Connell as Francis Cobb will be eligible in Best Movie/Limited Series Supporting Actress. For her role as Oz's ailing mother, who suffers from Parkinson's and Lewy body dementia, the character actress recently nabbed a Critics Choice Awards bid, losing to Gunning. O'Connell can next be seen in Eddington, the star-studded film from Ari Aster, which just premiered at Cannes.
While these are the only four actors HBO is officially submitting for consideration, anyone can submit themselves for Emmy recognition. Other recognizable cast members on the project include Shohreh Aghdashloo as Nadia Maroni, Clancy Brown as Salvatore "Sal" Maroni, Carmen Ejogo as Eve Karlo, Michael Kelly as Johnny Viti, Theo Rossi as Dr. Julian Rush, Mark Strong as Carmine Falcone, and Michael Zegen as Alberto Falcone.
Farrell and Milioti are both leading their respective categories, per the current Gold Derby odds, with O'Connell in second and Feliz in third. The Penguin ranks No. 2 behind Netflix's hit Adolescence in Best Limited Series.
Additional categories in which The Penguin is being submitted include Best Limited/Movie Writing (Lauren LeFranc), and Best Limited/Movie Directing (Craig Zobel, Helen Shaver, Kevin Bray, Jennifer Getzinger). It'll also be entering below-the-line races like Casting, Cinematography, Picture Editing, Production Design, Contemporary Hairstyling, Contemporary Makeup, Prosthetic Makeup, Music Composition, Music Supervision, Sound Editing, Sound Mixing, Visual Effects, Stunt Coordination, Stunt Performance, and Main Title Design.

A Minecraft Movie is coming exclusively to HBO Max on June 20
Don't throw all your popcorn at the screen, but A Minecraft Movie begins streaming exclusively on HBO Max (which used to be Max, which used to be HBO Max) on June 20. The big studio adaptation of the best-selling video game of all time was something of a surprise hit for those unfamiliar with the game's mammoth audience. Movie adaptations of video games can be really hit or miss. The Super Mario Bros. Movie set the box office record for the highest-grossing video game movie of all time and was a fun, if safe, movie . On the other end of that spectrum is Borderlands , which was a massive letdown and a box-office failure. With that spotty track record, we were pleasantly surprised when A Minecraft Movie turned out to be… pretty good, actually. To view this content, you'll need to update your privacy settings. Please click here and view the "Content and social-media partners" setting to do so. The movie stars Jack Black as Steve, the original player character from the video game, who ends up transported into the voxel world of Minecraft, while Jason Momoa stars as an egomaniacal former gaming superstar. The movie will also debut on the HBO linear cable channel on Saturday, June 21, at 8PM ET.

Air safety is no joke — real lessons from Nathan Fielder's ‘The Rehearsal'
It's fair to say that 'The Rehearsal' is not the aviation safety documentary I thought we were making. I have consulted on or participated in scores of aviation disaster and safety videos, all with a pretty consistent documentary style that I'm sure readers are familiar with. That's the type of documentary I assumed HBO was making when I was first approached about the show. In retrospect, it's clear that I should have asked the producers more questions in the beginning, to understand better what the show was about. (And for sure I will in the future.) But in this case, I'm glad that I didn't. It might have made me less willing to participate, and that would have been a missed opportunity to pursue a fresh approach to a longstanding safety problem. Aircraft cockpit communication, the impetus for this season's show, is what initially hooked me on participating — specifically, the authority gradient that made co-pilots reluctant to speak up when they believed their captains were making a mistake, even when those mistakes could prove to be catastrophic. While the Federal Aviation Administration and the industry had taken numerous steps to combat this problem, lecturing co-pilots to speak more assertively and captains to listen more attentively, the National Transportation Safety Board determined more than a decade ago that these actions were just not enough. Its investigation of a 2009 cargo flight found that a contributing factor in the crash was the co-pilot's failure to assert herself when she recognized that a go-around was necessary because of the unstabilized nature of the approach. The captain failed to go-around and the aircraft crashed. The lecture-based, assertiveness training she had received was just not enough, according to the NTSB's findings. The NTSB concluded that 'role-playing exercises are essential for effective assertiveness training because such exercises provide flight crews with opportunities for targeted practice of specific behaviors and feedback that a lecture-based presentation format lacks.' It therefore recommended — as referenced in Episode 1 of 'The Rehearsal' — that the FAA require role-playing to 'teach first officers to assertively voice their concerns and teach captains to develop a leadership style that supports first officer assertiveness.' The FAA never implemented the NTSB's recommendation. I believe the recommendation continues to have merit and its implementation could have made a difference in at least one recent crash where communication issues in the cockpit may have contributed to the accident. But even if Congress and the FAA ultimately take no formal action — which would be a missed opportunity, in my opinion — the show on its own has raised awareness among pilots and those who train pilots. The reactions I have received from aviation professionals working on cockpit communication issues have been overwhelmingly positive. They all know that while much has been done on this issue over the decades, the hierarchical nature of the captain–copilot relationship is a difficult one to overcome, especially in emergency situations where speaking up can look a lot like questioning or undermining the captain's authority. New approaches are needed, and many of the professionals I've spoken with are looking forward to using the show as a catalyst for improvements, especially with the younger demographic that the show resonates with. I, myself, plan to incorporate the show into my aviation safety course that I co-teach at Vaughn College of Aeronautics and Technology in New York City. Most of my students are future pilots and air traffic controllers, and getting the conversation started early on these issues is important. So, Although I was surprised (to say the least) by the actual episodes of 'The Rehearsal' when they aired, the conversation sparked by Nathan Fielder's show on two critical safety topics — communications in the cockpit and the ability of pilots to raise mental health issues without fear of losing their licenses — is beyond my wildest safety dreams. I'm hopeful from these reactions that the show's message will resonate in the halls of Congress, the FAA and aviation entities large and small. And I am hopeful that it will spur a fresh look at these issues and lead to lasting changes.

Will People Care About the ‘Minecraft' Chicken Jockey From the Comfort of Their Homes?
A Minecraft Movie already had a towering built-in fan base thanks to its source material being the best-selling video game of all time. But few could have predicted that the movie—a goofy comedy starring Jack Black and Jason Momoa as human characters who get pulled into the chaotic cubic world—would become a Rocky Horror-style interactive sensation, with wild antics in theaters going viral almost overnight. Director Jared Hess found the 'chicken jockey' frenzy to be hilarious; star Black took a somewhat more measured tone. But theaters knew anything that puts butts in seats is a good thing, and promoted 'Block Party Edition' screenings especially for fans who wanted to sing and scream and meme along. Now the chance to view A Minecraft Movie on streaming—whether you want to embrace the madness (please, no live barnyard animals!) or simply watch one of the year's biggest surprise hits in peace—is nearly here. It hits Max June 20, and HBO linear on June 21. Max will also feature a version of A Minecraft Movie with an American Sign Language, further expanding the movie's potential reach. Here's the official synopsis for anyone who doesn't have an instant visceral reaction to the line 'I… am Steve!': 'Welcome to the world of Minecraft, where creativity doesn't just help you craft, it's essential to one's survival! Four misfits—Garrett 'The Garbage Man' Garrison (Jason Momoa), Henry (Sebastian Hansen), Natalie (Emma Myers), and Dawn (Danielle Brooks)—find themselves struggling with ordinary problems when they are suddenly pulled through a mysterious portal into the Overworld: a bizarre, cubic wonderland that thrives on imagination. To get back home, they'll have to master this world (and protect it from evil things like Piglins and Zombies, too) while embarking on a magical quest with an unexpected, expert crafter, Steve (Jack Black). Together, their adventure will challenge all five to be bold and to reconnect with the qualities that make each of them uniquely creative…the very skills they need to thrive back in the real world.' A sequel to A Minecraft Movie has not yet been officially announced, but given the first film's success—and Hess' enthusiasm about returning; in April, he told Deadline that 'it seems like there's already talk about [a sequel] happening, so I'm super excited. It'll be so much fun to go back into the world'—makes it seem very likely. Will you stream A Minecraft Movie at home, and if so… how crazy are you going to get while watching it?
