YouTube is going to new lengths to nab an Emmy
From " Beast Games" to "Paul American" to Ms. Rachel, Hollywood wants a piece of YouTube. But the video giant, which stopped making its own original content in 2022, isn't sitting idly by while streamers like Amazon Prime, HBO Max, and Netflix court its creators. Behind the scenes, the company is working to elevate its native content within Hollywood and prove its creators are worthy of the industry's highest honors. One key component is YouTube's Emmys push. A creator has never won a Primetime Emmy — TV's most prestigious award — in a main, televised category for their show, a YouTube spokesperson said. While creators have nabbed nominations and wins in the past, the company is pulling out all the PR and marketing stops for a different outcome. In addition to the cultural cache, a win could sway more ad budgets reserved for premium TV in YouTube's direction, as The Wall Street Journal reported. For the first time this year, YouTube hosted a "For Your Consideration" event in Los Angeles, escalating its efforts to nab an Emmy for its creators. It's not alone; earlier this month, Amazon pushed YouTube's most popular creator, MrBeast, for Emmy consideration at its own FYC event. These events convene awards voters — in this case, members of the Television Academy — to screen content and introduce them to prospective nominees. Emmy nominations are set to be announced on July 15. This year, YouTube is backing three creators who self-submitted for Primetime nominations, including Sean Evans' "Hot Ones" in the Outstanding Talk Series category; Rhett and Link's "Good Mythical Morning" for Outstanding Short Form Comedy, Drama or Variety Series; and Michelle Khare's "Challenge Accepted" for Outstanding Hosted Nonfiction Series or Special. YouTube's event, held on Sunday, featured screenings and conversations with each of the creators. There were also themed food trucks — such as the "be your mythical best" bean burger and "Challenge Accepted" fuel bowls — and recreations of each creator's sets for guests to take photos at and tag on social media. YouTube does not fund individual creators' Emmy submissions or FYC campaigns in their entirety, a spokesperson told Business Insider. It's providing PR and marketing support, as it did last year. In addition to the event, this support includes drumming up press for the shows, and running billboards timed to the Upfronts and Cannes Lions advertising events, as well as across Los Angeles this summer. A win for the creator economy at large Khare, who has 5 million YouTube subscribers, told BI she isn't sure whether her series "Challenge Accepted" would have been greenlit in the traditional studio system. The show sees her try out difficult jobs like FBI hostage negotiation and joining the traveling circus. The challenges can be dangerous and the shoots long. That's why she said an Emmy nomination would mark a win for the creator economy writ large. "Anytime a creator in the digital landscape does something, it's paving a new way for everybody exterior to the traditional Hollywood system," she said. YouTube CEO Neal Mohan said in a Hollywood Reporter op-ed that YouTubers deserve Emmys and the Television Academy should consider expanding its categories. The Emmys "should reflect what viewers are actually watching on their TV screens," he said — a nod to YouTube's growing dominance in the living room. Many creators "operate as full-fledged studios with writers' rooms, production teams, and genre-defining formats," Angela Courtin, YouTube's VP of marketing for connected TV and creative studio, told BI in a statement. "It is only fitting that their creative achievements be honored alongside Hollywood's most celebrated figures." In addition to its FYC efforts, YouTube has helped creators get into film festivals, the spokesperson said. Khare had a screening at the Montclair Film Festival last year, and Evans and "Good Mythical Morning" were both at Sundance and SXSW this year. YouTube's efforts to position its content alongside traditional TV don't stop there. YouTube is also readying a "Shows" feature for its TV app to give episodic content more of a polish. First announced in September and touted at YouTube's Brandcast advertising event, Shows organizes YouTube series into seasons and episodes on dynamic landing pages.

Fake old man reveals 'Mission: Impossible' premiere ruse, earns Tom Cruise's respect
Fake old man reveals 'Mission: Impossible' premiere ruse, earns Tom Cruise's respect Show Caption Hide Caption 'Mission: Impossible 8': Tom Cruise saves day at sea and in skies Superspy Ethan Hunt (Tom Cruise) needs to stop a rogue AI from taking over the world in "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning." There is one extreme way to meet Tom Cruise that even the "Mission: Impossible" star had to admire: in disguise at a gala premiere. YouTube star Michelle Khare, the risk-taking host of "Challenge Accepted" (5.1 million YouTube subscribers), went old school spy in her quest for a memorable face-to-face meeting with Cruise at the London premiere of "Mission: Impossible – The Final Reckoning" on May 15. Khare, 32, changed into an elaborate old man disguise, complete with a latex mask, in a nearby phone booth before entering the premiere as a guest, as revealed in her TikTok and Instagram videos. "Tom Cruise is my idol; he is Hollywood's last action star," Khare tells USA TODAY. "I'm known as a YouTube daredevil, so I wanted to make a strong impression and re-create one of Ethan Hunt's most iconic moments. But it all could have ended up pretty embarrassing." 'Mission: Impossible'? We rank every movie (even 'Final Reckoning') from worst to best Khare went to the respected Immortal Masks for the impressive mask and worked with a movement coach to mimic the slow walk of a 75-year-old man. The YouTuber alerted "like three people" at Paramount Pictures about the plan. But the security team checking invitations, waiting photographers, and hundreds of fans in attendance were in the dark. "Obviously, my nightmare walking up was to have security ask, 'Can we see your photo ID?' " says Khare, who made it past several layers of security. She was surprised to hear fans calling out for the shuffling senior with a cane to come over for selfies. They thought the man could only be Cruise undercover. Khare ambled over to a spot in front of photographers and made the big reveal, pulling off the mask as Cruise's Hunt has done in the "M: I" franchise many times before. The YouTube host had Mission-Impossibled the "Mission: Impossible" premiere. The impressed action star, 62, walked over for a one-on-one conversation that lasted an eternity by Cruise standards: eight minutes. "Most people might get a photo and move on," says Khare. "But we really talked. I was very nervous about looking crazy meeting Tom Cruise like this, but it was worth the risk." The meeting ended in classic Cruise fashion. "He looked me in the eye, shook my hand, and said, 'Be competent, not careful,' " says Khare. "That's such a fun way to end your moment with Tom Cruise. We can all learn from that." What is 'Challenge Accepted' on YouTube? Khare spoke about her Cruise stunt during a Los Angeles For Your Consideration Emmy event on May 18. The YouTube show, which Khare produces, directs and hosts, features the former professional cyclist undergoing grueling training regimens for various professions or impossible tasks – from attending military boot camp to a paramedic academy. The "Challenge Accepted: 90 Day Black Belt" episode, which depicts Khare training for a martial arts black belt, is the show's first Primetime Emmy submission, eligible in the outstanding hosted nonfiction series or special category. Khare, who is finishing a full-length "Challenge Accepted" YouTube video of the "Mission: Impossible" stunt, has her sights set for an even bigger homage: The classic plane caper from "Rogue Nation." "I got to tell Tom that I'm planning to re-create his 'Mission: Impossible 5' stunt where he's hanging off the side of a military aircraft as it's taking off," says Khare. "Sometimes you just have to go for it."
