‘The Penguin': DC Studios Series Nears Record Emmy Noms For Comic Book Show With 24
Television Academy viewers didn't treat The Penguin like some waddling bafoonish, cartoon villain, rather as a high-end prestige series. The DC Studios HBO show swam toward 24 Primetime Emmy nominations this morning, which is arguably the second best for a comic-book series and the second best for a DC series after HBO's 2019 series Watchmen, which owned 26 Emmy noms and is still cited by the Guiness Book of World Records as the most successful comic book series in Emmy history with 11 wins. The Penguin's 24 noms also outpeg the 23 noms earned by Disney+/Marvel Studios' Wandavision back in 2021. More from Deadline Music Supervisor Gabe Hilfer Lands Three Nominations In The Same Category Snubbed By Oscars, 'Will & Harper,' 'Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story' Score Multiple Emmy Nominations Debora Cahn Says It Is "More Important Than Ever" To Shed Light On Work Of Civil Servants As 'The Diplomat' Receives Outstanding Drama Emmy Nom Penguin's success this AM comes in the wake of the new DC Studios' under Peter Safran and James Gunn launching their first big movie over the weekend, Gunn's Superman to $220M+ worldwide. On the horizon for DC Studios' the second season of The Peacemaker which is getting a blast off at San Diego Comic-Con next week. Penguin's count is the second most noms of any show nominated for the 77th edition of the Emmys after AppleTV+'s Severance and it's part of HBO's overall 142 Emmy nom count this year. Inspired by the Matt Reeves 2022 DC movie The Batman, which first introduced Colin Farrell's Gotham gangster kingpin Oz Cobb (Reeves an EP here), The Penguin was created by Lauren LeFranc, and follows the continuing adventures of the Dark Knight villain as he pegs his way through the city's ruling crime family spearheaded by Cristin Milioti's Sofia Falcone. Farrell in the run-up to Emmys here has already collected Best Actor TV Drama trophies for playing Oz at SAG, Golden Globes and Critics Choice. Of all the key wins are that for Mike Marino's team in outstanding prosthetic make-up, the goods which morphed Farrell from one of the most good-looking leading men to the most notorious scarred and bloated villain. Part of Farrell's nuance to get lost as Oz can be attributed to Marino's mask work. The Penguin was nominated for 1. Limited Anthology Series 2. Best Actor Limited Anthology Series (Farrell) 3. Best Actress Limited Anthology Series (Milioti) 4. Supporting Actress Limited Anthology series (Deidre O'Connell) 5. Outstanding Production Design Narrative Contemporary Program (One Hour or More) 6.

Contemporary Hairstyling 15. Outstanding Title Design 16. Contemporary Make-up (non-prosthetic) 17. Outstanding Prosthetic Make-up 18. Outstanding Music Composition (Original Dramatic Score) for Limited Anthology Series or Movie for Mick Giacchino's score 19. Sound Editing Limited Anthology Series or Movie 20. Sound Mixing Limited Anthology Series or Movie 21. Special VFX in single episode 22. Outstanding Stunt Performance 23. Outstanding Stunt Coordination for Drama Programming and 24. Outstanding Writing for Limited Anthology Series or Movie for LeFranc's episode 'A Great or Little Thing'. Said EP and Showrunner LeFranc today, 'It is an honor to see our show recognized by the Television Academy in such a tremendous way. 24 nominations for The Penguin is astonishing. I am endlessly grateful for HBO Max's support, and beyond thrilled for Colin, Cristin, and Deirdre, whose work on The Penguin is nothing short of astounding. It has been a genuine pleasure making eight episodes with the kindest, most talented, and fiercely passionate cast and crew, and I look forward to trading in our heated vests and winter coats for something a touch classier, and ideally with fewer layers. One last hurrah. 'We did it, Ma.''

George Lucas Is Coming to Comic-Con For the First Time Ever
San Diego Comic-Con 2025 just came through with one hell of a top guest: the convention just confirmed that George Lucas will be making his SDCC debut in Hall H this year. The father of fandom, creator of Star Wars, and the rise of pop culture that gave way to what the convention has become, is in for quite a homecoming. According to Variety, who broke the news of Lucas' first in-person appearance, the man behind the legend of Lucasfilm will be taking part in the convention to promote the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art. Opening in 2026 and located in Los Angeles, the museum has been a long endeavor of the filmmaker, and it makes perfect sense to bring the first look to SDCC. Did we mention it's shaped like a spaceship? It's still rooted in Star Wars. If you thought George Lucas showing up at Nerd Mecca of all places was wild enough, we haven't gotten to the part about who is on the panel with him. Trust us, the crossover of genre masters is astounding here because joining him will be Guillermo Del Toro (Frankenstein), alongside legendary visual designer Doug Chiang, and surprise moderator in Queen Latifah, to expound on the generations of movie history coming to the Lucas Museum next year. 'We are beyond thrilled to welcome George Lucas to Comic-Con for the very first time,' shared Comic-Con's chief of communications and strategy, David Glanzer, through a statement published in the trade. 'Nearly five decades ago, 'Star Wars' made one of its earliest public appearances at our convention, along with a booth featuring Howard Chaykin's now legendary 'Star Wars' poster as a promotional item. Now, to have Mr. Lucas return—this time to debut the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art—is a true full-circle moment. His lifelong dedication to visual storytelling and world-building resonates deeply with us and our community, and the museum's mission to celebrate narrative art in all its forms perfectly reflects what Comic-Con has championed from the very beginning.' Here's the official panel description: Sneak Peek of the Lucas Museum of Narrative Art — Legendary filmmaker George Lucas will make an appearance alongside Academy Award-winning director Guillermo del Toro and Academy Award-winning artist Doug Chiang. The panel, moderated by Queen Latifah, will discuss the power of illustrated stories and the role of narrative art in society. From ancient cave drawings and hieroglyphics to paintings, murals, illustrations, comics, digital media, and sculptures, this panel will delve into the universal language of illustrated storytelling. (Hall H) So if you thought you were leaving the convention Saturday night or Sunday morning, you were sorely mistaken. There's a chance you might be joining us in the overnight Hall H line to make it into this unprecedented panel because, as a delightful bonus, it's being held on the last day of the convention, Sunday, July 27.
