This story about Jessica Chastain and “George & Tammy” first appeared in the Down to the Wire: Drama and Limited Series issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine. This interview took place before the SAG-AFTRA strike began.
An Oscar winner in 2022 for “The Eyes of Tammy Faye”and a Tony nominee in 2023 for “A Doll’s House,” Jessica Chastain completed that acting trifecta this year with her first Emmy nomination. It came for “George & Tammy,”the Showtime limited series that she exec-produced and in which she and fellow first-time nominee Michael Shannon play Tammy Wynette and George Jones, the country music legends who chronicled their stormy on-and-off relationship through decades of hit songs — which Chastain and Shannon sing themselves rather than lip-syncing to the original recordings.
I get the feeling that you were as excited about Michael Shannon’s nomination as you were about your own.

[Editor’s Note: The following review contains spoilers for the “Lodge 49” Season 2 finale, Episode 10, “The Door.”]
If “Lodge 49” is a family — and it certainly is — the last episode of Season 2 feels like a grand reunion. After the chaos of the show’s wild Mexico diversion in the previous two episodes, Long Beach’s beloved Lynxes gather at Lodge 49 for the coronation of Ernie (Brent Jennings) as Sovereign Protector. He and Scott (Eric Allan Kramer) bury the hatchet as they both realize they want different things from life. Connie (Linda Emond) forges the beginning of a literary career and Liz (Sonya Cassidy) even takes her first steps inside Lodge confines.
Leading up to the finale, Season 2 is filled with moments that emphasize how much these disparate characters have become united by circumstance. The beginning of a communal van ride, a collective thanksgiving around a table at a restaurant known for its dumplings, one wild escape to secure the scrolls that have been the seasons-long...

We thought “Game of Thrones” might be an unstoppable Emmy juggernaut for its final season, and it was … sort of. At the Creative Arts Awards on September 15, the show won 10 prizes. But when the rest of the kudos were handed out during the telecast on September 22, its domination was relatively mild. It did in fact win Best Drama Series, but it claimed only one other award: Best Drama Supporting Actor for Peter Dinklage. Check out the complete list of Emmy winners here, and scroll down for the complete list of “Thrones” victories in its entire history.

We thought there might be a “Game of Thrones” bloodbath at the 2019 Creative Arts Emmys, and that’s what we got, though it wasn’t a clean sweep. On Sunday night, September 15, the HBO epic fantasy series won 10 awards. That brings its all-time total to 57 wins, with more categories to come during the main Emmys telecast next Sunday night, September 22. That’s more awards than any narrative series has ever won at the Emmys. The only series it trails in any genre is the sketch comedy “Saturday Night Live,” which has had the benefit of 44 years on the air. Scroll down to see everything “Thrones” has won so far.
On Sunday night, “Thrones” won awards for its casting, costumes, main title design, makeup (non-prosthetic), music composition, picture editing, sound editing, sound mixing, stunt coordination, and visual effects. Five of those awards were for “The Long Night,” the epic battle episode...

TV director Jack Bender last competed at the Emmys in 2016 for the heartbreaking episode of “Game of Thrones” titled “The Door” that ended in the heroic death of Hodor (Kristian Nairn). Bender didn’t contribute to the final season of that epic series, but he deserves to be a contender for Best Drama Directing this year for bringing the wild second season of “Mr. Mercedes” to its shocking conclusion.
The first season of Audience Network’s crime drama was a gritty game of cat and mouse between retired detective Bill Hodges (Brendan Gleeson) and serial killer Brady Hartsfield (Harry Treadaway). Then season two took a turn for the weird and cerebral. Based on the third novel in Stephen King’s Bill Hodges trilogy, “End of Watch,” this latest collection of episodes charted Brady’s rapid recovery from a coma and his subsequent development of psychic powers as the result of...

Warning: The following story contains spoilers about the third episode of “Game of Thrones” Season 8, “The Long Night.”
Even though HBO’s hit series “Game of Thrones” has produced acting nominations for eight of its cast members at the Primetime Emmy Awards, only Peter Dinklage has won, 2011, 2015 and 2018. The guest acting categories in particular have been dark and full of terrors for “Thrones” actors, as they’ve had a difficult time getting into, let alone winning them. Carice van Houten could finally turn the tide, now that she’s eligible in the drama guest actress race after her character Melisandre’s surprise return in “The Long Night.”
So far, Diana Rigg and Max von Sydow are the only actors from this show to have snatched guest acting nominations, the former received four bids, while the latter received one (2016). Although Rigg was expected to win the Best Drama Guest Actress Emmy...

At some point as autumn ends and snowfall appears imminent, you’ve probably heard someone say, “Winter is coming,” perhaps with a joking nudge in the ribs. Or maybe you’ve put on your thickest English accent and imitated the line, “You know nothing, Jon Snow.” Tons of iconic quotes from “Game of Thrones” have made their way into our everyday vernacular, including a few in a completely made-up language. Before the HBO series wraps for good, let’s revisit some of the most memorable phrases from the series’ eight seasons.
“Winter is coming”
The motto of House Stark is more than just a reminder to bundle up for the cold. The lords of the North are always prepared for the harshest season and the arrival of White Walkers, but the phrase is also a warning to others to think twice about provoking the family, because “the North remembers.” Arya...

After seven seasons of fantasy-fuelled spectacle and more watercooler moments than we can even count, HBO’s Game of Thrones is now about to finish off what’s been a truly fantastic run. April 14th is the date for your diaries – in case you haven’t heard yet – as that’s when the Night King (essentially death incarnate) will be unleashed upon the Seven Kingdoms.
It’s the fateful battle between fire and ice – between the living and the dead – that has viewers around the world giddy with anticipation to see what HBO’s cooked up, and while expectations are currently sky high (and understandably so), programming chief Casey Bloys has assured us many times already that season 8 will deliver on everything we could ask for and more.

The structure of Game of Thrones makes a best episodes list feel beside the point, even if there are a few clear standouts like “Blackwater.” It’s a show where the nostalgically inclined may be better served skimming highlights on YouTube than rewatching whole hours on Hbogo. These 10 sequences capture the many different things Thrones has done so well over the years.
1. Cersei Bombs the Sept (“The Winds of Winter,” Season Six)
Narratively, this is the show killing off a bunch of cannon-fodder characters like the High Sparrow and most of the Tyrell family.

By now you’ve seen enough reaction videos to know which scenes “Game of Thrones” fans were most shocked by, but what about the actors themselves? Ahead of the epic series’ upcoming eighth and final season, a number of cast members have revealed the moments that took even them by surprise — several of which involved the actors themselves. Watch below.
Sophie Turner refers to the death of Ned Stark, her onscreen father, as “the most shocking scene that I didn’t see coming” — and she’s hardly alone. Sean Bean’s patriarch is presented as the show’s protagonist in the first season, so his execution eight episodes in is widely regarded as the first major twist on “Game of Thrones.” “From then on, I started to distrust the show as to whether they’d kill my favorite character or not,” Turner says. Ditto.

Viewpoint’s roster of media and entertainment clients includes A&E Networks, AMC Network, Discovery Networks, ESPN, HBO, National Geographic Channel, and Showtime, among others. Consumer-brand clients have included Applebee’s, Gillette, Jc Penney, Hershey’s, Microsoft, Reebok, Staples, and Wendy’s.
“We believe that the acquisition of Viewpoint offers us tremendous strategic opportunities,” said Dolphin Entertainment CEO Bill O’Dowd. “We intend to immediately capitalize on operating synergies with 42West and The Door, both of which have identified the ability to create content for clients as a top priority and an increasingly critical competitive advantage in the entertainment- and lifestyle-marketing space. 42West, by way of example, has already made a big splash in Hollywood with the extremely successful promotional piece it did last...

At the Primetime Emmys telecast on September 17 we weren’t expecting “Game of Thrones” to win any of its five categories, but it surprised us twice, and they were pretty big surprises: it claimed Best Drama Series for the third time and also Best Drama Supporting Actor for Peter Dinklage for the third time. That brings the show’s total awards for the year to 9 and its all-time total to 47, which is by far the most awards for a primetime drama or comedy in a single year.
It’s hard to imagine a behemoth like “Game of Thrones” being considered an underdog anywhere, especially at the Emmys where it earned the most nominations of any program this year (22), but most of our users thought last year’s winner, “The Handmaid’s Tale,” would carry its momentum for another year.

“Game of Thrones” tied “Saturday Night Live” as the biggest winner at the 2018 Creative Arts Emmys over the weekend. Both shows won seven prizes, extending their respective records. “SNL” is the most awarded show of all time, now with 71 wins. And “Game of Thrones” continues to be the most awarded primetime drama or comedy of all time, now with 45 total prizes. How many more do you think it will win when the final awards are handed out at the primetime telecast on Monday?
“Thrones” is up for five more awards at the upcoming telecast: Best Drama Series, Best Drama Supporting Actor (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau and Peter Dinklage), Best Drama Supporting Actress (Lena Headey), Best Drama Writing (“The Dragon and the Wolf”) and Best Drama Directing (“Beyond the Wall” and “The Dragon and the Wolf”).

“Westworld” Season 2 won’t look like anything to you when the third installment of Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s hit HBO sci-fi series rolls around. Well, we can only assume, seeing as it sounds like what many critics and fans thought was a convoluted sophomore year compared to the already-complicated freshman venture, is a walk in the Western-themed park compared to what the married co-creators tell TheWrap they are cooking up next.
“Yes, Season 3 of ‘Westworld’ is definitely going to be a big undertaking,” Nolan told TheWrap, while discussing the 21 Emmy nominations the drama received this year — including nods for Outstanding Drama, and actors Evan Rachel Wood, Jeffrey Wright, Thandie Newton, Ed Harris and Jimmi Simpson.

42West parent company Dolphin Entertainment has expanded its marketing/PR footprint with the acquisition of The Door, a leading lifestyle and hospitality public relations, creative branding and marketing services agency hatched a decade ago by co-founders Lois Najarian O’Neill and Charlie Dougiello.
The two companies will operate separately, but Dolphin Entertainment CEO William O’Dowd said there is symmetry and opportunity between the new acquisition and the entertainment PR firm run by Leslee Dart, Amanda Lundberg and Allan Mayer. He pointed to a recent Observer article that ranked the pair as the third and fourth most powerful PR firms in the U.S. as reason to believe Dolphin has expanded in a compatible way.
The Door’s client list ranges from celebrity chefs like Rachael Ray to hotel groups like Viceroy Hotels and Resorts to restaurant chains such as Starr Restaurants to consumer brands such as Fao Schwarz. Najarian O’Neill,...

The second season finale of “Westworld” will premiere on HBO this Sunday, June 24. Little is known about the episode, titled “The Passenger,” beyond its trailer (watch above) and its brief log line: “In the season finale, everyone converges at the Valley Beyond.” Like the first season finale, it has an extended run time of 90 minutes. Most episodes of the show have run about 60 minutes, with both season premieres and the episode titled “The Riddle of the Sphinx” clocking around 70. Also like the last finale, which was titled “The Bicameral Mind,” this one was written by showrunners Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy. The married couple wrote three episodes together from the first season, which was subtitled “The Maze,” but this is their only scripting collaboration of the second season, which is subtitled “The Door.”

Akecheta (Zahn McClarnon) lays out his philosophy about the park and his people's journey toward consciousness while speaking with Westworld mastermind Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins), the two of them standing in the cold night, surrounded by lights. The comments are made while he's in analysis mode; whether or not his feelings lead to something true, we at least know Akecheta fully believes in his idea.

With the Season 2 finale just around the corner, “Westworld” hit pause on many of its concurrent storylines for a revelatory bottle episode. “Katsuya” focused on the Ghost Nation tribe, and how their leader Akechata (a career-best Zahn McClarnon) was intrinsically tied to the show’s greatest mysteries. Dive into Episode 8’s exploration of ancient “Westworld” lore below.

(Note: This post contains spoilers for the June 3 episode of “Westworld,” “Les Écorchés.”)
The seventh episode of “Westworld” Season 2 dropped a bunch of narrative bombs on viewers, even as it packed in a heap of action as the humans and the hosts faced off in a series of deadly battles.
While Delores (Evan Rachel Wood) battled Hale (Tessa Thompson) and her army of goons to try to rescue Delores’ father, and Maeve (Thandie Newton) and the Man in Black (Ed Harris) had a big showdown, the spookiest events were happening with Bernard (Jeffrey Wright). At the end of the last episode, Bernard jacked himself into the Cradle, the big computer at the center of Westworld that contains all the hosts’ personalities. Inside that digital version of the park, he found somebody who was supposed to be dead: Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins).

(Major spoiler alert: Please do not read ahead unless you’ve seen “Reunion,” Sunday’s episode of “Westworld” Season 2.)
Yes, Evan Rachel Wood, that was Giancarlo Esposito hanging out on the set of “Westworld.” We’re sorry you had to find out this way. But hopefully the performance the “Breaking Bad’ star gave as El Lazo on Sunday’s episode is more than enough to help make up for that white lie he told you last year.
“Being on the set was the most difficult [part],” Esposito told TheWrap in an interview about his cameo Wednesday. “Just to stay in my trailer and not really show my face — be cool about my presence there while I was shooting — was one of the things I had to be conscious of because there were a lot of extras, a lot of actors who clearly I know, and I respect, who just wanted everyone to know, ‘He’s with us out here.’ But after shooting and knowing that the scene had gone so very well, I was really actually even more excited about no one knowing.”
Also Read: 'Westworld' Star Clifton Collins Jr on Becoming That 'Faithful Sidekick' for Ed Harris in Season 2
In the episode, titled “Reunion,” Esposito plays El Lazo — the head of a gang of outlaws in the hedonistic Westworld town of Pariah — who the Man in Black (Ed Harris) comes to for assistance while looking for “The Door” that the deceased Robert Ford (Anthony Hopkins) is teasing him with in a new game. The Mib brought along host Lawrence (Clifton Collins Jr) as his new sidekick, which made Esposito’s scene all the more entertaining to watch, as Lawrence played the character El Lazo in the park in another life.
And, of course, an impressive scene makes it even more impressive that it remained a secret.
As of Wednesday, Esposito said, with a laugh, that he still didn’t “know what anyone knows!” And he confessed he had to be pretty shady around the “Westworld” cast to keep his cameo on the Dl — including Dolores Abernathy herself.

“So then I got really excited,” Esposito said. “I was at a party for the Emmys and some of the other actors from the show were there who I had not seen on the days that I was shooting. They said, ‘Oh, you were on our show!’ And I went, ‘Nooo, not me.’ And Evan Rachel [sic] [laughs]. And I said, ‘But it’s nice to meet you.’ ‘No, you were on our show! No, we were doing a scene at the other location and we were waiting for Sir Anthony Hopkins to come out of your trailer, because he’s such a big fan and he wanted to see you.'”
“And I said, ‘Nooo, I don’t think so. I think you must be mistaken’ — and they bought it!” Esposito said, laughing. “Actors who are on the show, who were there on another hill the day I was there! And I was just very excited about even trying to fool them. It gets to be a bit of a game and it’s fun when you think about it.”
Pausing here for a minute because, yes, you read that right: Hopkins — whose character died at the end of Season 1 — was on set when Esposito was there filming for the current installment.

Earlier this week, HBO confirmed Hopkins had done voiceover work as Ford for last Sunday’s premiere, providing this statement from co-creator Jonathan Nolan to Uproxx about the actor’s involvement in Season 2:
“When available Anthony Hopkins graciously lent his vocal performance for our flashbacks.”
The premium cabler had no additional comment about Hopkins’ presence on set when reached by TheWrap.
Ok, back to Esposito, who said landing this gig was “kind of an inside deal.”
“Well you know, I’ve been doing this show called ‘Better Call Saul’ [laughs],” Esposito said of his work on the “Breaking Bad” prequel series. “I was doing that show, and my guess is that most of it is, this is another top of the heap, an A-listed show.” Esposito said the AMC drama’s producers were approached by “Westworld” showrunners Nolan and Lisa Joy about a cameo, and that was that.
“All of a sudden I was on the phone with Jonathan and with Lisa and they were describing everything,” Esposito added. “And I was just like, ‘Oh, this world is a world I want to be a part of.’ It came kind of through the backdoor. Because I was told they were writing this character and they could think of no one to play it but me. But they weren’t sure it would happen. But everyone was so amenable and I loved the idea, so I said yes.”
Sadly, Esposito’s version of El Lazo was not long for this world, as his cameo lasted about 5 minutes before he and his crew all shot themselves in the head to force Harris’ character to play Ford’s game alone. But because he’s a host and could come back, we of course had to ask if he would come back.
“You know, I would love to, because I think for me it’s really about being able to have the tools,” Esposito said. “And I’m that kind of actor who when I think about the scene now in a different way, yes a very short period of time on screen, a lot of information to unpack — as you put it — and speak to. But I think this is what I love about the work I do. It’s really about the subject matter. It’s about how we grow from the story and are entertained by it and titillated by it.”
“So if I had the opportunity to come back, and particularly this scene and El Lazo,” he continued. “He’s a guy who has been someone else, and then he’s channeling Ford and a bigger piece of this whole story than I think anyone would ever imagine. So I would love to come back and sort of unpack that and see what that looks like. And wow, I think there are some surprises there to be had that would be really, really, exciting for the audience as well.”
“Westworld” airs Sundays at 9/8 c on HBO.

(Spoiler alert: Do not read ahead unless you’ve seen “Westworld” through last Sunday’s Season 2 premiere.)
Lawrence (Clifton Collins Jr.) and the Man in Black (Ed Harris) had a close-knit relationship in Season 1 of “Westworld.” Literally, in that Harris’ character actually dragged the Host around with a rope for the first few episodes of HBO sci-fi series while he went in search of “The Maze.”
That relationship came to an awkward end when the Mib decided to kill Lawrence to save Teddy (James Marsden) might get him to his goal faster. But, if you’ve seen the “weeks ahead” preview that aired after the Season 2 premiere Sunday, you know it appears Collins and Harris will be reuniting. And that the older version of William (Jimmi Simpson) is on a new mission this year to find “The Door.”
In an interview with Collins last month, TheWrap asked the actor how that dynamic will play out in the new season of Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s drama when Lawrence becomes the Mib’s “faithful sidekick.”

“I’m very curious to see how the relationship with the Man in Black and Lawrence pans out because there were some very pivotal scenes that happened [when we shot Season 2] that had me going, ‘Oh my God, I can’t believe this is happening!’ And the same with Ed. We’d both get together and talk and look at each other in disbelief. So I’m very excited for the stuff with the Man in Black and Ed. There is some heavy big doings happening that’s going to have you going, ‘What the hell!'”
Now, why is Lawrence teaming up with the Man in Black again after he slit his throat and drained his blood in Season 1 (apart from the fact that, you know, he’s a Host and may not be one of the ones who is remembering his past yet?). And why might the Mib need Lawrence to accompany him on this journey that Ford (Anthony Hopkins) laid out for him?
“That’s a question I’ve asked myself quite a few times,” Collins said. “You know, I think people need each other. I think people in this world need each other. I think we all need each other. I think it’s a little bit of that. And just servicing the Man in Black, if you will.”

“I also don’t know how these episodes are going to cut together and what pieces they are going to use and what they are not going to use,” Collins added. “So whatever ideas I have now could turn completely different on airdate [laughs]. You watch it and go, ‘Wait a minute!’ There is a lot of that. But in regards to the Man in Black, Lawrence will become more or less that faithful sidekick.”
We should probably remind you that Collins’ host previously held the role of El Lazo in the park — the head of some illegal dealings in the hedonistic town Pariah — decades ago. But Collins wouldn’t spill on where things might go with that storyline this year.

It’s official: the robots have inherited the Earth. Or, to be more specific, Westworld, the futuristic utopia that has since fallen into the cold, mechanized hands of Dolores Abernathy (Evan Rachel Wood) and her army of vengeful hosts.
Their mission? To overthrow Delos and get revenge on their former captors, who controlled the park without showing so much as a shred of humanity to the hosts. Now, they’re looking to stage a revolution and it all begins tomorrow night, when season 2 thrusts viewers into a whole new narrative where the robots have risen up to defy their human creators.
But before we get to all that, it’s time for a little recap, because let’s face it, you’ve surely forgotten some stuff since Westworld was last on the air. Not to mention you probably don’t have time to go back and re-watch the entire first season.

Season 2 of Westworld is coming out on April 22. As a result, it is no exaggeration to say that its release is imminent, which in turn, means that the marketing for the upcoming season has started up as well. Naturally, a trailer has been released for Season 2 of Westworld, which will be called “The Door” in much the same way as how Season 1 of the same series was called “The Maze.” Perhaps unsurprisingly, the trailer for Season 2 of Westworld made it very clear that there will be fighting between hosts and humans, which is the logistical

Here's the first look at the young cast including lead Saskia Rosendahl in Cate Shortland's highly anticipated follow-up to Cannes-hit "Somersault" with a German-language adaptation of Rachel Seiffert's post-wwii drama novella "Lore." The story follows the titular fourteen year old daughter (Rosendahl) of an SS officer who, in the absence of her parents, is forced to guide her brothers and sisters on a 900 km journey across war-ravaged Germany to their grandparent's home. Nele Trebs (”Die Tür”), Kai Malina (”The White Ribbon”) and Ursina Lardi (”Songs Of Love And Hate”) co-star as three of Rosendahl's four siblings. Also featured are…...

The Door / Die Tür
Director: Anno Saul
Written by Anno Saul
2009, Germany
Glowering Danish sex god Mads Mikkelsen (Casino Royale) comes face to face with himself in director Anno Saul’s German fantasy thriller, The Door. It’s one of many head-scratching moments in a film that flirts with different genres and ideas, from time-travel, horror and homicidal doppelgangers to old-fashioned redemptive drama. Narrative coherence isn’t its strong point, but The Door does deliver some genuinely heart-stopping moments.
Artist David Andernach (Mikkelsen), leaves his young daughter Leonie (Valeria Eisenbart) alone in the garden of their suburban house so he can visit his mistress. His afternoon delight turns into a nightmare, when he returns to find the girl drowned in the swimming pool. Five years pass, and a clumsily scripted scene reveals that David is now divorced from his wife Maja (Jessica Schwarz) and in a suicidal state. Then a...

Directed by Anno Saul, this film is based on the 2001 novel Die Damalstuer by Akif Pirinçci, and while the synopsis sounds fantastic, we know little else of the horror described. We're still waiting on a trailer.
The film centers on the formerly successful painter David who has lost control over his life after being responsible for the death of his seven-year-old daughter Leonie through a fatal decision. One day, seven years later, he discovers a door which will give him the opportunity to start all over again. However, what initially appears to be a wonderful chance for a new beginning, soon turns out to be a veritable horror scenario, since not everything in the past is quite as it seems....
Check out the stills after the break.
