TV lovers have a month to binge all the Emmy nominees in the limited or anthology series category. (Much more doable than catching up on seasons upon seasons of this year’s nominated comedies and dramas.)
All the nominated titles are available to stream online ahead of the Emmys on Sept. 15, including on Netflix, Max, Hulu and other platforms. Netflix leads all nominees with a total of 107 noms, including for limited series Ripley, Griselda and Richard Gadd’s Baby Reindeer. FX comes in second with 93 nods, including for Fargo and Feud: Capote vs. the Swans; followed by HBO with 91 for The Sympathizer and True Detective: Night Country; and Apple TV+ with 72 (including for Lessons in Chemistry).
In order to be eligible for the 2024 Emmys, television programming had to air between June 1, 2023, and May 31, 2024.

After a steady takeoff in May with “Kingdom of the Planet of the Apes,” Disney has been flying high at the box office as the first studio with back-to-back $1 billion hits with “Inside Out 2” and “Deadpool & Wolverine.” Now it’s looking for a smooth landing with 20th Century’s “Alien: Romulus.”
Set between the first two — and most popular — installments of the legendary horror franchise, “Romulus” sees the “Alien” series entrusted to “Evil Dead” and “Don’t Breathe” director Fede Alvarez, who has made it a point to show off his film’s use of practical sets and effects wherever possible.
That approach came with a reported production budget of $80 million before marketing. That’s lower than the $97 million for Ridley Scott’s “Alien: Covenant,” which grossed $74.2 million domestic and $240 million worldwide. If “Romulus” can match that record, it will be a modest win for Disney after a resurgent summer.

“Fargo” exec producer Noah Hawley is currently busy at work on the new series “Alien: Earth” for FX. But if he had time, the show he’d really like to work on is “True Detective.”
“Oh my God. Let’s do it,” said “True Detective: Night Country” exec producer Issa Lopez. Added Hawley: “I would only do it with you.”
Hawley, Lopez and “Lessons in Chemistry” exec producer Lee Eisenberg sat down recently with Variety’s Virtual FYC Fest: The Nominees to discuss their Emmy nods in limited or anthology series — and found some interesting connections between their shows.
“What I loved about what Issa did was to take this sort of magic realism and really expand that idea that was always present in ‘True Detective,’ the extreme location and creating a mystery that is both literal and metaphorical,” Hawley said. “I think that’s always really interesting.

‘Alien: Romulus’ is right around the corner, so it’s the perfect time to check out ‘Lily C.A.T.,’ an anime body horror classic that’s a gory tribute to ‘Alien’ and ‘The Thing’.
“Confine them? We’re on a ship. We’re practically confined ourselves.”
Ridley Scott’s Alien is an iconic horror/science fiction hybrid that’s had its ups and downs as a film franchise, but remains an essential genre film 45 years later. Alien is such a tried and true property with limitless potential that it’s kind of remarkable that there hasn’t been an Alien animated series or in-universe anime that’s in the vein of The Animatrix that translates this iconic sci-fi horror property into animated madness where it can really let loose and not be confined by live-action’s limitations. An unreleased Alien vs. Predator anime is the closest thing that audiences have gotten to this,...

In an age when a great deal of television is shot the same way regardless of the genre, with the same straightforward coverage that’s been standard industry practice for decades, FX’s “Fargo” stands apart. It’s a show with a genuine visual philosophy that evolves from season to season, with camera movement, framing, and lens selection that’s creatively motivated and not simply dictated by the need for a crew to make its days. For series creator and showrunner Noah Hawley, the visual approach began with the filmmakers whose movie provided him with his source material.
“The Coen brothers are not just great screenwriters,” Hawley told IndieWire’s “Filmmaker Toolkit” podcast. “They’re the great directing team of our generation. They write or rewrite a lot of scripts [that they don’t direct], but those movies never turn out to be Coen brothers movies. So there’s got to be something in the...

Exclusive: David Rysdahl (Fargo) has been tapped to star opposite Lily Sullivan in SOULM8TE, Atomic Monster and Blumhouse’s new film out of the M3GAN universe, Deadline has learned.
In the film from director Kate Dolan (You Are Not My Mother), Rysdahl plays a man who acquires an Artificially Intelligent android (Sullivan) to help him cope with the recent loss of his deceased wife. In an attempt to create a truly sentient partner, the man inadvertently turns a harmless lovebot into a deadly soulmate.
Dolan is directing after rewriting the original draft from Rafael Jordan (Salvage Marines), which was based on a story by James Wan, Ingrid Bisu and Jordan. Sources tell us this film is a deal more risqué than M3GAN, falling in the tradition of ’90s domestic thrillers but with a modern, technological twist.
Wan and Jason Blum will produce, with Michael Clear and Judson Scott...

“There’s an ambition in ‘Fargo’ in balancing story, theme, character, entertainment and action,” states creator and showrunner Noah Hawley. In our recent webchat he adds, “If you entertain people, they give you permission to do more with theme or character, to do something that seems elevated.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.
“Fargo” is the FX anthology series created by Hawley, inspired by the 1996 Joel and Ethan Coen film. Each season takes a darkly comedic look at characters dealing with life and crime in the Midwest. The series’ fifth installment tells the story of Dot, played by Juno Temple, whose normal life is disrupted when her abusive ex-husband discovers her whereabouts.

When Disney merged with 20th Century Fox, the House of Hosue acquired many iconic film and TV franchises. Among them were Alien and Predator, with the latter rebooted as a critically acclaimed Hulu movie titled Prey.
As for Alien, we have a TV show - likely titled Alien: Earth - on the way from Noah Hawley and a movie heading to theaters later this year, Alien: Romulus, directed by Evil Dead's Fede Alvarez.
This summer, Marvel Comics will deliver the crossover we've all been waiting for by bringing us a battle for the ages when the Aliens and the Avengers face off in the pages of Aliens vs. Avengers. The limited series comes our way from the creative team behind Secret Wars: Jonathan Hickman (Ultimate Spider-Man) and Esad Ribić (Eternals).

“Whoever wins, we lose,” read the famous tagline for Alien vs. Predator.
Ask most critics in 2004, and they would insist that we did indeed lose. “The title alone betrays an entire Hollywood mindset of rehash, reheat, recombine. Re-please,” wrote Jessica Winter of Time Out. “A movie based on a video game based on two entirely separate sci-fi horror series—so whatever was interesting in the originals has long been bred out, like double-jointedness,” lamented Ty Burr of the Boston Globe.
These samples captured the general tenor of the critical response, which decried AvP as an unholy diluting of two venerable franchises, a mess that no one in their right mind would want. According to these critics, AvP could appeal to no one who hadn’t read the original Dark Horse comic books, played the video games, or watched and re-watched the xenomorph tease at the end of Predator 2.
Of course the critics were wrong.

“’Fargo’ is quite different than any show I’ve ever worked on,” admits music supervisor Maggie Phillips. In our recent webchat she continues, “The music of the show, the soundtrack and the songs, get to be a character of its own. On some shows, I wouldn’t want to be bold and call attention to the songs. In ‘Fargo’ you want people to notice and be thought provoking.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.

Alien: Romulus is now just over two weeks away from arriving in theaters and a terrifying new sneak peek has been unleashed by 20th Century Studios. We also have more than half a dozen exclusive exhibitor/ticketing partner posters and these are among the best we've seen this year!
Talking to Deadline (via SFFGazette.com) at the San Diego Comic-Con this past weekend, director Fede Álvarez revealed whether this movie will link up with Noah Hawley's upcoming Alien: Earth FX TV series.
"They were doing the show already when we started writing, and there’s such different timelines that there was no way to connect them, even if you wanted," the filmmaker explained. "This is such a standalone story that happened so much later than their story, as far as I know,” he said. “I don’t know all the details of the show, but I can’t wait to watch it.

Ahead of the August 16 release of Alien: Romulus, filmmaker Fede Álvarez caught up with Deadline at Comic-Con to tease what fans can expect from his installment of the revered sci-fi franchise, delving into his first meeting with Ridley Scott’s Scott Free, going for a younger cast, Hollywood’s current move back toward originals, and more.
Álvarez called his film “a pretty intense ride” — “45 years of great science fiction horror ideas, combined in two hours, plus more of the ones that I bring myself.”
His hope for the project, he said, was “to take the franchise back to its true form, in a way, to its original form — to be really honest about what this truly is and what the first movie was.” If you look back to Scott’s 1979 original Alien, he noted, the film was something that “terrified” everybody.

In the wake of its title announcement, we dig into what we know about Noah Hawley’s upcoming FX TV series, Alien: Earth.
If you’ve seen Fargo or Legion, you’ll know that showrunner Noah Hawley makes darn good telly. Which is just as well, because with the recently-titled FX series Alien: Earth, he’s wading into a franchise that is thick with 45 year-old lore, and is littered with divisive prequels and at least one director left disillusioned with the experience of making a sequel.
As the writer, director and showrunner of the first ever show based in the Alien universe, Hawley therefore has some clod-hopping shoes to fill – not to mention an executive producer, Ridley Scott, who almost certainly won’t mince his words if the resulting series isn’t up to scratch.
So what is Alien: Earth about? Where does it fit in with the rest of the series?...

Landgraf was addressing the Emmy nominations for Fargo and Shogun but let some key details on Hawley's show slip, revealing, "Noah is deep in work on Season 1 of 'Alien: Earth' right now. We're in post-production, and we are talking to him and watching cuts every week."

Earlier this week, we learned that Marvel Studios is in talks with filmmakers Joe and Anthony Russo to helm both Avengers 5 and Avengers: Secret Wars.
While the duo responsible for Captain America: The Winter Soldier, Captain America: Civil War, Avengers: Infinity War, and Avengers: Endgame have previously said they wouldn't be free to work on an MCU project until the end of the decade, the duo's Agbo-produced content has been a tad hit-or-miss.
Cherry starring Tom Holland wasn't the Oscar frontrunner many expected and blockbuster TV shows and movies like Citadel and The Gray Man received similarly tepid responses. Arguably the only real hit has been Netflix's Extraction movies.
As a result, a return to the Avengers franchise benefits them just as much as it does Marvel Studios.
With so much talk of superhero fatigue, Kevin Feige can't risk the two-part conclusion to the Multiverse Saga being anything other than excellent.

Ok, the big shocker of the week, at least in terms of superhero movies was the news that the Russo Brothers returned to Marvel Studios and seemingly will direct the next two ‘Avengers’ movies, the unofficially titled, “Avengers 5,” and “Avengers: Secret Wars.”
Although it might seem like a no-brainer on the surface, Anthony and Joe Russo directed four super-successful Marvel movies in a row: “Captain America: Winter Soldier,” “Captain America: Civil War,” “Avengers: Infinity War,” and “Avengers: Endgame.” The latter two are among the highest-grossing films of all time.

It’s official: Noah Hawley‘s “Alien” TV series at FX is in post-production, and THR reports that show has a new subtitle. “We are wrapped — just wrapped,” Hawley confirmed to the outlet earlier this week. “I’m in post, editing away, and obviously there’s a large visual effects component that takes time. But I couldn’t be happier with the show we shot.” And as for the series’ full title.

When Empire spoke to Fede Álvarez, director of Alien: Romulus, last month, the man behind 2013's gnarly Evil Dead reboot and subversive 2016 home invasion chiller Don't Breathe revealed the Alien-meets-Aliens aspirations of his hotly anticipated upcoming sci-fi horror movie. And if the final facehugger-filled, chestburster-packed, incredibly creepy trailer for Álvarez's new entry in the Alien saga is anything to go by, then it looks like he's absolutely nailed the assignment here. Check it out:
Give us a minute — that was intense! The trailer kicks off slowly, forebodingly, with a reminder of Alien: Romulus' set-up as we meet Cailee Spaeny's Rain Carradine, leader of a scavenger crew — including David Jonsson, Archie Renaux, Isabela Merced, Spike Fearn, and Aileen Wu — whose time-sensitive heist plans are scuppered when they come face-to-face(hugger) with their target ship Romulus' xonomorph-y denizens.

Previously and very briefly known as Alien: Neverland, Noah Hawley’s Alien TV show is now called Alien: Earth.
After reports that Noah Hawley’s Alien TV show was to be called Alien: Neverland, it now seems that Hawley and FX have gone in a different direction, calling the upcoming series Alien: Earth instead.
The Alien: Neverland title floated around in June, but Hawley confirmed the title in an interview with Variety after producer John Landgraf revealed the title in a separate interview.
Speaking to Variety after the Emmy nominations, Hawley confirmed that production on Alien: Earth had now been completed and the grind to finish the visual effects is now beginning.
“It’s a very big show. It’s nice to have some time with it,” Hawley said. “The first year of anything, you want to feel like you’re not up against the wall in terms of time.

In space nobody can hear you scream — but all bets are off back on Earth. With Fede Álvarez's Alien-meets-Aliens hybrid Alien: Romulus just weeks away from hitting cinemas, more news is starting to trickle through on Noah Hawley's upcoming xenomorph series. Per THR's reporting, Hawley has just wrapped filming on his long-gestating Alien series, whose title has now been revealed to be Alien: Earth.
“We are wrapped — just wrapped,” Hawley told THR, revealing that he's knees deep in the post-production process on the show, figuring out the series' VFX elements as Alien: Earth's long road to our screens finally nears its end.

Get ready fans, the Alien franchise is getting super scary and super cool! Noah Hawley, the director known for Fargo, is working on a new Alien TV show for FX called Alien: Earth. It takes place about 30 years before the first movie and brings the nasty aliens called Xenomorphs to our planet.
They just finished filming and it sounds awesome. Hawley said in an interview that they “just wrapped production” which means they’re done shooting all the episodes. Now comes the fun part where they add all the crazy alien effects. Hawley was really excited to start working on that part too.
The show is all about the scary company called Weyland-Yutani that’s always trying to capture aliens. There’s a main character named Wendy who is part human and part robot. She gets mixed up with Weyland-Yutani’s plans to study aliens and create new lifeforms. Sounds like trouble!

The three most nominated programs at the Emmys this year, Shōgun (25 nominations), The Bear (23) and Only Murders In the Building (21), are all labeled differently — as FX, FX on Hulu and Hulu Originals series, respectively. But they have something in common — they all stream on Hulu.
As Co-Chairman of Disney Entertainment, Dana Walden oversees FX, Hulu as well as ABC, whose Abbott Elementary continued to carry the flag for broadcast series with 9 Emmy nominations, and various other television divisions of the company. Speaking with Deadline after the Emmy nominations were announced today, Walden was asked about surprises and disappointments on the list.
“Well, I would say there were not many disappointments. It’s an incredible day for the Walt Disney Company,” she said. “When I think about what all of us have worked together to do over the past five years as we integrated the Fox businesses into the Walt Disney Co.

FX’s upcoming “Alien” series has a new title, according to network boss John Langraf and showrunner Noah Hawley: “Alien: Earth.”

FX’s long-gestating Alien series has finished principal filming, creator Noah Hawley says.
“We are wrapped — just wrapped,” Hawley told The Hollywood Reporter Wednesday, the same day his other FX series, Fargo, earned 15 Emmy nominations. “I’m in post, editing away, and obviously there’s a large visual effects component that takes time. But I couldn’t be happier with the show we shot.
“If people wanted a television series based on the world of Alien, I think I’m gonna give them something special.”
The series, whose full title will be Alien: Earth, was early into its production cycle in Thailand when the 2023 actors strike shut down the set (scripts had all been written before writers struck in May). Filming resumed after management agreed to new contracts with the two unions; the series is slated to premiere sometime next year.

The Alien franchise is set to continue on the small screen with an “FX on Hulu” TV series from Fargo creator Noah Hawley, a show that began filming in Thailand last year, then had to halt production after a month due to the actors strike. Filming resumed earlier this year… and it looks like it’s wrapping up this month (as scheduled), because Sydney Chandler – whose previous credits include Don’t Worry Darling and the mini-series Pistol, and who was announced to be the lead of the Alien TV series when she was cast back in May of 2023 – has taken to social media to reveal that her time in Thailand has come to an end.
Chandler wrote, “Farewell Bangkok. Benchakitti. Lumphini. Krabi. Pathum Wan. China Town. The Onsen. And good Ole Kinokuniya … Farewell 4am pickups. Bkk Traffic. Walkie-Talkie static. Late night motorbikes. Manic laughter. And pure creative adrenaline … Farewell River Kwai.

After scoring his first Emmy nomination for his work in the fifth season of FX’s crime anthology Fargo, Lamorne Morris hopped on the phone with Deadline to tease Sony’s SNL 1975 (working title) and Prime Video’s Spider-Noir, also discussing his hopes for the future of his career.
Of SNL 1975, Morris said, “Jason Reitman directed the hell out of this thing. It’s a great look at day one at SNL, the ups and downs, how the show almost didn’t happen, the characters. Lorne Michaels, played by Gabe Labelle, trying to manage all these personalities, all while getting this show on the air. Obviously, now, we know 50 years later what this show has become, but to see the origin of it and the actors on this movie will blow your mind.”

Trekkies might never get their R-rated Star Trek film with Quentin Tarantino directing. The fourth film in J.J. Abrams’ Kelvin timeline of reboot films has been developing since 2016 after the release of Star Trek: Beyond. However, the film has undergone various iterations and missed several deadlines.
Jonathan Frakes, who plays William Riker in the franchise and has directed multiple episodes of original films has reportedly lost all hope on a fourth film. The Star Trek: The Next Generation star reportedly mentioned that if a movie with such big names attached could not get developed, the future of the franchise lay in TV.

Quentin Tarantino has maintained that he would be retiring as a director after helming his tenth film. The filmmaker has finished nine films and his farewell to Hollywood is still under development.

On the heels of Andy Kelly‘s Perfect Organism: An Alien: Isolation Companion, author Mike Diver has announced a little book of his own involving Alien: Isolation. Only this time, the book won’t stop at Creative Assembly’s hit title.
Announced via Diver’s X account, he’s currently in the process of gathering interviews for Aliens: The Video Games (working title), a book that will serve as “a complete guide to all the official (and some unofficial!) games” inspired by the Alien film series. Obviously, Alien: Isolation will be one title, but the book will focus on games from the 80s all the way to the present.
Further details on Aliens: The Video Games are still to come, but according to Mike, it will be coming out in “a year or so”, so keep an eye out for it.

While we wait for Fede Alvarez’s new movie Alien: Romulus to arrive in theaters next month, we’ve learned this week that filming has wrapped on the “Alien” TV series from FX.
The series had been filming in Thailand throughout the first half of the year, with production originally beginning last summer before being shut down due to the SAG-AFTRA strike.
Series star Sydney Chandler announced the end of production on Instagram this week. You can find her post below. Read on for everything you need to know about FX’s “Alien.”
Update: The show’s official title at this time is “Alien: Earth.”
The Alien franchise’s first ever television series comes from creator Noah Hawley (“Legion”), and it’s likely to arrive sometime next year. Of particular note, it’s set to be the first story in the franchise that takes place here on Earth, set roughly 70 years in the future.

The mystique and fascination surrounding the A-list actor, Jon Hamm, are undeniable. He presents a quality of work that is worthy of its place at the forefront of film and television, be it a billion-dollar legacy sequel like Top Gun: Maverick or Noah Hawley’s series adaptation of Fargo.

While actors actively search for roles, for those of his caliber, it is harder to avoid offers than accepting them. In the long run, Jon Hamm is an unyielding talent, unstoppable by the nature and creativity of his work, and Hollywood (and the fans) is all the better for it.

J.J. Abrams is one of the few filmmakers who has gotten the chance to be a driving force between two of the biggest sci-fi franchises. The filmmaker rebooted the Star Trek franchise with the 2009 film and its sequel while he also continued the Skywalker Saga in Star Wars.
While the director is known for his overreliance on nostalgia in the respective franchises, he reportedly missed the chance to bring in one of the best directors of the Star Trek films back for the fourth film. According to Jonathan Frakes, who directed Star Trek: First Contact and Insurrection, he was not chosen to helm the fourth film in the reboot series.

There is a reason why many of the Star Trek films have been helmed by cast members of the franchise.

Legion, FX’s mutant magnum opus, was a great entry into the X-Men franchise. The show was brilliant in its execution, revolving around David Haller, who is the son of Charles Xavier.

Exclusive: Veteran CAA television agent Ted Miller is leaving to start a global management business. He just shared the news with his colleagues. Details about his new company will be unveiled at a later date.
The exit ends a 35-year agenting career at CAA for Miller, who started in the mailroom in 1988 before becoming an assistant to agency co-founder Michael Ovitz and getting promoted to agent in 1989.
For decades, there had been a handful of TV lit-driven management companies. Over the last several years, their number more than doubled as a slew of top TV agents launched new management firms. Miller is one of the biggest names yet to make the switch.
During his tenure at CAA, he has represented top TV showrunners, producers and directors and has held a string of TV leadership positions, most recently as Head of Global Television. He also was instrumental in putting together such series as Black Mirror,...

The Alien franchise is set to continue on the small screen with an “FX on Hulu” TV series from Fargo creator Noah Hawley, a show that began filming last year, then had to halt production after a month due to the actors strike. Filming resumed earlier this year, and continues to this day. A few months ago, we heard that Sandra Yi Sencindiver of Foundation had joined the cast to play “a senior member of the Weyland-Yutani Corporation” in multiple episodes… and in a new interview with Variety, Sencindiver said she believes that fans of Alien and Aliens will be pleased with what Hawley is doing with this show.
One of the first things we heard about the Alien TV series – and one of the most surprising things about it – is that it will actually be set on Earth, a couple decades before the events of the first movie. FX...

Danish actor Sandra Yi Sencindiver is set to appear in Noah Hawley’s highly anticipated “Alien” series for FX, though details about the project remain shrouded in secrecy.
“I think that especially the fans who love films No. 1 [Ridley Scott’s ‘Alien’] and 2 [James Cameron’s ‘Aliens’] will be very pleased with the universe and the world-building in this reimagining,” Sencindiver told Variety. “A lot of brilliant people, a lot of very interesting character actors [who are] very dedicated and, of course, Noah Hawley is just a brilliant storyteller.”

Alien and Blade Runner both spawned sequels, but filmamker Sir Ridley Scott wasn't behind the camera for them. James Cameron helmed the now-classic Aliens, with David Fincher later taking charge of the poorly-received, yet still fondly remembered, Alien 3.
As for Blade Runner, Dune director Denis Villeneuve took charge of Blade Runner 2049, a movie that proved to be a worthy follow-up to Scott's groundbreaking 1982 original.
Talking to Vanity Fair (via SFFGazette.com) about Gladiator II, Scott confirmed he was never asked to direct sequels to either movie or told about their development while it was happening. He blames that on being a relatively new filmmaker and having little interest in making follow-ups at the time.
"I was slow out the starting gate," Scott admits. "I mean, I should have done the sequels to 'Alien' and to 'Blade Runner.' You change over the years. At that time,...

When Sir Ridley Scott returned to the Alien franchise, it was cause for celebration among fans. Unfortunately, his prequels - Prometheus and Alien: Covenant - were light on action and horror and heavy on deep sci-fi themes...which didn't resonate in quite the way the filmmaker hoped.
Disney's acquisition of 20th Century Fox saw them gain the rights to the property and we're now getting a new TV series from Fargo showrunner Noah Hawley and a movie, Alien: Romulus, directed by Evil Dead filmmaker Fede Alvarez.
Thanks to SFFGazette.com, we have a new teaser for Alien: Romulus after the movie was highlighted on an upcoming magazine cover.
The Xenomorphs are finally back and now more terrifying than they have been in a very long time; for those of you wondering, that's Cailee Spaeny's character Rain staring the monster down.
"She’s an amazing talent," Alvarez recently said of the actress.

In January of 2022, Jon Hamm starred in a commercial titled “Everyone But Jon Hamm.” The minute-long spot, for Apple TV+, played off the idea that everyone in the industry seemed to have a television show but him.
When the concept was first pitched, Hamm hesitated. “I was like, ‘There’s a version of this that could go terribly wrong — just thirsty and weird,’ ” he says. But he knew the director and trusted that he’d strike the right tone. So, they moved forward: Hamm, on the couch, scrolling through a carousel of familiar faces with projects on the platform. “Samuel L. Jackson, Billie Eilish, Tom Holland, Chris Evans. What about Jon Hamm?” he says, to the camera. “Jen and Reese, no Jon? Feels like a missed opportunity.”
Now, two and a half years later, he jokes, “I can’t stop working for Apple.” He even did a season of The Morning Show,...

On May 18, five-time Emmy winner Jean Smart added another accolade to her résumé: hometown hero. The star of Max’s Emmy-winning comedy Hacks returned to her Washington roots at a special career-retrospective event and award presentation hosted by the Seattle International Film Festival (Siff), which marked 50 years this spring.
Held inside the famed Siff Downtown Cinema, the event featured Smart winning The Hollywood Reporter’s Trailblazer Award, after which she sat down for a colorful, career-spanning chat about her breakthrough roles and professional turning points — from her theater roots to Designing Women and, more recently, her ascension to the throne of Peak TV royalty.
For Smart, the Trailblazer Award, which is given to Hollywood figures whose work has broken down barriers for women and other marginalized groups, accented a career that’s become as diverse as it is impressive. And with her close-knit Seattle family among the 600 fans in attendance,...

The interstellar universe of Star Trek has been a narrative of explorers and adventurers traveling the vast expanse of galactic space in search of new worlds, new species, new cultures, and identities. With a whole array of movies and series serving as a blueprint for the sci-fi universe, the otherwise empty expanse never feels so empty anymore even with the constant threats of having to encounter unknown alien entities.
Chris Pine as Capt. James Kirk in Star Trek [Credit: Paramount Pictures]With Star Trek: The Original Series, the world first launched into an inquisitive exploration of what the universe had to offer beyond the scope of this galaxy. As the years rolled on, the ambition of mankind evolved parallel to the ambition of the motion picture and television industry. To keep up, the sci-fi franchise also progressively elevated its search for new worlds and new adventures.
