Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large [Above: Emmanuel Acho celebrated at the 2021 Creative Arts Emmys after winning for “Uncomfortable Conversations With a Black Man.”] There’s a reason why event producer Bob Bain didn’t employ a host for this year’s two Creative Arts Emmy ceremonies. He has 45 awards to give out on Saturday, Sept. 3, and 48 categories to honor on Sunday, Sept. 4 — which means there’s little time for anything else. “If you think about it, the biggest challenge for a host is that once you have him or her, you have to justify them being up there,” Bain says. “For us to create, over the course of two hours, six or eight throws or standups for a host, just takes up more time than we feel we need to spend.”

HBO’s long-awaited “Game of Thrones” prequel “House of the Dragon” premiered to a huge audience last Sunday, courting nearly 10 million viewers on premiere night, and making actress Milly Alcock, who plays Princess Rhaenyra Targaryen, not one, but two of the top Google trending topics related to the show.“What?! Oh my God,” Alcock replies when TheWrap makes her aware that fans were clamoring to know more about the Australian actress, searching “Milly Alcock,” and “How old is Milly Alcock?” (“I’m 22,” she laughs, “I look really young”), as she was boldly introduced to viewers from atop a dragon, and quickly made an impression as the quietly astute daughter to the king, looking to carve her own path in a realm ruled by men. When TheWrap catches up with Alcock just days after “House of the Dragon’s” debut, she’s just finished up some work responsibilities, and a handful of errands, including buying socks. No, she wasn’t recognized on the outing, but with her face on billboards across the world – that intimidating dragon behind her – and an impression-making premiere performance (seen by 20 million viewers by week’s end) things are about to change.“I was in Paris, when the premiere came out.

The original Cooper family sans Shailene Woodley's character of Kaitlin Cooper have publicly reunited and have transported fans back to the early 2000s.
