“Last year, as I’m sure we all remember, we experienced an unprecedented event at the Oscars. What happened on stage was wholly unacceptable and the response from our organization was inadequate.We learned from this that the Academy must be fully transparent and accountable in our actions…and particularly in times of crisis, we must act swiftly, compassionately, and decisively…for ourselves and for our industry. You should, and can, expect no less from us going forward.We are committed to maintaining the highest of standards…while creating the changes we wish to see in our industry.
These efforts extend beyond the Oscars and include broadening existing opportunities within the industry, as well as mentoring and inspiring young people who aspire to work in our illustrious disciplines. This is how we create the global film community of the future – one that is open to ideas and cultures from all corners. I urge us all to focus our efforts on nurturing the extraordinary, brilliant community that we inhabit. I want to remind us of the deep respect and love we have for our fellow colleagues…and for the art of filmmaking.
I invite us to grow together, for the collective power of this room and this industry are unstoppable.Our focus for the upcoming Oscars will, in fact, be on unity, partnership, and the collaborative nature of cinema. We shall celebrate the power of entire film crews and the behind-the-scenes magic that make movies possible and powerful. Together with you, as the industry confronts various headwinds, the Academy aims to be a driver of unity – for our artists and for the public.”

Zack Sharf Back in 2001, Sean Penn found himself next to Jack Nicholson in a speeding car on the way to meet Russian president Vladimir Putin. The two actors were in Russia for the world premiere of “The Pledge” at the Moscow Film Festival. The Penn-directed psychological drama starred Nicholson as a retiring police detective who vows to catch the killer of a young child. Penn recently spoke to The Independent about his anxiety-inducing journey to meet Putin. “We were put in a convoy,” Penn said. “We knew that Putin was going to be the honored guest. In the nature of that time and space, we accepted the invitation. We got in this convoy, and we were going as fast as they wanted to drive, with no care for whether it might have presented danger in the villages we drove through.”

The TV Academy today announced a new Emmy category and a jury prize for Emerging Media Programming. It has also revised the rules surrounding the submission of documentary programming.
Michael Schneider Variety Editor at Large The double dip is making a return. The TV Academy has removed its rule barring documentaries from campaigning for both an Oscar and and Emmy — as long as those docs weren’t nominated for an Academy Award. Specifically, “Documentaries that appear on the AMPAS viewing platform but have not received an Oscar nomination may still qualify for Emmy consideration.” That returns the Emmy rules to its pre-2022 stipulations. Starting last year, documentary films placed on the AMPAS viewing platform were ineligible for Emmy consideration. At that point, the rule had been changed to read, “Any film placed on the AMPAS viewing platform will be deemed a theatrical motion picture and thus ineligible for the Emmy competition.”

Brian Steinberg Senior TV Editor Chris Jansing is accustomed to doing marathon stints in front of the camera for NBC News and MSNBC. In the aftermath of 9/11, she sometimes found herself reporting or anchoring for seven hours or more. “I lived on tater tots for, I think, two months,” she recalls in a recent interview. “It was the one thing that could fill me up and wouldn’t ruin my lipstick.” Her latest assignment will require her to be on air only for two hours a day. But it may prove just as challenging. In an era when cable-news anchoring stints are usually doled out 60 minutes at a time, Jansing is taking on more. The new edition of her “Chris Jansing Reports” at 1 p.m. expands to two hours, and her widening territory comes as MSNBC’s identity is increasingly tied up with a growing spate of opinion and “news perspective” programs. Her show, she says, isn’t that. “We are going to respect your trust, your interest, your time,” she says. “We are going to give you the top stories of the day, but we are also going to give you something else.”
