Mary Lou Belli knows she’s the longshot to win the Emmy for outstanding comedy director, and that’s fine with her. After all, she’s up against some marquee names, including Tim Burton (“Wednesday”), Bill Hader (“Barry”) and Amy Sherman-Palladino (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”).
But here’s something only she and Hader have in common among this year’s nominees: A back-to-back nomination. Belli was also nominated last year for BET+’s “The Ms. Pat Show,” which in 2022 gave BET one of its first-ever major scripted series nominations.
This year, Belli repeats that feat with the standout episode “Don’t Touch My Hair.” It’s quite a moment for the longtime director, having finally been recognized after decades in the craft. I had to call her up and hear more about it. “I’m so, so pleased and honored to bring some light to a multi-cam show, but especially to Ms.
Pat and Jordan Cooper, who created the show,” she tells me. “The stories they’re telling are so unique. I don’t know about anybody else, but I’ve never done it for the awards or the recognition.
I mean, I’m honored, especially to be nominated with these heavyweights. But now, so much of my time when I’m not directing is about advocacy. So, if I can shine a light or create a space where another woman or a person of color can be successful, that’s my win.” Belli is a firecracker, and I mean that in the absolute best sense.
Get her going, and she has a lot to say. I love chatting with fascinating industry veterans like that, and Belli boasts quite a unique story. When Belli began directing TV in the 1990s, there still weren’t many women in the game.

Not only a beautiful destination, the Telluride Film Festival is a cinephile’s paradise; a secluded city in the Colorado mountains that’s hard to get to and then rather exclusive, which is probably partly the draw and the reason so many filmmakers and actors adore Telluride. But it’s also a cinephile’s haven in terms of community, there’s a knowing togetherness, lack of hierarchy and you can easily be in line for a film with a random science teacher from Albuquerque who is also a massive film nerd as you could be next to legendary director Werner Herzog.
The Venice Film Festival is upon us again, and we can’t believe it. While we are a little sad that it means that summer is winding down, the positive is that it implies that audiences everywhere are about to have a treasure trove of sure-to-be spectacular films to look forward to.
