Created by Chris Van Dusen for Shondaland based on Julia Quinn’s bestselling novels, the show’s dazzling, diversely cast and notably sexy eight-episode first season feels both comfortingly familiar and refreshing, conjuring up a gleeful world that blends “Gossip Girl” and “Downton Abbey” with a droll, modern edge. A winning fusion by all accounts: Not only did “Bridgerton” become Netflix’s most successful episodic television debut to date, but it also earned the streamer 12 Emmy nominations.
Centered on the courtship of the blossoming young debutante Daphne Bridgerton (Phoebe Dynevor) and the charismatic Simon Basset, The Duke of Hastings (Regé-Jean Page), “Bridgerton” is equally about its rich backdrop of players navigating the busy social season of the early 1800s London. It’s one that overflows with suitors, scandals, and extravagant balls, navigated chiefly by the prominent Bridgerton and Featherington families. A labor of love for the series’ dedicated team of artisans and shot across York,...

“I think all of this recognition and the response has just been amazing,” says “Bridgerton” creator, executive producer, and showrunner Chris Van Dusen about the show’s 12 Emmy nominations, including Best Drama Series. “I’m really humbled, but most of all proud of this cast and this crew and all of my fellow producers. I always hoped that people would find and fall in love with this show.” Watch our exclusive video interview with Van Dusen above.
The Netflix series is based on a series of romance novels by Julia Quinn about the romantic exploits of a family navigating the intrigues of high society in Regency-era London. It appealed to Van Dusen as a change of pace from his work on a previous Shonda Rhimes series, “Scandal.” “All I really wanted to do was something completely other than political intrigue on Capitol Hill. And that’s when I learned about...

Polish cinematographer Łukasz Żal (“Cold War”) scored an upset victory over director Alfonso Cuarón (Oscar Best Picture frontrunner “Roma”) in the battle of
black-and-white movies Saturday night at the 33rd annual Asc Awards (at the Ray Dolby Ballroom in Hollywood).
While Cuarón was the first director ever nominated by the Asc in the theatrical category to shoot his own movie, it really wasn’t such a stretch that the cinematographers went with their own by rewarding Żal. He previously shared the Asc Spotlight Award in 2014 with co-dp Ryszard Lenczewski for their work on the black-and-white “Ida” (also directed by Pawel Pawlikowski).
In terms of the Oscar race, however, the Asc has only been an average bellwether, which tips in Cuarón’s favor in his bid to become the first director honored for shooting his own movie. Since 2000, only nine times have they matched (including Emmanuel “Chivo” Lubezki’s three consecutive wins).

Lukasz Zal has won the American Society of Cinematographers Award for theatrical motion pictures for Pawel Pawlikowski’s black-and-white drama “Cold War,” scoring an upset victory over Alfonso Cuarón and “Roma.”
If he had won, Cuarón would have become the first person to win the Asc Award for a movie he also directed, and the first to win the top prizes from the Asc and the Directors Guild of America.
It is the second Asc Award for Zal, who won the Spotlight Award for Pawlikowski’s last film, 2013’s “Ida.” He came onto that film after original cinematographer Ryszard Lenczewski dropped out, and shared the award with Lenczewski. He shot “Cold War,” which spans a dozen years in post World War II Europe, by himself.

The American Society of Cinematographers will hold their annual awards dinner tonight where they'll be honoring Jeff Bridges with their Board of Governors Award, three-time Oscar winner Robert Richardson with the Lifetime Achievement Award, and two time Emmy winner Jeffrey Jur for the Career Achievement in Television Award. They'll also hand out some competitive prizes and presumably give Alfonso Cuarón yet another trophy for his mantle (let's hope he has steel reinforced shelving at home given this season's worth of hardware.) Update: oops we were wrong and Cuarón lost for practically the first time this season.
Let's look at that beautiful imagery from the winners and nominees again with a few bonus gifs...
Winner: Łukasz Żal, Psc for “Cold War”
What an incredible Dp Żal is. After the consecutive Pawel Pawlikowski's successes of Ida (2013) and Cold War (2018), will he be in demand in Hollywood or just stick to work across the ocean?...

Force Friday II may be stealing headlines left, right, and center with its exhaustive lineup for toys and goodies inspired by Star Wars and, in particular, The Last Jedi, but September 1st heralds the arrival of another geek-friendly product: Marvel and ABC’s Inhumans.
Beginning today, the long-anticipated adaptation of Marvel’s Royal Family will screen in select IMAX theaters, before the eight-part drama uproots for ABC, where it’ll join Agents of S.H.I.E.L.D., towards the end of the month. That IMAX stint will last for around a week, before the arrival of New Line’s It adaptation, which is currently riding the crest of a wave.
Sadly, the opposite is true for Marvel’s Inhumans. Truth be told, the series has struggled to escape criticism since its inception – despite the best efforts of its cast – and there is now a general feeling of indifference looming over Attilan. Don’t believe us?...

Lady Sings the Hues: Rees Returns to Resurrect the Star of Blues Singer
Many may not be immediately familiar with the name Bessie Smith, an incredibly talented and enigmatic blues singer from the 1920s and 30s, whose accomplishments may have lapsed into obscurity outside of the aficionado’s realm. Until now. Returning with her sophomore feature after her powerful 2011 debut Pariah, Dee Rees throws herself into the prickly wiles of the biopic with Bessie for HBO Films. Following in the footsteps of several auteurs that have developed projects with the network, often imbued with those exact details of real life personalities that made their lives so startling in the first place (like Soderbergh’s 2013 Liberace film, Behind the Candelabra), on the surface, Rees gracefully navigates the period with graceful resilience. Until we start to realize there’s still too much we don’t know about Bessie Smith. Eschewing, or more aptly,...

Chicago – The generation raised on movies of the ’80s is now the one that buys the most Blu-rays. And so it makes sense that more and more of the films of our youth are hitting the format. Again. And again. Lionsgate has turned releasing and re-releasing “Dirty Dancing” into an art form (and would never pass up the 25th anniversary without another re-release). And Warner Bros. has finally given both “Gremlins” and “Gremlins 2” an HD polish although one wishes they had given more care and love to Joe Dante’s gems. Oh yeah, you can also now own “Dirty Dancing: Havana Nights” on Blu-ray if there’s anyone out there who considers that valuable information.
It may say something about the war of the sexes but I imagine more men would choose the “Gremlins” 2-pack and more women would lean toward the “Dirty Dancing” 2-film collection on the new releases shelf.

One could just as easily write a negative review as a positive one of Dirty Dancing without even making points that contradict one another. Dancing is a film so ridiculous, so self-assured, so enraptured in a time period that looks like the 1960s but plays like a cross between 1910 and 1987 that you could certainly feel free to deride it for all of its leaps of logic and flagrant cloying, but after a while, you kind of have to wonder what the point would be. Seen from 23 years hindsight, Dancing is certainly one of the films most emblematic of the late 1980s, possessing all of the guilt-free (or is it shameless?) nostalgia and pop musical escapism that the decade has come to represent. But at the same time, the benefit of history has revealed the film to have made just enough interesting and unique creative decisions to justify the strong feelings...

Chicago – How does one review a lavish “Keepsake Edition” of a beloved hit? Does it matter what the critic thinks of the movie itself? It’s not like anyone out there will be buying a gift set such as this having not even seen the film, so the opinion of a potential buyer is pretty much set in stone. With that in mind, if you love “Dirty Dancing” as so many do, it’s hard to think of anything missing from Lionsgate’s new “Limited Keepsake Edition”.
Blu-Ray Rating: 4.0/5.0
I’m old enough to remember when the cult of “Dirty Dancing” started and to still have a cassette tape of the unbelievably successful soundtrack sitting in a box in the attic. “Dirty Dancing” wasn’t just a hit movie, it was a cultural phenomenon for those of who were the right age. Personally, I was surprised to note that the...

TNT's "Dark Blue," ABC's "FlashForward" and "Ugly Betty," CBS's "CSI: Crime Scene Investigation" and the CW's "Smallville" all figured in the American Society of Cinematographers' nominations in two television categories, announced Thursday.
Nominated in the episodic/pilot TV category for the 24th annual ASC Outstanding Achievement Awards are Eagle Egilsson for the "Venice Kings" episode of "Blue"; Jeffrey Jur for "The Gift" from "FlashForward"; Michael Price for "Betty's" "There's No Place Like Mode"; Christian Sebaldt for the "CSI" episode "Family Affair"; and Glen Winter for the "Savior" episode of "Smallville."
"The rapid evolution of high-definition televisions in homes has made the role cinematographers play in creating content for episodic television more challenging and more important than ever," ASC awards committee chairman Richard Crudo said.
In the TV movie/miniseries category, the nominees are Alar Kivilo for HBO's "Taking Chance"; Rene Ohashi for CBS's "Jesse Stone: Thin Ice," and Jerzy Zielinski...

HBO's Carnivale was shut out of the major acting and series categories in this year's Emmy race, but it led the pack Sunday night at the Creative Arts portion of the 56th annual Primetime Emmy Awards. The Dust Bowl-era drama about carnival workers picked up five trophies, including wins for single-camera series cinematography for Jeffrey Jur and nods in the categories of art direction for single-camera series, hairstyling for a series and costumes for a series during the ceremony, held at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles. HBO, which raked in a record 124 Emmy noms this year, was far and away the leader among the networks with 16 wins, followed by Fox and PBS with seven each, ABC and NBC with five each and A&E Network with four.
