Charley Gilleran has had a 30-year career as a rigging key grip, moving between superhero blockbusters like “Iron Man” and Oscar winners such as “No Country for Old Men.” This weekend, he plans to vote to ratify the new contract negotiated by his union, the International Alliance of Theatrical Stage Employees.
The deal, announced on Oct. 16, averted what would have been the first national strike in the union’s 128-year history. Many members are against it, but Gilleran is voting yes because it protects the health and pension plans while providing a 54-hour rest period on weekends.
“I feel we negotiated in good faith, and we can’t keep going back and changing our minds,” he said. “I think our negotiating team did the best they could given the circumstances.”
But his 22-year-old daughter, Maeve Gilleran, is planning to vote no. She joined the union this year and thinks the...

After winning a Critics Choice Award earlier this year, Michael Kenneth Williams (“Lovecraft Country”) entered Emmy season as a front-runner. And it would be a historic victory as there still have been no Black winners for Best Drama Supporting Actor — ever. But with only one of last year’s eight nominees eligible to return, this race is far from a done deal. And the Expert journalists we’ve surveyed from major media outlets are divided.
Williams has four previous Emmy nominations: three for Best Movie/Limited Supporting Actor and one for Best Informational Program as a producer (“Vice”). He has yet to win, but 14 Experts think this is his year.

“If you watch the first 40 minutes of it, you think you’re watching a version of ‘Green Book’ … and suddenly giant man-eating monsters come out and rip people’s heads off,” says “Lovecraft Country” editor Marta Evry about the complex tonal shifts in the HBO series, which layers a supernatural mystery on top of the everyday horrors of American racism in the 1950s. Watch our exclusive video interview with Evry and her fellow editors Bjørn T. Myrholt and Ian S. Tan above.

“The hardest part about this was really balancing two things,” Evry adds about combining the show’s historical and metaphorical elements, which she had to tackle right from the get-go when she came in to edit the premiere episode, “Sundown.” That was certainly also true for Myrholt, one of whose episodes was “I Am,...

In an era of “auteur television,” where nearly every show can point to a head of state running the show, Season 2 of Amazon’s “The Man in the High Castle” is “a republic.”
That’s in the words of executive producer David Zucker, when asked at the Television Critics Association press tour about the complicated alternate reality show’s recent behind-the-scenes drama. Originally developed by former “X-Files” producer Frank Spotnitz from Philip K. Dick’s 1963 novel, Spotnitz exited the job of showrunner midway through the production of this season.

Showrunner departures aren’t necessarily unusual, but they don’t tend to happen publicly while a show is still in production, and usually another producer or producers are designated to inherit the title. “House of Cards” Season 5, for example, will be run by Melissa James Gibson and Frank Pugliese,...

In a 24-hour news cycle where everyone with a cell phone camera can be a photojournalist, fake pictures are bound to surface and circulate in the wake of a natural disaster -- and Hurricane Sandy, which hit the Northeast on Monday, certainly inspired its share.
Some of the photos making the rounds via Twitter and Facebook are purely fictional, while others were nabbed from other events and attributed to Sandy.
Take a look at some of the more memorable photo fakes from Hurricane Sandy so far:
This picture, taken by photographer Karin Markert, is a real photo -- from September.
Amazing Photo: Even a hurricane won't keep the honor guard from the Tomb of the Unknown Soldier this morning.#Sandy twitter.com/venice4change/...
