Kaitlin Olson won over legions of fans with the zany comedy “It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia,” but her go-for-broke performance never caught on with Emmy voters. Luckily, the TV academy made it up to the actress with a Best Short Form Actress nomination for “Flipped” in 2020, but Olson has finally earned a nomination for a full-length series this year, for Best Comedy Guest Actress for her role as DJ in HBO Max’s “Hacks.” Can this longtime comedy favorite finally score a win?
Emmy voters clearly love this series as “Hacks” managed to grab a whopping four nominations in this category. In addition to Olson, Jane Adams, Laurie Metcalf and Harriet Sansom Harris are also nominated. Adams and Olson are reprising characters they played in Season 1, while Metcalf and Harris are new additions to the ensemble. Five-time Emmy winner Jane Lynch (“Only Murders in the Building”) and three-time nominee Harriet Walter...

Actress Kaitlin Olson had no idea that Emmy nominations were being announced on July 12, so when “Hacks” co-creators Lucia Aniello, Paul W. Downs and Jen Statsky called to congratulate her on her nomination they caught her by surprise. “It was really nice that they broke the news to me,” shares the actress, who received the recognition for her guest-starring role as DJ, the daughter of Jean Smart’s Las Vegas comedienne Deborah Vance. She adds, “It’s such a special role. I love playing her daughter.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.
Olson appeared in two episodes in the series’ second season and submitted the premiere “There Will Be Blood” for Emmy consideration. The actress picked the episode because it “shows how broken she is and how nervous she is, how much she actually really loves her husband and cares about this family.” In the installment, DJ reveals to Deborah...

The new James Bond film “No Time to Die” will open in Australia on Nov. 11 due to “changes specific to the Australian marketplace impacted by Covid,” according to MGM.
Most patrons would not have been able to see the Daniel Craig film in theaters, since more than 60% of the Australian marketplace is currently in a state of lockdown, which the government mandated will remain in place until 70% of the population is vaccinated. Businesses will be allowed to function normally after the country reaches an 80% vaccination rate, which is estimated to be in mid-November.
“No Time to Die” was originally set to open in Australia as well as in the U.K. on Sept. 30, a week ahead of the U.S. release date which is still set for Oct. 8.
Location Managers Awards Nominees Announced
The nominees for the 8th Annual Location Managers Guild International (Lmgi) Awards were announced today by Lmgi President John Rakich/Lmgi.

On Saturday, the creators and stars of HBO Max’s hit comedy Hacks appeared virtually at the Atx TV Festival to unpack Season 1 and tease Season 2.

“I think ultimately, while we don’t know the specifics, what we set out to do in this story is to set Ava, Deborah and everyone in their ecosystem on a road to redemption and emotional happiness,” said co-creator, co-showrunner, EP, writer and star Paul W.
