The Emmys can’t catch a break.
While other award ceremonies have managed to bounce back (at least slightly) from their pandemic lows, the 75th Emmy Awards hit another depressing milestone. Only 4.3M viewers watched Monday night’s ceremony on Fox, according to early Nielsen data.
That’s a significant decrease from last year’s previous all-time low, when less than 6M people tuned in for the show on NBC. The awards show was also down more than 37% from the last time the Emmys aired on Fox in 2019, when the audience sank to a then-historic low of 6.9M.
All of the above were much lower than the last Monday night ceremony in 2018, when NBC raked in 10.17M viewers.
Fox is still calling it a bit of a win, since the ceremony marks the network’s most-watched Monday unscripted telecast in more than eight years. It’s...

The 2023 Emmy Awards finally took place on Monday night, with series like The Bear, Beef and Succession winning big.
The ceremony, hosted by Anthony Anderson and held at the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles, was postponed for months due to the Hollywood writers’ and actors’ strikes. Thus, to be considered for an award, a television show, limited series or made-for-tv film must have been released between June 1, 2022, and May 31, 2023.
The National Active Members of the Television Academy voted on the awards from August 18 to August 28, 2023.
Succession walked away with seven wins for its final season, including Best Drama and recognition for actors Kieran Culkin, Sarah Snook and Matthew Macfadyen. The show also received awards for Best Directing for a Drama Series for Mark Mylod and Best Writing for a Drama Series for Jesse Armstrong.

There’s “HBO Max” and then there’s everyone else.
On the backs of Succession and The Last of Us, HBO and its streaming counterpart Max led the list of winners at Monday’s 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards. While the TV Academy ceased breaking out wins by platform, The Hollywood Reporter tallied up all the trophies from two nights of Creative Emmys as well as the Primetime ceremony and the Warner Bros. Discovery-backed HBO and Max easily topped rival Netflix with 31 statuettes.
Streaming giant Netflix finished second — again — with 22 wins thanks in large part to Beef’s sweep of the limited series category.

Elton John is the latest member of the Egot club: the beloved singer-songwriter just won an award for Outstanding Live Variety Special at the 75th annual Emmys, rounding out an impressive collection of trophies celebrating his five-plus decade career.
John won the trophy for "Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium," a concert movie set at the same stadium where he famously donned a glittery silver baseball uniform to play to a sold-out crowd in October 1975. In 2022, Disney+ live-streamed John's final North American show on his "Farewell Yellow Brick Road" tour, which went on to become the highest-grossing tour of all time, per Billboard.
The musician reached Egot status 37 years after receiving his first Grammy win, for the song "That's What Friends Are For." Since 1987, the artist has won several additional Grammys (including for "Can You Feel The Love Tonight" and "Candle in the Wind 1997"), Oscars for the aforementioned "Lion King...

Amy Poehler and Tina Fey surprised audiences during the 75th Annual Primetime Emmy Awards by returning to the “Weekend Update” desk. The longtime collaborators returned to the Emmys stage Monday night to present the Emmy for Outstanding Variety Special (Live).
True to form, the duo had a specially crafted quip for each of the nominees. When it came time to list the Apple Music Super Bowl 57 Halftime Show Starring Rihanna, Fey referred to the Fox event as “The concert so good it got us all pregnant,” a nod to Rihanna performing while pregnant.
As for the rest of the nominees, Poehler called ABC’s broadcast of The Oscars “The only show that’s longer than when they aired ‘Titanic’ with commercials on TBS.” The “Parks and Recreation” star also joked that Elton John has “E-got to be excited” for the nomination for his Disney+ special, “Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium,...

Elton John won an Emmy Award on Monday for his 2022 Disney+ special “Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium” – and with the trophy John became the 19th person to achieve an Egot. The terms stands for competitive victories of Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, and Tony awards.
Recovering from an knee operation, John was not present at the ceremony to pick up his Emmy. The award was accepted by winning producer Ben Winston, onstage along with John’s husband, producer David Furnish.
But in statement John said, “I am incredibly humbled to be joining the unbelievably talented group of Egot winners tonight.

As Amy Poehler said before announcing John as the winner of the Outstanding Variety Special (Live) award, he’s “Egot to be excited”.

The making of the Rolling Stones’ forthcoming album, “Hackney Diamonds,” is explored in a new one-hour TV documentary, “The Stones: Still Rolling,” produced by Fulwell 73 and Mercury Studios. Mercury is looking to sell the project at Mipcom, taking place this week in Cannes.
The TV doc is described as “a rare glimpse of the Rolling Stones as they power forward” that is “told vividly through a first-ever roundtable conversation between the band (members)… giving viewers access to places they have never been.”
Director Paul Dugdale is coming off the recent success of “Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium” and “Adele: One Night Only.” Previous Dugdale credits include “Taylor Swift: Reputation Stadium Tour” and “Coldplay: Music of the Spheres — Live at River Plate.”

Just four days after wrapping his record-smashing, 330-show “Farewell Yellow Brick Road” tour, legendary musician Elton John received his very first Emmy nomination for headlining Disney+’s “Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium.” Given the program’s status as the clear frontrunner in this year’s Best Live Variety Special race, its Grammy, Oscar, and Tony-winning star is well on his way to finally joining the exclusive Egot club.
In order for John to reach this massive milestone, his special will have to win against “Chris Rock: Selective Outrage” and the latest editions of the Oscars, Tonys, and Super Bowl Halftime Show. Since Rock and all three of said institutions have been honored by the TV academy before, every nominee in this lineup should be considered a serious threat.
To determine what advantages the other contenders might have over “Elton John Live,” let’s take a closer look at each nominee.

Please Note: This forecast, assembled by The Hollywood Reporter’s executive editor of awards coverage Scott Feinberg, reflects his best attempt to predict the behavior of the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences, not his personal preferences. He arrives at these standings by drawing upon consultations with voters and strategists, analysis of marketing and campaigns, results of awards that precede the Emmys and the history of the Emmys itself.

Despite appearances on television throughout the past five decades, Sir Elton John just received his first ever Emmy Awards nomination. His Disney+ program “Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium” is nominated for Best Variety Special (Live). A win would elevate him into a legendary Egot champion, the 19th person to join that exclusive club.
Nominees in this category are “Super Bowl Lvii Halftime Show Starring Rihanna,” “Chris Rock: Selective Outrage,” “The Oscars” and “75th Annual Tony Awards.”
The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame member already has two Oscars for Best Original Song (“Can You Feel the Love Tonight?” from “The Lion King” in 1994; and I’m Gonna Love Me Again” from “Rocketman” in 2019). He won a Tony Award for the original score of “Aida” in 2000. And he’s a five-time Grammy Award winner for “That’s What Friends Are For” (1987), “Basque” (1992), “Can You Feel the Love Tonight” (1995), “Candle...

Rihanna could score a touchdown at the 2023 Emmy Awards: The pop star is nominated for her explosive Super Bowl performance, where she debuted her baby bump and broke the internet.
Rihanna’s halftime show earned five Emmy nominations — and she specifically scored a bid for outstanding variety special (live), which she shares with executive producer Jay-Z. The rap mogul is also nominated for outstanding directing for a variety special, which he shares with Hamish Hamilton.
Jay-Z, along with Dr. Dre, Snoop Dogg, Eminem, Mary J. Blige, Kendrick Lamar and 50 Cent, won outstanding variety special (live) last year for the 2022 Super Bowl halftime performance.
Elton John, Selena Gomez, Lizzo, Ed Sheeran, Dolly Parton and Kid Cudi were among the pop stars who also scored Emmy nominations Wednesday.
John will compete with Rihanna and Jay-Z for outstanding variety special (live), and if he wins, the Oscar, Grammy and Tony winner will become an Egot.

A version of this story about “Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium” first appeared in the variety/talk section of the Comedy Series issue of TheWrap’s awards magazine.
Elton John’s mammoth farewell tour has been going on for five years with Covid interruptions, but it hit a peak of sorts last November with three shows at Dodger Stadium in Los Angeles, his final American shows ever. The last of those became the first-ever livestream on Disney+, “Elton John Live: Farewell From Dodger Stadium.” The rock icon spoke about the show along with David Furnish, John’s partner and the executive producer of the special via Rocket Entertainment.
Obviously, Elton, you have many decades of experience making a concert satisfying for the live audience. Does it change things when you have to consider a viewing audience as well?
Elton John: Well, I’ve never done this kind of thing before.

Fair warning to certain right-wing politicians. Deadline’s Contenders Television: Documentary + Unscripted virtual event, which kicks off its 2023 edition Saturday beginning at 9 a.m. Pt, will feature the appearance of … (dramatic pause) … drag queens.

Television academy members joined Elton John for a screening of his Disney+ variety special “Elton John Live: Farewell from Dodger Stadium” on Monday, March 13th at the Samuel Goldwyn Theater. The viewing was followed by a joyous Q&a with John’s co-executive producers David Furnish, Ben Winston and Luke Lloyd Davies hosted by TCM’s Dave Karger.
The concert event took place November 20, 2022 in Dodger Stadium, where in 1975 John performed two sold-out and career-defining concerts that cemented his legend globally. In a full circle moment, he took the stage in his final North American show as part of his Farewell Yellow Brick Road tour.

In the past year, Netflix has changed its mind about almost all of its most fundamental tenets; from adding advertising to cutting back on password-sharing, things are undoubtedly changing for the world’s largest streaming service. One arena where Netflix has also changed its long-held beliefs is in regards to live programming, with the streamer airing its first live event with a brand-new stand-up special from Chris Rock over the weekend. The special, entitled “Chris Rock: Selective Outrage,” drew enough viewers to place it among the top 10 shows in the United States on the streaming service, all but ensuring Netflix will continue to explore live events.

Only an elite group of 19 artists so far have achieved Egot status, winning an Emmy, Grammy, Oscar and Tony.
The rare and coveted Egot is not easy to come by, so it’s not surprising that fewer than two dozen have achieved this status. And while the artists don’t get a final Egot trophy when it happens, its nonetheless one of show business’ greatest honors.
So, who does have the Egot?
Andrew Lloyd Webber, John Legend, Tim Rice, Rita Moreno, Audrey Hepburn, Mel Brooks, Mike Nichols, Whoopi Goldberg, Helen Hayes, Marvin Hamlisch, Robert Lopez, Richard Rodgers, John Gielgud, Jonathan Tunick, Alan Menken, Jennifer Hudson, Viola Davis and Scott Rudin are those who have won all four awards competitively.
While Barbra Streisand, James Earl Jones, Harry Belafonte, Quincy Jones and Liza Minnelli have all received honorary non-competitive awards, not everyone considers them to be Egot achievements.
