Emmy Snubs: 'Atlanta,' 'The Handmaid's Tale' Shut Out in Major Categories

The critically acclaimed series both won awards at last weekend's Creative Arts ceremonies, but didn't take home any trophies on Monday night. While Game of Thrones, Saturday Night Live, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel and Ryan Murphy's Versace-centered second season of American Crime Story cleaned up Monday night at the 2018 Primetime Emmy Awards, a number of other multiple nominees went home empty-handed. Hulu's critically acclaimed series The Looming Tower and The Handmaid's Tale, last year's best drama series winner in the absence of Thrones, failed to collect any awards. Handmaid's Tale did win three honors at last weekend's Creative Arts Emmys ceremonies but failed to take home any prizes Monday night, including in the categories of best drama series and lead actress in a drama, both of which it won last year. Looming Tower, which was up for four Emmys, including for star Jeff Daniels, was completely shut out. Daniels did win an Emmy, but it was for ...

Elementary Boss Talks Finale's Big Move, Previews Season 7 Time Jump

Image
Warning: The following contains spoilers for Monday’s Elementary finale. Cheerio! Elementary wrapped up Season 6 on Monday night by moving Sherlock and Joan across the pond. So how did the duo find themselves in London? After discovering that Hannah killed Michael, and that Captain Gregson was protecting his daughter, Sherlock confessed to the murder to cover for prime suspect Joan. Rather than going to jail, the PI made a deal which allowed him to keep living and working in London… and his partner followed him to Baker Street! “When we come back in the seventh season, a year will have passed,” showrunner Rob Doherty reveals to TVLine. “So all of our characters will have had time to really reflect on what happened at the end of the sixth season.” Below, Doherty talks about the location twist, which was borne out of believing that the show was coming to an end — don’t worry, it’s not — and Sherlock and Joan’s feelings for each other.

Soon-Yi Previn Speaks Out About Woody Allen Marriage, Mia Farrow

Image
Clint Spaulding/WWD/REX/Shutterstock In her first-ever in-depth interview, Soon-Yi Previn defended her husband of 20 years, director Woody Allen, against the allegation he molested his adopted daughter, Dylan and accused her adoptive mother — and Allen’s ex — Mia Farrow, of being abusive. Allen and Farrow’s 12-year partnership came to an end in 1992, after it was revealed that he and Soon-Yi were having a sexual relationship. In the interview with New York magazine — written by Allen’s “friend of four decades,” Daphne Merkin — Soon-Yi suggests her attraction was ignited, in part, by Allen showing her affection that she claims Farrow never did. Soon-Yi insisted that Farrow “has taken advantage of the #MeToo movement and paraded Dylan as a victim” who she “pressured” to speak out; Dylan, meanwhile, told New York that Soon-Yi’s claim was “offensive” and “only serves to revictimize me.” Dylan’s claim that Allen — who formally became her adoptive father in December 1991 — touched ...

IOS 12 REVIEW: These iOS 12 features may improve your life

Image
Apple’s latest mobile OS update focuses on making things work, instead of adding new features OS 12 is officially available today, after months of betas both for developers and the general public, following its announcement at WWDC in June. And as is the case with Apple’s iOS updates, it’s coming to a huge range of iPhone and iPad devices, from this year’s latest iPhone XS all the way back to 2013’s iPhone 5S. And with every iOS update, there’s the question that comes up, especially for owners of older devices: “Should I install the new update? Or will it slow down my phone?” It’s been an urban legend for years that Apple intentionally crippled its older devices with software updates, to subtly encourage customers to upgrade to the latest and greatest model — something that was confirmed, at least in part, with the revelations about Apple’s battery throttling late last year. “SHOULD I INSTALL THE NEW UPDATE? OR WILL IT SLOW DOWN MY PHONE?” But iOS 12 is a very different s...

Packers benefit from Vikings' miscues, escape with 29-29 tie

Image
(Photo: Jim Matthews/USA TODAY NETWORK-Wis) GREEN BAY – Aaron Rodgers said a week ago that if you can play, and deal with pain, you should be out on the field. He backed that up again Sunday afternoon — with the aid of a brace on his left knee. But the Packers were given a gift of Vikings’ sloppiness to walk away without a loss in a 29-29 final at Lambeau Field. Vikings kicker Daniel Carlson missed three field goals — including two in overtime — allowing the Packers to swallow Mason Crosby’s own missed game-winner at the end of regulation. Games between good teams are decided by the smallest things and individual miscues by the Vikings on offense, defense and special teams led to big things for the Packers. Of the Vikings’ 13 offensive possessions, eight featured either penalty, a blocked punt, missed field goals, drops or a sack. Their four “clean” possessions led to touchdowns in regulation. Defensively, allowing Aaron Rodgers to run for seven yards on a 3rd...

Shark attacks and kills a man who was boogie-boarding at a Cape Cod beach

Image
By Alex Horton and Keith McMillan September 16 at 10:24 AM A man died Saturday afternoon from injuries suffered during a shark attack off Cape Cod, authorities said, the first fatal encounter in Massachusetts in eight decades. Bystanders pulled a 26-year-old man onto Newcomb Hollow Beach and performed CPR, Wellfleet Police Lt. Michael Hurley said in a statement. The man, who had been boogie-boarding with a friend, according to the Associated Press, was sent to Cape Cod Hospital, where he later died, Hurley said. The Boston Globe identified the victim as Arthur Medici, from Revere, Mass., a city just Northeast of Boston about a two-hour drive from Wellfleet. The National Park Service, which is responsible for that part of the Cape Cod National Seashore, tweeted that the attack took place about 300 yards south of the beach, and about 30 feet from shore, according to the Boston Herald. Cape Cod National Seashore said it closed access to the beach facing the sea. Hurle...
