Emmy wins prove "modern" families are U.S. hits
NEW YORK - Gay marriage and interracial adoptions can be divisive topics across America, but a new crop of TV shows and films showing "modern" families are winning audiences and awards. Television show "Modern Family" won the best comedy series Emmy on Sunday. "Glee" was also honored and new films such as "The Kids Are All Right" and documentaries are finding that families outside the mom, dad and two kids norm can make decent financial returns.
Emmy viewership rises slightly from year ago
LOS ANGELES - The primetime Emmy awards telecast on Sunday night was watched by 13.5 million U.S. viewers, up slightly from a total audience of 13.3 million that tuned-in one year ago for U.S. television's top honors. The show, which aired on the NBC network, was hosted by Jimmy Fallon and was advanced roughly one month to August from mid-September, when it traditionally has been broadcast, to avoid competition with popular football broadcasts.
First-timers and new shows shake up Emmy awards
LOS ANGELES - It was out with the old and in with the new at the Primetime Emmy awards on Sunday, with a slew of first-timers and new shows shaking up the U.S. television industry's highest honors. Period advertising drama "Mad Men" and actor Bryan Cranston who plays a teacher turned drug dealer in "Breaking Bad" were among a handful of repeat winners at a three-hour ceremony broadcast live from Los Angeles.
Mel Gibson movie appeal little changed by tapes: poll
NEW YORK - Mel Gibson may be suffering one of the worst media scandals of his career, but a new poll shows it is having a relatively small impact on the movie star's box office appeal. In a 60 Minutes/Vanity Fair poll released on Monday. more than three quarters of Americans said they would not be affected by audiotapes of phone calls, widely reported to be Gibson ranting at his estranged ex-girlfriend, when deciding whether to see one of the Oscar winner's films.
HBO leads Emmys pack, powered by "Temple Grandin"
LOS ANGELES - HBO again grabbed the most prizes at the Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, but the premium cable network's little TV movie "Temple Grandin" stole the thunder of its $200 million-plus miniseries "The Pacific." "Temple Grandin," the decidedly uncommercial true story of an autistic woman who revolutionizes slaughterhouses, ended up with seven awards, including three acting honors. With 15 nominations, it enjoyed one of the best success rates.
New faces keep Emmys broadcast fresh
LOS ANGELES - Sunday's Emmy Awards provided an easily overlooked reminder that the best method for energizing an awards show is the one thing producers can't engineer: upset victories. The tsunami of new winners that swept key categories notorious for stale sameness helped keep momentum going well past the inspired opening musical number featuring host Jimmy Fallon, who didn't stay sharp as the evening wore on.
George Clooney wins humanitarian award at Emmys
LOS ANGELES - George Clooney on Sunday added another trophy to his Oscar, two Golden Globes and slew of movie critics awards -- but this one had nothing to do with acting. Clooney was presented with the Bob Hope Humanitarian Award at the Primetime Emmy Awards for his work to raise awareness of the crisis in Darfur, and fund-raising efforts for causes ranging from Hurricane Katrina to the Haiti earthquake and the victims of the September 11 2001 attacks on New York and Washington DC.
"30 Rock" crushed at Emmys
LOS ANGELES - Like the struggling NBC network it satirizes, "30 Rock" foundered at the Primetime Emmy Awards on Sunday, a year after winning six prizes including best comedy. The NBC sitcom failed to win a single prize this time, despite receiving 15 nominations, tied for fourth among all contenders.
"Last Exorcism" edges out "Takers" at box office
LOS ANGELES - "The Last Exorcism" beat fellow newcomer "Takers" by just $300,000 to end the two-week reign of Sylvester Stallone's "The Expendables" at the weekend box office in North America on Sunday. With the lucrative summer moviegoing season ending next weekend, the A-list blockbusters have ceded the spotlight to a late influx of low-budget genre pictures vying for a last-minute piece of the action.
Lennon's toilet sells for $14,740 at UK auction
LONDON at auction on Saturday, around 10 times its estimate, the sale organizers said. Lennon, who was murdered in New York in 1980, had the porcelain lavatory removed from Tittenhurst Park in Berkshire, southern England, where he lived from 1969 to 1971, and replaced with a new one.
