Movies

it's Amazon's headache working out which US awards they qualify for. There's also a BBC podcast and teaching materials.

So it's not just film/TV.

My tiny bit was aiding people arranging the many UK cinema screenings.

Variety: Theory crafting a possible Small Axe pivot to Oscars (but this would disqualify for Emmys) notfabio Dec 22, 14:18

It's kind of odd that Sylvie's Love is also being pushed for Emmys... but the Borat sequel, which is getting the same sort of release.... TheWeekendWarrior Dec 22, 14:21

Sylie's Love is one movie. Small Axe is an anthology series of FIVE movies. {nm} Antibody Dec 22, 14:22

So just put Mangrove which is two hours long up for Oscars. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 22, 14:46

SMCQU made the movies for television, for BBC, not for Oscars. {nm} Antibody Dec 22, 14:49

Tell that to ESPN who scammed an OJ mini-series into winning Best Doc at the Oscars. {nm} TheWeekendWarrior Dec 22, 14:54

Why would Amazon want to upset SMCQU? The Oscars changed their rules. {nm} Antibody Dec 22, 14:55

In fact, I asked McQueen about this very matter MONTHS ago when I interviewed him. A direct quote: TheWeekendWarrior Dec 22, 14:57

RS: "Finally, you’ve been adamant that these are films, not television. Amazon is submitting these to the Emmys as a limited series. What ki Antibody Dec 22, 15:00

My ears are burning. I've had a tiny bit of involvement on them but I know 3 were shown at film festivals before they went on TV. {nm} RufusS Dec 22, 15:25

TV movies have premiree at festivals before.See the RS interview. "These films were made for television. They can be projected in cinema." {nm} Antibody Dec 22, 15:56

I should also add it was the TV drama dept that commissioned the films, but the film department was also involved. {nm} RufusS Dec 22, 16:43

BORAT 2 screened in theaters and Maria Bakalova is a likely Oscar nominee for Best Supporting Actress. {nm} Antibody Dec 22, 14:26

Yep, Borat 2 had Drive-In runs. {nm} notfabio Dec 22, 14:30

"Under the current rules, it doesn’t seem possible." {nm} Antibody Dec 22, 14:21

Sounds like Small Axe as a whole can't (ESPN OJ rule about re-editing) the individual "films" might, but it's remote at best. {nm} notfabio Dec 22, 14:28

That and they would disqualify themselves for Emmys. {nm} notfabio Dec 22, 14:29
