Zoë Kravitz and Meghann Fahy are the year's biggest Emmy surprises: Poll
In our latest snap poll, readers said the bids for Zoë Kravitz and Meghann Fahy caused their jaws to drop the widest. Kravitz was previously snubbed at the Emmys for Big Little Lies, but she received sweet justice this week for portraying herself — at least, a fictionalized version of herself caught in a drug-related mishap — on The Studio. In all, the Apple TV+ show received 23 nominations, more than any other first-year comedy in Emmy history.

As for Fahy, she's a former Emmy nominee for The White Lotus whom awards pundits forecasted would be overlooked this year for the Netflix limited series Sirens. But that wasn't the case. She clearly wowed voters in her role of Devon DeWitt, a woman who tries to protect her younger sister Simone (Milly Alcock) from her billionaire boss Michaela Kell (Julianne Moore).
Poll results: What's your favorite Emmy surprise?
21 percent: Zoë Kravitz, The Studio
19 percent: Meghann Fahy, Sirens
17 percent: Survivor in Best Competition Program
15 percent: Paradise in Best Drama Supporting Actor/Actress
14 percent: Uzo Aduba, The Residence
11 percent: Colman Domingo, The Four Seasons
3 percent: The Gorge in Best TV Movie
Survivor shocked our readers by returning to the Best Competition Program category and knocking out perennial nominee The Voice. The granddaddy of all reality shows was initially nominated in this category from 2003 to 2006, then it took a 17-year break before returning in 2023, only to be snubbed again in 2024. Four-time winner Jeff Probst also made the cut for Best Reality Host, and this actually marks the first time in Emmy history that he and the show are nominated at the same time.
Paradise was predicted to nab a Best Drama Actor bid for Sterling K. Brown as inquisitive secret service agent Xavier Collins, which came true. However, it was a welcome surprise to see that two of his supporting cast members — Julianne Nicholson as the villainous Samantha "Sinatra" Redmond and James Marsden as the late President Cal Bradford — also showed up on Emmy nominations morning.
It's never wise to count out former Emmy winners like Nicholson, who previously prevailed for Mare of Easttown (2021), and that's also true of Uzo Aduba and Colman Domingo. They received respective noms for Best Comedy Actress in the recently canceled The Residence and Best Comedy Supporting Actor in the otherwise skunked The Four Seasons, years after appearing at the winner's podium. Aduba is a three-time champ for Orange is the New Black (2014, 2015) and Mrs. America (2020); Domingo took home a statuette for Euphoria (2022).
Finally, there's The Gorge, which beat the odds to show up in the Best TV Movie lineup. Scott Derrickson's original sci-fi film stars Miles Teller as Levi Kane and Anya Taylor-Joy as Drasa, two elite snipers tasked with guarding opposite sides of a deep gorge, unaware of what mysteries lie below. Though the actors were snubbed, Teller is nominated as a producer.

'Untamed': 'Yellowstone' Meets 'True Detective' In Detective Thriller That's Number One On Netflix
If you loved the Yellowstone universe for its sprawling landscapes and shots of untamed America as much as the drama, then Netflix has a new show for you - Untamed. Like many of the streaming platform's monster hits in recent times, Untamed has come from a relatively quiet release to storm to the top of the charts in the UK as its gained a word-of-mouth popularity with fans. The streaming giant this week said the show was also number one on the global top 10 English TV list, with 24.6million views so far. The show is co-created by Mark who also hit number one in January with his last show, American Primeval. Told across six parts, Untamed is led by Kyle Turner (played by Eric Bana), a special agent in an elite branch of the National Parks Service 'who works to enforce human law in nature's vast wilderness,' says Netflix's Tudum. 'The investigation of a brutal death sends Turner on a collision course with the dark secrets within the park, and in his own past.' The opening of things that go way deeper and darker than you might initially expect, give the show a True Detective quality that fans have loved. Co-creator Elle Smith told Tudum that the key to the show is Turner's co-investigator - Naya Vasquez (Lily Santiago), 'A rookie park ranger more accustomed to city life than to the wilds of Yosemite.' Smith says: 'Because Vasquez is new to the park, we get to see the park through her eyes. We get to understand what this job is, and see the beauty of the park, but also the dangers.' Yes, you can watch it at the top of this article. You're good to go - all six episodes of Untamed are available on Netflix now.

The upside down: Indiana Fever bring back Stranger Things jerseys with Season 5 coming soon
INDIANAPOLIS – Get ready to return to the upside down. The Indiana Fever are bringing back their "Stranger Things" themed jerseys for the second half of the season in anticipation of the final season of the Netflix show, which will release later this year and is based in fictional Hawkins, Indiana. The jerseys, which quickly became fan favorites when they were first released in 2021, are black with red speckles on the jerseys and shorts. Fever is written in the "Stranger Things" font on the front, and it has accents of the claws of the show's monster, the Demogorgon, as well as 011 on the waistband in recognition of one of the main characters, Eleven. 'This jersey represents the fierce spirit of our team and the fearless energy of 'Stranger Things' — two forces that never back down,' Fever COO and GM Amber Cox said in a statement. 'As we celebrate our team and the cultural phenomenon that is 'Stranger Things', we're thrilled to bring back this awesome collaboration with Netflix.' The jerseys are already on sale online as of 8 a.m., Wednesday, and they will be available in the team store as well. The Fever will reintroduce the jerseys Thursday against the Las Vegas Aces and wear them six more times this season: July 30 vs. Phoenix, Aug. 9 vs. Chicago, Aug. 12 vs. Dallas, Aug 26 vs. Seattle, Aug. 29 at Los Angeles, and Sept. 9 vs. Minnesota.

Guillermo del Toro's ‘Frankenstein,' Benny Safdie's ‘The Smashing Machine,' Kathryn Bigelow's ‘A House of Dynamite' Among Stellar Venice Lineup
Oscar season starts here. With its 2025 line-up, announced Tuesday, the Venice Film Festival has (again) taken the award season pole position, with a program packed with a frankly absurd number of must-see movies. More from The Hollywood Reporter BBC Studios Unscripted Boss on Tom Hanks, Stanley Tucci Series and the Recipe for U.S. Success Busan Film Festival to Honor Jafar Panahi as Asian Filmmaker of the Year 'Dune' VFX House DNEG's Immersive Experiences Unit Names NBCU's Jeff Lehman Exec Producer (Exclusive) Among the hot awards titles heading to the Lido are Benny Safdie's The Smashing Machine, from A24, featuring Dwayne Johnson as two‑time UFC heavyweight champion Mark Kerr and Emily Blunt as his wife Dawn; Luca Guadagnino's #MeToo–inspired thriller After the Hunt, for Amazon MGM Studios, starring Julia Roberts, Andrew Garfield and Ayo Edebiri, will premiere out of competition; and Guillermo del Toro's dark reimagining of Frankenstein, featuring Jacob Elordi, Oscar Isaac and Mia Goth, a Netflix production. This will mark the Venice festival debut for both Roberts and Johnson. Netflix, which sat out Vence last year, is back in force for 2025. Alongside Frankenstein, the streamer has Noah Baumbach's comedy‑drama Jay Kelly, co-written with Emily Mortimer, and headlined by George Clooney, premiering in competition, and Kathryn Bigelow's ticking bomb geopolitical thriller A House of Dynamite, starring Idris Elba, Rebecca Ferguson, Greta Lee, Gabriel Basso, and Jared Harris. The Venice line-up is an embarrassment of riches, for award-watchers and regular film fans alike, with the competition selection including the latest from A-list auteurs Park Chan-wook (No Other Choice), François Ozon (L'Etranger), and Laszlo Nemes (Orphan). A year after Brady Corbet's The Brutalist launched in Venice, en route to three Oscar wins, the film's co-writer (and producer) Mona Fastvold arrives in competition with The Testament of Ann Lee, a historical drama musical film starring Lewis Pullman, Amanda Seyfried, and Tim Blake Nelson, that she co-wrote with Corbet. The Voice of Hind Rajab, the new film from Four Daughters director Kaouther Ben Hania, is certain to be one of the most talked-about films in Venice this year. The film tells the true story of Hind Rajab, a 6-year-old girl who, on January 29, 2024, was trapped in a car on fire in Gaza. She called Red Crescent emergency workers, who kept her on the line while they tried to get an ambulance to her. The Party Film Sales is handling worldwide sales on the film and co-representing North American rights with CAA Media Finance. Another politically-charged title in competition is Olivier Assayas' The Wizard of the Kremlin, starring Jude Law as Vladimir Putin and Paul Dano as the fictional Kremlin insider Vadim Baranov. Yorgos Lanthimos, a Venice Golden Lion winner for Poor Things, returns in competition with Bugonia, an adaptation of Jang Joon-Hwan's 2003 South Korean sci-fi film Save the Green Planet!, featuring his frequent collaborator Emma Stone. Focus Features will release the film stateside, with Universal Pictures handling internationally outside of Korea, where CJ ENM will release. And iconic indie director Jim Jarmusch, a Cannes regular, will bring his latest to the Lido this year, premiering Mubi's Father Mother Sister Brother, a triptych with an all-star ensemble cast including Cate Blanchett, Adam Driver, Indya Moore, Vicky Krieps, Tom Waits, Luka Sabbat, and Charlotte Rampling. The 82nd Venice competition line-up also includes the latest from A-list auteurs Park Chan-wook (No Other Choice), François Ozon (L'Etranger), and Laszlo Nemes (Orphan) Italian Oscar-winning Paolo Sorrentino (The Great Beauty) will open this year's festival with La Grazia (Grace), a love story starring his long-time collaborator Toni Servillo. La Grazia, co-starring Diamonds actor Anna Ferzetti, will premiere in competition on Aug. 27. Mubi picked up the film ahead of its Venice bow. Dog 51, a new action-packed French sci-fi thriller from Bac Nord director Cedric Jimenez will close the festival, out of competition. Gus Van Sant's return to feature films, Dead Man's Wire, starring Bill Skarsgard, will also screen out of competition. Other out-of-competition highlights include Anders Thomas Jensen's Danish dark comedy The Last Viking starring Mads Mikkelsen, Julian Schnabel's long-awaited The Hand of Dante, and Scarlet, the first anime feature in four years from Japanese master Mamoru Hosoda. Venice has selected four TV series for its small-screen sidebar: Etty, a limited series from Israeli showrunner Hagai Levi (In Treatment, The Affair), loosely based on the diary of Dutch Jewish writer Etty Hillesum, starring Julia Windischbauer and Sebastian Koch, which Studio TF1 is selling worldwide; Portobello, the first Italian original production for HBO Max in which Italian director Marco Bellocchio (The Traitor), follows the true story of the downfall of one of Italy's most beloved TV hosts; Studiocanal's A Prophet – The Series, a TV reboot of Jacques Audiard's classic French prison drama from 2009, directed by Enrico Maria Artale; and Il Mostro (The Monster), a true-life serial-killer drama from Gomorrah series director, Stefano Sollima, made for Netflix. This year's Golden Lion career achievement honorees are legendary German director Werner Herzog (Fitzcarraldo, Grizzly Man) and Vertigo star Kim Novak. Venice's Classic sidebar, which includes a selection on documentaries about cinema, this year includes Mike Figgis' Megadoc, a behind-the-scenes look at Francis Ford Coppola's decades-in-the-making Megalopolis. Two-time Oscar-winner Alexander Payne heads up this year's competition jury as president, and together with international film talents including Brazilian actress Fernanda Torres, Iranian director Mohammad Rasoulof, French director Stéphane Brizé, Italian director Maura Delpero, Chinese actress Zhao Tao, and Romanian director Cristian Mungiu, will pick the 2025 Golden Lion winner.
