Why the Emmys still matter in a time of turmoil
The 77th Emmys nominations have been announced and given the state of just about everything, it's easy not to care. Our current president is dismantling large portions of the federal government and offering new tax breaks to folks like those portrayed behaving badly in 'The White Lotus.' Flash floods, a potential measles epidemic and ongoing bloody wars in Ukraine and the Middle East seem to echo the pre-apocalyptic drumbeats from 'Paradise.' Masked federal ICE agents, who look like they could be part of the Federal Disaster Response Agency from 'The Last of Us,' roam the streets of Los Angeles, arresting people who might not have the right documentation and taking them to detention centers that appear to be right out of 'The Handmaid's Tale.' Television itself is in a state of freefall, with streaming prices rising even as the number of new series sharply declines, and though 'The Studio' makes it seem as if L.A. remains the geographic center of the entertainment business, the city's increasingly empty soundstages and unemployed production workers tell another story. So given that many Americans might very well agree to work for 'Severance's' sinister Lumon Industries if it guaranteed a decent paycheck and healthcare benefits, it seems impossible to gin up excitement about how many nominations HBO/Max, Netflix, Apple TV+ or any other entertainment conglomeration with an obscenely overpaid CEO received this year. Except, you know, Jeff Hiller, whose amazing midlife breakout role as nakedly sincere Joel in 'Somebody Somewhere' finally got the nomination it deserved. Or Jenny Slate, who deftly spun plates of hilarity, humanity and pathos in 'Dying for Sex.' Stripped of his good looks and seductive accent, Colin Farrell still managed to mesmerize in 'The Penguin,' which not only resuscitated an exhausted genre but took it to a new level of storytelling. From its 15-year-old star to its risky single-shot direction and unsettlingly resonant themes, the limited series 'Adolescence' was as close to perfection as a piece of television gets. Jean Smart ('Hacks'), Kathy Bates ('Matlock') and Catherine O'Hara ('The Studio') continue to prove the absurdity of Hollywood's traditional sidelining of women over 40, while 'Abbott Elementary' reminds us just how good a traditional broadcast comedy can be. Artistic awards of any kind are inevitably absurd — how does one relatively small group of people decide what is 'best' — and given the amount and diversity of television, the Emmys are more absurd than most. According to Television Academy chairman Cris Abrego, this was a record-breaking year in terms of voter turnout. Even so, it's difficult to see categories dominated by one or two shows and not wonder how much TV the voting members managed to watch. If it were just a question of judging shows on submitted episodes, there would be no need for pricey FYC campaigns after all. But the Emmys matter because television is art. And art matters. Even if it involves complaining about how ridiculous this year's choices are, the nominations give us an opportunity to talk about art — what touched/impressed/moved/changed us, or not. What comforted us, disturbed us, made us laugh or look at things just a little differently and why. That's important, especially now when so much is in a constant state of upheaval, when everywhere we look people are questioning the future of democracy, civilization, the planet. Television can be used as an escape from 'real life' — and heaven knows we could all use some of that — but it's existence, and our appreciation of it, is very much part of that real life. Art is a hallmark of civilization. It's proof that we have evolved beyond the basic instincts of survival, that we understand the necessity of stories, images and music, and that we encourage their creation and appreciate the existence of even those things we personally do not perceive as great or even good. Even as Peak TV gives way to the age of contraction, television remains one of our most universally experienced artforms. At its most basic level, it's about curiosity — we watch television, whether it's 'Slow Horses,' 'The Pitt' or 'The Traitors' — to see what other people are up to, what they feel, say and do in a wide variety of circumstances and if we would feel, say or do something similar. So yeah, the Emmys are not as important as ICE raids, flash floods, children dying of measles or the vanishing social safety net. When climate change has made the world so hot that the World Cup is under threat, it's easy to consider conversations about why 'Squid Game' or the final season of 'The Handmaid's Tale' received no major nominations, or how academy members could nominate Martin Short and not Steve Martin for 'Only Murders in the Building,' a complete waste of time. Until you consider the alternative. Because the day we stop celebrating and arguing about art is the day we'll know the bastards have won.

Adam Scott severs himself from hype, which makes Emmys recognition for ‘Severance' a ‘delight'
Dystopian drama 'Severance' captured the imagination of overworked Americans when it depicted an employee revolt against an oppressive corporation. Now the series and its lead, Adam Scott, are being recognized by the Television Academy. On Tuesday, Scott was nominated for lead actor in a drama for his role as Mark Scout in the dark, sci-fi thriller. The Apple TV+ series is the most nominated show this year, landing 27 nods for its second season, including for drama series. In Scott's category, the competition features actors previously nominated for Emmys, including Sterling K. Brown for 'Paradise,' Gary Oldman for 'Slow Horses,' Pedro Pascal for 'The Last of Us' and Noah Wyle for 'The Pitt.' In the series, Scott's Mark S. is a macrodata refinement manager employed by the biotechnology corporation Lumon Industries. In order to work in the highly secretive complex, the mild mannered manager and his co-workers have undergone a 'severance procedure.' Their brains have been surgically altered, dividing their work life and home life into separate consciousness described by the company as 'innies' and 'outies.' The trouble begins when the line between realms starts to blur. Show creator Dan Erickson, executive producer and primary director Ben Stiller were also nominated, as were Britt Lower, Tramell Tillman, Zach Cherry, John Turturro, Patricia Arquette and Gwendoline Christie in the acting categories. Scott, who is also an executive producer on the show, spoke with The Times about the recognition, the series and how he separates himself from his work. 'Severance' has broken through in a way that I don't think anyone expected when it first arrived in 2022. It's a smart, heady show that requires some brain power. Now Season 2 leads the Emmy nominations. The feeling is incredible. I just am always sort of at a default position of nothing's going to happen, and I need to be braced for disappointment. I think that's a healthy disposition for a career in show business, and then I'll be delightfully surprised if anything goes in a different direction. I try not to read any of the stuff, the prognosticating. I stay away from it and keep it out of my head as much as possible, and then something like this [nomination] is just a pure delight. I love the idea that you block out the hype and conjecture around the show. It's a form of self-severance. It's true. I've been at this for 30 years now so I think that I've found ways to keep myself healthy, as much as possible, anyway. For me, that's just trying to sever myself from anything beyond keeping my head down and trying to do the best work possible. Clearly it's a tactic that's paid off, for you and your fellow cast mates. I'm so honored for our show to be recognized and to be on a list with everyone else — Britt and Tramell. Zach and John and Patricia and Merritt [Wever] and Gwendoline. And Ben and Jessica [Lee Gagné] and Dan. His wonderful script is being recognized. We work so hard on the show, every single one of us. It's a team effort, as any show is, but our show takes a lot of time. So getting recognized for that hard work is really gratifying, And there's something redeeming about such a smart show breaking through in such stupid times. [Laughs] Thank you. 'Severance' is sort of this intangible thing, so we work really hard to make it happen. While we're making the show and while Dan and the writers are putting it together, there's sort of this invisible third rail. You're not sure exactly what it is, but when it feels right, it's like OK, there's our show. It's a specific feeling, a specific tone that we're seeking out and sometimes it takes a while to zero in and find it. It's an original story that Dan came up with and it's very weird. For something this weird to be recognized is really gratifying because we were surprised when anyone watched. We didn't know if it would be a tiny audience. We thought maybe it's too weird, so when it broadened out popularity-wise, it was a huge surprise and a really lovely one.

Noah Wyle on his Emmy nomination for 'The Pitt': 'This time around, it's much more gratifying'
Twenty-six years after Noah Wyle was last nominated for an Emmy, for his role as Dr. John Carter on NBC's long-running medical drama "ER," the actor has scrubbed back in for a chance at a golden trophy. The star and executive producer of "The Pitt" received a nomination for lead actor in a drama series for his role as Dr. Michael "Robby" Robinavitch, and overall, HBO Max's breakout hit received 13 nominations. Wyle will be competing alongside Sterling K. Brown ("Paradise"), Pedro Pascal ("The Last of Us"), Gary Oldman ("Slow Horses") and Adam Scott ("Severance") for the award. The actor's skill around a fictional emergency room has yielded strong results. While it's his first Emmy nomination since 1999, it's the actor's sixth Emmy nomination for playing a doctor — the previous five were for his supporting role as the med student-turned-hospital veteran on "ER." Tuesday's nomination is his first ever in the lead actor in a drama category. Wyle was in production on "The Pitt's" sophomore season on the Warner Bros. lot in Burbank when he got the celebratory news, and The Times caught up with him during a break. This interview has been edited for length and clarity. Read more:After a 15-hour shift on 'The Pitt,' Noah Wyle reviews Dr. Robby's day Noah, congratulations! Production on Season 2 is underway. You were on set when you got the news? Thank you. Yes, we're working today. I was on set. We shot the first scene. I asked to go to the bathroom. On a bathroom break, I checked my phone and saw a text from my wife that said, "Baby!" I thought, "Oh." By the time I came back onto set, everybody was starting to get very excited. Then just now, [R.] Scott Gemmill [the show's creator] came down and made a formal announcement and read off all the 13 nominations, and that just exploded the crew and cast background into massive celebration. How do you get back to work after this? Oh, so easily. I'm going [to] go in there, and we're gonna get right back at it. I don't know. I guess with a little bit of a bounce in our stride. When I look at the sound department, who works so hard on our show, parsing out all that overlapping dialogue — to see them get recognized, and see our makeup departments, both prosthetic and non-prosthetic, be recognized for their labor — everybody puts such pride into their work, and I am inspired by so many incredible artists who bring their expertise to this place every day. To see everybody be recognized makes it feel even more special, because it's truly a group effort. Dr. John Carter on "ER" was a newbie to the healthcare industry, bright-eyed and eager to learn. Dr. Robby in "The Pitt" is a veteran of the industry, sort of jaded by the systemic challenges but as committed as ever to the patients. How is it to track someone deep in their career at this stage in yours? There was a lot of one-to-one identification with Carter back then, as I was new and eager to be good at my job and seen as being good at my job — both ambitious, both aspirational. This time around, it's much more gratifying because you have perspective. When you're 23, you don't necessarily know what the peaks and valleys of a life or career are going to be, but at 53, you have a better understanding of the road traveled and the road ahead, and it just makes this feel even sweeter. The show is confronting issues changing in our world in real time, and you're inhabiting someone behind the headlines, in the trenches, dealing with the realities of those issues. What intrigues you about what Dr. Robby and the rest of the characters on this show say about this moment in time, especially as the healthcare industry is on the precipice of more drastic change? Season 1 was trying to put a spotlight on the community of front-line workers and hospital personnel who've been doing sort of unending tours of duty since the pandemic. It was a thesis on tracking the emotional and physical toll that it's taken on our workforce, in a way to try to inspire the next generation, but really to also highlight the heroism of people that are in the trenches now. Unfortunately, we've had to move on from that thesis because the world events since that [time] have taken such a turn, and healthcare in particular is in such crosshairs that it is both extremely incumbent upon us to stay current in our storytelling and reflective of what's happening. But it's really quite a challenge to try and peer into a crystal ball and see what the world will look like 13 months from now, when these episodes air, because the events are changing on the ground daily, so quickly that things that we didn't think would have come to pass by now have already come and gone and been normalized. So it's a challenge. The last time we spoke, you talked about how you strolled into work every morning, sort of mimicking Dr. Robby's routine — that entrance to the hospital, listening to "Baby" by Robert Bradley's Blackwater Surprise. Is that still the case for Season 2? No, we have a different opening this year. So, I have a different ritual and routine every morning. But I'm a creature of habit, and so I do my odd, little eccentric things every day to get ready. How are you feeling about this new season? It was recently revealed that your co-star Tracy Ifeachor would not appear in Season 2; there has been speculation about that decision and whether it's linked to her allegedly being a member of a London evangelical megachurch that performs 'gay exorcisms.' Can you comment on the reason for parting ways? I can only comment and say that that was all revelatory to me. All these stories that have come out subsequently are news to us. It had nothing to do with anything like that. How are you feeling about that kind of cast change early in the show's run, or what it means for Season 2? We made it clear at the outset that part of being in a realistic teaching hospital is a revolving door of characters, whether you have somebody not come back, or you have somebody die, or whether you have somebody rotate to another department or go on another specialty. These are the things that we pull our hair out in the writers' room trying to figure out how to keep this ensemble together for as long as time possible, but knowing that there has to be a revolution of characters coming through to keep the place realistic. And the character of Collins was a significant character in the first season, and Tracy was amazing. I loved working with her. I wish her all the best in her future. I heard she got another gig. As far as how this impacts your character, there's concern about Dr. Robby's mental health. Fans want to see Dr. Robby smile. Are you smiling in Season 2? [Laughs] If it means that much to you, I'll trying to work one in. I would imagine it'll be easy today. How do you plan to celebrate? I looked at that list of nominees that I'm in the company of, and I send my congratulations to all of them. It's incredibly gratifying and humbling to be included in their company. I'm going to celebrate quietly with my family and come back to work tomorrow. Have you heard from your "ER" counterparts? George Clooney? Eriq La Salle? They don't get up this early. [Laughs] What's a memory that stands out from your last Emmys experience? Talk about perspective. It was such a beautiful, wonderful, heady time for me that the last time I was nominated, I was annoyingly blasé about it, and if I had known that it was going to be 20-plus years before I was invited to the party again, I think I would have had a better time. Before I let you get back to work, tell me: what's the medical procedure on the docket for you today? Today I'm removing some taser barbs from the back of a thrashing patient's neck. We're shooting, actually, an episode that I wrote, so it's really kind of a heavy week already.
