Zoë Kravitz and Meghann Fahy are the year's biggest Emmy surprises: Poll
The 2025 Emmy nominations were filled with some jaw-dropping picks, with several actors and programs beating the Gold Derby's odds. 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. More from Gold Derby Anne Hathaway reveals first-look photo from 'The Devil Wears Prada 2': Everything to know about anticipated sequel Marvel's big reset: Mahershala Ali's 'Blade,' recasting 'X-Men' and Tony Stark, and why Miles Morales is MIA in the MCU 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. TV Movie Contender Odds 1. Rebel Ridge 81.3% 2. Bridget Jones: Mad About the Boy 12.0% 3. Mountainhead 2.8% 4. The Gorge 2.0% 5. Nonnas 2.0% Best of Gold Derby 'Five new life forms from distant planets': Everything to know about 'Alien: Earth' as new trailer drops Everything to know about 'The Pitt' Season 2, including the departure of Tracy Ifeachor's Dr. Collins Everything to know about 'Too Much,' Lena Dunham's Netflix TV show starring Megan Stalter that's kinda, sorta 'based on a true story' Click here to read the full article.

‘Étoile' vs. ‘The Residence': How to cancel a show without derailing its Emmy chances
Talk about an Emmy buzzkill. When Prime Video officially pulled the plug on Étoile on June 6, the announcement sent ripples through the entertainment industry. While the cancellation of a freshman series is hardly uncommon, it was the timing of the news, not the decision itself, that may have ended the show's Emmy aspirations. More from Gold Derby Zoë Kravitz and Meghann Fahy are the year's biggest Emmy surprises: Poll 'The Pitt,' 'The Studio,' and 'Adolescence' have taken the lead in this pivotal Emmy category Just one week before Emmy voting began, Étoile was poised for awards consideration. The ballet dramedy marked the return of Amy Sherman-Palladino and Dan Palladino (The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Gilmore Girls). The Palladinos are no strangers to Emmy gold, with 10 wins and 24 nominations between them. While Étoile hadn't toped the streamers charts, it was quietly building momentum and Amazon originally committed to two seasons. FYC events were scheduled, and cast appearances had been lined up. The campaign machine appeared to be just getting into full swing. Then came the surprising announcement, right in the middle of FYC season, and any momentum the show had seemed to have accumulated came to a halt. In fact, cast members including Yanic Truesdale, Taïs Vinolo, and Ivan du Pontavice were en route to the SCAD Lacoste Film Festival in France when the news broke, and the team had to shift gears. Truesdale, who played Michel in Gilmore Girls, admitted he was disappointed by the cancellation, telling Deadline, 'I was very excited to see the second season because knowing Amy and Dan's writing, they set things in the first season, and then the second season, once everything is established, is really, when they start to fly with the material,' he said. Though Amazon continued to support the series with billboards and trade ads, the narrative shift was hard to ignore. A cancellation, particularly one announced before nominations are even secured, sends an unintentional message: this show is done. In an increasingly crowded awards landscape, perception is everything. Had Étoile been allowed to complete its Emmy campaign with even the illusion of future seasons, it might have captured more than two nominations it received in choreography and cinematography — perhaps in production design, costumes, or direction. Compare that to Netflix's The Residence. Also shuttered after a single season, The Residence managed to sidestep the same buzzkill with the streamer strategically timing its announcement. Netflix waited until July 2, after Emmy voting had closed. That crucial difference allowed the show to sustain its campaign energy and gave its cast and crew plausible hope. The result? The show landed four nods, including a surprise Best Comedy Actress nomination for Uzo Aduba — an outcome that may have played out very differently if the cancellation news had dropped a few weeks earlier. A similar situation unfolded in 2021 with Lovecraft Country, which received 18 Emmy nominations for its first season. HBO announced the show's cancellation in July — after voting had ended. Despite the end of the road, the delay in announcing it preserved the show's award-season momentum. This contrast highlights just how sensitive Emmy campaigns are to timing. Now, the industry is watching closely to see how Thursday's shocking news that The Late Show With Stephen Colbert has been canceled just two days after receiving an Emmy nomination will affect voters. Once again, it raises the question at the heart of awards season strategy: When it comes to cancellation, does timing make the difference between an Emmy win and a campaign that fades away?

Most notable, Peacock will soon be the streaming home for Drop, a critically acclaimed thriller that debuted in theaters earlier this year. You can find that film alongside the rest of the Watch With Us team's picks for the must-watch thrillers on Peacock in July. Note that not all of these movies will be on Peacock after July 31, so watch them while you can. 6 Must-Watch Movies on Peacock Right Now (July 2025) 'Drop' (2025) Getting back into the dating scene is a nightmare for Violet Gates (Meghann Fahy) in Drop. After years of being a single widowed mother, Violet's young son, Toby (Jacob Robinson), and Violet's sister, Jen (Violett Beane), encourage her to go on a date with Henry Campbell (Brandon Sklenar), a man she met through a dating site. Although Violet's date with Henry starts well, she is harassed by strange and alarming messages on her phone that ultimately threaten the life of her son. And if Violet doesn't cooperate with Toby's captor and act against Henry then she may never see her son alive again. Drop will stream on Peacock on July 11. 'The Outfit' (2022) The Outfit takes place almost exclusively in the tailor shop of Leonard Burling (Mark Rylance) in 1956. Leonard's primary clientele is the Irish mob, as led by Roy Boyle (Simon Russell Beale) and his son, Richie (Dylan O'Brien). Despite his misgivings, Leonard even lets Richie's girlfriend, Mable Shaun (Zoey Deutch), work at the shop. If You Have to Watch 1 Peacock Movie in June 2025, Stream This 1 Now Things start to unravel when Richie shows up at the shop badly wounded alongside his top enforcer, Francis (Johnny Flynn).

Someone close to George has leaked sensitive intel, and it's his job to determine who did it. Five people conceivably could be behind the leak, one of whom is his wife.

Black Bag is streaming on Peacock. 3 Underrated Thrillers You Should Watch in June 2025 'Memento' (2000) Before Christopher Nolan made his name directing the Dark Knight trilogy, his calling card in Hollywood was Memento. For his first trick, Nolan shows audiences the ending of Memento before they realize what it means. Then he lets the story unfold in two parallel narratives before catching up with the conclusion. The film revolves around Leonard Shelby (Guy Pearce), a man who lost his wife and his ability to make new long-term memories due to a brutal attack. Now, Leonard's memories reset nearly every ten minutes, and he's not sure if he can trust the people around him, including Natalie (Carrie-Anne Moss) and Teddy (Joe Pantoliano). Everyone seems to take advantage of Leonard's condition, including Leonard himself. Memento is streaming on Peacock.
