Italo photos reflect immigration issues

'Cose dell'altro mondo'Immigration-designed movies include comedies 'Mozzarella Stories' and 'Cose dell'altro mondo.'ROME -- Roughly 100 years after countless Italians left their homeland in the mass exodus considered the greatest migration in modern history, virtually no day passes without mind lines in local media in regards to the plight of thousands of immigrants now pressing on Italy's edges.The majority are running political turmoil in North Africa and civil war in Libya. And 100s have drowned at sea, simply consequently in the Silvio Berlusconi government's so-referred to as push-back policy.Italy's filmmakers took proper care of immediately the explosive problem getting a wave of films with immigration the central theme.Helmer Emanuele Crialese occupies this issue in "Terraferma," which won the special jury jerk in Venice. Like his "Respiro," pic is positioned around the small island in the Sicilian coast where fishermen, following a "law in the sea," decide to save African boat people and result in serious trouble while using local coast guard."Personally the response in the condition is totally inadequate," Crialese mentioned in Venice. "To permit people die at sea is definitely an indication of the excellent inadequate civilization." Crialese cast an authentic Ethiopian refugee, recognized only as Timnit T, to see negligence an unlawfully saved pregnant lady, based on her real story. She now lives in Northern Europe. Sales company Elle Driver is at talks for Englishlanguage areas on "Terraferma," which segued from Venice to Toronto, where it absolutely was well recognized. Cattleya and RAI Cinema produced.Another Italian prize champion round the Lido was "La Bas. A Criminal Education," a gritty drama in regards to the conflictual co-info on African immigrants as well as the Camorra mob, which rules the Neapolitan hinterland.Helmed starting with-timer Guido Lombardi, shot on location mostly in French and British, and starring plenty of non-pros, naturalistic drama scooped both Venice Lion for future years as well as the Lido's Critics' Week jerk.Lombardi was inspired having a 2008 incident, known to as Castel Volturno massacre, in which the Camorra gunned lower six African males in the racist turf war.Helmer states the pic originates from his discovery that outdoors Naples "there's a little of Africa that was suffering." Co-produced by Neapolitan shingle Figli del Bronx, Eskimo and Minerva Pictures Group, pic will probably be released by Cinecitta Luce in Italia.In Italo auteur Ermanno Olmi's "The Credit Card board Village," Michael Lonsdale ("Of Gods and Males") stars just like a passionate priest who animal animal shelters African immigrants, whilst his chapel becomes deconsecrated. Pic came a mixed response at its Venice out-of-competition screening, although most were amazed by the potency of Olmi's spirit of Christian charitable organization. RAI Cinema produced.But Italy's current increase of immigration movies isn't limited to dramas.Strangely enough, the area immigration pic that's pushing most likely probably the most buttons is certainly an Italian remake of Sergio Arau's "Every Day Without any Mexican," which transposes that pic's central premise of stress in California when Latinos go AWOL to Northern Italia.Helmed by Francesco Patierno, caustic laffer re-titled "Cose dell'altro mondo," which unspooled in Venice's Controcampo Italiano section, sparked ire from Italy's xenophobic Northern League, which banned production company Rodeo Drive from shooting in Treviso making rumblings in regards to the pic in parliament.And immigration may also be the key factor component in another Italo comedy, the pulpy "Mozzarella Tales," centered around Chinese entrepreneurs who ton an italian guy , market with excellent mozzarella balls at half cost."This cheese, which we call 'white gold,' can be a essential symbol of my city," mentioned first-time helmer, and Caserta native, Edoardo P Angelis, within the pic's Rome launch.Professional produced by Emir Kusturica, "Mozzarella," including Aida Turturro inside the cast, is co-produced by Novelty helmet Pictures and Bavaria Media. Pic was released Sept. 23. Contact Nick Vivarelli at nvivarelli@gmail.com

NBA may lock out nets revs

LeBron James and Kobe Bryant battled it out on ABC's traditional Christmas Day 2010 broadcast.With little movement in negotiations between NBA owners and players, television broadcasters and advertisers are uncomfortably waiting on the sidelines for what currently seems inevitable: the likelihood of the pro basketball season losing games from its regular-season schedule -- or worse.If the NBA doesn't play any of its 2011-2012 sked (which runs from November into June), national carriers ABC/ESPN and TNT will lose as much as $1.25 billion in ad sales revenue, according to one estimate. Add in regional sports nets, some of which will struggle even harder than the national nets to find substitute product for the high-profile NBA, and there is no doubt a lot is at stake.Still, since many sports fans don't take notice of the NBA until winter (ABC's first game is traditionally on Christmas Day), a shortish work stoppage like the one in 1998 (which trimmed the season from 82 games to 50) wouldn't be all that devastating."The NBA is important sports programming and if there is no season or if the season is curtailed, their sales revenue will be impacted," former CBS Sports head Neal Pilson says. "Some of the money can be re-expressed by the networks in other sports or programming where there is a similar demographic, but it will have an impact."Considering the NBA's ratings for marquee matchups and postseason contests in recent years, networks will be losing out on a strong performer. For example, all of the league's TV partners showed nice ratings gains last season, and May's compelling playoff action lifted TNT to the No. 1 spot for the month among all basic cable nets in every key ratings category."The figures the NBA hits among 18-35 males, or even 18-54 males, it is a pretty sought-after demographic and (broadcasters) are definitely at a loss there," says SNL Kagan analyst Adam Swanson.Still, the amount of damage that canceled games will have on the networks will differ greatly depending on their inventory of other programming options. For example, during the last NBA work stoppage in 1998-99, TNT was able to fill its NBA timeslots with films and other product that actually outperformed their expected NBA ratings. While this might not be the case now, TNT's complementary lineup of entertainment fare will help. "One of the reasons they (TNT) have the NBA is because it is a demographic that is compatible to a lot of their male-oriented programming," Pilson says. As a result, they may be able to cover some advertising losses with shows that appeal to the same demographic the NBA draws, like the more male-skewing of its dramas, "Southland" and "Leverage."ESPN also has a deep roster of sporting options and sports docs to cover any lost scheduling. But for RSNs that rely on a single sport for different times of year -- such as baseball in spring and basketball in the winter -- matters will be more difficult."For the regionals, the impact is meaningful," Pilson says. "ESPN can move advertising to college basketball and Turner can move some of the money to entertainment properties, but for RSNs that don't have hockey, for them, this would be serious."But not everybody believes RSNs will take such a huge hit. Harvey Schiller, who previously served as president of Turner Sports and CEO of YankeesNet, points out that RSNs benefit from viewers that typically are interested in not only basketball but also whatever other anchor sports the channel provides. As a result, subscriber bases should not severely drop off. At the same time, without the overhead of televising games, RSNs will be cutting a huge cost."(RSNs) still are getting their subscriber fees, which are really the heart and soul (of their revenue)," Schiller says. "The advertising revenue is typically equal to the cost of production, so without producing anything, their operating costs go down dramatically."If, in fact, networks will be OK in the short term or mid-term, the question becomes whether there will be meaningful damage for a lengthy stop in play. In April, Mike Ozanian, co-host of the YES Network's Forbes SportsMoney, estimated the NBA could expect at least a 30% increase on its national TV rights fees when contracts are set for renegotiation in 2016. In terms of advertisers, Chris Russo, who is CEO of independent online sports property Big Lead Sports, says there will be creative options for dollars previously earmarked for the NBA. These include marketing opportunities with NBA personalities and some migration to digital outlets with sports that reach the same demos as the NBA.But neither Russo nor other experts believe advertisers will stay away long when the NBA eventually returns to the hard court. "You can see what happened with the NFL recently," Swanson says. "At first some advertisers were trying to play hardball and they were saying, 'We're not even going to do business when they come back.' They put up a front, but when it came down to it, when the ball got rolling on football, then all the advertisers signed and they were willing to pay premiums. Basketball isn't as big as football, but it has been doing better than baseball in some respects. If you want to go after that market, it's sort of a no brainer: Advertisers will be back."

Disney's The Lone Ranger set to ride back to action

It had not been such a long time ago that people were confirming that Disney had drawn the plug around the ambitious new movie version from the Lone Ranger.Now, Deadline are confirming the problems happen to be basically resolved in the studio, as well as an official announcement is anticipated in a few days.The important thing gamers - The Actor-brad Pitt as Tonto, Armie Hammer because the masked hero and Ruth Wilson (Luther) because the female lead - are required to become back, and we are wishing Helena Bonham Carter will return, too.Although it appeared strange that the project in the Pirates From The Caribbean energy-combo of Depp, producer Jerry Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski could be shelved, the main concern was your budget, that was edging north of $250m.Bruckheimer and director Gore Verbinski have apparently chipped that figure lower to some mere $215m.Deadline indicates the disappointing performance of the summer's western-designed Cowboys & Aliens might have triggered Disney's resistance.The vintage property still seems like a rather dangerous proposition, there is however always the actual hope that Depp, Verbinski and Bruckheimer could recapture the spirit from the first Pirates, with lots of laughs, adventure and old-fashioned swashbuckling.It's not obvious when the Lone Ranger continues to be likely to hit its original December 2012 release date.

EMMYS: Drama Series Handicap

Ray Richmond is adding to Due dates 2011 Emmy coverage. Heres his scorecard assessing the Outstanding Drama Series race. Mad Males (AMC) Lionsgate TV Why It Had Been Nominated: Because its televisions reigning defacto standard, for this reason, with 19 total nominations this season (a lot more than every other series and 2nd among all shows behind the Cinemax small Mildred Pierce, which totalled 21). Matt Weiner sixties ad agency hour has won three occasions consecutively here by winning a 4th would tie Hill Street Blues, L.A. Law and also the West Wing which are more Outstanding Drama Emmys. In the 4th season, experts and fans appear to stay in agreement that Mad Males remains towards the top of its game. Therefore if its still about quality, just hands the Emmy over. Why It Needs To Win: Mad Males is on the roll, one which shows no signs and symptoms of derailing with wins this season in the Television Experts Association and also the inaugural Experts Choice Award. They did a few of their best product this year, one producer states, and also the level that Weiner is operating at kind of leaves most of us in awe. Its amazingly good. This show seems to become that rarest of exceptions: One which began out hot and it has grown only warmer every year in addition to backlash-proof. Why It Cant Possibly Win: You will find a few monkey wrenches that may squelch this year's anticipated Mad Males coronation. One is always that, unlike its first 3 years in Emmy contention, the show didn't have fresh episodes this summer time throughout voting time — pressed to next spring by Weiners protracted contract discussions. Another is individuals very discussions themselves that found the headstrong Males creator-showrunner all around the media using the sometimes acrimonious back-and-forth. You will see some who dont election for that show from jealousy fond of Weiner, a voting author thinks. “But its tough to understand how much which will matter. Boardwalk Empire (Cinemax) Leverage, Nearest towards the Hole Prods, Sikelia Prods & Cold Front Prods w/ Cinemax Ing Why It Had Been Nominated: The epic and ambitious Prohibition-designed mob extravaganza epitomizes what Cinemax does best — that's, providing people with who understand what theyre doing like professional producer Martin Scorsese and showrunner/Sopranos alumnus Terence Winter time, budget and inventive freedom to attain greatness. Within this situation, that translates to 18 Emmy nominations in the first season. Boardwalk brings together the motion picture-quality cache’ thats made Cinemax product catnip towards the TV academy. Getting Scorseses title attached does not hurt, either. Why It Needs To Win: This looked to become really a slam-dunk when Boardwalk opened 11 several weeks ago. Experts talked (mostly), the amounts were solid, it had been restored for any second season the next day of its premiere, and so the show won every award around the corner within the ensuing four several weeks. That can be a all happened a seeming lifetime ago, the Scorsese factor cant be overlooked or reduced. Contrary will knock Mad Males from the pedestal, this looks to achieve the best shot. Why It Cant Possibly Win: Voters have infamously short reminiscences, even if you will find Dvd disks there to help remind them. The excitement and momentum for Boardwalk, which returns because of its second season on Sept. 25, has lengthy since disappeared. That wont help its cause. Also, its HBOs Emmy prowess, it's taken this category only two times: The Sopranos in 2004 and 07. Mad Males has won in addition to that simply by itself. As you TV academy member assured me: Mad Males will forfeit one of these simple years. This just does not seem like it is the year. The Great Wife (CBS) CBS Prods Why It Had Been Nominated: Theres very little conisder that this is actually the best drama presently on broadcast television, which is not basically damning the 2nd-year show with faint praise. Co-showrunners Robert and Michelle King have determined a method to skirt the creative restrictions of broadcast television to provide The Great Wife cable-level creativeness and production values. Thats no small achievement when theyre needing to turn out 22 episodes a season instead of 10, 12 or 13. For this reason this is actually the only network series to crash the course this season, its second consecutive jerk and something of nine honors total. Why It Needs To Win: The truth that Good Wife may be the only broadcast entry provides it with an outsider status which has a opportunity to resonate using the bigger academy membership. A director and academy member explained, I believe Im voting for that Good Wife, simply because it is not among the stylish Selected Ones. To that particular point, this is the only real show one of the nominees having a retro believe recalls the glory times of network primetime. Also it has a cast thats a minimum of on componen with Mad Males, headed by nominee Julianna Margulies and fellow nominees Christine Baranski, Archie Panjabi, Alan Cumming and Josh Charles. Why It Cant Possibly Win: Margulies, together with her more subtle and nuanced performance, should never be everyones cup of java. That alone could kill any outdoors shot Good Wife may need to accomplish an upset. Also, the final time a CBS series won the Emmy to find the best drama is at 1994 for David E. Kelleys cool Picket Fences. Thats 17 years back. Therefore the network is either past due or determined to remain overlooked. Bet on Thrones (Cinemax) Bighead, Littlehead, 360 TV & Grok and Generator Prods w/ Cinemax Ing Why It Had Been Nominated: The Cinemax newcomer fantasy surprised many people in the manner it swelled its group of followers past the comic crowd because it moved through its first-year run, helping it to land an unexpected 13 nominations. A producer stated in my experience, What is type of amazing about this total is the fact that only one of these (Peter Dinklage for supporting actor) was for carrying out. So its already built lots of respect because of its technical work in early stages. Why It Needs To Win: Were the impossible to occur and Bet on Thrones in some way pushed off the heavy faves, get married suppose Matt Weiner may likely require electroshock therapy to restart his heart. It might happen. How? A producer theorizes: Its got the excitement going for this, Ill tell you just how. People I'd not have likely to be hooked on it chose to make this appointment viewing. Why It Cant Possibly Win: The shows graphic bloodstream-and-guts and also the subject material itself are virtually certain to switch off a substantial contingent of voters for any show thats also still a little too misguided. That may well change in the future for co-showrunners David Benioff and D.B. Weiss, who also clicked up a writing jerk. Much less shabby within their very first time-around. Friday Evening Lights (DirecTV) Imagine Ing w/ Universal Media Galleries & Film 44 Why It Had Been Nominated: The departing, much beloved Texas senior high school football-designed drama grabbed its first and last Outstanding Drama Series nom that old-fashioned way: By generating it. Friday Evening Lights was recognized like a rare — and tragically low-ranked — broadcast jewel if this went on NBC. Now it creates the very first-ever major category nomination for DirecTV in the fifth and final season in addition to acting nods for leads Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler along with a writing one for Jason Katims. That it is been canceled helps make the honors bittersweet, but sweet the same. Why It Needs To Win: An unexpected quantity of veneration originates the shows way this season, together with a Peabody Award along with a trophy as Program of the season in the Television Experts Association. Things I sense, a set author explained, is the fact that individuals are feeling guilty Friday Evening Lights hasnt become its due, in the same manner the Wire didnt. So theres a little of attempting to treat that, I believe. Will that be sufficient to create an upset win? The current momentum swing — together with its swan-song status — states its likely. Why It Cant Possibly Win: However, its tough to picture a predicament in which the TV academy bequeaths its greatest series award to some series that closed out its operate on DirecTV. In Emmy history, only Barney Burns in 1982 won a high series Emmy for the foremost and only amount of time in its final season. Its unlikely Lights would be the second because of the heft from the competition. Dexter (Showtime) John Goldwyn Prods, The Colleton Co. & Nick Johannessen Prods Why It Had Been Nominated: It is the 4th consecutive year that Dexter continues to be honored within this category, the very first time thats happened to have an original Showtime series. The academy seems to become a sucker for that shows serial-killer-with-a-heart-of-gold narrative, as well as for star Michael C. Hall. Enough to appoint them every year, anyway. Why It Needs To Win: Allows say someone compromised the pc program that tallies those who win and changed the outcomes so Dexter arrived on the scene on the top. Reasonably, thats most likely the shows best chance this season. This is the greatest upset in Emmy history. Why It Cant Possibly Win: Dexter is clearly respected enough to create nominations but has existed too lengthy to face like a serious competitor. It comes down from something of the transitional year carrying out a 4th season of great suspense along with a towering recurring role by John Lithgow. Nothing similar happened in Season 5, which might be one reason showrunner Nick Johannessen was changed for Season 6 by Scott Buck.

Exclusive: Tune Thomas Scott Finally Renews Her Contract Using The Youthful and also the Restless

Tune Thomas Scott Our lengthy national nightmare has ended! Executives in the Youthful and also the Restless have recently seen the sunshine and therefore are getting Tune Thomas Scott to the show. She'll resume operate in October striking the environment at Thanksgiving. The hugely popular actress - who plays lush-in-distress Nikki Newman - continues to be from the CBS serial because the finish of April, with gossips flying that The new sony, which is the owner of the cleaning soap, was techniques and did not wish to renew her contract at this time. Not really a smooth move, thinking about Thomas Scott was towards the top of story - and giving the performance of her career - when Nikki all of a sudden left Genoa City and went into rehab. Strangely enough, individuals money issues at Y&R did not stop the suits from employing plenty of new high-profile faces in recent several weeks, including Emmy-winning suds best Genie Francis and Debbi Morgan - a well known fact that didn't go overlooked by Thomas Scott's legion of irate fans who organized an enormous Twitter campaign to create their girl back. TV Guide Magazine spoke with Thomas Scott to find the scoop on her behalf return and what really went lower between her and also the cent-pinchers. TV Guide Magazine: Finally, what's promising for Y&R, a reveal that could really utilize it at this time. While you are away, the rankings happen to be shedding constantly. How's it going feeling about all of this?Jones Scott: I am thrilled to be returning. Whatever weirdness chose to make this all happen now appears to become gone. They've plainly and all of a sudden appreciate me again in the manner that [Y&R creator] Bill Bell did in the past. This really is nothing against [current Y&R chief] Maria Bell and I wish to make that very obvious. Many people happen to be fooled and believe that all of this continues to be Maria's fault which is not the situation. I have not had any ill will toward her through this whole factor. She's been great and very encouraging. TV Guide Magazine: What exactly did happen? Why did the key lady about the No. 1 cleaning soap all of a sudden vanish?Thomas Scott: This is a tough question. I can not make believe you know without a doubt, being the victim here. The new sony would need to let you know, that they will not. TV Guide Magazine: You are not moving away from that simple! Would you believe it was financial?Thomas Scott: Yes, I actually do but it wasn't handled perfectly. I have experienced e-commerce since i have was three and I understand how this works. If your show is getting issues with money or budget they call the actor very professionally and say, "You will find there's little financial crunch here. Let us attempt to work something out, okay?" That is what must have happened. The issue was that this type of telephone call never was designed to me and that i remained within the lurch. Had they acquired the telephone in March or April and merely stated 2 or 3 sentences in my experience, none of the might have happened. But nobody stated anything, which began to obtain a little odd soon after days of no longer working. I'd get in touch with for my shooting schedule when i usually do and become told, "You've another week off." Which stored happening every week after week. Then your fans began having to pay focus on all of this and were asking me, "Are you currently departing the show?" I'd no clue things to say or why I wasn't working. Then all hell appeared to interrupt lose. Everyone was saying I'd requested a leave of absence. False. These were saying, "Oh, Tune, really wants to spend some time together with her new grandbaby twins." False. [Laughs] Well, obviously I actually do wish to spend some time together however i would not quit my job regarding this! Then, when Twitter bought this, it grew to become an enormous worldwide situation. I owe my go back to the fans. Without Twitter, I'm not sure which i could be returning. I truly attribute it to that particular. It's incredible. Social media, baby! TV Guide Magazine: The problem appeared to become irritated in June by Maria herself in the Emmys when she assured us within the press room you would be returning - however which was following by a number of more several weeks of bupkis.Thomas Scott: Well, again, it isn't her fault. Actually, I figured what she stated in the Emmys was great since it provided some real hope - hope I did not have until that evening. I'd rather not function as the one taking a chance why they did the things they did and why they finally found me once they did, apart from to express I am thrilled to have this complete ugly five several weeks done and also over. Strange unexpected things happen within this business. I'm not sure that people ever fully realize precisely why things go lower how they do. I simply realize it never was my decision to become gone. TV Guide Magazine: So, to clarify, you've now signed a brand new contract using the show?Thomas Scott: Yes, it's a new contract. TV Guide Magazine: Where was CBS in most this? Disregarding the problem? Did not anybody in the network attempt to part of to repair this mess?Thomas Scott: I truly don't believe CBS understood anything about this, and that i realize that sounds strange but, through the years that's virtually been the situation beside me. Discussions will always be hell. TV Guide Magazine: Did not you discover it shocking that, despite Sony's supposed money crisis, the show stored employing new stars? How could they never pay you but still find dough for those these Aussies nobody wants to look at?Jones Scott: I'm not leaving comments on that. TV Guide Magazine: Alrighty then. So what's happening plot-smart when Nikki returns?Thomas Scott: Well, I can not discuss it simply yet however i ended up getting some good plot from Maria and, you realize me, I never call the mind author and request what is going to happen. Used to do it this time around because I felt it was vital. If Nikki only agreed to be likely to be serving tea and being Victor's slave I wouldn't wish to return for your. TV Guide Magazine: But we love to it when Nikki is Victor's slave! It has been happening for 3 decades!Jones Scott: Well, Nikki clearly does not mind. Yes, he's psychologically abusive to her. And, yes, you will find many, a lot of couples available who are identical way. I do not have trouble with a realistic look at that. I simply do not want more youthful kids to consider this is the way it's said to be. Anyway, I can not let you know what Maria explained, however i think it is extremely exciting. TV Guide Magazine: Provide us with something, toy! Is "exciting" story a brand new direction for Nikki? Surely there's some small vague crumb you are able to pass our way.Thomas Scott: Well, apparently Nikki continues to be missing for some time. The rehab factor only survived such a long time and today she's disappeared and is doing other activities, that is things i can't let you know about at this time. However when she finally comes back home you will find some very large issues happening with many different people and it'll create large problems. TV Guide Magazine: Okay, vague enough. Is Nikki's booze problem behind her?Thomas Scott: [Laughs] Oh, God, I really hope not! TV Guide Magazine: Is not she one of many who-wiped out-Diane suspects? But exactly how can that be? Regardless of the number of "special shakes" Nikki drank, she'd never kill Diane. It's plain wacky.Thomas Scott: [Laughs] Again, I am not leaving comments. I truly do not get that analytical relating to this stuff. I am okay with what you do with this story however i often hear there is a interesting twist into it, something you are not expecting. It isn't my worry. I am just happy I am returning to Y&R which I am not serving tea! Sign up for TV Guide Magazine now!

The first 2011 Primetime Emmy Awards were handed out this afternoon at the Creative Arts Emmy Awards ceremony at the Nokia Theatre L.A. Live in Los Angeles. Like last year, pairings of showrunners with talent from the shows they produce presented. They included Jon Cryer & Chuck Lorre (Two and a Half Men), Connie Britton & Jason Katims (Friday Night Lights), Phil Keoghan & Bertram Van Munster (The Amazing Race), Jeff Probst & Mark Burnett (Survivor) and Chris Colfer & Brad Falchuk (Glee). Among the categories awarded today were Outstanding Reality Series and Best Guest Actors/Actresses in both Drama and Comedy series. The ceremony will air September 17 on ReelzChannel. Deadline’s Diane Haithman and Karen Nicoletti were on the scene. Walking the Red Carpet leading to tonight’s awards, Robert Kirkman, the Executive Producer of Walking Dead, reminds us that the Creative Emmys are for categories that are “the heart and soul of the television shows.” And the winners are: Outstanding Guest Actor In A Drama Series Harry’s Law NBC Bonanza Productions, Inc. in association with David E. Kelley Productions and Warner Bros. Television Paul McCrane as Josh Peyton Winning the evening’s final award, Paul McCrane dedicated it to the memory of his father, James J. McCrane. “He would do anything to make a living in this business,” he said, adding that any actor who can make a living at the craft is lucky. “Anything else is gravy, and this makes some awfully nice gravy.” BACKSTAGE: “I would like to say [the award] really doesnt matter that much, but the truth is the nomination meant a lot to me. It was a fun challenging character that David Kelley wrote. I worked really hard on it, and I was happy with the work. Some other people were too, and that was really gratifying. McCrane said that these days he is directing a lot of episodic TV and I act when they let me. On Monday I go back to work on Harrys Law. He recently helmed a Harrys Law episode and has directed CSI, the mothership, and has another CSI directing gig coming up next month. He said that Ted Dansons addition to the CSI cast breathes all kind of new life into the show. But [as a director] you dont reinvent the wheel over there.

Governors Award honoree John Walsh, backstage, talked about how continuing to do specials for Fox, which carried his show Americas Most Wanted for 23 years, is like dating your ex. The always-intense Walsh says he accepted the offer to move his program to Lifetime instead of accepting any of tons of other offers, including hosting other sorts of crime-related programs, because all I really want to do is catch bad guys and find missing children. He says he is still trying to get an international crime-busting program, The Worlds Most Wanted, off the ground. Outstanding Host For A Reality Or Reality-Competition Program Survivor CBS SEG Inc.
