Emmy Awards move to January, placing them firmly in Hollywood’s awards season

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:02:38 GMT

LOS ANGELES (AP) — The strike-delayed 75th Emmy Awards have a new date — one that places them squarely within Hollywood’s awards season, for a change.Fox announced Thursday that the Emmys will air Jan. 15 from the Peacock Theater at LA Live in downtown Los Angeles. The show will air on the Martin Luther King, Jr., holiday.The timing means that the Emmys, which honor the best shows on television, will air weeks before the Screen Actors Guild Awards, which honors film and television actors. Numerous other shows like the Golden Globe Awards, which haven’t been confirmed for a return to network television, and the Critics Choice Awards, also are held in January.The ceremony will happen roughly four months later than originally planned.While the move is a bit of a throwback — the first Emmys, where only six awards were handed out, were held in January 1949 — the show traditionally airs in September, a slot that once heralded the upcoming fall television season. But that timin...

Meet Westminster’s attack dogs

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:02:38 GMT

LONDON — The next U.K. general election is likely more than a year away, but Westminster’s political attack dogs are already flexing their muscles and entering the fray.Strategists from both main U.K. parties have spent the quiet summer months briefing that the “gloves are coming off” in their approach to their opponents and they are ready to start aggressively throwing political punches in the pre-campaign phony war. Here is POLITICO’s guide to some of the key people — both on camera and behind-the-scenes — masterminding, and hoping to land, lasting blows on their opponents. In the blue cornerAlex Wild: The Conservative Party director of communications is one of the more experienced media strategists in today’s Tory Party.

By REBECCA BOONE (Associated Press)Follow live updates about wildfires burning across parts of Maui in Hawaii, destroying a historic town and forcing evacuations. The National Weather Service says Hurricane Dora, which passed south of the island chain, was partly to blame for strong winds that initially drove the flames, knocking out power and grounding firefighting helicopters.Maui Mayor Richard Bissen said in a news conference Thursday afternoon that authorities are still trying to locate and identify people who died in Lahaina when the fire raced through the town. “People whose homes are not damaged — you can come home as soon as we have recovered those who have perished,” he said. “Please allow us to complete this process.”Search and rescue teams from California and Washington state, which are trained in disaster skills including using dogs to find human remains, have been deployed to Maui to assist with the process, officials said.Maui Police Chief...

What Patriots told us about depth chart in preseason opener

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:02:38 GMT

FOXBORO — Patriots head coach Bill Belichick said this week that the players with the least experience would play the most in the Patriots’ preseason opener against the Houston Texans. That meant that Bailey Zappe got the start while Mac Jones stayed on the sideline in the 20-9 loss.Zappe was surrounded by Conor McDermott, Atonio Mafi, James Ferentz, Kody Russey and Sidy Sow on the offensive line and running back Pierre Strong, wide receivers Kayshon Boutte and Demario Douglas and tight ends Matt Sokol and Anthony Firsker at the skill positions as the Patriots’ offense took the field. Mafi, Sow, Boutte and Douglas all are rookies.Related ArticlesNew England Patriots | Callahan: Patriots offense already operating like its preparing for O-line disaster New England Patriots | Patriots fall to Texans in preseason opener in Bailey Zappe’s extended look New England Patriots | Patriots-Texans Inactives: Nine players not spotted in preg...

Patriots rookie Malik Cunningham makes playing QB look easy in preseason debut

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:02:38 GMT

FOXBORO — Patriots rookie Malik Cunningham had a novel idea midway through the fourth quarter of the team’s preseason opener against the Houston Texans after being inserted at quarterback.The Patriots should put some points on the board.“We had no touchdowns so I told the O-line, the whole group that we were going to go down to score and that’s what we did,” Cunningham said after the Patriots’ 20-9 loss to the Texans on Thursday night.Cunningham, listed as a quarterback but primarily serving as a wide receiver two weeks into training camp, scored the Patriots’ lone touchdown in the preseason loss, juking Texans linebacker Jake Hansen to score on a 9-yard scramble up the middle of the field. Cunningham was told to never let one man bring him down. He wasn’t going to let Hansen tackle him. He plowed through two other Texans defenders for good measure..@MalikMalikc10 breaking ankles.: @wbzsports pic.twitter.com/kIMDON1Pe8— New England Patriots (@Patriots) August...

Could Patriots use Ezekiel Elliott after running backs struggle in preseason opener?

Published Fri, 01 Nov 2024 00:02:38 GMT

FOXBORO — The Patriots have had several veteran free agent running backs come in for visits this preseason, but have not pulled the trigger on signing any of them – yet.Perhaps the Patriots are waiting and hoping for any of their young running backs to impress enough in the preseason to earn an opportunity behind starter Rhamondre Stevenson, which would deem adding a veteran unnecessary. But their performances in Thursday’s preseason opener didn’t exactly eliminate the Patriots’ need in the backfield.With Stevenson taking the night off with the rest of the offensive starters, no one in the backfield stood out in the Patriots’ 20-9 loss to the Texans or emerged as a favorite as New England’s No. 2 back. Pierre Strong, Kevin Harris and J.J. Taylor each received opportunities while Ty Montgomery continued to sit out injured, but behind a makeshift offensive line that didn’t give them much room to operate, they combined for just 35 rushing yards on 18 attempts.“I mean, we’re deali...
