Just a few months after the 2023 Emmy Awards were held after a strike-related delay comes the 2024 Emmy Awards and a full weekend dedicated to the Creative Arts Emmys on September 7 and September 8 at the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live. An edited version of both ceremonies will air on Fxx at 11 p.m. Et on September 14 and stream on Hulu from September 15 through October 9.

Presenters over both nights included Olympian B-Boy Victor Montalvo, Mike Birbiglia, Nikki Glaser, Lucy Liu, Jane Lynch, Tig Notaro, Fisher Stevens, and Hannah Waddingham.

Another Pride Month is just about over, but there's one day left. The greatest possible way you could spend this night? Rocking out to Taylor Mac's 24-Decade History of Popular Music, one of the best documentaries of the year and certainly the most musically unique. The film explores an event put on by the multi-hyphenate artist Taylor Mac in which Mac spent 24 hours performing a stage show with music, costumes, and banter that chronologically depicted the history of America. It was a bold, draining, powerful, and damn entertaining piece of performance art, and the legendary documentarians Rob Epstein and Jeffrey Friedman have made a brilliant film about it.

Epstein and Friedman are icons in the documentary space (though they've also directed narrative features like Lovelace and Howl), having begun in the late '70s with extremely compelling queer documentaries that were unfortunately ahead of their time. The directing duo...

"This isn't like a regular concert." HBO has revealed an official trailer for documentary film called Taylor Mac's 24-Decade History of Popular Music, which is less of a music history doc and more of a unique concert film. It's premiering next week at the 2023 Tribeca Film Festival before streaming on Max later this month. The film captures Taylor Mac's exuberant, blatantly gay 24-hour musical performance in NYC in 2016, featuring skilled musicians, creative costumes, and the American myth as recounted through sailor's ditties, disco, & sugary pop. "Rich with stunning musical performances, surprising and revelatory historical interpretation, comedic banter, and audience interaction, the performance is intercut with intimate off-stage interviews with Mac and his closest collaborators. In the interview, Mac, who uses the gender pronoun 'judy,' outlines judy's personal story and artistic aim 'to dream the culture forward.' The film also offers a behind-the-scenes window into the work of costume designer Machine Dazzle,...
