What's still developing
- Taylor Swift, Noah Kahan and the original Charlie’s Angels couldn’t help prevent a ratings drop-off for Monday night’s 68th annual Primetime Emmy Awards.
- Both Oppenheim and Pattinson said they don’t mind the meme factor when it comes to their work, especially for something like Primetime because Hansen was such a viral-ready star long before that was part of the cultural lexicon.
- Pattinson said when he was younger and started getting into movies, he noticed how his classmates at school would always imitate individual lines from whatever big movie had just come out.
- Chris Hansen is not at the Venice Film Festival for this weekend’s world premiere of a film inspired by his work on To Catch a Predator, but the man still proved to be the center of attention during Primetime ‘s press conference.
- Oppenheim’s Primetime will be released theatrically in the United States by A24 on Sept.
- “I heard you got married,” NFL Primetime host Chris Berman said to Kelce in a preview of the Sept. 14 interview.
- Beyond Apple TV’s wins, tonight’s ceremony also saw awards go to: Apple TV is available for $14.99 per month or as part of the Apple One bundle.
- While the fall TV slate is filled with some hot-ticket shows, none of them appear to be an obvious Pitt -slayer at first glance.

- He’s now back in his traditional primetime 7pm slot, three nights a week, Tuesday to Thursday.
- Much more ambitious, and probably more costly though, are plans for a new online Reform Party TV channel on YouTube.
