Barack Obama has previously won two Grammys. Hollywood newcomer Barack Obama was awarded an Emmy for narrating his Netflix documentary series "Our Great National Parks," the Television Academy announced Saturday. The former two-term US president had already won a pair of Grammy Awards -- for audio versions of his memoirs "The Audacity of Hope" and "Dreams from My Father" -- so he now only needs an Oscar and a Tony to complete the estimable EGOT. According to an Entertainment Weekly tracker, only 17 people have achieved an EGOT, including Mel Brooks, Whoopie Goldberg, Audrey Hepburn and -- most recently -- Jennifer Hudson. One other president had already been awarded an Emmy -- Dwight D. Eisenhower in 1956 -- although his was an honorary award.

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin The Crown is skyrocketing in popularity in the wake of Queen Elizabeth’s death, ascending to #4 in the Netflix Top 10 charts and with viewership up 800% over the course of the last week. With four seasons of The Crown released, viewers are reaching the end and no doubt wondering when it’s returning. Well, it’s coming back in a pretty timely fashion for its fifth season, and production was briefly paused on its sixth and final season in the wake of the Queen’s death. The Crown season 5’s release date is November 2022 , just two months away, though we do not have an exact date yet, only that month. These final two seasons will once again recast almost all major roles with new actors as the show moves through the different era’s of the Queen’s life, and season 5 appears as if it will be about the controversial era of Diana’s split from Charles and her tragic death, events that were covered in the Oscar-winning The … [Read more...] about Here’s ‘The Crown’ Season 5 Release Date And New Cast, As It Surges 800% On Netflix

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Contributing Author: Bryan Sullivan We have all become numb to the “based on a true story” line we see at the beginning of our favorite TV shows, especially when ones like “Inventing Anna” turn it into an opening gimmick. But what does “based on a true story” mean and how true to the truth do producers and writers have to be? Do creators have licenses to bend and stretch the truth to conform to their storylines? In the past year, Netflix NFLX has been sued twice for its alleged defamation of individuals mentioned in two of its series, “The Queen’s Gambit” and “Inventing Anna.” On September 16, 2021, widely renounced chess player Nona Gaprindashvili filed a lawsuit against Netflix for its false light invasion of privacy and defamation of her name in their one-season original hit “The Queen's Gambit”, based on the Walter Tevis novel. “The Queen's Gambit” follows a fictional orphan, Beth Harmon, in her inspiring … [Read more...] about Netflix’s ‘The Queen’s Gambit’ And ‘Inventing Anna’ Subjects Of Defamation Lawsuit

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Netflix is doubling down on its plans to offer ad-supported plans after two straight quarters of subscriber losses. The success of the new plan will be important for Netflix NFLX , as it needs to bolster subscriber additions and monetization in order to fund its massive content investments and shore up its stock price, which has declined by 61% year to date. Below we take a look at how the new offering is expected to impact Netflix. With continuous price hikes, Netflix services have become pricey versus the competition. The company’s most popular high-definition plan is priced at over $15 per month. In comparison, Disney+ costs about $8 per month. This is proving an issue for Netflix, given that rising inflation is hurting household budgets and consumer spending, just at a time when people are relying a bit less on streaming as a means of entertainment post the Covid-19 lockdowns. With the new ad-supported tier, which … [Read more...] about Will Netflix’s Advertising Strategy Work?

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin A new way of ranking brands suggests that YouTube and Amazon are winning against streaming giant Netflix, while a host of smaller players are catching it from behind. YouTube and Prime Video ranked one and two, respectively, while the fastest-growing streaming brands are Pluto TV, HBO Max, Hulu, Peacock TV, and Tubi. “You see the free services driving, massive, massive engagement,” Digital Turbine’s Gregory Wester told me yesterday. Netflix still has massive brand power and engagement, however, as Wester added. And its coming ad-supported tier could re-ignite growth. The insights come from a new kind of mobile growth report, the BRAG index from mobile analytics firm Apptopia and mobile advertising platform Digital Turbine. The Brand Relative App Growth analysis measures brand awareness and interest as well as install volume and velocity across smartphones, tablets, and other connected devices. It’s the kind of … [Read more...] about YouTube, Amazon Muscling Ahead Of Netflix, While Pluto, HBO, Hulu, And Peacock Chase From Behind

Share to Twitter Share to Linkedin Yesterday, Netflix released yet another video game anime adaptation, though this one with a lot of baggage attached. That would be Cyberpunk Edgerunners , an anime set in the world of Cyberpunk 2077, the infamous CDPR game that launched in a disastrous state and has been fixing itself ever since. But through it all, you could tell that at the very least, the world they’d built was an interesting, engaging one, and that’s what Edgerunners is exploring. From Trigger, the top-notch anime studio, we have what can only be described as an unqualified success on our hands here. Cyberpunk Edgerunners is a phenomenal series, taking the potential of CDPR’s Night City and running wild with it in a gory, sexy, strangely sad and compelling action series that I would recommend to absolutely anyone (uh, anyone over 18, that is). The show is set in Night City and while it does not directly cross over with the game, that’s somewhat … [Read more...] about Netflix’s ‘Cyberpunk Edgerunners’ Is Absolutely Incredible
