The Future of Awards Shows Is Here
|
One might think that moving from TV to streaming would have dulled the glamour and gravitas of Sunday night’s Screen Actors Guild Awards. But according to VF’s own Katey Rich, one would be wrong. The show elected to insert montages of moments from past SAG telecasts in lieu of commercials, which wound up making it feel more like a vintage awards show—one that didn’t have to worry about dwindling viewership or meeting broadcast standards. “For once, freed from the pressure of ad breaks and having to wrap in time for the 11 o’clock news, an awards show felt like it was actually enjoying itself,” she writes, “leaving time to celebrate the past as well as the present.”
Elsewhere in HWD, Ke Huy Quan takes Fawnia Soo Hoo through his awards season looks; Wayne Lawson recounts the delicate dance of ghostwriting Gloria Swanson’s autobiography; Richard Madden and Priyanka Chopra Jonas preview their upcoming spy show, Citadel; and Saturday Night Live’s best and brightest tell Donald Liebenson all about the origins of this year’s most viral sketch, “Lisa From Temecula.”
