2013 Primetime Emmy Awards: The Winners

2013 Emmy Winners

Emmy voters went a bit crazy with this year’s votes and the list of winners is loaded with surprises revealed during an otherwise mediocre show. Neil Patrick Harris gave it his best, but the 2013 Primetime Emmy Awards just didn’t have any energy or flow. What it did have were some of the biggest upsets in recent Emmy memory.

The show kicked off with Nurse Jackie‘s Merritt Wever winning in the Supporting Actress in a Comedy Series category, and most certainly Wever didn’t expect to be taking the stage to accept an award. In fact, the only thing Wever could manage to say on stage was, “Oh, my God. Thank you. Thanks so much. Thank you so much. I’ve got to go. Bye.”

Also pulling off surprise wins were Stephen Colbert toppling Jon Stewart’s reign in the Outstanding Variety Series category, The Voice beating Emmy-favorite The Amazing Race to take home the Outstanding Reality-Competition Program Emmy, and Jeff Daniels collecting the Outstanding Lead Actor In A Drama Series for The Newsroom over Bryan Cranston for Breaking Bad, Hugh Bonneville for Downton Abbey, Damian Lewis for Homeland, Jon Hamm for Mad Men, and Kevin Spacey for House of Cards.

Movie Review: ‘Prisoners’

Prisoners Movie Review
Hugh Jackman and Paul Dano star in 'Prisoners' (Photo © Warner Bros Pictures)
“Do you have children, detective?” asks a grief-stricken Grace Dover (Maria Bello). “I’m going to find your daughter,” replies Detective Loki who’s working the case of the Dovers’ and their friends the Birchs’ six-year-old daughters who went missing on Thanksgiving day in the mystery/thriller, Prisoners.

After frantically searching for the girls to no avail, Keller Dover calls 911 to report his daughter Anna (Erin Gerasimovich) missing. The one lead the family and the police have is a run-down old RV that had been parked on their street earlier that day that Keller’s son says the girls had been playing around and climbing on its ladder.

After finding the RV, Detective Loki arrests its driver, Alex Jones (Paul Dano), but a lack of evidence and the fact that Alex seems to have the mental capacity of a 10 year old leaves the police no choice but to release him.

Hearing Jones has been released, Dover – who’s convinced he knows where the girls are – decides he has no choice but to take the law into his own hands and kidnap Jones. He takes Jones to his father’s old house, ties him up, and begins his own form of questioning.

Powerful and suspenseful, Prisoners is an extremely well-crafted mystery/thriller with superb performances from its cast. Hugh Jackman deserves to be considered for an Oscar nomination for his portrayal of Keller Dover, a hard-edged man who loves his family and feels deeply as though he has failed them in allowing his little child to be taken from him and her mother. It’s a raw, emotional, and riveting performance, and the best of Jackman’s career.

Jake Gyllenhaal is extremely effective as Loki the determined detective with a perfect track record for solving cases who gets too close to the family and the case. It’s perhaps his best performance since 2007’s Zodiac. Maria Bello captures perfectly the horrible denial, despair, and depression Grace goes through during the hours and days of the search for her missing daughter.

The cinematography of the film is visually impressive, with the use of streetlights and blurring headlights as Detective Loki speeds down the streets, the shots of characters through rain-soaked windows, and the gray, damp, cold of the houses.

The pacing of Prisoners is, unfortunately, its drawback being incredibly slow at times and bringing the tension to a full stop. It’s also 30 minutes too long.

Dark, disturbing, and compelling, Prisoners is without a doubt one of the best dramas of the year with some of the best performances which should be remembered during Oscar season.

GRADE: B

Prisoners is rated R for disturbing violent content including torture, and language throughout.

Vin Diesel loves social media. He’s big on Facebook (47 million likes to the page he personally runs), and anything he’s allowed to share while working on a film, he happily shares with his fans. The latest goodie from the Fast and Furious 7 set is a short-but-sweet video with Vin thanking his fans as he gets ready to shoot a scene on the first day of filming.

And Diesel also posted this behind-the-scenes shot on his Facebook page:>

“The first week of filming, has been both intense and surreal… P.s. One from set… a more somber moment in Our Saga…”

Music Spotlight: King the Kid Covers Miley Cyrus’ “Wrecking Ball”

King the Kid’s cover of Miley Cyrus’ chart-topping hit “Wrecking Ball” is better than the original – or at least the video as entertaining as watching a naked Cyrus swing around on a giant ball. Their cover of Cyrus’ single has generated nearly 1 million views on Youtube for the Oregon-based three-man group who just released their first album (Start Something).

Sleepy Hollow just got a bit cooler. Fringe‘s John Noble has been confirmed to have a recurring guest starring role in the new dramatic series starring Tom Mison and Nicole Beharie. Noble will be playing Henry Parrish, “a kind and reclusive man who possesses supernatural powers that have the potential to help the series’ protagonist, Ichabod Crane.” His episodes will be broadcast later this season.
 
The new Fox series debuted on September 16, 2013 to 10.1 million viewers, an audience large enough to make Sleepy Hollow the most-watched new Fox drama in seven years. The series was co-created by Alex Kurtzman, Roberto Orci, Phillip Iscove, and Len Wiseman, with Wiseman directing the pilot episode.
 
Details on Sleepy Hollow:
 
A modern-day twist on Washington Irving’s classic, Sleepy Hollow follows Ichabod Crane who is resurrected and pulled two and a half centuries through time to unravel a mystery that dates all the way back to the founding fathers. To save the enigmatic town of Sleepy Hollow – and the world – from unprecedented evil, Ichabod pairs up with Det. Abbie Mills, a young cop whose own supernatural experiences help the two form an unlikely bond.

FX Shows Off a New ‘American Horror Story: Coven’ Poster and Teaser Trailer

By
Rebecca Murray

It just gets freakier and freakier, doesn’t it? The more teasers I see of FX’s American Horror Story: Coven, the more I’m convinced this will be the most bizarre season yet. In support of the upcoming premiere on October 9, 2013 at 10pm, FX has unveiled a new poster, a new ‘Burn’ teaser video, and an extended cut of ‘Initiation.’

The Plot:

Coven tells the secret history of witches and witchcraft in America. Over 300 years have passed since the turbulent days of the Salem witch trials and those who managed to escape are now facing extinction. Mysterious attacks have been escalating against their kind and young girls are being sent away to a special school in New Orleans to learn how to protect themselves. Wrapped up in the turmoil is new arrival, Zoe (Farmiga), who is harboring a terrifying secret of her own.

Alarmed by the recent aggression, Fiona (Lange), the long-absent Supreme, sweeps back into town, determined to protect the Coven and hell-bent on decimating anyone who gets in her way.
