HBO’s anthology series “True Detective” is back after five years with a new season that will compete at the 2024 Emmy Awards. This latest installment that premiered in January comes with the subtitle “True Detective: Night Country” and, while still part of the franchise, it’s the first to not have the involvement of creator Nic Pizzolato – other than his executive producer credit. It was instead developed by Issa Lopez who wrote (or co-wrote) and directed all six episodes, and stars Jodie Foster and Kali Reis as detectives in an Alaskan town investigating the disappearance of eight scientists. Let’s re-examine the three previous seasons of “True Detective” at the Emmys – which garnered a combined total of 22 nominations and five wins – to determine possible nominations in categories for the current season.
Here is the complete Emmys history for the first three seasons of “True Detective”:

In 1997, Mark Pellington made his feature directorial debut with “Going All the Way,” based on Dan Wakefield’s novel of the same name. Telling the story of two Korean War veterans returning to their hometown of Indianapolis in the 1950s, the film featured an impressive cast of then-unknowns — Ben Affleck, Jeremy Davies, Rachel Weisz, Rose McGowan, and Nick Offerman among them. The film screened at Sundance, got solid reviews and a distribution deal… and then disappeared for 25 years. Pellington, while proud of the film, never felt like he quite captured what he had loved about Wakefield’s book, and the various edits the movie went through — from a three-hour-plus rough cut to the 112-minute Sundance version to the 97-minute movie that was ultimately released in theaters — left him feeling like he had taken the guts out of the story.

In the third season of HBO’s “True Detective,” Mahershala Ali’s Arkansas cop, Wayne Hays, is haunted for more than 30 years by a disturbing mystery involving two missing kids. Showrunner Nic Pizzolatto weaves a complex narrative, juggling three timelines, and tearing away at Hays’ very soul. And, as sole editor, Emmy-nominated Leo Trombetta had the advantage of keeping track of the important character arcs across all eight episodes, but reaching the point of no return in the pivotal fifth episode, “If You Have Ghosts,” directed by Pizzolatto.
“‘Pivotal’ is the perfect word to describe this episode,” Trombetta said. “Up to this point, the story was being told strictly from the point of view of Wayne Hays, a retired detective in the early stages of Alzheimer’s. By the end of the episode, however, things shift dramatically when Wayne and his partner Roland [Stephen Dorff] agree, despite their advanced ages,...

City of Lies, also known as LAbyrinth, is directed by Brad Furman and is based off the book LAbyrinth by Randall Sullivan. The film stars Johnny Depp and Forest Whitaker as Russell Poole and Jack Jackson, respectively. The former, a seasoned Lapd Detective who is embroiled into the murders of Christopher Wallace and Tupac Shakur. The latter, an equally as seasoned reporter who is digging deeper in the case for his newspaper’s anniversary retrospective about the murders. Furman’s film is what I feared it would be – a conspiracy theory baited drama on the killings themselves without much substance found anywhere else.
The core of the film follows the investigation,...

Mad Men, Season 5, Episode 4: “Mystery Date”
Written by Victor Levin & Matthew Weiner
Directed by Matt Shakman
Airs Sundays at 9pm (Et) on AMC
Set against the tense landscape of Richard Speck’s, July 1966 rapes and killings, and the ever-present specter of the Vietnam War, ‘Mystery Date’ is without doubt the strongest episode produced by the show to date.
Exploring the untenable nature of desire and its encompassing issues, the fourth episode blends wonderfully measured suspense, subtle humour and adorns it with an understated, but perfectly scored soundscape. The overwhelming, foreboding tension affords this episode uniqueness amongst the Mad Men pantheon. Pardoning the cliché, ‘Mystery Date’ can literally be described as heart-poundingly suspenseful and should receive due praise come Emmy nod time.
This week, Don is plagued by both a cough that won’t dissipate and as Megan describes it – his “careless appetite” for other women. Following Betty’s cancer scare last week,...

Over the weekend the American Cinema Editors (Ace) held their annual awards, where The Social Network, Alice in Wonderland and Toy Story 3 took honors for feature editing in the dramatic, comedy/musical and animated categories. But the highlight of the night may have been the lifetime achievement award given to Michael Kahn, presented by Steven Spielberg. That award was accompanied by a reel highlighting the master editor's many credits, and in the spirit of celebrating someone who has been an invaluable but often invisible contributor to many of the films we love, we present the highlight reel after the break. Mr. Kahn's long collaboration with Steven Spielberg dominates this reel, but there are a handful of other major films represented here, too. The fact that one man has been instrumental to so many major films of the last forty years is simply staggering. (With respect to that collaboration with Steven Spielberg,...

Last night we tweeted some teasers from our gig on the Ace Eddie Awards Red Carpet, but there were a few things we left out. Held at the Beverly Hilton in Los Angeles, the night was a fancy affair for sure, but also a celebration of an art, that in so many ways, is invisible. As Eddie winner for "Temple Grandin" Leo Trombetta said it, "[our job] is to make sure our work doesn't draw attention to itself," but last night was an event meant to shine a light on the men and women who sit in small dark rooms…...

American Cinema Editors (Ace) tonight announced the winners for the 61st Annual Ace Eddie Awards recognizing outstanding editing in nine categories of film, television and documentaries.

Yesterday came the yearly announcement from the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences as it extended 134 invitations to several artists and executives "who have distinguished themselves by their contributions to theatrical motion pictures" read the press release. Of course all of them can decline, but I wouldn't necessarily expect that to happen as all who accept the invitation will be the only additions in 2009 to the Academy's roster of voting members. "These filmmakers have, over the course of their careers, captured the imagination of audiences around the world," said Academy President Sid Ganis. "It's this kind of talent and creativity that make up the Academy, and I welcome each of them to our ranks." The list follows below and reading around the best analysis I saw of it came from Nathaniel Rogers at The Film Experience who, among other things, pointed out the addition of longtime Darren Aronofsky's...

On Tuesday, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences issued invitations to 134 members of the film community to join the group. There were a maximum of 166 open slots to fill this year, but the various branch committees endorsed fewer candidates than were proposed to them.
Hugh Jackman, who hosted the most recent Oscar show, has been invited to join. So have Anne Hathaway, Emily Blunt, James Franco and Michelle Williams. The list even includes a number of comic performers like Michael Cera, Seth Rogan and Paul Rudd.
Voting membership in the organization has held steady at just under 6,000 members since 2003.
New members will be welcomed into the Academy at an invitation-only reception at the Academy's Fairbanks Center for Motion Picture Study in Beverly Hills in September.

CANNES -- Vincent D'Onofrio and Joe Pantoliano are teaming to star in "Little Victories", the feature directorial debut of film editor Leo Trombetta. Mark and Michael Polish, who collaborated with Trombetta on their films "Twin Falls Idaho" and the upcoming "Northfork", will produce along with Brigitte Mueller and Martin Scorsese's producing partner, Barbara De Fina, through Cappa Prods. Penned by Trombetta as a semiautobiographical tale, "Little Victories" centers on a 12-year-old boy whose world view is irrevocably altered when his gangster uncle comes to stay with him after being tossed out the house by his wife. Tony Manne is handling the foreign sales for "Victories" through his sales company Bristol Media, which is in Cannes for the first time after launching in March 2002. Bristol is also handling the recently announced "Brides", a co-production among Alco Films, Cappa Prods. and K.G Prods., which is being executive produced by Scorsese. Trombetta's editing credits include "Green Dragon", "Going All the Way" and "Amongst Friends".
