Last Year’s Winner: “Sherlock: The Abominable Bride”
Hot Streak: HBO has won more awards in this category than all the other networks combined. They have 19 total Emmys. CBS and NBC are tied for the second highest total – six.
Fun Fact: “Jackie” fans take note: The First Lady was awarded an Emmy for “A Tour of the White House,” her famous televised walking tour that highlighted the historical alterations and preservations she’d help make to the White House. Jackie Kennedy remains the only First Lady to win a statue (though Michelle Obama’s “Billy on the Street” segment was nominated in 2015).

Jackie is a searing and intimate portrait of one of the most important and tragic moments in American history, seen through the eyes of the iconic First Lady, then Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy (Natalie Portman). Jackie places us in her world during the days immediately following her husband’s assassination. Known for her extraordinary dignity and poise, here we see a psychological portrait of the First Lady as she struggles to establish her husband’s legacy and the world of “Camelot” that she created and loved so well.
Jackie unites award-winning director Pablo Larraín (Neruda, No) with Academy Award®-winning actress Natalie Portman as they re-imagine the private side of one of the most profound moments of the 20th Century.
Jackie opens in St. Louis on Wednesday, December 21st.

What Are You Watching? is a weekly space for The A.V Club’s film critics and readers to share their thoughts, observations, and opinions on movies new and old.
My thoughts on Paterson will have to wait until we run A.A. Dowd’s review of the film. So what else have I seen lately? Pablo Larraín’s widely fêted Jackie struck me as over-determined and textual, like a Todd Haynes movie without a sensual side. Say what you will about Haynes’ academic commentaries and significations of repressed desires, but at least they’re always related through his fascination with glamor, mystique, and period forms. It even has a couple of Haynes-esque aesthetic devices; it’s shot on grainy, anachronistic Super 16mm and is partly structured around a studious recreation of the black-and-white 1962 TV special A Tour Of The White House.

There are few things more deflating than the prospect of yet another Great Man biopic, a genre that's prone to cause even the best directors to stumble. The resulting films are often too rambling, too unfocused, too unnecessary—either misguided passion projects or empty stabs at “respectability.” In that respect, Jackie (Chilean director Pablo Larraín's second foray into biopic territory this year, after Neruda) sets itself apart. Centering on Jacqueline Bouvier Kennedy (Natalie Portman) and largely confining its focus to the hours and days following her husband’s assassination in 1963, it’s less a biopic and more an intimate refraction of a national tragedy. And although somewhat uneven, it remains an intriguing, if frustrating affair—both a plunge into history and myth and a look at its creation, the manner by which “one brief shining moment that was known as Camelot” became embedded into a national consciousness.Opening at...

With more than 8 hours of interviews to play with, ABC has plenty of clips from Jackie Kennedy's previously sealed oral history to dole out. Here are some videos, from the ABC special Jacqueline Kennedy: In Her Own Words and from Jackie's original Tour of the White House. See more video and my review of Diane Sawyer's ABC special here. From the ABC program, Jackie recalls her "happiest days" in the White House: From her original A Tour of The White House with Mrs.John F. Kennedy. Stiff-looking by today's standards, in its day the hugely popular special offered an unprecedented…...
