Michael Schneider Variety Editor at LargeAmazon Prime Video’s “The Underground Railroad” and Netflix’s “Bo: Burnham: Inside” are among the final round of entertainment series to be honored by the Peabody Awards this year.
The last crop of winners were announced Thursday morning.“The Underground Railroad” award was presented by Ibram X. Kendi. “In Colson Whitehead’s 2016 novel, the figuratively magical network that aided enslaved people in their pursuit of freedom took on a real mythical valence: the miracle of The Underground Railroad was powered by a literal locomotive,” said Peabody in its description of the winner. “Director Barry Jenkins’s adaptation of Whitehead’s book follows the enslaved Cora, weaving in an immersive sensory experience of the land that both aided and foiled her, poignant moments of connection between characters spanning generations, and weighty lessons about the utter devastation of the transatlantic slave trade.” It’s the latest kudo for the limited series, which comes from Plan B, Pastel and Big Indie, with Amazon Studios.As for “Bo Burnham: Inside,” Peabody noted that “Bo Burnham’s comedy special doubles as a multimedia tour de force, an artistic manifesto, and a lockdown diary.
Every new comedic musical number, with titles like ‘FaceTime with My Mom (Tonight),’ ‘Problematic,’ and ‘White Woman’s Instagram,’ feels like a call for help—the kind that gets louder and all the more disquieting the more it drones on.
