Mark Sutherland If last year’s Brit Awards went out with something of a COVID-restricted whimper, this year’s ceremony came in with a bang.Several bangs in fact, as an unexpected mash-up between emo-metal hybrid Bring Me The Horizon and Ed Sheeran on the latter’s “Bad Habits” launched the show to, no doubt, the bewilderment of mums and dads tuning in at home and expecting the nice, ginger-next-door they usually see at events like this. The arena, however, was ablaze — quite literally, as the unlikely collaborators became the first of several performers to torch the stage.Held at The O2 Arena in south London, this year’s Brits — unlike last year’s event — took place in a country that is largely free of COVID restrictions.

Everyone needs a good cry every now and then. For Will Arnett, it happened on the side of the road. To be fair, the BoJack Horseman actor had recently split with Amy Poehler after nine years of marriage.

Jason Sudeikis, 45, stood in solidarity with England’s national soccer team at the season 2 premiere of his hit Apple TV+ series, Ted Lasso, on Thursday, July 15. The Emmy-nominated actor attended the Los Angeles-based event wearing a black T-shirt that said the first names of U.K. soccer players Jadon Sancho, Marcus Rashford, and Bukayo Saka, who were all racially trolled on social media after their devastating Euro 2020 loss to Italy on Sunday. Jason plays the manager of an English soccer club in Ted Lasso, so it seemed fitting that he would throw his support behind the players after they were subjected to the horrific racist comments.

Variety chief TV critics Daniel D’Addario and Caroline Framke run through the most interesting and exciting honors.D’Addario: “Game of Thrones” is long gone, but here’s one way its impact is still felt — genre has taken over the Emmys. “The Mandalorian” shares the most-nominated-series distinction (with “The Crown,” which at times can feel like high fantasy in its own way).

With every year’s Emmy nominations announcement comes question marks and raised eyebrows as some nominations are deemed unexpected. Titles like "Ted Lasso," "WandaVision" and "The Crown" dominated their respective categories this year, leaving little space for competition that many thought would surely squeak their way into this year’s honorees.

Jason Sudeikis has opened up about his breakup from ex-fiancée Olivia Wilde, revealing that he is not entirely sure about the reasons behind the separation. The Ted Lasso  who shares two children with Wilde, 37, reflected on the end of the more than seven year relationship during an interview with GQ for the magazine’s August cover, where he confirmed that they split in November 2020.

The good book says joy cometh in the morning, but today’s unveiling of the 73rd Primetime Emmy Awards nominations distinctly lacked such jubilation for some.

Viewers fell hard for the undeniably likable title character and the ensemble of memorable characters around him, but the producers have to be wondering if those same fans will return to the pitch now that the world has started to regain its normalcy.
