insider.com/emmys-nominees…

This year's nominees include fan favorites like #WandaVision, #Bridgerton, and #Blackish.

Some of the picks were more controversial, such as #EmilyInParis, which was nominated for best comedy and yet currently only sits at 63% on Rotten Tomatoes.

Do you think Emily in Paris should have been nominated for an Emmy for Best Comedy?

@jezpswift

A less contentious best comedy nominee is #TedLasso, a sweet show about an American football coach who moves to the UK to coach soccer.

Star Jeremy Swift (@jezpswift) credits the show's success to its positive attitude.

"Ted Lasso" is so endearing that it's even impacting real-world workplaces and how managers are communicating with their employees.

@SusanPolgar

A popular nominee in the drama category is #TheQueensGambit, which is about a chess prodigy who struggles with addiction.

Chess grandmaster @SusanPolgar rated the show a 9/10 for its accurate chess scenes.

@Lin_Manuel

For the lead actor in a limited or anthology series or movie category, both @Lin_Manuel and @leslieodomjr were nominated for the filmed version of #Hamilton, which Odom nearly didn't star in due to him almost quitting acting.

Between just the two actors from "Hamilton," who do you think should win the Emmy for lead actor in a limited or anthology series or movie category?

@ViacomCBS

If you want to tune in to the Emmys tonight to see which shows take home the grand prize, you can either watch the show on @ViacomCBS or stream it on @paramountplus.

Though, don't expect to see all your favorite Hollywood stars.

Celebrities like Jennifer Aniston still aren't comfortable with large crowds due to #COVID19 and won't be in attendance.

#TedLasso won at the #Emmys for comedy series. In one of the show's scenes, this 26,000-seat stadium looks filled to the brim, but what most people don't know is the crowd is mostly made of fake people who weren't even filmed in a stadium.

@Barnstorm_VFX

This soccer scene was filmed during the pandemic, so in order to keep actors safe and to limit the number of extras on set, production team @Barnstorm_VFX had to get creative using fake people.

In order to make the shot look real, the Barnstorm team used a few different techniques including crowd tiling, plate extras, and motion-capture animation.

@Pixar

🎥 To infinity and beyond! Since @Pixar's first release in 1995, each movie has brought at least one groundbreaking innovation, changing the future of animation and moviemaking.

We look at how every Pixar movie brought animation into the future. 👇

Every Pixar movie has introduced its own technical problems, but it only pushed the studio to expand its technology.

"Toy Story" was the first 3D-animated feature film to use RenderMan, a program that combines all the 3D assets created for each frame of a movie and translates them into a film-quality photorealistic final image.

@SharonNJGaffka

.@SharonNJGaffka appeared on the current series of #loveisland and spoke to @thisisinsider about her time on the show.

She said that "a lot of candid" conversations about race between the contestants weren’t aired.

insider.com/love-island-sh…

Love Island has sparked many discussions in previous years about diversity. On multiple occasions, diverse contestants were left single or overlooked.

Despite this, there has never been an explicit discussion about how race impacts dating on the show.

insider.com/love-island-sh…

Sharon told Insider she thinks an open conversation about problems faced in the dating world by women of different races would’ve been a positive addition to the show.

It would have been a chance to acknowledge that others have these same problems too.

After years of anticipation, Black Widow is finally getting her own breakout film.

But what does it take for Scarlett Johansson to transform into the role?

Personal trainer Eric Johnson shares how he helped Scarlett get in shape to play #BlackWidow.

Scarlett Johansson has portrayed the Black Widow character in Marvel films for over a decade.

But when she first got the role in 2009, Scarlett said had never stepped foot in a gym.

So she began meeting with celebrity personal trainer, Eric Johnson.

To help prepare Scarlett for the role, they agreed to focus on strength and functional movement, rather than looks.

“We want to prepare the actor for anything that’s thrown at them, so they can do what they do best, and that’s act,” Eric explained.
