Congratulations to promising young newcomer Daniel Radcliffe, who just got his very first Emmy nomination!
Hey, I just got MY very first nominations too! In fact, I’m thrilled to say that WEIRD: The Al Yankovic Story received a total of 8 EMMY NOMINATIONS this morning!!! We’re up for Outstanding Television Movie, Lead Actor, Script, Song (“Now You Know”), Score, Casting, Editing, and Sound Mixing.
Winners will supposedly be announced in September (depending on the strike situation). Very, very excited about this - thanks, Television Academy!
