When the Smithsonian Institution launched a new series of events this week called Our Shared Future: Reckoning with Our Racial Past, it included a streamed forum from Los Angeles, where participants were immersed in an LED set and their discussion interspersed with taped testimonials on race from a diversity of Americans.
It’s just a start of what producers hope will draw participants from around the country in a conversation on race, using what is called “experiential” media.
Smithsonian tapped Don Mischer’s production company, which in 2020 launched Dm.Experiential, after Smithsonian Institution Secretary Lonnie Bunch had worked with him on the ABC special Taking The Stage: African American Music and Stories that Changed America, tied to the opening of the National Museum of African American History and Culture.

The American Comedy Awards lives again. NBC announced today it will revive the franchise created by George Schlatter in the late ’80s. Competitors began snarking that it’s likely to be the only funny TV hit NBC has on all season, which is just cold — NBC’s not having such a great season in primetime with comedy so far, it’s true (though it’s having a fine time with football, The Voice, The Blacklist, etc.). Getting back to the American Comedy Awards, the franchise aired for many years on broadcast TV — ABC had it a while, Fox appears to have taken a quick stab, causing the franchise to bleed in the ratings. It moved to Comedy Central for one year and was laid to rest in ’01.

Don Mischer will direct the 85th Academy Awards telecast, it was announced today by producers Craig Zadan and Neil Meron. Mischer has directed the telecast several times before, including 2011's 83rd Oscars, which was largely critically reviled, due in part to James Franco's lethargic co-hosting job. Mischer was nominated for directing Emmys for the 2011 and 2012 shows. Contining his ongoing association with Hollywood's biggest night, Mischer Productions' Charlie Haykel and Juliane Hare will again also produce the Oscar pre-show. It's obviously a safe choice for the Academy after last year, when Brett Ratner was initially slated to produce the show...

Stuntman Hal Needham boasts in his autobiography that he “broke 56 bones, my back twice, punctured a lung and knocked out a few teeth.”
Those are the trophies from a life spent falling off horses, crashing cars, and plummeting from buildings for the sake of the movies. Now he can add a less painful one to the list — an honorary Academy Award.

Sure, sure. It’s a TV special honoring Eddie Murphy…but it’s one of those all-star comedy tributes to Eddie Murphy. Very much like when NBC did the Dean Martin roasts. This one will celebrate 30 years of Murphy’s groundbreaking career. I’m not embarrassed to say I’ve been a long time Murphy fan and still feel there was a missed opportunity to have him as host of the Academy Awards earlier this year.
