Behind the camera talents from three of the animated programs hoping to get in at this year’s Emmys sat down with Gold Derby and discussed several topics including their favorite pieces of animation, what their favorite aspect is of telling an animated story, what kind of stories they’d like to see told through animation and the most surprising voice acting they’ve seen. This was all part of Gold Derby’s Meet the Experts panel on TV Animation that included Karina Manashil (“Entergalactic”), Sung Jin Ahn (“The Legend of Vox Machina”) and Colin Heck (“Mulligan”).

Earth gets rebooted after a foiled alien attack leads to a second chance for humanity — if new President Matty Mulligan (Nat Faxon) can get out of his own way on Netflix’s new adult animated comedy, “Mulligan.” It’s from the creative minds behind “Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt” and “30 Rock” — co-showrunners Robert Carlock and Sam Means and executive producer Tina Fey — who are well-versed in strange second chances and unpredictable relationships.
“Mulligan” concerns a group of rag-tag survivors, including Mulligan (Nat Faxon), a dopey everyman from Boston; beauty queen Lucy (Chrissy Teigen), who has a mid-invasion fling with Matty and becomes First Lady; conniving Vice President Cartwright Lamarr (Dana Carvey); historian Simon Prioleu (Sam Richardson); military super scientist Dr. Farrah Braun (Fey); and imprisoned alien general Axatrax (Phil Lamarr).
The mission statement was: Everything gets destroyed, but humanity has a chance to learn from the mistakes of the past. “So...

You could argue (and I would, although not in this post) that the two biggest cultural happenings this year are Hamilton: An American Musical and Star Wars: The Force Awakens. So when The Force Awakens director J.J. Abrams revealed that he had secretly collaborated with Hamilton writer/composer/star Lin-Manuel Miranda on the music for a new cantina scene, twitter exploded in mashup memes and gifs. You know, the way twitter does. They are all collected under #Force4Ham, and they are worth checking out. I’ve included a few of my favorites, plus a special treat from Alex Lacamoire, Hamilton’s Music Director, orchestrator, and co-arranger.
All of the tweets in this collection feature stills or gifs from Star Wars paired with lyrics from Hamilton. They are the most accessible to people unfamiliar with the show. If these pique your interest in the show, you can (and should!) check...

Boardwalk Empire, “Devil You Know”
Written by Howard Korder
Directed by Jeremy Podeswa
Aired October 12, 2014
After four seasons of deliberately paced, character-based storytelling, Boardwalk Empire wasn’t going to change its approach in its final truncated season. Instead of introducing new intrigues or foes, the series used much of its time to reflect on the paths that brought Nucky and the other main characters to this point and to say an extended goodbye to the people and world of the show. With Nucky facing off against well known historical figures, an air of doom pervades much of the final episodes before they reach their poetic, but inevitable conclusion. More intriguing is the antepenultimate episode, “Devil You Know”, which says goodbye to two of the series’ most colorful characters and powerful actors, Michael Shannon’s George Mueller/Nelson Van Alden and Michael K. Williams’ Chalky White. Shannon’s intense and frequently...

Introduction
Welcome to the first installment of “Living Pictures on the Small Screen,” a weekly column dedicated to animated programming on television. Cultural commentary inevitably comes with bias, and I wanted to create this column in appreciation of the people and shows that helped me overcome my own bias regarding animation. Like most kids in my socioeconomic sphere, I grew up watching cartoons. Some of them were legitimately good (Batman: The Animated Series and Rocko’s Modern Life) and some of them were simply there when I turned the TV on after school (Inspector Gadget and Cow and Chicken). Once I started taking film and television more seriously as an adult, it was hard not to associate animation with childhood. It was even harder to appreciate animated films and series–which I had to view from a distance, since I wasn’t witnessing real people on the screen–alongside things...

Nominations for the 41st Annual Annie Awards were announced and "Frozen" and "Monsters University" led the pack with 10 nominations each. "Despicable Me 2" and "The Croods" followed closely with 9 noms each.
I am rooting for "Frozen" to win! It's a return to form to what Disney does best -- affecting fairy tale with memorable musical numbers. "Monsters University," on the other hand, was bland. The film bored me on second viewing.
Steven Spielberg will receive the Winsor McCay Award for career achievement at the awards ceremony happening on Saturday, Feb. 1, at Royce Hall on the UCLA campus. Patrick Warburton will serve as host.
