Opening his remarks to a crowd in the backyard of his Kalorama neighborhood home, Ireland’s Ambassador Daniel Mulhall quipped, “I’m kind of wondering: Is it legal to have so many people at a party?”
He was speaking at the Bytes & Bylines event on Thursday evening, in what could be described as a kickoff to a weekend of receptions, parties, brunches and special dinners surrounding Saturday’s White House Correspondents’ Association dinner. Covid cancellations in the past two years have put much of D.C.’s social swirl on hold or in a rather tentative state. And despite a contagious variant that spread through an event earlier this month, the Gridiron Club dinner, along with Vice President Kamala Harris’ positive test earlier this week, the show is going on, with most events requiring proof of a negative test and vaccination.

Ruth Wilson and Andrew Scott will star in the political drama “Oslo” for HBO that is currently in production in Prague, and the film is based on the award-winning stage play of the same name by Tony winner J.T. Rogers.
Marc Platt, Kristie Macosko Krieger, David Litvak and Steven Spielberg are executive producing the film that HBO hopes to make available on HBO Max and to air on HBO beginning next year.
“Oslo” is about the negotiations that led to the 1993 Oslo Peace Accords, and it stars the “His Dark Materials” star Wilson as a Norwegian foreign minister as well as “Fleabag” star Scott as a Norwegian sociologist and Wilson’s husband. The story looks at the secret back-channel talks, unlikely friendships and quiet heroics of a small but committed group of Israelis, Palestinians and one Norwegian couple that led to the landmark peace treaty.

Longtime HBO Films president Len Amato is the latest WarnerMedia executive to depart amid a larger corporate restructuring.
Amato added miniseries and Cinemax oversight last April. All drama programming will now be consolidated under executive vice president Francesca Orsi. Senior vice president Tara Grace will now report to Orsi and will also continue overseeing original HBO films and film acquisitions.
Amato had been with HBO for the last 13 years.

An individual familiar with Amato’s decision told TheWrap his departure is not related to the recent layoffs at WarnerMedia. Earlier this year, WarnerMedia executives said that Cinemax would wind down its original programming and focus on acquired films.

Len Amato, President of HBO Films, Miniseries and Cinemax, is leaving the premium cable network after thirteen years.
His exit comes amid a wave of layoffs across HBO parent WarnerMedia, which has impacted a number of veteran, high-level executives. It also continues a consolidation on the longform side at HBO over the past 18 months as that part of the TV business has been evolving.
Longtime HBO Films President Amato added miniseries and Cinemax oversight in April 2019 when 25-year HBO veteran Kary Antholis stepped down as President, HBO Miniseries and Cinemax Programming.
At the time, Cinemax already had started to wind down original programming, a process that is now in its final stages. On the film side, HBO has been moving away from original productions, like the Emmy-winning Recount and The Normal Heart toward acquisitions, like this year’s Emmy hopeful Bad Education.
Additionally, with lines between ongoing drama series and limited series increasingly blurring,...

After 13 years at the premium cabler, president of HBO Films, Miniseries and Cinemax Len Amato is departing. The move comes as Cinemax continues to phase out original programming and HBO focuses on acquired film content.
All drama programming is being consolidated under HBO exec VP of programming Francesca Orsi. According to a source familiar with the situation, the move is not related to the greater restructuring — and layoffs — happening at parent company WarnerMedia, but a function of changes to HBO’s business operations.
“Len’s dedication and passion for the craft have attracted some of the biggest names in creative talent,” said HBO programming president Casey Bloys. “His contributions over the years have played a critical role in some of our finest programming. We truly wish him the best as he starts this next chapter.”
