TOY STORY 5 is "physical toys vs digital/tablets"... something that the Chinese animated movie TOY GUARDIANS did in 2017, and even then it didn't feel extremely original.

Such lovely winners, such good shows, such an ineptly done telecast. It might be one of the worst-executed awards shows I’ve covered, and I’ve been covering them for almost 20 years.
8 takeaways from a so-so Emmys night
The Studio, The Pitt and Adolescence took home top prizes on Sunday. And while the wins were deserving, the telecast was meh. Here are a few takeaways from a night that was a real mixed bag.

Mourning the loss of Linda Williams. It’s hard to think of another scholar whose work helped define such a diverse range of subfields. For me, her 1981 essay “Film Body: An Implantation of Perversions” was a beacon showing how fundamental feminist analysis could be for early cinema. RIP
