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!
Meanwhile, Al on Twitter:
Sorry for screaming at the top of my lungs, but WEIRD: THE AL YANKOVIC STORY JUST GOT EIGHT EMMY NOMINATIONS!!!!
I guess I'll have to check it out! Didn't expect much of it considering it's a 'Roku Original', but clearly I was wrong.
Anyone know if Roku has anything else worth watching?
Well sticking with the theme, they also have UHF and The Weird Al Show in their catalog. Haven't looked into it much further than that though
