X-Men 97 Nominated at the Gotham TV Awards, Predicted to Win Emmys - Main Image
The dust has barely settled since the season finale of X-Men ‘97 dropped, yet the accolades have already started to pour in.
The highly-acclaimed animated series is nominated in the Breakthrough Drama Series category at the 2024 Gotham TV Awards, with credit to Beau DeMayo as creator and Victoria Alonso, Louis D’Esposito, Kevin Feige, Brad Winderbaum, and DeMayo as executive producers.
It is up against some serious competition in the category, versus Black Cake, Fallout, Mr. and Mrs. Smith, and The Curse; however, it is worth noting that X-Men ‘97 is the only animated show to get a nomination in this year’s awards.
Nominees for the annual Gotham Awards are selected by a panel of film and television critics, journalists, and festival programmers, with the award ceremony to be held on June 4, 2024.

Undeniably, Kelly Clarkson was having a rough night. While she was performing on May 10, she was a bit out of sorts.
Kelly Clarkson Starts The Night Off In A Weird Mood
When she first came on stage at the Hard Rock Hotel & Casino in Atlantic City, New Jersey, on May 10 and 11, she was feeling a little off. After entering the platform, Kelly Clarkson admits she was in a weird mood. She says, “I’m in a weird mood. I don’t know why. You should’ve seen me backstage. I was dancing like Kristen Wiig in [Saturday Night Live],” referring to her creative movements. But even with the unusual intro, she said she was eager to start and be performing. Admittedly, she only gets to do short songs as part of Kellyoke on The Kelly Clarkson Show.
Kelly Clarkson is no stranger to performing Kellyoke on The Kelly Clarkson Show.

A large portion of the Fallout franchise’s appeal is its unique blend of serious topics, such as war, power, and responsibility, and utterly bizarre elements like Elvis Presley impersonators being a genuine faction and neo-cultists worshiping nuclear bombs. This inherent silliness in the otherwise utterly cursed world made Fallout into what it is today, and it’s infectious — as shown by fans’ most recent real-life shenanigans.
Fallout Fans Invest In the Goofiest Idea
Following the resurgence in Fallout’s popularity following the overwhelming success of Prime Video’s recent TV show, Fallout fans decided it was time to make a statement in the real world, too. The method they chose is ridiculous in every way: they decided to hijack the notorious Las Vegas Sphere to display an image.

Back in March, it was announced that Eternal Beauty director Craig Roberts was set to take the helm of a horror comedy called The Scurry, working from a screenplay by The Mash Report’s Tim Telling, with House of the Dragon co-stars Olivia Cooke and Rhys Ifans on board to star alongside Paapa Essiedu (The Lazarus Project), Mia McKenna-Bruce (How to Have Sex), and Antonia Thomas (The Good Doctor). The Scurry is now filming in the UK – but Screen Daily reports that Cooke had to drop out due to scheduling issues and has been replaced by Fallout star Ella Purnell.
McKenna-Bruce also ran into scheduling issues on the way to production and had to leave the project.

The site notes, “Ella Purnell will play the leading role of a park attendant who must use her unique skills and strength to survive a band of killer squirrels.”
“The film follows two pest controllers called to a country park café to investigate a routine vermin problem, only for an avalanche of deranged squirrels to descend at nightfall, wreaking mayhem on the staff and visitors in the park.”

Bella Ramsey did an exceptional job with their work in the first season of the live-action adaptation of The Last of Us on HBO. However, the performer was greeted with a mixed reception due to their appearance. The community is more concerned about their looks than their talent.
First impressions last and Ramsey was not the first pick by the gaming community, nor the second to portray Ellie Williams. Early set photos of the second season have made their way online and Ramsey is under fire yet again for the same reason they were attacked for the first season.

Fallout is in its Renaissance era at the moment. Propelled back into the limelight with a massively successful TV show, Bethesda is doing everything it can to welcome players both new and old to the wasteland, especially to Fallout 4.
Despite the consistent updates these games are now receiving, in typical Bethesda fashion, they remain riddled with problems and bugs. Fallout 4 in particular, as many players pointed out, continues to have 1 easily fixable major bug that the developer has ignored since the game’s release.

Among the main reasons for Fallout’s popularity as a franchise is its unique blend of drama and tragedy and utterly bizarre comedy bits. Only Fallout can tell you a serious story about the war and throw Ancient Rome and Elvis Presley cosplayers as dominant factions while peppering it with some alien and zombie hillbilly action.
The Fallout games can provide an infinite source of inspiration for Jonathan Nolan and his team, especially when it comes to all things ridiculous — but in our book, there’s one iconic character that simply must make an appearance in the TV show.

It’s been over a month since Prime Video launched the first season of the Fallout series, but the streaming giant is now looking to expand into the realm of gaming even further. Not only has Amazon given the go-ahead for Season 2 of the hit TV show, but it has also announced that another franchise will be getting its own adaptation.
Sure, Tomb Raider has had a few live-action adaptations in the past in the world of cinema, but with a talented name like Phoebe Waller-Bridge attached to the upcoming series, it could prove to be another successful attempt by the streaming service.

April was a pretty steady month for TV viewership — and Disney was leading the charge.
Along with its monthly The Gauge report, Nielsen debuted a Media Distribution report on Tuesday that assesses cross-platform TV consumption by media company. The Walt Disney Company took the top spot, accounting for 11.5% of total TV viewing. About 42% of that share was attributable to Disney+ and Hulu, Nielsen reported.
YouTube came in second place with a 9.6% share of TV in April. It’s worth nothing that, naturally, all of YouTube’s viewing comes from streaming. The platform is consistently the highest ranked in terms of streaming share each month, and April was no different. It came in far above Netflix’s 7.6% share, which put that streamer in second place for streaming.

Amazon Prime Video made its first upfront presentation to advertisers on Tuesday in New York, with the streamer bringing out some of its biggest stars to break some news while touting its original series, film and sports offerings.
Amazon took over Pier 36 in Manhattan, which included a large installation dedicated to Amazon shows like “Fallout” and “The Summer I Turned Pretty” as well as movies like “Road House” and their various sports offerings like “Thursday Night Football.”
Amazon’s first major upfront started half an hour late — the long line to get in was referenced several times by Amazon MGM Studios head Jen Salke and even “You’re Cordially Invited” stars Reese Witherspoon and Will Ferrell. But once inside, advertisers were presented a star-studded litany of projects and news designed to make a huge splash in the marketplace.

The streamer is already making news with a series order for a Nic Cage-from Spider-Man noir live-action drama, a Jeopardy! spinoff and a slew of sports docs including a third season of Coach Prime.
There have also been renewals for The Boys and Mr. & Mrs. Smith.
This comes after Tom Brady was in the huddle for yesterday’s Fox Upfront and NBCUniversal held their annual ad blowout at Radio City Music Hall.
Held at Pier 36, Amazon kicked off thirty minutes late with thousands of people lining up outside a construction site to get in.

Fallout 4 has a handful of possible endings, but Prime Video’s new TV show makes only one of them possible — and since Todd Howard claimed the show was canon, it effectively means that we know just how the events in the Commonwealth unfolded. If you think it’s all about the Prydwen, though, you’re greatly mistaken: there’s a lot more going on there, and “the Brotherhood won” is not the correct answer.
The Prydwen Suggests the Brotherhood Won
While many articles argued that the Brotherhood of Steel airship in the Fallout TV show wasn’t the Prydwen, that claim has since been debunked. The one-of-a-kind technological wonder officially remains one-of-a-kind, so its arrival to the West Coast suggests that the Brotherhood of Steel certainly didn’t lose the fight with the Institute.
But that leaves us with two potential canon endings.

A worldwide casting search will begin soon for an actress to play Lara Croft in the series from Legendary Television.

Within the past week, Jennifer Jason Leigh (“Fargo”) lost and then regained her first place position on our Best TV Movie/Limited Series Supporting Actress Emmy odds chart. She is being given a run for her money by small screen newcomer Kali Reis (“True Detective: Night Country”), who maintained general frontrunner status from May 9-12 and is still our experts’ pick to win, as has been the case since May 3.
A week ago, Reis was also our editors’ predicted winner, but they have since gravitated back toward Leigh. Based on the forecasts of 2,400+ Gold Derby users, both women currently have 6/1 odds in their race, with their closest competitor being Aja Naomi King (“Lessons in Chemistry”) at 15/2.
The temporary toppling of Leigh occurred three weeks after “Shōgun” overtook “Fargo” in the Best Limited Series race. Since then, the consensus among our readers has been that the latter show’s best shot...

Prime Video’s Fallout Achieves Record-Breaking Viewership In a remarkable demonstration of popularity, Fallout, the series inspired by the beloved video game franchise, has soared to unprecedented heights in viewership. Within just five days from its release, the show accumulated an impressive 2.9 billion minutes of viewing time across U.S. audiences, as per Nielsen’s streaming ratings for April 8-14, 2024. The figures not only establish Fallout as the frontrunner on Prime Video but also eclipse previous records held by other series.

Cooper Howard’s backstory is a red line that goes through the entirety of Fallout Season 1, and things we learn about his past explain a lot about him and the world in the present. But they also create what seems like plot holes or, at least, logical inconsistencies, and that’s especially easy to notice with the power armor subplot.
The Ghoul Knew About Power Armors’ Flaws
Over two centuries before the events of Prime Video’s Fallout, Cooper Howard confronted Bud about his former company’s power armors. We learn that Coop was a soldier back in the day, and a catastrophic design flaw in pre-war power armors led many of his fellow troops to die despite seemingly being protected by mech suits.
Fast forward to the Battle of Griffith Observatory. The Ghoul brings up the design flaw and lazily wonders whether it’s still present in post-war...

When prosthetic makeup designer Vincent Van Dyke first met with Robert Downey Jr., the two men somewhat immediately hit it off. And good thing, too, since just a couple of days later, Van Dyke heard from the producers of the HBO limited series “The Sympathizer” with the hope of signing him onto the ambitious project.
“Luckily we had that earlier meeting because we had to hit the ground running,” Van Dyke tells Gold Derby in an exclusive video interview. “It was a quick turnaround to start creating and designing these looks, and get them in front of everyone’s eyes.”

Prime Video’s latest sensation, the Fallout TV show sparked a new interest to the iconic video game franchise in millions of people who haven’t even heard about it previously — and launched quite a few careers sky-high. One of the show’s lead stars, Ella Purnell (Lucy MacLean) found herself under the spotlight thanks to it…
Except that in 2014, the young actress was already working with Angelina Jolie.
Ella Purnell Starred in Maleficent
You read it right: the Fallout lead star did a movie with Angelina Jolie back in the day, and not just any movie. 2014’s Maleficent, one of Jolie’s last movies before she effectively quit acting, saw Ella Purnell play the same character as the former queen of Hollywood — Purnell starred in it as the younger version of Maleficent herself.

“Definitely the most challenging thing I’ve had to do thus far as an actor, a lot of mental gymnastics involved,” Jharrel Jerome admits about the uniqueness of his role in the Boots Riley-created absurdist series I’m A Virgo, on which he plays a previously extremely sheltered 13-foot-tall Oakland teen. “At no point do I look my scene partners in the eye, and as an actor that’s so critical, you know, as connection.”
Jerome, an Emmy winner for When They See Us, was joined by Riley and co-stars Olivia Washington and Walton Goggins, plus costume designer Deirdra E. Govan, for a conversation about their series at Deadline Studio at Prime Experience.

Immediately upon its April 11, 2024 premiere, Prime Video’s Fallout became the New Big Thing on the platform. For over a month, the post-apocalyptic TV show dominated the Prime Video’s charts, but that ended today. A new competitor rose from seemingly out of nowhere, and we bet you’ve never heard about it until now.
Who Dethroned Fallout?
The short answer would be, a complete underdog of a TV show. The longer answer is, Maxton Hall - The World Between Us. It’s a brand new German series with cast and crew so fresh to the rooster their pages on major platforms barely have any information except their names — but their show is already doing spectacularly.
Maxton Hall is a public school with a dark secret, and a new scholarship student accidentally becomes a witness to it. An arrogant and powerful millionaire becomes hellbent on silencing her, but there’s...

Once upon a time, the post-apocalypse genre was almost exclusive to movies, with the occasional exception, such as the 1994 mini-series The Stand. Fortunately, the advent of streaming services and bigger budgets changed the paradigm.
Nowadays, radioactive landscapes, bombed-out buildings, hordes of shambling, reanimated dead bodies in various states of decomposition, and desperate, struggling survivors are commonplace on smaller screens.
Ostensibly, post-apocalypse shows are about survival in a devastated world. Dig a little deeper, however, and there's almost always a tale of morality or lack thereof. Movies struggle with this, often opting for CG effects to dazzle and attract, neglecting the human aspect.
That's what makes TV the perfect conduit for a tale of post-apocalyptic survivalism. While not all of them get it right, like 2020's The Stand, a long, drawn-out affair has the luxury of time and world-building on its side.

It has been a while since Starfield was released back in September 2023, but to this day, players are still loading up their saves and exploring every inch of the galaxy that they can.

Does Walton Goggins smell an Emmy approaching? Probably not, but only because his character in Amazon Prime Video’s hit “Fallout” TV series doesn’t have a nose. But nevertheless, his performance is earning rave reviews and awards voters are known to love a transformation. Goggins spent hours in the makeup chair before almost every shoot to turn into The Ghoul, a lone-wolf wastelander who’s been around for hundreds of years. In an interview with Deadline Studio at Prime Experience, Goggins acknowledged the difficulties of taking on this character physically and emotionally.
“The very first time we did the application [of his mask],” Goggins said, “I asked to be left alone for an hour and a half outside and Jonah [Nolan] came by. I just sat outside by myself and just photographed it like in the sun and in the shade. I was extremely intimidated but excited to see how this Ferrari would work.

Ex-Fallout developer Nate Purkeypile has had an interesting and bountiful journey from his time at Bethesda to his career as an indie developer. Currently immersed in his new project, The Axis Unseen, Purkeypile has had to come up with innovative solutions that are doable within his current workflow, where he’s the sole developer.
One of these creative solutions came up when he realized he needed a reference for a certain model in the game. And who else came to the rescue other than his supportive wife?
Solo Developer Nate Purkeypile Brings a Piece of Him From Fallout
The Axis Unseen‘s developer snuck in a unique Easter egg that Fallout 3 also has.
The Axis Unseen is an ambitious solo project that Purkeypile took up following his departure from Bethesda. From its Steam page:
Hunt nightmarish monsters from ancient folklore in a mysterious open world, collecting their enhanced sense powers and discovering elemental arrows.

Another day, another discussion surrounding Xbox. What started as an odd decision to bring exclusive titles onto its direct competitor’s platform turned into a full-blown Fallout with the shuttering of three prominent game studios and folding one into Zenimax Online.
Right now, no one understands just what the company’s strategy is. One can only surmise, after all, and for now, people are surmising that Xbox may just be banking on Doom and the Scourge of Hell to bring the organization back from the underworld during the Xbox Summer Showcase.

Unexpectedly for fans, Prime Video’s Fallout TV show not only carefully preserved the franchise’s lore and remained true to the original video games but also expanded upon it. Most additions the showrunners made fit perfectly into the existing world of Fallout, and we can’t help but praise them for such attention to detail.
But one decision the Fallout showrunners made proved to be somewhat controversial with the fans. It did save the show from making a difficult choice in Season 1, but next Season, they’ll most likely have to make it, regardless.
Fallout Kept New Vegas’ Open Ending
Seeing how the events of Prime Video’s TV show inevitably lead the main characters into the Mojave Wasteland, the matter of the New Vegas factions was prominent. In the original game, Fallout: New Vegas, the player defines which faction takes control over this iconic city: the Ncr, the Legion,...

10. Ghouls Need a Mysterious Chem to Stay Human
Previously, we thought that any ghoul would one day go feral as their brain rots to a certain degree. But according to the Fallout TV show, a miraculous chem is capable of keeping the brain rot at bay, allowing these poor souls to keep their humanity longer and avoid the grim faint of being turned into glorified attack zombies.
9. Gulpers Used to Be Humans, Not Salamanders
Terrifying Gulpers have the looks of someone’s sick idea of a giant killer axolotl. Before the TV show, we thought they were mutated salamanders, and it was even stated in the games; not, thanks to the Vault 4’s revelations, we know that they had a much darker origin: Gulpers were humans who were turned into these monsters.

Prime Video’s Fallout TV show is the perfect video game adaptation. It treats the source material with utmost respect and carefully expands its mythology; works closely with the original video games’ developers to ensure its quality and lore accuracy; and adds numerous subtle references and Easter eggs for Og fans.
While we’ve already covered some of the most brilliant game mechanics that found their way into Prime Video’s new series, this one is a very special case.
This Unique Mechanic Adds Life to Video Games
Most open-world games, Fallout included, make use of the random encounter mechanic: it means that sometimes, players come across some dynamic situations or interesting characters on their travels that they can interact with. From a small talk with someone you meet on the road to a massive shootout, random encounters add life to video games and make the player feel like the world is truly dynamic.

From last year’s big hit The Last of Us starring Pedro Pascal to the most recent Prime Video’s bombshell Fallout, the video game world is currently taking over the modern cinema with never-ending ideas for sequels and following seasons.
Last year was also marked by Five Nights at Freddy’s, another major release based on a popular game franchise, and the overall success was so grand that a sequel didn’t take too long to be announced.
While there’s still nothing to know for sure about the upcoming second film, the nascent franchise still needs to keep in mind some major aspects of the original game to stay afloat on the same level of thriving in the future.

While she was understandably launched into stardom by her most recent lead performance in Fallout, Prime Video’s new TV show wasn’t Ella Purnell’s first rodeo — far from that. The Lucy MacLean star has had several prominent roles over the past few years which you might have missed, including a lead performance in one of the biggest sci-fi franchises ever. No, not that one.
Ella Purnell Killed It in Star Trek: Prodigy
Star Wars’ biggest competitor, Star Trek has always had a large and devoted fan base that, while not getting as much content as their Sw counterparts, tend to get it better. Star Trek: Prodigy, Paramount Plus’ reasonably fresh animated TV show, featured Ella Purnell as Gwyndala aka Gwyn, one of the series’ lead characters.
Despite it being a voice acting gig by Purnell, Gwyn shares the actress’ facial features, so you’ll definitely recognize her on the screen.

One of the best things Prime Video’s Fallout has going for it in the eyes of Og fans is its immaculate attention to detail. The showrunners carefully implemented countless tiny bits of lore in their scenes and added many nods to the original games; while irrelevant for new viewers, their dedication paid off handsomely with the gaming community’s praises. Even Todd Howard was impressed by the show’s faithfulness!
Fallout Boss Didn’t Anticipate Such Level of Detail
Even the most faithful adaptations tend to stick to what’s visible on the screen. It only makes sense, after all: why bother with something no one in the audience will never get a chance to appreciate? But that wasn’t the approach the Fallout team chose. They went all-in, crafting the bits and pieces that were literally never shown to us.

“The Idea of You” was the most-streamed movie of the May 3-9 viewing window, per Luminate. The movie, starring Anne Hathaway and Nicholas Galitzine, was watched for 714.2 million minutes between May and May 9, its first full week of availability on Amazon Prime Video.
Up from its No. 5 position on last week’s chart, which was recorded after only one day of streaming for the movie, this translates to 6.2 million views when divided by its runtime. By that metric, it actually comes behind the week’s No. 2 movie, Jerry Seinfeld’s “Unfrosted,” which hit 684.4 million minutes watched and 7.4 million views in its first full week on Netflix.
The Netflix documentary “Secrets of the Neanderthals” made third place with 167.9 million minutes watched (2.1 million views) in its first full week. The rest of the movies chart, populated by titles including “Rebel Moon — Part Two: The Scargiver,” “Road House” and “Honeymoonish” all fell below...

Prime Video’s Fallout TV show was extremely divisive up until the day it premiered — because since then, everyone has been absolutely in love with it, including the most staunch critics. Jonathan Nolan and his team did the near-impossible, adapting a video game in a way that left both new fans and Og gamers extremely happy with the end result and instantly craving for more, The Last of Us-style.
But Fallout went further — and started smashing records, too.

Nielsen recently revealed the report for the second week of April aka the week where Fallout premiered. According to the company, Prime Video’s Fallout absolutely dominated the watch time then, raking up an incredible 2.9 Billion views in the first five days after its release and leaving its closest competitor Bluey in the dust with under 1.4B views.

Despite Fallout taking place in the aftermath of a nuclear war, it’s truly not the end of the world for the Prime Video series, which has many miles to go.
Fans of video games are fanatics about how faithfully adapted into movies and series, and according to Fallout executive producer Geneva Robertson-Dworet, speaking recently during an interview with cast and creatives at Deadline Studio at Prime Experience, “there is so much we had to leave behind” in Season 1. “[There’s] potentially thousands of hours of gameplay; we have eight hours to tell our story.”

With a Season 2 order under its belt, as well as becoming the most watched Amazon Prime series launch ever per Nielsen with 2.9 billion minutes viewed, Robertson-Dworet says they’ll now “be able to get to so much more that we love about the Fallout world.”

“Shōgun” may be returning for a second season as star and producer Hiroyuki Sanada has signed a deal with FX to return as Lord Yoshii Toranaga in the Japan-set historical epic, sources tell Variety.
The show was billed as a limited series, but, as Variety reported Thursday, FX is considering moving “Shōgun” into the drama categories in this year’s Emmy race.
FX declined to comment.
Sources indicate that, in the event of a Season 2 renewal, Cosmo Jarvis would likely also return to reprise his role of Pilot-Major John Blackthorne. Of course, there are plenty of other pieces that must fall into place before an official greenlight.
Should “Shōgun” be renewed, FX would majorly shake up the Emmys race, pitting the big-budget series against drama contenders “The Crown,” “The Morning Show” and “Fallout,” as opposed to vying limited series “Baby Reindeer,” “Fellow Travelers,” “Ripley” and “True Detective: Night Country.”

After a couple of months of successfully topping the charts, Helldivers 2 is currently facing the brunt of player outrage over the latest Psn (PlayStation Linking) requirement. And by the looks of it, Xbox and Microsoft are learning from this mistake.
Microsoft is currently looking to release a web-based online store for mobile game consumables to directly rival Apple and Google’s app stores and the subsequent fee structures.
However, the outcome remains bleak, as a majority of players feel that the lack of an application for the same is going to spell doom for the project inadvertently.
Microsoft Gaming Store To Be Accessible Everywhere unlike Helldivers 2 According to Sarah Bond, the new store will be available everywhere.
The new gaming store is supposed to debut with Microsoft’s own games. It will also offer discounts on in-game items associated with some titles. A good example of this is Candy Crush Saga.
