Sydney-based production company Beyond Productions have secured an Emmy nomination for program MythBusters in the Outstanding Reality Program category.
The nomination is the company’s third in as many years for the category. Last year it was beaten by Jamie’s Food Revolution and before that Intervention, a show about interventions.
“It’s a slightly funny category to be in there with Antiques Road Show, and Kathy Griffin: My Life on the D-List and Deadliest Catch.” John Luscombe, General Manager and Senior Vice President of Beyond Productions told Encore. “It’s a very diverse program slate, as oppose to best drama where it’s a bit more obvious what you’re up against.”
So, third time’s a charm? “You’d hope so but because it’s a broad category it’s hard to pick where people will vote. You’ve got Deadliest Catch from Discovery where one of the...

Koch Lorber is half full with 'Glass'
NEW YORK -- Musician Philip Glass' modern classical scores have been featured in many films, but now the artist himself will hit the big screen.
Koch Lorber Films has acquired U.S. theatrical and home video rights to Scott Hicks' documentary Glass: A Portrait of Philip in Twelve Parts. The feature includes interviews with Martin Scorsese, Errol Morris, Chuck Close, and Christopher Hampton in its exploration of Glass' life and work.
Glass was shot in the 18 months leading up to the artist's 70th birthday last year. It premiered at the Toronto International Film Festival in September.
In addition to composing such operas as Einstein on the Beach, Glass earned three Oscar nominations for scores to Notes on a Scandal, The Hours and Scorsese's Kundun.
Though Hicks is best known as the Oscar-nominated director of Shine, he also helmed such TV docus as Submarines: Sharks of Steel and The Great Wall of Iron.
Glass will premiere in April at New York's IFC Center to coincide with a revival of his opera Satyagraha at the Metropolitan Opera House.
