“I’ve been working with Apple for five years and I cannot think of better creative partners, top to bottom,” says “Lessons in Chemistry” showrunner and executive producer Lee Eisenberg. He tells Gold Derby’s Latasha Ford, “The executives there are ambitious and thoughtful. They’ve allowed me to have a tremendous amount of freedom and the collaboration with them has generated these things that I’m incredibly proud of.” Watch the full video interview above.

Eisenberg attended “Lessons in Chemistry’s” FYC event at the Television Academy’s Wolf Theater on June 9 in North Hollywood, California. At a max-capacity screening and panel, the executive producer was joined by stars Brie Larson, Lewis Pullman and Aja Naomi King, as well as director Sarah Adina Smith.

The Emmy Awards are just one "whyyyyy?" after another. Nothing about this award show makes a lick of sense. Why does it take itself so seriously? Why are the categories so random? (As host Andy Samberg said, "Orange Is the New Black is now officially a drama and Louie is officially jazz.") Why didn't Broad City get nominated? Did the voters get their wisdom teeth pulled every day this year? Peg me gently with a chainsaw! In our golden age for award shows, not to mention for TV, why are...

The 67th Primetime Emmy Awards were handed out Sunday in Los Angeles, and HBO came away from this year’s telecast with 43 total wins, buoyed by Game of Thrones (which amassed 12 Emmys), Olive Kitteridge (eight) and Veep (five).

While Stephen Merchant is delighted with the two Emmy nominations for “Hello Ladies: The Movie” (Best TV Movie, Best Movie/Mini Writing), he is disappointed that his pal Ricky Gervais is only nominated for Best Movie/Mini Actor for the “Derek” special. That means that the co-creators of the original version of "The Office" won’t be going head-to-head in any categories. During our recent webcam chat (watch below), Merchant vividly recalls the 2007 BAFTAs: “We were both nominated in the same category and he won. Unexpectedly they asked me to collect it on the night. Suddenly I’ve got to go up there and make an impromptu speech on his behalf for an award I was nominated for." -Break- Click here to see the updated list of all 2015 Emmy episode submissions To make this telefilm that concludes the story that he began in his HBO series last year, Merchant drew on his “expe.

Grace Of Monaco, which opened Cannes last year, will vie for the Emmy with Agatha Christie’s Poirot: Curtain, Poirot’s Last Case, Bessie, Hello Ladies: The Movie, Killing Jesus and Nightingale.

Critics branded the Grace Kelly biopic a flop when it debuted on the Croisette in May 2014. By that time Us distributor The Weinstein Company had postponed the release twice – no doubt aware the film had a shot at Cannes – and were mired in an ongoing spat with director Olivier Dahan.

Back in October 2013 the Frenchman had railed publicly to national newspaper Liberation about his displeasure over the fact that there were two versions of the film – his cut and the Weinsteins’ cut. Lotus Entertainment handled international sales.

Earlier this year it emerged that Grace Of Monaco would not get a Us theatrical...

Nominations for the 67th Primetime Emmy Awards were announced on Thursday by Uzo Aduba (Orange Is the New Black) and Cat Deeley (So You Think You Can Dance), and HBO led the pack with 126 total nods. ABC (with 42 contenders), NBC and CBS (41 each) and FX (38) rounded out the Top 5.

Give the Emmys credit for at least trying to keep up with the current explosion of quality television.

This year, the Academy of Television Arts and Sciences expanded the Best Comedy and Drama Series categories to seven slots each, and they made other minor changes (online voting!) meant to bring the awards into the 21st century. Still, there's more good TV now than even the Academy can keep up with, so the outrage and shock over the snubs and surprises in this morning's Emmy nominations is inevitable. Here are some of the most astonishing omissions and inclusions.

Best Drama Series

The biggest shocker here is the snub of "Empire," the season's breakout hit. Was it too soapy or guilty-pleasure-ish for the Academy to take seriously? Fellow newbie/Twitter sensation "How to Get Away With Murder" was also snubbed. Golden Globe fave "The Affair" got no love, here or in other major categories.

This year's Emmy Award nominations have been announced and "Game of Thrones" topped the list with a whopping 24 nominations, followed by "American Horror Story: Freak Show" with 19 noms and "Olive Kitteridge" with 13.

HBO was by far the network to be with 124 nominations in total across the prime time and technical categories. They were followed by ABC (42), CBS & NBC (41), FX (38), Fox (35), Netflix (34), PBS (29), Comedy Central (25) and AMC (24).

With a new online voting system, the list of nominees are a bit fresher than usual with a lot of first-time nominees in acting categories, and some notable absentees like network comedy stalwarts "The Big Bang Theory" and Melissa McCarthy in favour of fresher faces such as "Unbreakable Kimmy Schmidt". There was some excellent and overdue casting nominations such as Tatiana Maslany for "Orphan Black" and Taraji P. Henson for "Empire," along with the new 'Limited Series' element and more suitable classifications for some...

And they're off! Nominations for the 67th annual Primetime Emmy Awards were just announced on Thursday, July 16. "Orange Is the New Black" star Uzo Aduba and "So You Think You Can Dance" host Cat Deeley revealed the major nominees, but there are actually a lot more (like for costume design, sound editing, cinematography, etc.) and you can head to the Nominees and Winners page of Emmys.com to check out the very long roundup of nominees.

Stuart, the single Brit looking for love in Los Angeles—or, more accurately, a makeout session with a model— returns to HBO Saturday night with the premiere of Hello Ladies: The Movie.

The first trailer for Hello Ladies: The Movie has arrived from HBO. It seems the cable network decided that, instead of a second season of the show, the would wrap up the storyline into a movie.

Hello Ladies: The Movie, Wrapping Up The Comedy Series From Stephen Merchant, Debuts Nov. 22, Exclusively On HBO

When Stuart learns that his British ex-girlfriend is planning to visit Los Angeles with her husband, he sets out to impress them with his glamorous lifestyle, enlisting a Russian model he’s just met to play the role of his beautiful girlfriend. What could go wrong?

Starring Stephen Merchant (co-creator of the Golden Globe-winning BBC comedy series “The Office” and HBO’s “Extras”) as Stuart, Hello Ladies: The Movie wraps up his story when it debuts Saturday, Nov. 22 (10:00-11:20 p.m. Et/Pt), exclusively on HBO.

Anyone watching the ratings for their favorite new shows will remember that HBO’s Hello Ladies from Stephen Merchant wasn’t doing so well. While I enjoyed the first season, I had already come to terms with the idea of never seeing it return. Thankfully, all good things deserve a final chapter, and that’s what the show is going to get.

The eight-episode season of “Hello Ladies,” which debuted on HBO in Sept. 2013, tells the story of Stuart, a gawky 6’7” English transplant seeking excitement and romance in Los Angeles. Searching for the woman of his dreams amidst the city’s dazzling nightlife, Stuart’s romantic aspirations far outstretch his looks or appeal. Half as charming – and twice as desperate – as he thinks he is, he’s obsessed with infiltrating the glamorous world of beautiful people, who won’t let him in.

Huh. When HBO didn't renew Stephen Merchant's "Hello Ladies" for a second season, we weren't that surprised.

HBO has announced that "Hello Ladies: The Movie" will air on the network on November 22nd at 10 Pm. And once again, it will find Stuart's lack of self-esteem and desire to impress sending him down another misguided path, this time when an ex-girlfriend comes to visit.
