NBC is confirming the new Tina Fey comedy “Mr. Mayor” is debuting enough episodes in January and will be eligible for SAG (not Globes). Stars Ted Danson, Holly Hunter and Bobby Moynihan. Adding it to that event.

HBO has double confirmed for us today that “Let Them All Talk” has been changed over. They told us something different earlier this month, but it now competing in feature film categories and not in TV movie categories.

They told me just last week that it was for TV. Since it had no theatrical distribution plan, it is not eligible for Oscars.

Nope, they told me a TV movie. It didn’t have a theatrical release plan and doesn’t qualify as a feature film.

Any worldwide production can be working with American union contracts. Almost all of them do.

Unorthodox was a small foreign project purchased by Netflix and didn’t work with U.S. contracts. It’s quite possible it will not be eligible for PGA, DGA, WGA or any of the other guilds.

It’s not about being SAG/AFTRA members. It’s about a film or show working under a SAG/AFTRA union contract.

And the decision on Viola Davis has already been made as lead and confirmed by Netflix. She is in the film a little less than I expected but is forceful and is in lead. She’s not going to change.

HBO Max asked for us to put it in the TV categories.
