The Hollywood Reporter's Off Script roundtable series won its first Daytime Emmy Award Friday night in the arts and popular culture category. The award marks the series' third consecutive nomination in that category.
Off Script beat nominees including Beyond the Gates: Welcome to the Neighborhood: An Entertainment Tonight Special, Variety & CNN Actors on Actors, Variety Studio: Actors on Actors, and Working in the Theatre. The series has received six Daytime Emmy nominations total since 2017.
Off Script airs on IFC and streams on AMC+. Each season consists of five episodes covering Emmy contenders in five categories: drama actress, drama actor, comedy actress, comedy actor, and stand-up. During Oscar season, the roundtable expands to cover director, actor, actress, songwriter, and producer.
Elisabeth D. Rabishaw accepted the award for THR. Rabishaw thanked the National Academy of Television Arts and Sciences and singled out former AMC Networks executive Blake Callaway, who greenlit the series.
The series is moderated by THR's Lacey Rose and Mikey O'Connell. Recent talent included Seth Rogen, Parker Posey, Helen Mirren, Keri Russell, Kristen Bell, Michelle Williams, Ted Danson, Walton Goggins, Jamie Foxx, Adam Scott, Seth Meyers, Niecy Nash-Betts, and Diego Luna.
THR has also expanded Off Script to include podcasters and Broadway actors. The publication received 96 nominations at the National Arts & Entertainment Journalism Awards earlier this week, more than any other outlet.
