Brand, Falsey Win Another Emmy Bid

Share

Producers Joshua Brand and John Falsey, whose two network shows collected 30 nominations for Emmy Awards last week, have added another for writing the pilot episode of “I’ll Fly Away.”

When the Academy of Television Arts & Sciences released most of the nominations for the 44th annual nighttime programming awards Thursday, it said that two categories had been delayed because of extended balloting deadlines. Those nominations were delivered this week. They were:

Writing, miniseries or special: Brand and Falsey for “I’ll Fly Away,” NBC; James Duff, “Doing Time on Maple Drive,” Fox; Anna Sandor, “Miss Rose White,” NBC; Neil Simon, “Broadway Bound,” ABC; Robert Bolt, “Without Warning: The James Brady Story,” HBO.

Individual achievement, informational programming: Fax Bahr, Eleanor Coppola, George Hickenlooper, for directing “Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse,” Showtime; Michael Greer, Jay Miracle, for editing “Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse,” Showtime; Fax Bahr, George Hickenlooper, for writing “Hearts of Darkness: A Filmmaker’s Apocalypse,” Showtime; Michael Mierendorf, for writing “Losing It All: The Reality of Alzheimer’s Disease,” HBO; Vic Sarin, Michael Boland, for cinematography on “Millennium: Tribal Wisdom and the Modern World,” PBS.

The additional nomination for “I’ll Fly Away” means that the first-year NBC drama series got a total of 15, second only to the 16 collected by CBS’ “Northern Exposure,” which Brand and Falsey also produce. The TV movie “Miss Rose White,” which had been tied for third place with nine nominations, now takes over sole possession with 10. And cable, which had a record 44 nominations in last week’s list, upped that figure to 49.
