      Emmy Advocacy: 14 Performances Voters Shouldn’t Overlook

      It’s time for the TV-industry folks to start deciding who should be nominated for an Emmy. The nominating process began on Monday and runs through June 26, with the nominations to be announced on July 13.

      ‘Girls’: Final-Season Fun and Fury

      If, in the years since Lena Dunham ascended to pop-culture prominence with the debut of HBO’s “Girls” in 2012, you have felt some irritation with her for the apparent self-absorption, even self-obsession, she projects in essays and in squibs on social-media platforms, let me say: My friend, I feel ya. This is also true of what is now an array of men who’ve been treated to what we might call The Hannah Horvath Experience. The new season starts with Hannah having an essay published  — in the New York Times’s “Modern Love” column — that grew out of last season’s triumphant monologue and was delivered at the storytelling showcase Moth (Dunham always gets the little Manhattan striver details right).

Thus, when we sat down with the cast of Rogue One: A Star Wars Story, we made sure to ask what they thought of their toy likenesses. In our exclusive new video (watch it above), Riz Ahmed gives Alan Tudyk a lesson on the proper way to handle action figures when you’re playing “fighty-fight” — the British term for playing with toys, apparently?
