'Succession' Showrunner Jesse Armstrong Makes Dig at King ... (Variety)

'Succession' showrunner Jesse Armstrong suggested his Emmy win was more 'legitimate' than King Charles III's accession to the throne.

It’s a team effort starting with the engine room of the writers room, the producers who support us, the directors led by Mark Mylod, the extraordinary cast who we’re surrounded by who are – oh my goodness – and our amazing crew and HBO who protect and support us. New king in the U.K., this for us.” “It’s a wonderful honour, this group is extraordinary.

Royal drama The Crown, which dominated the 2021 awards, was not televised within the eligibility period and so was forced to sit this year out. Hwang also made history as the first Asian to win in his category. Goldstein said of the show backstage: "I know that all of us would happily do this for 20 years. The Canadian consulate had also postponed its Emmy celebrations ahead of the ceremony in respect to the Queen. It hit me far worse than I thought it would and the enormous pressure that our king has on his shoulders now. Former Roseanne star Laurie Metcalf took best guest actress in a comedy show too. Evidently a bit more voting involved in our winning than for Prince Charles."

Succession did this to stress test the business and its capital and the directors confirmed that the company has adequate resources to continues its business for the foreseeable future. “The advice was given by a firm prior to its acquisition by the wider Succession Group who have been working closely with the FCA and independent third party advisers to undertake a review and to compensate clients where necessary.” The group said work on the calculation of compensation has commenced but is in “early stages”. Succession said case reviews, all of which have now been completed, have been undertaken by specialist third party reviewers to determine whether the advice received was in the client’s best interests. The results said: “A provision of £10.4mn is included for potential liabilities in respect of compensation owed to clients who received defined benefit pension transfer advice, which has subsequently been deemed no to be in the client’s best interests. Succession Wealth said it is “working closely” with the regulator in relation to unsuitable defined benefit transfer advice provided by an advice firm prior to its acquisition by the group.

Monday night's Emmy awards was set to be a big night for British talent across the pond. In the acting categories alone, there were 15 Britons nominated.

To present the award for outstanding writing for a comedy series, late night host Jimmy Kimmel was dragged onto the stage by comic actor Will Arnett, pretending to have passed out from drinking too many “skinny margaritas”. His joking about the new monarch won’t be surprising to anyone familiar with his work; Succession is a biting caricature of an uber-wealthy media family, skewering the concept of power: where it lies and who gets to wield it.
