Something epic just happened.

Sony has picked up “Mommy & Me,” the comedy package featuring Meryl Streep and Tina Fey as a mother-and-daughter duo to be directed by Stanley Tucci.

I already have great expectations for this film.

Storylines are under wraps, although it spotlights the thorny and funny sides of mother-daughter relationships.

Joby Harold wrote the treatment that went with the package and is exec producing with Tucci, Steve Buscemi and Joshua Astrachan. Wren Arthur, Lucy Barzun Donnelly and Tory Tunnell are producing.

Streep and Tucci have worked together on-screen in “Devil Wears Prada” and “Julie & Julia.” It’s unclear at this time if Tucci would appear in the movie or just stick to directing.

Not to be premature here, but does this mean that Tina Fey is working her way toward an Oscar to put on that mantle next to all those “30 Rock” Emmys?


“Glee” has picked up 19 Emmy noms, including Best Comedy Series, Best Actor in a Comedy Series for Matthew Morrison, and Best Actress in a Comedy Series for Lea Michele.

“30 Rock” has won the category the last three years and is nominated again this year. Another big contender in the comedy category is “Modern Family”. We’ll see if “Glee” or “Modern Family” can knock out the reigning champ.


“Saturday Night Live” was nominated for 12 Emmys this season and has now surpassed “ER” as the most nominated show. “SNL” has been nominated for 126 Emmys in its 35 year run.

While the late night talk show battle has cooled, the Emmys have given Conan O’Brien’s “Tonight Show” received a nomination for Best Variety, Music, or Comedy Series. Jay Leno and David Lettermen were left out of the category.

Here’s the full list.


The Save our Seeker campaign continues, there is something that a few of the fans have forgotten. The Legend of the Seeker soundtrack, composed by Joseph LoDuca of Xena and Hercules fame, won an Emmy for Outstanding Music Composition in a Series.

Seeker fans still fight for the future of their hero. You can view clips of the show and limited episodes on Hulu.com. Both seasons are available to watch on Netflix, as well.

The soundtrack is definitely worth a listen.
