2022 EMMYS Forecast:
Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Special
Prize prediction commentary:
Director Amy Pohler shows the rise of comedy icon Lucille Ball and her relationship with husband and musician Desi Arnaz that leads them to the groundbreaking television sitcom. With the support of Amazon Prime Video and the discontinuation of the “Being the Ricardos” feature, the TV Academy’s classic Hollywood pocket could go all out for “Lucy and Desi”, a look of love and fame.
“George Carlin’s American Dream,” a two-part documentary about the famous comedian, provides the world with an incredible reminder of the power of laughter and love, told through the passion of directors Jude Apato and Michael Bonfiglio. Dropping to HBO at the end of the qualification period, the bias of innovation can help it snatch a name.
Disney + Grammy and music sensation Olivia Rodrigo has taken to her platform with “Olivia Rodrigo: Driving Home 2 U” as she recounts the memories of writing and recording her first album in Los Angeles. Directed by Stacey Lee, it could serve as a popular choice for the academy, which usually doesn’t go for such docs, but can end up with an amazing entry.
After the attacks on women’s rights in America and the trials of Johnny Depp and Amber Hard, the true story of Evan Rachel Wood and her activism and her resurrection from domestic violence are part of the most “moment”. “Phoenix Rising” is a good place for the nation to support HBO and recognize its position.
Showtimes
A portrait of singer-songwriter Sheryl Crowe’s Showtime, and an enthusiastic, easy part of digesting the legacy she left behind in music. Directed by Amy Scott, with interviews with big names like Brandy Carlyle and Laura Darn, latecomers to the Amy race can hit the right note to voters.
Directed by Michael John Warren, replicating many of the same successful chords that hit last year’s Emmy-winning “Hamilton”, the Tony-winning original Broadway cast reunites for the HBO special. “Spring Awakening: The People You Know.” Along with Jonathan Graf, Leah Mitchell and others, it became a beautiful love letter to Broadway and an influential show that resonated decades later.
When a documentary captures a cultural zeitgeist, an Amy can often knock. This could be the case with the Netflix film “The Tinder Swindler” directed by Felicity Morris. By highlighting people’s vulnerabilities in dating apps and weak laws around certain types of fraud, true-crime pictures can keep their feet running.
Director Sam Jones, who also directed an episode of the second season of “Ted Lasso”, follows skateboarder Tony Hawk, looking at his life, career and passion for his sport through “Tony Hawk: Until Wheels Fall Off”. HBO’s support for this series has put it in a tough position for voter recognition if it can stand out from other competitors.
Oscar and Emmy winner Ron Howard describes Carlotta Andres’ mission to provide healthy food to victims of natural disasters through National Geographic’s “We Feed People.” An eye-opening message for mankind’s love of cuisine, and the need to change the way we communicate to help our fellow men and women, can satisfy the hunger of many TV academy members.
