How this season is filed

Filed by Max Sterling · Streaming Confidential

Hollywood as nightly news, invented before social media could do the job for free. Mary Hart's durability, red-carpet stand-ups, and the grammar of the entertainment newsmagazine — tease, clip, smile, next — still run every awards-season broadcast. Appointment gossip infrastructure: the industry talking about itself, on purpose, every weeknight.
