☆ Dragons, Jedi and zombies find a seat at the Emmy table
  + stars: | 2023-07-12 | by ( Brian Lowry | ) edition.cnn.com   time to read: +4 min
CNN —Dragons and zombies and Jedi, oh my. HBO’s gaudy show of force – with half the best-drama nominees and 127 bids overall, the highest total of any individual network or service – featured a combination of both. "Obi-Wan Kenobi," starring Ewan McGregor, was one of three "Star Wars" series to receive multiple Emmy nominations. Fabio Lovino/HBOWhen those nominees need to begin rehearsing their acceptance speeches is itself a source of mystery as of now. The last time a delay of the Emmys happened: 2001, after the September 11 terror attacks.

☆ Amazon’s Freevee Embraces the Judy-Verse
  + stars: | 2023-06-16 | by ( Brooks Barnes | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: +1 min
In 2021, Judge Judith Sheindlin, the razor-tongued court show star, decamped from the dying medium of daytime broadcast syndication and joined Amazon for a streaming-era experiment. Fewer people were watching traditional daytime television, including programs like “Judge Judy.” Was it because they were tired of the content? To find out, the company hired Judge Sheindlin to produce and star in a new court show, “Judy Justice,” and made it available on Freevee, a little-known, free streaming service supported by advertising. “It was a risk,” Judge Sheindlin recalled over lunch this month, “but one that intrigued me.”“Judy Justice” quickly became Freevee’s No. As she builds a mini empire at Amazon, Judge Sheindlin is also adding to what has become known as the Nepo-Verse.

☆ Stream These Five Cormac McCarthy Film Adaptations
  + stars: | 2023-06-13 | by ( Chris Vognar | ) www.nytimes.com   time to read: 1 min
The Coen brothers return to the Texas noir roots of their first feature, “Blood Simple,” for the most successful McCarthy adaptation to date. It won Oscars for best picture, directing and screenwriting, as well as Javier Bardem’s supporting turn as one of McCarthy’s nihilistic villains, an implacable killing machine who speaks in riddles and engages his prey in fatal rhetorical jousts. But the heart of the movie, about a briefcase full of money and the in-over-his-head opportunist (Josh Brolin) who pilfers it, is Tommy Lee Jones as a small-town sheriff who wants out of the game, which seems to get more sinister and incomprehensible by the minute. He is the old man of the title and the author’s surrogate, a poetic soul just trying to wait it out until it’s all over. ‘The Road’ (2009)Stream it on Tubi, Vudu and Freevee.

“Usually when you say ‘They took a chance on us,’ it means they took a chance because the show could have been bad,” Schulman said. “I got the feeling that this could be really special,” she said. While Marsden was initially intrigued by the idea, he said in a phone interview that his doubts set in once the production began. “It was on a brand-new streaming platform that no one had ever heard of, so I didn’t really think it was going to go anywhere,” Gladden said over the phone from Los Angeles. “I truthfully didn’t think anything was going to come from it.”

☆ Amazon Ad Tier for Prime Video Could Mean Higher Prices: Report
  + stars: | 2023-06-07 | by ( Nathan Mcalone | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Amazon is planning to launch an ad tier for Prime Video, The Wall Street Journal reported. "In recent years, Prime Video has gotten more aggressive about running promos prior to its shows and including ad-filled sports broadcasts," Insider Intelligence principal analyst Ross Benes said. "Given these developments, putting midroll and pre-roll in Prime Video programs isn't that big of a step." Right now, Prime Video is available on its own for $8.99 per month, but most people get it bundled with Amazon's Prime membership, which runs $14.99 per month (or $139 per year). "Amazon is discussing a variety of ways it could introduce ads in Prime Video, people familiar with the matter said," Toonkel wrote.

☆ Amazon 'Thursday Night Football' audiences fell short of estimates by 25%, and the tech giant is scrambling to make it up to advertisers
  + stars: | 2023-01-10 | by ( Lucia Moses | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +3 min
Amazon is working to make advertisers whole after "Thursday Night Football" audiences fell short. Amazon has been scrambling to make advertisers whole for its "Thursday Night Football" broadcasts on Prime Video after audiences fell short of estimates, according to ad agency sources. For the 14-game season, "TNF" on Prime Video averaged 9.6 million viewers, according to Nielsen data shared by Amazon Monday. "TNF" viewership on Prime Video had a median age of 47, according to Amazon — 7 years younger than the NFL average on linear TV. But advertisers are likely to give Amazon a pass overall, given this was the first season for a streaming-only "TNF."
☆ Amazon bulked up its advertising behemoth in 2022 — and its becoming an even bigger threat to Meta
  + stars: | 2022-12-27 | by ( Lauren Johnson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +10 min
Amazon's digital ad business is only behind Google's and Meta's — and it's already stolen budget from Meta. Today, that advertising business is no longer simply a way to drive product sales on Amazon. Amazon's ad business, which generated $9.5 billion during the third quarter of 2022, dwarfed Microsoft and Snap and ranked third behind Google and Facebook parent, Meta. There are now nearly 600 advertising partners in Amazon's advertising ecosystem, according to Amazon's directory of companies in the space. As part of its ambitions to grow advertising, Amazon also pitches a data clean room called Amazon Marketing Cloud.

☆ 3 ways that Amazon's advertising business is becoming as dominant as Google's
  + stars: | 2022-10-31 | by ( Lauren Johnson | ) www.businessinsider.com   time to read: +4 min
Amazon's advertising ambitions used to be focused on search ads to promote products available through Amazon's marketplace. But today, Amazon's ad business is the third biggest seller of digital advertising, behind Google and Meta, and that business drove $31 billion in revenue in 2021. Amazon Advertising is further extending its influence beyond its platform and across the entire internet, much like Google's sprawling advertising business. Amazon is using its giant cloud business AWS to make ads more powerful both on and off Amazon sitesAmazon has traditionally separated its advertising business from other business units like AWS, but those lines are gone. Amazon's adtech products that use AWS' technology exemplify how Amazon's ad business is proliferating across the digital advertising industry, and competing much more directly with Google than in the past.
