HBO’s anthology series “True Detective” is back after five years with a new season that will compete at the 2024 Emmy Awards. This latest installment that premiered in January comes with the subtitle “True Detective: Night Country” and, while still part of the franchise, it’s the first to not have the involvement of creator Nic Pizzolato – other than his executive producer credit. It was instead developed by Issa Lopez who wrote (or co-wrote) and directed all six episodes, and stars Jodie Foster and Kali Reis as detectives in an Alaskan town investigating the disappearance of eight scientists. Let’s re-examine the three previous seasons of “True Detective” at the Emmys – which garnered a combined total of 22 nominations and five wins – to determine possible nominations in categories for the current season.
Here is the complete Emmys history for the first three seasons of “True Detective”:

There is a common thread between the television series True Detective, The Man in the High Castle, Westworld, Nine Perfect Strangers, and The Crown: the contribution of Aussies Raoul Marks and Patrick Clair.
The directors of production studio Antibody have been responsible for crafting main title sequences across streaming and network platforms in the eight years they have been working together, with Clair assuming the role of creative director and Marks acting as the art director and lead compositor.
It’s a creative partnership that has spawned more than 20 Outstanding Main Title Design Emmy nominations between them, as well as wins in 2014 and 2016 for True Detective and The Man in the High Castle, respectively.
They are again listed in the category this year for their work on HBO’s supernatural horror drama Lovecraft Country, in which they collaborated with renowned Melbourne illustrator Ken Taylor.

While there has been a trend of shortening opening title sequences on television or even doing away with them altogether, this year’s Emmy nominees for Best Main Title Design prove there are still shows that value the power of a good intro. The 2019 Emmy nominees for Best Main Title Design are: “Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes” (Netflix), “Game of Thrones” (HBO), “Star Trek: Discovery” (CBS All Access), “True Detective” (HBO) and “Warrior” (Cinemax).
All five of these main titles share similarities in emphasizing symbolism and iconography present throughout their respective shows. Two of the nominated creative directors have previously won Emmys for previous seasons of their respective series, Angus Wall for “Game of Thrones” and Patrick Clair and Raoul Marks for “True Detective,” both for the first seasons. So what will win the Emmy for Best Main Title Design this year? Let’s take a closer...

While we all wait for the new episode of Game of Thrones to air tonight, here’s a pretty cool fan-made opening title sequence that was created in the style of the Westworld title sequence.
The video is called WesterosWorld and it was created by Gilles Kontrol, who offered the following note with the video:
An homage to the two iconic drama series Game of Thrones and Westworld and to title designers Patrick Clair and Raoul Marks.
The project came to fruition over the course of 8 months of on and off work on it in my spare time.
The idea was sparked by the beautiful mashup by composer Brandon Chapman of the themes of the Game of Thrones and Westworld series.
WesterosWorld was also a way to push myself to try and achieve the level of quality of the original title sequence.

The “Game of Thrones” title sequence is a sacred thing of beauty, as is the “Westworld” intro. So what, if anything, could make these two HBO series’ intros better? Oh, maybe just combining them — which is exactly what a Berlin-based artist has done.
Gilles Augustijnen says he spent eight months of his spare time creating, “Westeros World,” a fake title sequence which pulls from aspects of the openers of both David Benioff and D.B. Weiss’ fantasy epic and Jonathan Nolan and Lisa Joy’s sci-fi series.
In the 1-minute, 30-second clip above, whatever you could dream of in the Seven Kingdoms has been “Westworld”-ified, including dragons (and dragon eggs), house sigils, crowns and swords. The Night King himself even shows up as a Host-in-the-making before the “Westeros World” title card flash across the screen.

From the galloping horse to the dancing robotic tools to the passionate embrace of two unfinished lovers, the “Westworld” main title design is a work of beauty. It captures the essence of HBO’s amusement park run amok, re-imagined from the late Michael Crichton. Created by design studio, Elastic, these spectacular titles even surpass last year’s Emmy-winning “The Man in the High Castle.”
The challenge, of course, was doing justice to the sweeping aesthetics and moral tone of the Jonathan Nolan-directed sci-fi/western mashup. “As I learnt more and more about the way the show had been put together, I could see that the bar was going to be high,” said Patrick Clair, Elastic’s creative director. “I loved the design sensibility of the world they were building, and how smart the underlying concepts were.”
