Included among those recognized in the former category this year are a three-time champion, a pair of returning nominees and two newcomers (one of whom is a Grammy-winning former U.S. president).

Anthony Hopkins surprised many people earlier this year when he won the Academy Award for Best Actor for his performance in “The Father” (2020) over the late Chadwick Boseman, whom many thought would win a posthumous Oscar for his turn in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom.” Now the 83-year-old Welshman is potentially in line to pull off another upset at the Emmy Awards.
Hopkins is nominated for Best Narrator after lending his talents to Apple TV+’s comedy “Mythic Quest,” which follows the employees of a video game studio. He’s nominated opposite David Attenborough, who has won three straight Emmys in the category (2018-20) since Best Narrator and Best Character Voice-Over Performance were standardized and separated into two different categories beginning in 2014. Attenborough is actually nominated twice this year: for narrating the BBC America documentary series “A Perfect Planet” as well as Apple’s documentary film “The Year Earth Changed.” Also...

At 95, Sir David Attenborough is nominated this year for an eighth and ninth Emmy for his narration on two BBC nature series, A Perfect Planet and The Year Earth Changed.
Perhaps second only to Queen Elizabeth II for being beloved by the English, Attenborough’s fascination with the natural world started in early childhood, when he collected fossils and living reptiles on the grounds of the University of Leicester, where his father was principal. At age 8, his adoptive sister — one of two German-Jewish refugees his parents had taken in during World War II — gave him a piece of amber ...

Updated with reactions: Ted Lasso scored 20 Emmy nominations on Tuesday, becoming the most-nominated freshman comedy series in TV history.
The Apple TV+ series surpassed the record held by Fox musical-comedy Glee, which claimed 19 nominations back in 2010.
“I mean, just listen to that—just that sentence,” said actor Hannah Waddingham, who plays AFC Richmond club owner Rebecca, in response. “That, in itself, is just incredible, and I’m just so honored to be part of it.
Like Waddingham, Juno Temple earned her first Emmy nomination today, for her portrayal of Keeley Jones, finding the show of support for the series by the TV Academy “overwhelming.”
“I mean, what the f**k? I’m a part of history,” she said, before breaking into laughter. “That’s pretty cool.”

In the narrative world, sequels are all the rage for films and even “limited” series if the first installment is wildly successful, but seldom do you see follow-ups for documentaries. But all six filmmakers at Gold Derby’s Meet the Experts: Documentary panel — Samantha Stark (“The New York Times Presents: Framing Britney Spears”), J. Clay Tweel (“Heaven’s Gate: The Cult of Cults”), Cecilia Peck and Inbal B. Lessner (“Seduced: Inside the Nxivm Cult”), Tom Beard (“The Year Earth Changed”) and Jeff Orlowski (“The Social Dilemma”) — are definitely not opposed to sequels to their films, some of which cover ongoing stories.

While we humans shut down for the majority of 2020 thanks to Covid-19, there was another life form that flourished: the natural world. Apple TV+’s “The Year Earth Changed,” directed by Tom Beard, highlights just how quickly animals adapted during lockdown and how careless human beings can be about our surroundings.
“I think research began in April. People were looking at the stories that were coming in, and discussions started happening between Apple and BBC Studios,” Beard tells Gold Derby at our Meet the Experts: Documentary panel (watch above). “I’m sure lots of people saw different things coming up on social media about nature responding in certain ways. Very quickly we were looking into what’s behind these stories and where’s this going to go to? That all happened within weeks and then very quickly we were filming. … The whole timetable was really compressed.”

When the planet went into lockdown over the Covid-19 pandemic, the animal kingdom took notice. Within little time at all, species adapted to the retreat of humans, exhibiting different behavior and in some cases venturing into territory formerly bustling with people and automobile traffic.
The Apple TV+ documentary The Year Earth Changed, narrated by David Attenborough, examines this remarkable transformation.
“There were some really rapid changes and I think it’s the speed of the bounce back or the speed of the response by wildlife that surprised lots of people, including researchers that have studied animals for all their lives,” director Tom Beard said during Deadline’s Contenders Television: Documentary + Unscripted event. “We kick off the film with…this incredible story of white-crowned sparrows by the Golden Gate Bridge in San Francisco, how they actually manage to take advantage of the quiet to change their song.

To mark Earth Day, Apple TV Plus released “The Year Earth Changed,” a look at how nature and wildlife thrived as the world stayed in lockdown, and the second season of “Tiny World,” an intimate look at the tiny creatures that roam the planet.
The former was shot across seven continents over nine months, capturing everything from whales communicating openly as they breach the surface to sea turtles breeding freely on deserted beaches. The latter explored approximately 2,000 critters, including a shell-snouted lizard, a Harris Hawk and pompilid wasps. Both shows required numerous directors of photography across the world to capture the awe-inspiring moments.
Here, two of them, Russell MacLaughlin (“The Year Earth Changed”) and Alex Jones (“Tiny World”), select their favorite shots from the projects.
