The idea of statelessness is sadly a timeless one. In the last year alone there have has been Michèle Stephenson’s documentary Stateless (Apátrida) about Dominican-born Haitians, and the Australian refugee drama of the same name (yes, the one with Cate Blanchett as a cult leader). Plus you only need to turn read the news about Palestine or Syria or too many other places on this Earth to see it and it can often feel like there is nothing that can be done. Is it statelessness or hopelessness?
In the commanding Stateless, director and producer Stephenson—whose most noted film to date is 2013’s Emmy-nominated and Sundance-winning American Promise—ventures into the politically fraught island territory of Hispaniola. It is the home of both the Dominican Republic and Haiti, and the Canadian filmmaker of Haitian-Panamanian descent (who resides in the United States) has made a really quite remarkable work that is eye-opening for both its story as well as its rich visuals.

Pose leads the nominations
The Society for LGBTQ+ Entertainment Journalists, previously known as GALECA, has announced their annual TV nominations ahead of Emmy balloting. A handful of us here at TFE are part of that organization so we had a chance to vote on this. The third season of FX's Pose and Disney+ & Marvel Studio's limited series WandaVision lead the nominations though curiously the latter is not up for the main award in its category. I May Destroy You, It's a Sin, and Mare of Easttown also secured plentiful nominations.
Without further ado the nominees...

It’s one of the most enlightening days of Emmy season – all the ballots are now officially available. I’ve spent a good chunk of time perusing all the program and performers submitted, and you should feel free to do the same here. There’s plenty to unpack and so much that I’m sure I’ll realize I missed later on (including how many nominees there will now be per category based on math), but for now, let’s go through some highlights of what’s been confirmed, what’s changed, and what’s worth noting…
Emmys, Justin Hartley, Punditry, TV, streaming
