Meryl Streep is lending her voice to the climate change crisis – literally. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Oscar-winning icon narrates “Want to Tell a Great Story,” a new PSA that debuted today from the Sustainable Entertainment Alliance made in partnership with the NRDC’s Rewrite the Future. Sustainable Entertainment Alliance, formerly known as the Sustainable Production Alliance, is an initiative of film, TV and streaming companies committed to a green industry through onscreen and offscreen actions. Members include A24, Amazon Studios, Amblin Partners, Disney, Fox Corporation, NBCUniversal, Netflix, Paramount Global, Sony Pictures Entertainment, Village Roadshow, Warner Bros. Discovery. The alliance is now focused on an expansion by developing resources and opportunities for industry engagement around sustainability onscreen after having created frameworks for sustainable production through its Green Production Guide. “We’re excited to explore how we can meet audience demand for stories that engage with our changing climate and more the industry toward a more sustainable future, both on and off screen,” says Sam Read, Sustainable Entertainment Alliance’s executive director. Adds NRDC’s Rewrite the Future director, Daniel Hinerfeld: “Storytellers are leading the way by creating award-winning film and television content that’s reflecting environmental issues and resonating with audiences. Every story doesn’t need to be about climate change but simply acknowledging that we live in a climate-altered world can make any story more relevant and compelling.”

For the last two months, hundreds of organizations and millions of people – from #WinWithBlackWomen to #CatLadiesForKamala and everyone in between – have united to change our country. On one special night, they’ll all come together with one of our country’s biggest forces for good: Oprah Winfrey. Several A-listers were among the thousands who joined a live-streamed event Thursday, hosted by Oprah Winfrey, that united the many grassroots political groups supporting Kamala Harris’ presidential campaign. At the beginning of the Unite For America call, Winfrey shouted out Meryl Streep, Chris Rock, Ben Stiller, Julia Roberts, Jennifer Lopez, Tracee Ellis Ross and Bryan Cranston for Zooming in. She also highlighted the grassroots groups that have hosted their own Zoom events supporting Harris in recent months, including Win with Black Women, White Dudes for Harris, Win with Black Men, Republicans for Harris, Swifties for Kamala, among others. Elsewhere on the Unite For America call, Streep said she feels “the word of the day has been preventable,” adding that “all of this, the surround of hatred and venom and toxicity and encouraging some segment of Americans to hate other segments of Americans,” is preventable.” “It’s just crazy and nobody wants it,” the actress continued. “We’re done, we’re done with it.” The full show can be watched in the video archive, screencaptures have been added to the photo gallery.

Meryl Streep is in Los Angeles attending the 76th Primetime Emmy Awards as a nominee for “Only Murders in the Building”. The award, one of the few surprises of the evening so far, did not go to predicted winner Hannah Einbinder nor “industry veterans” Streep or Carol Burnett, but to “The Bear”‘s Liza Colón-Zayas. Edit: Lots of additional pictures from the arrivals, the ceremony as well as screencaptures have been added to the archives. Enjoy.

The Primetime Emmy Awards take place this Sunday. Meryl Streep is nominated for “Only Murders in the Building” and will be attending the ceremony alongside her nominated cast colleagues. On Friday, Robin Roberts hosted “The 76th Emmys: A Night of Firsts”, airing Friday, September 13, at 8 p.m. ET/PT on ABC. A special edition of 20/20, ABC News’ primetime special will give viewers insight into the milestone moments, historic nominations, and powerful storytelling that has defined an epic year of firsts for this year’s television season. The special will feature interviews with nominees Hiroyuki Sanada (Shōgun), Lionel Boyce (The Bear), and Lily Gladstone (Under the Bridge), along with television icon Carol Burnett. Chris Connolly will interview hosts Eugene and Dan Levy, as well as Only Murders in the Building stars Steve Martin, Martin Short, Selena Gomez, and Meryl Streep. An excerpt from the programme, in which Burnett reveals she would love to work with Meryl Streep – and gets an immediate compliment back, has been released and can be watched in the video archive.

On Sunday, the New Jersey Hall of Fame team was thrilled and honored that Actress Meryl Streep stopped by to visit the New Jersey Hall of Fame at American Dream last week to film her remarks for the NJHOF’s 16th annual Induction Ceremony, which will be hosted by Danny DeVito and scheduled to broadcast on November 9, 2024, and premiere on social media in January. “Meryl is widely regarded as the greatest actress of her generation (and probably any generation). The wisdom she shared about the importance of tapping into your imagination to live your best life, was priceless. Meryl is very kind and humble, and proud to be a Jersey girl. She will be formally inducted into the New Jersey Hall of Fame in November. Details about our television special that is being filmed on location at our new museum and will be released in the coming weeks,” stated NJHOF President Steve Edwards.

Only Murders in the Building has been renewed for season five as season four is dropping weekly episodes on Hulu every Tuesday, leading up to the finale on Oct. 29. According to The Hollywood Reporter, the Emmy-winning series’ fifth installment will have 10 episodes, as previous seasons have. In addition to Steve Martin‘s Charles Hayden-Savage, Selena Gomez’s Mabel Mora and Martin Short’s Oliver Putnam, the fourth season features the show’s starriest cast yet. Meryl Streep’s Loretta Durkin, who was introduced in season three, returns for the batch of new episodes, as does Jane Lynch’s Sazz Pataki — the season four murder victim. The women are joined by newcomers Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, Eva Longoria, Richard Kind, Melissa McCarthy, Kumail Nanjiani and Molly Shannon. Only Murders in the Building season three received 21 Emmy nominations, the most for the series to date. The show has consistently received positive reviews. Season four follows the trio as they investigate the murder of Charles’ longtime friend and stunt double, Sazz, who was shot in his kitchen at the end of season three. When this season kicked off, however, her body was no longer there and neither was whatever she was writing on the floor in her own blood. A release date hasn’t been announced for season five yet, but if the show remains consistent, it should premiere sometime next summer.

Screencaptures from the first episode of Only Murders in the Building’s season 4 have been added to the photo gallery: After finishing the podcast’s latest season, the trio goes to Charles’ apartment to celebrate, unaware of Sazz’s murder as the body has already disappeared. The next morning, Charles texts Sazz and receives a reply that she had to fly to L.A. to double for Scott Bakula. The trio is approached by Bev Melon of Paramount Pictures with a proposal for a film adaptation of their podcast, and they fly to L.A. to discuss the deal. At a party thrown by the studio, they meet the actors who will play them, namely Eugene Levy, Zach Galifianakis, and Eva Longoria, with the latter advising a relucant Mabel to use the money for her life rights to build something on her own. Many thanks, once again, to M for providing screencaptures, after being generous enough to cover season 3 for us last year.

Ahead of the Season 4 premiere on Tuesday, the stars of Only Murders in the Building were interviewed on Good Morning America to tease the new season and talk about what fans can expect. In addition to the trio- Steve Martin, Martin Short, and Selena Gomez- Meryl Streep was also interviewed from the set of the hit Hulu series. The Hollywood star joined Only Murders last season as the character of Loretta Durkin, a struggling theater actress. “Loretta is who probably I would be if I hadn’t had a series of incredible breaks,” the Academy Award-winner says. “It was special in that way. I kind of came in stripped-down…or Streeped-down,” she added with a laugh. “I just wanted joy. And I got it.” Streep also discussed “Look for the Light,” the song her character sang in Season 3 which was written by Broadway songwriters Benj Pasek, Justin Paul, and Sara Bareilles. “The song that they gave me to sing was like a gift. It was one of the most beautiful things. I still sing it to my grandchildren,” she revealed. Short says the new season has a “spectacular mystery”, with Gomez adding that she believes “it is our best one.” Season 4 premieres on Tuesday, August 27.

On Thursday, Steve Martin, Martin Short, Selena Gomez and Meryl Streep were on hand at the Paramount Lot in Los Angeles to celebrate the fourth season of “Only Murders in the Building”, which will premiere next week. Hopefully, there will be lots of promotion and interviews these coming days to promote the show. For now, pictures from the premiere have been added to the photo gallery.
