For you trekkies…

The 33-inch original model of the U.S.S. Enterprise from the 1960s TV series "Star Trek" resurfaced decades after it disappeared. But then an auction house gave it to the son of Gene Roddenberry and it became mired in controversy.

Last call to secure your Early Bird ticket to our Venice gathering with featured guest Brian Weiner, Synth Studios. Thursday, March 21!

Spring is here! Almost anyway, and I’d love to have you join me and co hosts David Bloom, Amber J. Lawson, Brian C. Janes, Allison Dollar, and all the smart folks at Westside Digital Mix just as the sun arrives at the Vernal Equinox (the celestial event, not a new nightclub,). We’ll be gathering on March 21 at our frequent haunt, Baja Venice on Washington Boulevard, straddling the line between Venice and Marina Del Rey, winter and spring, just a few blocks from Muscle Beach.

Unlike the sculpted weightlifters on Venice Beach, we’ll be flexing our minds and conversational skills alongside some of the brightest folks in entertainment, media, and tech, talking about everything under said sun. We hope you can join us!

Skip ahead to see what's eligible in outstanding drama and comedy. Or, gather 'round for a little history…

The Emmys ceremony was delayed due to the Hollywood strikes — and that means several shows and actors won't be winning awards for their most recent work. Here's a breakdown of what's in the running.
