Bill Hader and Alec Berg talk with Gold Derby senior editor Matt Noble about creating "Barry," which earned 13 Emmy nominations this year. Hader and Berg are nominated together for Best Comedy Writing and as producers for Best Comedy Series, while Hader also earned nominations for Best Comedy Actor and Best Comedy Directing.
Berg says the two creators were meeting at a diner when Hader said, “What if I was a hit man?’ My reaction was ‘I hate that. There are more hit-men on TV than the real world.’ But very quickly we came up with the idea of him wanting to be an actor. A hit man has to be anonymous, live in the shadows and cut off from their emotions. An actor has to live in the light, access their emotions and divulge their inner truth. It started to become really interesting. A guy caught between two worlds. In order to do one thing well; he has to put himself at risk in the other world.”

Deadline Hollywood's Emmy seer Pete Hammond squares off against Gold Derby editor Tom O'Neil to track the Emmy Awards race. Is "Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" star Rachel Brosnahan unbeatable for Best Comedy Actress? Or can Tracee Ellis Ross ("Black-ish") or Allison Janney ("Mom") take her down? Will Donald Glover be automatic winner of Best Actor after his victory last year? And what about those supporting races?
Gold Derby editors Tom O'Neil and Daniel Montgomery duke it out over their predictions for nominees and winners of the 2018 Emmys. Now that "Game of Thrones" is back in the running, will it conquer last year's champ "The Handmaid's Tale"? Will "Atlanta" or "The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel" win Best Comedy Series? What other programs will be nominated?
"The good news for every studio and every network is that 'Veep' is not back," announces Marcus James Dixon at the start of our discussion about Best Comedy Series at the 2018 Emmys. "Veep" is the reigning three-time winner of the top comedy prize, but it's taking the year off so it won't be eligible to four-peat. Marcus is joined by fellow Gold Derby editors Paul Sheehan, Chris Beachum, Daniel Montgomery and Joyce Eng in our latest slugfest video.
