On today's Episode we speak to Kelly Dalton, Director Talent Relations & Awards at Netflix. Kelly is a powerhouse - driven, competitive, intelligent and compassionate - Kelly has taken a non-traditional path to an AMAZING career. We all can learn a lot from her - whether you're interested in the intricacies of Hollywood, or the intention and mindset behind setting a personal goal - this conversation is worth a listen.

Bio:

Kelly Dalton began her career in entertainment in 2014 at an awards agency called LTLA Communications, a company founded by prominent Awards Strategist Lisa Taback. Kelly worked on many award winning films including Lady Bird, La La Land, and Best Picture winners Spotlight and Moonlight. In 2019 Kelly moved over to Netflix and became the Director of Talent Relations & Awards on the Netflix Awards team. Kelly helped nurture and grow industry relationships with the streamer and helped break down the barriers of entry for a streamer to be considered for Best Picture at the Oscars. Although it wasn’t easy for the industry to adjust to a new way of viewing films, the Academy and guilds slowly began to understand the value and importance of having quality films on a streaming service. At Netflix Kelly has worked on Roma, The Irishman, Marriage Story, The Two Popes, Period End of Sentence, My Octopus Teacher, Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, The Trial of Chicago 7, Mank,  The Power Of The Dog an most recently All Quiet On The Western Front. 

Netflix has been the most nominated studio for the last three years and has had many record breaking nominations that push the boundaries of cinema.
