    SAG-AFTRA just signed a deal to make licensing AI voice acting performances easier.

    Last year SAG-AFTRA signed a landmark new contract with the AMPTP that included protections around AI-generated performances.

    Now it’s signed a contract with an AI voice acting company called Replica Studios that it hopes will make licensing AI performances of actors easier — particularly for video games.

    Peacock can thank Judith Light for its first Prime Time Emmy.

    The actress won the award for Outstanding Guest Actress In A Comedy Series for her role as a hippie in a nursing home in Poker Face.

    The rest of the Emmys will air on January 15, and I expect Peacock’s first Emmy won’t be its last.

    One of 90s TV’s biggest critical darlings is finally streaming.

    Northern Exposure was one of the buzziest shows of the early 90s, and scored nearly 40 Emmy nominations to boot. While I personally spent an entire season confusing it with Twin Peaks (they were both about guys going to small towns surrounded by big trees!), most people just enjoyed it for the charming “big city guy moves to adorable rural town” yarn it was.

    The show has been stuck in a streaming limbo for years, limiting access for people hoping to revisit it or get a good dose of 90s nostalgia and history. But TVLine noticed that now all six seasons appear to be streaming on Amazon Prime. If you start watching it now you might be able to finish before Amazon Prime starts running ads at the end of the month.
