According to sources close to the production, Glover estimates that the mix of 54 minutes of music and movies, which began at Coachella before hitting Amazon Prime in April, is a film and not a television show.
Favorite television academy Donald Glover will not be a 2019 Emmys competitor, after all.
Glover's acclaimed FX Show Atlanta, for which he won best director for a humorous series and the best actor in a comedy series Emmys in 2017, has not been aired during the past year, but was a parallel project to him , Guava Island, was – especially on Amazon Prime – and was to be one of the main competitors in many categories of Emmy. However, unlike reports previously published by other outlets, The Hollywood Reporter learned that Guava Island will not even submitted for the consideration of the electors.
Sources close to the production tell THR that Glover, 35, believes that Guava Island – a 54-minute mix of music and visuals, first introduced at the Coachella Music Festival on April 11, before the title performance of Glover as alter-ego Childish Gambino on April 12 , and available in streaming on Amazon Prime on April 13 – is a movie, not a television program, and therefore does not want it to be competing with Emmy's television programming.
Previous reports indicated that Guava Island would be listed for Emmy in the best special variety category (prerecorded), which would have opposed the unconventional but acclaimed blend of music from another superstar, Beyonce Knowles& # 39; Homecoming: a film by Beyonce, which was shot at Coachella a year before Glover's performance, and that Netflix is currently broadcasting. Also competing in the category: Netflix & # 39; s Springsteen at Broadway, CBS Karaoke carpool: When Corden met McCartney live from LiverpoolFox & # 39; s Rent: Live (in this category because it was not live) and a host of comedy specials – whose sponsors must now breathe slightly.

The New York Times describes it as a "lighter and brighter expansion … musically and stylistically from" This Is America "". Time says: "Any festival in the world would have coveted Murai's first feature film", but it resulted in Coachella and then to a streaming service before being presented in a movie theater for a week, which would seem like Exclude rewards from the movie. consideration, as well.
