THE EMMYS: AN AWARD 
MARATHON
The Primetime Emmy Awards 
ceremony, held on Sept. 22, 
will feature a record number 
of categories (27). 
Even 27 awards aren’
t 
enough to include 
categories that, in 
years past, would be 
“ready for primetime.” 
Here are the Jewish, 
or Jewish-themed, 
“Creative Emmy” 
award nominees 
in what I consider 
important areas. 
The Creative Emmys 
are presented on 
Sept. 14 and 15 and 
an edited version 
of the “Creatives” 
ceremonies will 
air at 8 p.m. on 
Sept. 21 (FXX). The 
primetime Emmy 
Jewish nominees will 
be covered in a story 
Sept. 19.

BRIEFLY NOTED
Seth Rogen and his 
wife, actress/writer 
Lauren Miller Rogen, 
both 37, recently 
appeared on a local 
Los Angeles TV show 
to promote “Hilarity for 
Charity,” a charity they 
founded that raises 
money for Alzheimer’
s research 
(Lauren’
s mother was a victim 
of early-onset Alzheimer’
s). The 
host, who is Jewish, knew the 
Rogens are avid potters, and he 
presented them with a ceramic 
menorah to paint, which they 
did as they were interviewed. 
The couple told the host they 
had a ceramic kiln at home, 
which they named “Brad Pitt.” 
Why? “Because it is so hot,” 
Seth explained.
