'Succession' Showrunner Jesse Armstrong Makes Dig at King ... (Variety)

'Succession' showrunner Jesse Armstrong suggested his Emmy win was more 'legitimate' than King Charles III's accession to the throne.

It’s a team effort starting with the engine room of the writers room, the producers who support us, the directors led by Mark Mylod, the extraordinary cast who we’re surrounded by who are – oh my goodness – and our amazing crew and HBO who protect and support us. New king in the U.K., this for us.” “It’s a wonderful honour, this group is extraordinary.

The fact that it is my first nomination, my first invitation to the awards and guess what? So, all of those people deserve a right to a home and be able to go back home and be welcomed.

Royal drama The Crown, which dominated the 2021 awards, was not televised within the eligibility period and so was forced to sit this year out. Hwang also made history as the first Asian to win in his category. Goldstein said of the show backstage: "I know that all of us would happily do this for 20 years. The Canadian consulate had also postponed its Emmy celebrations ahead of the ceremony in respect to the Queen. It hit me far worse than I thought it would and the enormous pressure that our king has on his shoulders now. Former Roseanne star Laurie Metcalf took best guest actress in a comedy show too. Evidently a bit more voting involved in our winning than for Prince Charles."

Top 5 lines Kieran Culkin nailed as Roman Roy in 'Succession' (PINKVILLA)

Following the massive popularity of the HBO show "Succession," the middle-child of Hollywood's famous Culkin kids and the brother of Macaulay and Rory Culkin, ...

By the above line, Roman suggests to Kendal that first, they (Roman and Shibhoan) will take care of his issues and then the siblings can focus on Roman himself. In a scene in season 3, Roman tells the above line to his older brother Kendal after knowing his past wrongdoings and how they have affected Kendal over time. This line is actually an audacious move by Kieran's character Roman in the show when he actually corrected his father Logan. In the scene, when Logan was planning to acquire more local stations despite running a monopoly on most of America's news outlets, Roman refers to his dad as "Kim Jong Pop", comparing him to North Korea's dictator Kim Jong Un. In the scene, Roman is referring to high-profile business execs, who work with his father Logan and brother Kendal, with the slur word. In this article, we have listed the top 5 lines by one of the most loved characters in Succession, Roman Roy, that Kieran Culkin absolutely nailed.

How Indian Laws On Property Ownership, Succession And ... (Outlook India)

Due to the social stigma attached to Dalits, tribals, widows and even the unmarried, women from these groups largely have no rights to property, ...

“The ultimate goal is to make land and property ownership more accessible to women, and to strengthen the identity of women farmers. Among Dalit families, the question of succession and inheritance rights on private property is almost immaterial, as a majority of Scheduled Castes in rural India continue to be landless, with barely any private property to fight over. Social stigma related to widows and unmarried women also percolates down to the implementation of succession laws. Transferring land rights to women while the male relative is still alive, helps build financial agency and independence among women right from the beginning,” says WGWLO communications officer Megha. If upper-caste women get the raw end of a property deal vis-a-vis their brothers, those from the oppressed castes have no rights to property at all. One of the first problems is the lack of legal and digital literacy regarding succession/inheritance rights and laws. These witnesses, Patel states, are usually susceptible to pressures and bribes from the woman’s male family members or in-laws who might be trying to edge her out of inheritance. Many refuse to wilfully give their details to delay or hinder the succession application,” says Ashwinbhai Gamit, a commmunity-level para-legal worker (PLW) trained by the consortium to help women facing property dispute cases in rural Gujarat. Let us take the case of one state, Gujarat, where, despite the Hindu Succession Act, women in both urban and rural areas find it harder to inherit ancestral land. While Roy was an upper-caste woman born into a wealthy family with a lot of ancestral property (her share amounted to Rs 2 crore, which she later donated to charity), land rights in India mostly affect women from lower social and economic strata. In 1983, a divorced, single mother from a wealthy and influential family in Kerala, sued her brother for a fair share in the ancestral property of her father, a former Imperial Entomologist at the British court, who had died intestate. The Hindu Succession Act 1956 and its 2005 amendment, gave daughters the right to own and inherit ancestral property.

Succession won't get stale like Billions, in Brian Cox's opinion (The A.V. Club)

Somewhat unsurprisingly, the sharp-tongued actor also wishes he was more like Logan Roy.

You never know what you’re going to get with Cox, but it is, admittedly, always entertaining to hear from a guy who has no fucks left to give ( [literally](https://www.avclub.com/brian-cox-succession-tired-of-saying-fuck-off-to-fans-1849035262?_ga=2.46040301.838278623.1662988256-1488648406.1652714420)). To emulate Cox’s unique combination of career success and scorched earth snark, however, would not be unwelcome. That show shares some DNA with Succession in the “wealthy power players” department, but in Cox’s opinion, the Paul Giamatti series is past its prime. He’s a total bastard, but I understand him.

But we weather it because we love him.” Cox added that the profile put the sensitive actor in a vulnerable position. That will not happen with our show.” We predict the next update to this list will be Cox throwing hands with Paul Giamatti. In an interview with [Deadline](https://deadline.com/2022/01/brian-cox-succession-donald-trump-memoir-interview-johnny-depp-jeremy-strong-politics-1234913875/), Cox addressed the highly talked-about [Jeremy Strong profile](https://www.newyorker.com/magazine/2021/12/13/on-succession-jeremy-strong-doesnt-get-the-joke) published in The New Yorker. Doubling down on his Johnny Depp anti status, Cox explained that he was offered the part of the Governor in the first Pirates movie, eventually played by Jonathan Pryce. [GQ](https://www.gq.com/story/brian-cox-memoir-excerpt), Cox explained why he passed on being involved in most of the big fantasy franchises of our era. That was not the correct date, but it led [many fans to speculate](https://i.reddit.com/r/SuccessionTV/comments/pgr3of/premiere_date_for_s3_revealed/) — correctly — that October 12 would be the cast premiere and that, therefore, the new season would premiere on HBO October 17. To which Cox replied with the now-immortal words, “No, no. Cox says he was offered the role of Robert Baratheon on GoT and said no, because the pay was piss poor. Based on this anecdote, part of me wants to give Cox the benefit of the doubt and believe he didn’t even realize any of it had to do with transphobia, trans men, and TERF-dom.

The prospect of this seismic sale provokes existential angst and familial division among the Roys as they anticipate what their lives will look like once the deal is completed. “That’s past its sell-by date.
