Netflix has a nominee A Great Day in Hollywood that also makes a political and social point.

A Great Day in Hollywood is inspired by “A Great Day in Harlem” - A moment that captured the spirit of New York City, the center of the jazz world, in 1958 at a time that was considered the “golden age of jazz.”

Netflix is bringing that feeling back with a Great Day in Hollywood, representing a moment in time within Hollywood where Black people are getting more opportunities across the industry.

A true coming out celebration.
Now that's a worthwhile way to toot your own horn, Netflix!

"A Great Day in Hollywood" [is the third most viewed] with 561,033 views [on YouTube].

If [The Emmys] were the People's Choice Awards, I think it would be between "Don't Mess with Mother" and "Dream Crazy" with the latter favored on emotional appeal. However, this is an awards voted on by entertainment professionals, who like flattering or at least interesting portrayals of show business, so I think "A Great Day in Hollywood" has nearly as good a chance of winning as the Nike commercial.

Excerpted and modified from 'Point of View: Sandy Hook Promise' among Emmy nominees for Outstanding Commercial.
