Los Angeles: Oscar-winning actress Julia Roberts is not fretting over being overlooked at the Emmy nominations this year for her role in the series “Homecoming”. Rather, she has laughed it off. “Well, I’m in exceptional company at least,” Roberts wrote on Instagram while sharing a screenshot of a news alert that read: “Biggest Emmy nomination snubs: Julia Roberts, George Clooney and Emma Stone are among the A-listers shut out”, highlighting the fact that she was not the only big star to have missed a nomination this year. It was being expected that the 51-year-old actress will get an Emmy nod for her portrayal of Heidi Bergman, a caseworker who helps US soldiers’ transition back to civilian life, on the Amazon Prime show.

Italian author, creator of ‘Inspector Montalbano’, dies
Rome: Italian author Andrea Camilleri, who earned worldwide acclaim for his series of 30-odd whodunnits starring inspector Salvo Montalbano in the fictitious Sicilian city of Vigata, died Wednesday aged 93, a Rome hospital said. Born in Porto Empedocle, Sicily, Camilleri saw his works turned into a TV series in 1999 that was picked up in Britain, the US and Australia. Camilleri said he owed a “huge debt” to Belgian writer Georges Simenon’s detective Jules Maigret, but Montalbano takes his name from Catalan novelist Manuel Vazquez Montalban, creator of gastronome detective Pepe Carvalho. Also a theatre and television director and scriptwriter, Camilleri published his first Montalbano novel “The Shape of Water” in 1994. AFP
