From May to June 2018, Showtime released a series of Twin Peaks “For Your Consideration” (FYC) advertisements in hopes of gaining Emmy Award nominations for the limited series. The FYC ads featured Laura Dern, David Lynch and Kyle MacLachlan paired with reviews from notable news outlets. This oversized advertisement was paired with a quote from an article by Ben Travers for IndieWire in August 2017.
SHOWTIME FOR YOUR CONSIDERATION KYLE MACLACHLAN ADVERTISEMENT
I picked up this advertisement from Bruce Phillips, The Twin Peaks Guy who is a long-time collector of all things related to David Lynch and Mark Frost’s show. The ad measures approximately 12-inches tall by 9.75-inches wide and includes a quote from IndieWire: “Kyle MacLachlan is giving one of the best performances in television history.”
MacLachlan’s image was taken by Suzanne Tenner and used as part of the publicity photos for the show’s third season.
The 2018 Emmy nominations were announced July 12 but unfortunately, Kyle was snubbed for his portrayal of four different characters in the show.
BEN TRAVER’S INDIEWIRE ARTICLE
Ben Travers is the New York-based Television Critic and Deputy Editor at IndieWire, where he’s been writing reviews, analyzing industry trends, and interviewing key figures since 2014.
On August 21, 2017, he published an article titled: ‘Twin Peaks’: 7 Powerful Moments When Kyle MacLachlan Barely Moves. This was publish just after Part 14 aired on August 13 and before Part 15 was shown on August 20.
The quote used in the advertisement comes from the subhead to the article’s title.
Continuing my efforts to archive everything about this wonderful and strange show, I present Travers article below.
