{‘Girls’ up for 4 Emmys, exec-producer doesn’t feel pressure to live up to hype (with video)}
Huddled among the Beautiful People at the Beverly Hilton Hotel this past January, executive producer Jenni Konner thought there was no way her HBO show Girls would win a Golden Globe.Sure, creator and star Lena Dunham had just won for best TV comedy actress. And the upstart series was getting more buzz than the latest Hollywood injection of the week, but still. You couldn’t ask for a best TV comedy trophy after just one season, could you?“Lena had just won for best actress, so I thought, well that’s our award. That’s for all of us, and how great. So I was very shocked when it happened,” Konner says. “I had started drinking because I thought there was no way we were going on the stage.“Honestly, I don’t remember hardly any of it.”Luckily she has a shiny spherical reminder, tucked in storage and waiting for just the right spot while her house is renovated. And as Girls vies for four Emmys this Sunday — a win would mark its first in a major Emmy category,[url=http://www.moncler-jacket.net]moncler outlet[/url],[url=http://just39.justhost.com/suspended.page/disabled.cgi/globalideasandservices.com?mod=spacecp&ac=blog&blogid=]Kerry urges parties 'no[/url], after winning for best casting last year — Konner doesn’t seem to be sweating the ceremonial stuff.“We’re always trying to push ourselves, but I don’t feel that kind of pressure,” she says. “I honestly just feel pressure to finish our scripts and finish shooting.”Girls, about four 20-somethings living in New York City, has been hogging headlines since it debuted last April. Thanks to its flawed characters, frank sexual discussions and fluency in both comedy and drama, it’s become pop-cultural shorthand for Generation Y.Konner first knew she’d found something unique when she stumbled on Dunham’s 2010 film Tiny Furniture,[url=http://www.moncler-jacket.net]moncler on sale[/url],[url=http://bbs.chcoin.com/home.php?mod=spacecp&ac=blog&blogid=]Gastronómico 2013 baja de la parrilla cultural a[/url], about a recent college grad who returns home and tries to figure out what to do next.“It was her voice,” Konner recalls. “She just had this insanely creative voice and she was so candid and telling stories that no one else would tell,[url=http://www.moncler-jacket.net]discount moncler jackets[/url], but that were very universal.”Later, when Dunham scored a script deal with HBO and needed a show supervisor, Konner gladly hopped aboard along with Judd Apatow, he of cult TV shows Freaks and Geeks and Undeclared, and raunchy slacker films like Superbad and Knocked Up.Konner and Dunham became friends and have since turned out a series that has become smarter, riskier and more polished as it’s gone along.After criticisms of the show’s largely white cast, Season 2 introduced an African-American boyfriend for Hannah (Dunham). Girls also raised eyebrows after a seemingly non-consensual sex scene, and a tryst between Hannah and a man whom some said was too attractive to be interested in her.The show just wrapped filming Season 3,[url=http://www.fingerlog.com/index.php?do=/user/login/]BBC News - A Point of View: Why people give into temptation[/url], which will likely debut early in 2014, but beyond that Konner isn’t plotting the fates of the four leads, should three seasons become five or seven or even 10.“I just get so tired thinking like that,” she says. “I don’t know. Lena and I were at South by Southwest or some conference and we came up with the way that everyone died,[url=http://www.moncler-jacket.net]womens moncler down coat[/url], in the spirit of Six Feet Under.”What exactly those fates were, she won’t say. But she will reveal how she unwinds when filming and little appointments like the Emmys aren’t on the schedule.“I go home to L.A. and spend time with my kids,” she says,[url=http://www.moncler-jacket.net]moncler down jackets[/url], adding that they are a good decade and a half from their turbulent 20s.“I’m trying to put off thinking about that for as long as possible,” Konner admits. “Right now I’m focused on being terrified about them being in their teens.”Girls is nominated for best comedy, best comedy lead actress, best supporting comedy actor and best directing at Sunday’s Emmy Awards, airing on CTV and CBS. Girls is currently airing repeat episodes on CosmoTV in Canada.
