The New York Times and Walt Disney Co's FX
network released "Framing Britney Spears" in February. It was
Emmy-nominated for best documentary and for best picture editing
for a nonfiction program.
The 74-minute documentary examined the singer’s meteoric rise to
fame as a teenager, the ensuing media scrutiny and her widely
publicized breakdown, as well as her life under the
conservatorship and a fan movement known as #FreeBritney.
The "Baby One More Time" singer has lived under a
conservatorship overseen by her father since 2008, when she was
hospitalized for psychiatric treatment. Last month, she told a
Los Angeles court that the arrangement was abusive https://www.reuters.com/legal/litigation/britney-spears-gets-her-day-court-what-will-she-say-2021-06-23
and she wanted it to end. Another court hearing on her case is
scheduled for Wednesday.
Winfrey's two-hour sit-down with Harry and Meghan in March sent
shockwaves through the British monarchy when Meghan accused

of raising concerns about how dark their son’s skin might be and
of pushing her to the brink of suicide.
It aired on CBS and got an Emmy nomination in the best hosted
nonfiction series or special category.
In the best documentary series category, contenders include
HBO's "Allen v. Farrow," which explored the allegation that film
director Woody Allen sexually assaulted his daughter Dylan
Farrow in 1992.
Allen has repeatedly denied the allegations and called the
series a "hatchet job."
The Emmy winners will be announced at a live televised ceremony
in Los Angeles on Sept. 19.
