A wire

Seth Gilliam of HBO's "The Wire" lashed out at the Emmy Awards on the BBC today, criticizing voters for giving his show only one nomination this year. In an interview on BBC 5 Live, the actor said that his series "deals with inner-city civil servants, and the Emmys would rather fantasize about lawyers and romance." "The Wire," which had its premiere in 2002 and finished its final season amid great critical applause in March, explored life on both sides of the drug trade, branching out in later seasons to examine Baltimore's public school system and journalism culture. Throughout its celebrated run, "The Wire" made little noise at the Emmys; it was nominated in 2005 for Outstanding Writing for a Drama Series, the same nomination it received this year. None of its actors were ever nominated for their work on the show. The 60th annual Emmy Awards will air live September 21 on ABC. … [Read more...] about ‘Wire’ Actor Slams Emmys

Atlantic City Mayor Frank Gilliam pleaded guilty Thursday to a federal wire fraud charge for soliciting tens of thousands of dollars in donations he claimed would go to a youth basketball team — but spending the dough on himself instead. In total, Gilliam, 49, defrauded victims of $87,215 — both during his mayoral term and his previous time as a City Council member, according to a federal lawsuit obtained by The Press of Atlantic City. Gilliam told potential donors that their contributions would benefit the youth basketball team and/or help provide school supplies to underprivileged children, according to the report. Instead, the mayor used the donations for personal expenses, including luxury clothing, pricey meals and trips that had nothing to do with the team, authorities told the paper. He became mayor in January of 2018, and served as a member of the council between January 2009 and December 2017, according to the suit. The alleged scheme occurred from 2013 until 2018, … [Read more...] about Atlantic City Mayor Frank Gilliam pleads guilty to wire fraud
