Still: A Michael J Fox Movie has received the most Primetime Emmy Awards nominations of any nonfiction film or series, with its editor Michael Harte a native of Letterkenny

The 75th annual Primetime Emmy Awards nominations have been revealed, with Still: A Michael J Fox Movie from Apple TV+ earning seven nominations - the most of any nonfiction film or series.

With Michael Harte from Letterkenny the editor of Michael J Fox Movie, it was recognized in the marquee category of Outstanding Documentary or Nonfiction Series, as well as Outstanding Directing for a Documentary/Nonfiction for director Davis Guggenheim. The feature documentary also scored nominations for cinematography, picture editing, sound editing, sound mixing and music.

“The film, which incorporates documentary, archival and scripted elements, recounts Fox’s extraordinary story in his own words — the improbable tale of an undersized kid from a Canadian army base who rose to the heights of stardom in 1980s Hollywood,” is how it’s described by Apple.

“The account of Fox’s public life, full of nostalgic thrills and cinematic gloss, unspools alongside his never-before-seen private journey, including the years that followed his diagnosis, at 29, with Parkinson’s disease.

Harte’s mother is Mary, whose late father Mick Galligan was a Garda for 40 years, based in Carrick for a spell and married to Anna, who still Iives in Glenties. And Michael’s father is Jimmy Harte, the former Labour senator originally from Raphoe and the son of Paddy, who served for 36 years as TD for Donegal North-East.

Will Cohen, Producer, Michael Harte, Editor, Matt Dentler, Head of Features, Apple Original Films, Davis Guggenheim, Director/Producer, Michael J Fox and Jamie Erlicht, Apple's Head of Worldwide Video, attend the world premiere of Apple Original Films 'STILL: A Michael J. Fox Movie' at the Eccles Center at Sundance Film Festival 2023

Having studied Communications at DCU and then a Masters in Film Studies at UCD, Michael’s most notable credits include the multi-award winning Three Identical Strangers and Don’t Fu*k With Cats, which won a Bafta for best editing. His other credits include the Emmy nominated On The President's Orders’ and Torn.

The 75th Primetime Emmy Awards will be held September 18 at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles.
