While there has been a trend of shortening opening title sequences on television or even doing away with them altogether, this year’s Emmy nominees for Best Main Title Design prove there are still shows that value the power of a good intro. The 2019 Emmy nominees for Best Main Title Design are: “Conversations with a Killer: The Ted Bundy Tapes” (Netflix), “Game of Thrones” (HBO), “Star Trek: Discovery” (CBS All Access), “True Detective” (HBO) and “Warrior” (Cinemax).
All five of these main titles share similarities in emphasizing symbolism and iconography present throughout their respective shows. Two of the nominated creative directors have previously won Emmys for previous seasons of their respective series, Angus Wall for “Game of Thrones” and Patrick Clair and Raoul Marks for “True Detective,” both for the first seasons.

In an age when Netflix’s “Skip Intro” button threatens to make a TV show’s opening credits into an endangered species, it’s more important than ever to acknowledge the work being done by the artists who set the tone for some of the year’s most notable series. “I have two jobs,” says two-time Emmy winner Patrick Clair, nominated this year for the haunting introduction to “True Detective” Season 3. “The main title needs to prove its worth — and also make it worth watching again and again.” His fellow nominees in the main title design category share that philosophy, while also revealing how they went about innovating — or in some cases, re-innovating — the art of these brief yet stunning sequences.

Juried prizes were presented tonight at the 25th annual Swsw Film Festival. Jim Gaffigan, in Austin to represent the Miranda Bailey-directed ensemble comedy “You Can Choose Your Family,” presided as host. The venue was the Paramount Theatre, a 103-year-old landmark just blocks from the Texas Capitol.
SXSW will continue screening films through Saturday, when most of the festival’s audience awards recipients will be announced. The exception is for the headlining films, such as “A Quiet Place,” “Blockers,” and “Ready Player One” — those verdicts follows on March 19.
