The fact that “The Jinx: The Life and Deaths of Robert Durst” managed to win itself 6 nominations, just adds to the nomination extravaganza for this year’s Emmy.
The Jinx is a HBO miniseries documentary that examines the complicated life of reclusive real estate icon, Robert Durst, the key suspect in a series of unsolved crimes. The series investigates the unsolved 1982 disappearance of Durst's wife Kathie, the 2000 execution-style killing of writer Susan Berman, and the 2001 death and dismemberment of Durst's neighbor Morris Black in Galveston, Texas.
Directed and produced by Andrew Jarecki and produced and shot by Marc Smerling , it documents long-buried information discovered during their seven-year investigation of a series of unsolved crimes.
The Jinx has received widespread critical acclaim and has developed somewhat of a cult following.
Other shows that received nominations were “Olive Kitteridge” (13 nominations), “Bessie” (12 nominations and CINEMAX’s “The Knick” (5 nominations), amongst others.
