Comments Off on FARGO: Noah Hawley on the FX Drama’s Peabody Win
The FX drama FARGO added to its already-impressive award total this week as it was honored by 74th annual Peabody Awards as one of the top programs of the year.
“It was a total surprise,” FARGO creator Noah Hawley shared on the set of the show’s second year. “It was humbling, the amount of recognition we’ve received…It’s getting harder to make something timeless. The idea of not just a flash-in-the-pan, zeitgeist moment, some kind of cultural impact that you feel when people look back at this year, this decade, you feel you made some impact. You look at those 100 best movie list and it’s CITIZEN KANE and THE GODFATHER, and you wonder if those movies were being made today, would they be at the top of the list? We have so much material coming at us all the time; the idea we could cut through was meaningful.”
