Barack Obama is halfway to an EGOT. The former US president won an Emmy Award on Saturday to go with his two Grammys. Obama won the best narrator Emmy for his work on the Netflix documentary series, “Our Great National Parks”. The five-part show, which features national parks from around the globe, is produced by Barack and Michelle Obama’s production company, “Higher Ground”. He was the biggest name in a category full of famous nominees for the award handed out at Saturday night’s Creative Arts Emmys, including Kareem Abdul-Jabbar, David Attenborough and Lupita Nyong’o. Barack Obama is the second president to have an Emmy. Dwight D Eisenhower was given a special Emmy Award in 1956. EGOT refers to a special category of entertainers who have won an Emmy, a Grammy, an Oscar and a Tony. To date, 17 people have done it.
A woman brewer heads Oktoberfest in West Bank
The annual Oktoberfest this weekend at Taybeh brewery in the occupied West Bank is a beer festival like no other. Ever since 1994 it has operated under challenging circumstances. Now the Palestinian brewery is run by a woman, Madees Khoury, adding an extra layer of complication. Khoury says she is the first, and perhaps the only female brewer in West Asia, and heads a beer dynasty which has turned the small Christian village of Taybeh in the Israeli-occupied West Bank into a global beer brand. Launched in 2005, Oktoberfest at Taybeh is about Palestinian identity, beer and politics. Khoury is a woman in a male-dominated industry. “Women in the beer industry have it very difficult,” she said. “But I think I have it extra difficult being in a male-dominated country, an Arab country and under occupation – so it’s four or five times harder than for anywhere else.”
