If you’ve felt a little extra sparkle in the air lately, it’s not just holiday lights or Broadway buzz — Westchester County is officially having its Hollywood moment.
This awards season, movies and TV shows filmed right here in Westchester racked up an impressive 31 nominations across the Golden Globe and Critics Choice Awards. Yes, our quiet, tree-lined towns and historic estates are sharing the spotlight with red carpets and acceptance speeches.
Among the standouts?
Films and series shot locally — including critically acclaimed projects like A24’s Marty Supreme and popular TV shows such as The Diplomat, The Gilded Age, Poker Face, Severance, and Elsbeth — earned nominations in major categories like Best Picture, Best Actor, Best Director, and more.
In other words: Westchester isn’t just a backdrop — it’s part of the story.
Why Westchester Keeps Getting Cast
Producers love Westchester for a reason. We’ve got:
-
Grand historic homes
-
Charming villages
-
Rolling countryside
-
Iconic locations like Playland
-
And easy access to NYC without feeling like NYC
Translation? It can double as just about anywhere — while still feeling cinematic and authentic.
Why This Matters (Beyond the Bragging Rights)
Sure, it’s fun to say “That scene was filmed five minutes from my house” — but these productions also bring real economic benefits, create local jobs, and shine a national spotlight on the region we already know is special.
So while Hollywood hands out trophies this season, Westchester gets a win too — proof that you don’t need to cross a bridge or tunnel to find award-worthy scenery.
Keep your eyes open… your favorite street might be next.
