“​It is with great sadness, but with incredible pride, love and a whole lot of fond memories, that the family of Gennaro Anthony ‘Tony’ Sirico wishes to inform you of his death on the morning of July 8, 2022,” he wrote. “The family is deeply grateful for the many expressions of love, prayer and condolences and requests that the public respect its privacy in this time of bereavement. Memorial donations may be made in his honor to Wounded Warriors, St....

Peacock (and Paramount+, for that matter) experienced “tremendous growth,” they wrote. “The star of these charts is the rocket ship that is Peacock,” MoffettNathanson said. Take a moment to read that sentence again: “star… rocket ship… is Peacock.” MoffettNathanson tacked on a few caveats to that bold statement. Peacock’s ad-supported tier likely serves to exaggerate its growth; the Winter Olympics and the Super Bowl also served to goose the quarter. Being a relative newcomer that’s only begun getting the benefit of original content tends to be a good look for a quarterly snapshot....

Last Year’s Winner: Jharrel Jerome, “When They See Us” Still Eligible: No. Hot Streak: The same actor has never won this category in back-to-back years, and only one program has garnered more than one award: “American Crime Story” is two-for-two in the Best Actor in a Limited Series or TV Movie category, with Courtney B. Vance winning for “The People v. O.J. Simpson” in 2016 and Darren Criss taking home the trophy for “The Assassination of Gianni Versace” in 2018....

The SAG Awards take place February 27 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT, simulcast live on both TNT and TBS from the Barker Hangar in Santa Monica. Last year’s presentation was shrunk down to an hour-long event broadcast in April, whereas this year the Guild plans to return to its fully in-person festivities for the full ceremony. Last year’s SAG Award nominations were dominated by the likes of “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” “Minari,” “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” “One Night in Miami,” and “Da 5 Bloods” in the top film categories....

De Armas stars as the late bombshell in Andrew Dominik’s “Blonde,” an NC-17 portrait of the iconic film star. De Armas bares all for the film, emotionally and physically, spending long sequences topless and, at one point, fully nude. “I did things in this movie I would have never done for anyone else, ever,” de Armas told Variety. “I did it for her, and I did it for Andrew.” While de Armas previously said she was baffled by the NC-17 rating for the Netflix film, streaming September 28, the “No Time to Die” alum can anticipate which sequences will “go viral” because of her nudity, much like in her 2015 feature “Knock Knock” opposite Keanu Reeves....

Unfortunately, this three-part Discovery+ docuseries has little new to say on its subject — or the themes of power and abuse — because we’ve seen this narrative play out many times before. Hell, even just this week actor Shia LaBeouf, accused of abusive behavior by an ex-lover, embarked on a redemption tour in the hopes of reshaping his own narrative. Bad behavior from Hollywood’s It boys didn’t start or end with the “Call Me By Your Name” star....

“Venice International Film Festival carries with it a long and varied history, and I’m honored to be woven into its beautiful cinematic tradition,” Bong said in a statement. “As president of the jury — and more importantly as a perpetual cinephile — I’m ready to admire and applaud all the great films selected by the festival. I’m filled with genuine hope and excitement.” Barbera said in an additional statement, “The first item of good news regarding the 78th Venice Film Festival is that Bong Joon Ho has enthusiastically agreed to preside over the jury....
