Gervais never failed to attract controversy during his memorable stints hosting the Golden Globes from 2010-2012, and his subsequent returns in 2016 and 2020. His biting monologues spared nobody in Hollywood, and while the British comedian would love to host the Oscars, he believes that the Academy would never tolerate his brash approach to comedy. In an appearance on ABC’s “The View,” to promote the third and final season of his Netflix series “After Life,” Gervais explained why the looser style of the Golden Globes was a better fit for him, and why he would never tone down his material to a level that the Oscars would deem appropriate....

For returning editor Todd Downing, wrapping his head around Season 2 was like “ripping the layers off and going deeper into a psychedelic, surreal world.” “There’s much more of a dreamy aspect to it,” he told IndieWire. Not surprisingly, there was a lot to unpack in the very first episode. A few days before her 40th birthday, Nadia boards the 6 Train and travels back to 1982, where she inhabits the body of her then-pregnant mother, Lenora (Chloe Sevigny)....

The hundreds gathered focused on mourning Hutchins, but many also connected the tragedy to broader conversations around crew safety and the familiar financial pressures that lead productions to make sometimes dangerous cost-saving decisions. Among those who spoke was ASC President Stephen Lighthill, who taught the 42-year-old Hutchins at the American Film Institute. “I thank her for being a really brilliant student who came to AFI already a mother. When we interview at AFI, we’re looking to bring in a person, not just a technician, not just an artist, but a person who will really contribute and will bring unique experience,” he said....

One of the strengths of director Joshua Rofé is how far afield of that central myth it’s willing to travel at various points. What begins as one intrepid journalist’s hunt for answers behind an overheard anecdote that’s lingered for nearly 30 years stretches to fit parts of the greater web surrounding that search. Yet, like so many other true crime-adjacent projects in recent memory, “Sasquatch” shrugs off its most fascinating context for a single thread, one that leaves the audience in as much of an ambling haze as its main surrogate....

“We asked our agents if our auditions could be scheduled one right after the other, so that one of us could audition for Cheddar, with the other reading the Rabbit part, and then we’d switch,” Rogen said. “We had a sleepover at my apartment the night before the auditions so we could rehearse and then carpooled to the audition together.” It turns out attempting to play a Detroit rapper did not fit Rogen like a glove....

“I think part of it was the mindset of Billy and me getting into that mindset,” Ulrich recently told Entertainment Weekly while celebrating the film’s 25th anniversary. “I saw it as this very serious documentary about two killers in high school and I was researching serial killers and the psychology of them, so I didn’t really key into the humor of the story until take one of day one.” After “day one, scene one, take one,” Ulrich realized “Scream” had a far lighter tone that he was preparing for....

Hosted with brio by married couple Megan Mullally and Nick Offerman, the 37th Independent Spirit Awards aired live on IFC and the IFC app, and streamed on AMC+. “They’re not going to your movies,” warned Offerman of the blockbuster-obsessed audiences the studios are ever trying to court. But the attendees, while distressed about the state of the world and the war in Ukraine, were generally upbeat about the state of the industry, as streamers and distributors are hungry for product and a maw for fresh content needs to be fed....
