“The Wobblies” tells the story of the radical labor union the Industrial Workers of the World, also known as IWW and nicknamed The Wobblies. Founded in Chicago in 1905, the union championed the formation of “one big union” for all unskilled laborers, regardless of their race and gender. Combining rare archival footage, illuminating interviews with Union members, period artwork, and songs written by activist Joe Hill, filmmakers Stewart Bird and Deborah Shaffer hope a re-release will speak to the same themes labor unions are facing today....

The Academy of Motion Pictures Arts and Sciences later banned Smith from attending Oscars-related events for the next decade. Smith previously resigned from the Academy....

In what seems like a selection of simply the most famous people on the planet regardless of profession, skateboarding icon Tony Hawk is among this year’s presenters. This week, he weighed in on reactions to his and others’ presenting gigs at the 94th Academy Awards on March 27. “If being in every ‘Jackass’ movie, ‘xXx,’ ‘Police Academy 4,’ and ‘Sharknado 5’ doesn’t qualify me to present at the Oscars, then your taste in movies needs readjusting,” Hawk tweeted, before adding, “(I’m presenting, btw)....
