During the February awards ceremony, while accepting the prize for Best Supporting Actor for his turn as Black Panther Party Chairman Fred Hampton in “Judas and the Black Messiah,” technical issues muted the beginning of his acceptance speech. “I told the best joke of my life and I was muted! Can you believe that? I thought I was in the Sunken Place!” he said, referencing his performance in Jordan Peele’s “Get Out....
Host: Will Forte Host: Will Forte As Forte noted in his opening monologue, every former “SNL” cast member who was a repertory player at the time of his final season, Season 35 (12 years ago), managed to host before he ever did. Sometimes multiple times — and that even counted for John Mulaney, who was “just” a writer for the show, never a cast member. When you really consider who that entails, you have to think about just how stacked a cast — though also lacking in women — it was....
The movie is about Joe Gardner (Jamie Foxx), a struggling middle-school band teacher from Queens, who finally gets a gig playing piano at the Half Note in Manhattan, only to fall in a manhole. But he leaps off the monochromatic stairway to The Great Beyond and lands in The Great Before, a celestial training center where new souls are formed before birth. There he’s assigned to mentor the rebellious prankster, 22 (Tina Fey), who has no interest in life and refuses to be born....
Del Barrio was in their final year of acting at the London Academy of Music and Dramatic Art when they auditioned for the role of Adira, a non-binary resident of the 32nd Century who quickly finds the U.S.S. Discovery to be their new home. “Highly intelligent with a confidence and self-assurance well beyond their years,” Adira becomes friends with Dr. Hugh Culber (Wilson Cruz) and Paul Stamets (Anthony Rapp), who were the first gay couple to be part of a “Trek” show’s major cast....
Series creators Matt and Ross Duffer confirmed during the “Happy Sad Confused” podcast that a spinoff show is in the works, but fans should not expect a standalone story for Millie Bobby Brown’s Eleven or Joe Keery’s Steve. Instead, the upcoming series will be “1,000 percent different” than the current flagship show. “I’ve read these rumors that there’s going be an Eleven spinoff, that there’s going be a Steve and Dustin spinoff or that it’s another number,” the Duffer Brothers said....
“The White Lotus” and “Euphoria” star Sydney Sweeney was on hand at Fenway Park to throw out the ceremonial first pitch when the Boston Red Sox hosted the Toronto Blue Jays. The actress donned a Red Sox jersey for the occasion, but her support did not do the home team much good. If anything, she might have been the bad luck charm. The Red Sox ended up losing in a blowout of historic proportions, as the Blue Jays beat them 28-5....
The series will follow two different paths: the story of how Ahsoka Tano left her Togruta family to join the Jedi order near infancy and her life as told in key moments in the years after that, and also the story of young Count Dooku and his Padawan Qui-Gon Jinn (voiced once more by Liam Neeson) as Dooku warns about “the rising darkness” he foretells will take over the galaxy. Of course, he ultimately chooses to join that darkness, becoming the Sith Lord Darth Tyranus and leading the Separatist movement in the Clone Wars....
