Richard Linklater Disses Oscars For Cut Categories Life Achievement

The “Dazed and Confused” filmmaker explained that the Oscars are at a turning point, one that leans into the popular vote and one that truly honors film history. “I wish they’d get more hardcore,” Linklater told The Daily Beast. “There were two ways to go, and instead of reaching out to a younger audience, just get more rigorous. Don’t pander. Don’t cut categories and say, ‘Well, nobody cares who edits.’ Bullshit....

Rita Moreno Says Not To Take Sides Over Ansel Elgort Assault Claims

Rosamund Pike Buries Her Acting Awards In The Garden

“It’s probably [something] deeply psychological…if you’ve got any psychiatrists or therapists in your audience, maybe they’ll say it’s probably some deep lying imposter syndrome,” Pike said about burying her awards. “I find it an uneasy thing to display any award in your home. How do people interact with them when they come home? Do they say, ‘Oh wow, look, those are your awards!’ I think it’s awkward, so I bury them in the garden with a little bit showing up, so you can have an enticing glimpse of a hand, or a globe....

Ryan Murphy Finally Makes A Case For The Mega Deal

Now, cost-cutting is all the rage. When Netflix lost subscribers in Q1 and again in Q2, it became clear that streaming was as mortal as any business; the argument for $300 million deals, like Murphy’s, became a symbol of optimistic folly. And then: “Dahmer.” Murphy’s limited series, “Monster: The Jeffrey Dahmer Story,” premiered September 21; over the next 28 days, it became Netflix’s second-most-watched English-language TV series ever, behind only “Stranger Things 4....

Sam Raimi Wants To Make Another Marvel Movie After Doctor Strange 2

“I had seen ‘Iron Man,’ the first ‘Avengers,’ ‘Black Panther,’ and ‘Doctor Strange,’ and little clips of the other movies,” Raimi told Fandango. “They’ve made 28 movies. I’ve only really seen four or five.” But Raimi was a lifelong “giant fan” of the Marvel comic books, especially from the 1970s through 1990s. “I was super familiar with the characters, and their stories, and their interactions,” Raimi added. “That’s what the Marvel movies are based on....

Sarah Paulson Regrets American Horror Story Roanoke Underwhlemed

“I just don’t care about this season at all,” Paulson said. “I know people will get mad at me for saying it, but for me, this was post having played Marcia [in ‘American Crime Story: The People vs. OJ Simpson’] and it was what I went to do right after finishing Marcia. I was so underwhelmed by the whole experience because I felt like I had entered into a new place inside of myself in terms of what I thought possible, in terms of what I might be willing to see if I can do....
