Emmys 2021 Ceremonies Shift Outdoors Not All Nominees Can Attend

The Television Academy announced Tuesday that all ceremonies, including the Creative Arts Emmys, will take place on the Event Deck at L.A. Live directly behind the Microsoft Theater where the ceremony was scheduled to be held. The locale is a far cry from the expansive Staples Center where last year’s events took place, but the new venue allows for both inside and outside access, as well as more opportunities to host guests in an open-air, socially-distanced fashion....

Fear Street Why Netflix S Horror Trilogy Features Queer Love Story

Romances tend to not last too long in slasher films. There is, after all, a reason why the most consistent survival trope in horror films is “the final girl,” not “the final couple.” But it doesn’t have to be that way. Filmmaker Leigh Janiak gets that, and while her ambitious, time-spanning “Fear Street” trilogy giddily unpacks and twists all manner of horror ideas, finding a new way into a central love story is perhaps its most subversive concept....

Four Good Days Review Glenn Close And Mila Kunis Star

And what of the disappointing fact that it was directed by Rodrigo García, a master chronicler of interior lives, from “In Treatment” to “Nine Lives”? Despite Close’s valiant efforts, everything about “Four Good Days” feels artificial, like face powder barely caked on over the horrors of a TV movie of the week. When “Four Good Days” begins, we meet an unrecognizable Mila Kunis as Molly. She’s a 10-plus-year-long heroin addict who’s been all but kicked to the curb by her mother Deb (Close), a kindly massage therapist who doesn’t display any of her daughter’s tendencies for addiction aside from the occasional (and at times very much needed) swill of white wine....

Fox News Didn T Air The Jan 6 Hearing It Topped Cnn In Viewers Anyway

MSNBC averaged a whopping (for them) 4.161 million total viewers, trouncing both Fox News (2.957 million total viewers) by 29 percent and CNN (2.617 total million viewers) by 37 percent. CNN finished way ahead of its direct cable news competition in the key demographic for news programming, adults 25-54, with 709,000 viewers from that age range vs. 555,000 on MSNBC and 513,000 on Fox. That’s a 22 percent advantage over MSNBC and 28 percent win over Fox News....

Francis Ford Coppola Prefers Less Awards Shows Just Oscars

Francis Ford Coppola posed the question as to why awards season is getting bigger — and grander — by the year during the 50th anniversary celebration of “The Godfather.” “There are too many awards shows now. I liked it when it was just the Oscars,” Coppola told Variety. Yet even the Academy Awards have become too much: “I don’t like it so much as a big razzle-dazzle production,” Coppola added. “I like it more intimate, when they had a gentle quality that I think was nice....

Golden Globes 2022 Canceled By Nbc Amid Hfpa Controversy

The Los Angeles Times’s scorching piece on February 21 revealed that along with accusations of self-dealing and an overall lack of voting transparency, the organization had voted not to hire a diversity consultant in the wake of the Black Lives Matter protests last summer, and declined to participate in press conferences for “Bridgerton,” “Girls Trip,” and “Queen and Slim,” among others. It’s a lot to keep track of, so head over here for a detailed timeline of every scandal that has befallen the Hollywood Foreign Press Association so far this year....

Halftime Review Jennifer Lopez S Compelling Netflix Documentary

The documentary also wants to tell us, as Lopez once said, that’s she’s still just Jenny from the block. The great surprise and joy of Micheli’s straightforward narrative is, thanks to intimate access and clever editing, we have sympathy for Lopez’s apparent case of imposter syndrome. For the performer — and, at some point, for her audience — it’s very real. Even with her current run of accolades and successes, Lopez has the never lost the desire to succeed (or, it seems, gained the ability to settle into the feeling of that success)....
