Last Year’s Winner: “The Simpsons” Still Eligible: Yes. Hot Streak: It’s “The Simpsons.” Though last year marked the legendary Fox comedy’s first win in the category since 2008, the series has 28 nominations, 11 wins, and counting — and counting is the key word. Plenty thought the classic show was running out of steam and bound to be cast aside for newer, fresher, and plenty strong animated series. Instead, it not only keeps adding nominations to its high mark, but it’s got another win, too....

He explained that the idea for the documentary stemmed from a trip to Kyiv to support Ukraine’s war efforts against Russia. “In the texts of U2, this topic has always occupied us, to show solidarity with people who are oppressed, who are victims of violence,” Bono said. “When Edge and I took the train to Kyiv, I hadn’t thought about Sarajevo at first.

For now, that means the bulging global 2021 selection will give critics plenty to write about, but the festival is missing some of the usual red carpet bells and whistles that lures auteurs and celebrities to the Cote d’Azur for flashing photo calls and late-night offshore yacht revels.

To this growing (and hopefully soon fading) genre, Bonello offers “Coma,” a hybrid film that differs from the pack in a few notable ways, not least of which by way of tone. Because instead of looking to escape or transcend the doldrums of France’s second or third lockdown, Bonello opted to channel them, making a film in the zeitgeist about the zeitgeist. Of course, the mood of that particular zeit was one of ennui and defeat, and in a rather successful attempt to reflect as much, “Coma” can be a bit of a slog....
