It was a direct address of how the event, which had to take two years off due to the pandemic that is still affecting everyone’s schedules, travels, etc., was now back as a somewhat more humble affair (for instance, the last person to present the Franklin J. Schaffner Alumni Medal to someone was Beyoncé). After a three-course meal, the audience was treated to a bit of theater, with the first presenters being the child stars from “The Sound of Music,” Angela Cartwright, Duane Chase, Nicholas Hammond, Kym Karath and Debbie Turner, all grown up and leading a sing-a-long of “Do-Re-Mi....

In Colin Trevorrow’s “Jurassic World: Dominion,” they finally take center stage thanks to a grand reunion that sees Trevorrow’s “Jurassic World” stars (including Chris Pratt and Bryce Dallas Howard) thrown into a complex new story that requires the assistance of no less than Dr. Ian Malcolm (Goldblum), Dr. Alan Grant (Neill), and Dr. Ellie Sattler (Dern). But for Trevorrow, who returns to both write and direct this supposed final chapter in the “Jurassic World” franchise (J....

The Emmy-winning actress, director, producer, and activist used her guest hosting gig on the July 20 episode of “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” to help two fellow Screen Actors Guild members qualify for health insurance. “Acting is one of those jobs that seems very, very glamorous. Sometimes it is. But in reality it can also be very tough,” Washington said. “When I first started out, I had to supplement my income by being a substitute teacher, a yoga instructor, a hostess at a restaurant....

“I didn’t think the crimes would be buried forever,” Lee told the court at the retrial of Yoon, who was convicted of one of the 10 murders and spent 20 years in prison. Yoon, whose full name has not been published due to South Korean privacy laws, was released from prison in 2008 and is now in a retrial trying to overturn his conviction. “I still don’t understand [why I wasn’t a suspect],” Lee said about his involvement in the Hwaseong murders....

Sony as a studio continues on a roll. This weekend “Uncharted” took in a stronger than expected $44 million in U.S./Canada theaters. Impressive as that was, it also is critical as the highest opening gross for a non-franchise or sequel release in over two years and it comes, like “Afterlife,” from a studio that has no direct streaming platform. That makes its reliance on traditional strategies — first in theaters, then PVOD at a reduced but still sufficient six-week period, later reduced price — before streaming critical....

Based on the novel by bestselling author Walter Mosley, Apple TV+’s upcoming limited series “The Last Days of Ptolemy Grey” stars Samuel L. Jackson as Ptolemy Grey, an ailing man who is alone in the world as he battles dementia. After Ptolemy is assigned to the care of orphaned teen Robyn (Dominique Fishback), he is able to reclaim his memories thanks to a new treatment.

TV award historians can fact-check this, but “Corrections” might be the first gift to be Emmy-nominated. The segment started last spring as simple way for “Late Night” host Seth Meyers to tell jokes to his longtime friend and producing partner Mike Shoemaker. From its online-only humble beginnings, the show has steadily grown its viewership and taken on its own mythology of winding, nested callbacks. The “jackals” — a name given to the collection of good-natured pedants who swoop into the comments section of “Late Night” YouTube videos to correct everything from pronunciations and pluralizaions to biological classifications to the history of German Expressionist cinema — now even have their own official merch....
