John Cameron Mitchell, best known for “Hedwig and the Angry Inch,” premiered the music video for “New American Dream,” the title track to the director’s upcoming benefit album, on Tuesday. Proceeds from the album will be given to Burritos Not Bombs, Transgender Gender-Variant and Intersex Justice Project and Dr. Martin Luther King, Jr. Scholarship Trust Fund. The “New American Dream” music video doesn’t lack for imagery that is equal parts trippy and grotesque — a turtle shell-clad McConnell feasting on Trump’s face is one of the more benign images....

“The original idea stems from me being a 20-something entering the workforce for the first time at Pixar and feeling all of the inadequacies that are coming at you all at once,” Corbin said. “Am I a successful adult or am I bunch of kids running around to make it work? This was fun to visualize [adulting] as a short.” When approached to direct her first short through the experimental SparkShort program, Corbin immediately started hyperventilating....

Where to Watch ‘We Are Lady Parts’: Peacock “We Are Lady Parts” is constantly in motion. It’s not the kind of out-of-control frenzy that usually points to a show having no idea what to do to make its central characters compelling. Instead, this Channel 4/Peacock production, written and directed by creator Nida Manzoor, moves at the pace of someone trying to make sense of a world gradually shifting around her. The show was an immediate highlight of Thursday morning’s Gotham Award nominees, getting recognized in both Breakthrough Series and Outstanding Performance in a New Series....

All of which is to say that having the Golden Globe nominees and the Writers Guild of America nominees announced on the same day is absolutely wild. The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is never afraid to blaze its own path when it comes to nominations for the Golden Globes — vacillating wildly between buzzy upstarts and movie stars with few stops in-between — while the WGA generally presents a more contemplative slate of nominees....

Creating a virtual awards ceremony that boasts the luster of traditional Hollywood events is no easy task, but whatever events follow in the coming months will be able to learn from the 2020 Emmys. The 2020 Primetime Emmys’ virtual format was well-received by critics — IndieWire’s Ben Travers lauded the show as “technically immaculate” in his review — and though the festivities weren’t without fault, the fact that much of it was live deserves particular praise....
