We have ourselves a race! The Oscar contests for Best Actor and Best Actress got especially interesting at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Sunday because the winners disagreed with another industry peer group honor, the BAFTA Awards. But who tends to win the Oscar under those circumstances, the SAG winner, the BAFTA winner, or someone else entirely?

Let's start with Best Actress, where Demi Moore (The Substance) won the SAG Award while Mikey Madison (Anora) won BAFTA. This is the fifth year in a row that the two awards diverged. Let's break down all those disagreements year by year.

Halle Berry said she is “tired” of being the only Black woman to have taken home the Oscar for Best Actress, and expressed her hope that another Black performer will be recognized in the category this year.

Berry appeared on Trevor Noah’s “What Now?” podcast last week to discuss where she has found purpose in life over the years — she’s now taken on menopause care advocacy work.

Check out the full interview below:

“Like, winning that Oscar at that time, I was chosen to do that, to open that door. I knew it was bigger than me,” Berry told hosts Trevor Noah and Christiana Mbakwe Medina.

“I hope this year someone stands next to me. This year, I hope it happens because I’m tired of occupying that space alone,” Berry continued. “I hope this is the year, but even if it’s not, I was chosen in...

One of the first rules Neil Cross gave his team when making Iris, the new thriller series he created for Sky U.K., was that the lead character should never drive a car with a roof. “If Grace Kelly wouldn’t drive it, neither should Iris,” says Cross, laughing.

After spending years in the grime of East London making Luther, the dark cop drama starring Idris Elba as a homicide detective with some very nasty personal demons, Cross was ready for something light and sunny. With Iris, which “to create a different kind of show… something my wife and I could enjoy with a glass of wine on the sofa.”

Iris exchanges Luther‘s cold and cloudy London for a sun-drenched Italian countryside — the show was shot largely in Sardina — and takes inspiration from the British spy and adventure shows of Cross’ youth, think The Saint or The Persuaders!, for its chase thriller plot line.

There’s a common phrase that goes on in the tech world, ‘but can it run Doom?’, which has become synonymous with trying to run the classic, but still popular original 1993 version of Doom on the most absurd hardware combinations possible.

People have managed to get Doom running on all sorts of hardware – including but not limited to calculators, microwaves and even pregnancy test kits. A recent endeavour from a particular modder has managed to go one step further – running the game within Minecraft using its various intricacies which is quite an amazing feat.

Exclusive: Ja’Lisa Arnold has been named as the 2025 recipient of the $10,000 Deutsche Bank Frieze Los Angeles Film Award, with Christopher Guerrero being revealed as the winner of the $2,500 Audience Award, voted for by the public. Both winners received their prizes during an invitation-only ceremony at the renowned art fair.

Realized in collaboration with non-profit Ghetto Film School and film and TV studio Fifth Season, the Frieze Los Angeles Film Award is recognized within the industry as an incubator for next-generation talent. Since its launch in 2019, the initiative has supported over 40 fellows, providing a platform for emerging voices in filmmaking.

Arnold’s award-winning film Grief Cannot Exist Without Joy follows Tobi, a gifted musician struggling with the recent loss of his brother, Lou. His only path to healing is through music — by completing an unfinished song dedicated to his sibling, he confronts his grief and finds a way forward.

Fremantle is readying to unleash ‘Sandokan’ onto industry insiders during next week’s London TV Screenings.

“It’s simply a great epic adventure, based on a known IP. It’s ‘Poldark’ meets ‘Pirates of the Caribbean’,” enthuses CEO Commercial and International Jens Richter, promising action, adventure and some good old-fashioned pirating.

Starring Can Yaman (“Daydreamer”), Ed Westwick (“Gossip Girl”) and John Hannah (“Spartacus: Blood and Sand”), it’s based on the series of novels by Emilio Salgari and produced by Fremantle’s Italian content powerhouse Lux Vide. Set in the mid-1800s, it heads to a place inhabited by native Dayak tribes yet dominated by British law. Sandokan is used to fighting for his survival, but one thing catches him by surprise: love.

“There’s a portion of romance,” admits Richter. With each episode set in a different environment, “Sandokan” will “fit the needs of the market perfectly,” he adds.

Kate Winslet is one of the most iconic actresses in the industry, having worked in some truly revolutionary movies. From Revolutionary Road, Eternal Sunshine, and arguably the most famous romantic movie of all time, Titanic, Winslet is a worker who has consistently been lauded for her roles.

However, not many will know, that she was once considered for the role of Éowyn in Peter Jackson’s The Lord of the Rings trilogy. Following her breakout success in Titanic (1997), Winslet was at the peak of her career, and her name came up when Jackson was casting for the epic fantasy saga. However, despite her past collaboration with the director, she ultimately turned down the opportunity.

The following contains mild spoilers for "Companion."

"Companion" is the first big surprise of the movie year, a funny, thrilling film with a great cast and an even better twist. As Chris Evangelista wrote in his review for /Film, "'Companion' is the first great film of 2025 — a funny, fast-moving, meticulously crafted horror-thriller with a killer performance from lead Sophie Thatcher."

The film follows Iris (Thatcher), who goes on a weekend getaway trip with her boyfriend Josh (Jack Quaid) to visit a group of his friends at a remote cabin that quickly turns into a chaotic bloodbath. The film also stars Lukas Gage, Harvey Guillén, Megan Suri, and Ruper Friend.

This is a notoriously hard movie to talk about without talking about its premise and the first-act twist, which the second trailer already openly revealed. Still, if you don't want to know anything about what "Companion" is actually about,...

This article contains major spoilers for "Companion."

Gender-based conflict, violence, and terror are embedded into the fabric of horror. Vampires searching for brides, damsels in distress needing to be saved, "Hitchcock blondes," and masked slashers hacking up scantily clad babysitters and camp counselors are mainstays of the genre, and the overwhelming majority of horror stories are either exploiting, examining, or subverting the expectations of gender-based violence. However, as film theorist Carol J. Clover so perfectly explained in her essay "Her Body, Himself: Gender in the Slasher Film," when it comes to horror, "gender is less a wall than a permeable membrane."

Horror movies are rich with cross-gender identification, and it's been psychologically theorized that horror fans have a greater capacity for empathy. It's why cis men watch a film like "Aliens" and easily identify Ellen Ripley as the coolest character without ever believing she's "lesser-than" for being a woman, and...

Reese Witherspoon has made headlines by revealing that a famous British actress will no longer talk to her and we’ve identified that actress as Kate Winslet.

The Oscar-winning actress opened up about the falling out in a new interview alongside her You’re Cordially Invited co-star Will Ferrell.

Reese asked Will, “Have you ever had this moment where you gave a speech and then like three years later, you’re like, ‘Why did I do that? Why did I do that?’”

What began as a pandemic-era writing exercise is now Companion, Drew Hancock’s widely acclaimed feature directorial debut.

Feeling unfulfilled by the sitcom-heavy direction his career was going, Hancock admitted some hard truths to himself during the dregs of 2020. So the Omaha, Nebraska native decided to write his way out of his lot at the time by crafting a genre feature that he could use as a writing sample to land other related work. That screenplay became Companion, and feeling confident in what he’d committed to paper, the filmmaker decided to send the script to a mutual friend of BoulderLight Pictures’ J.D. Lifshitz.

Riding high on their recent producorial success of Zach Cregger’s Barbarian, Lifshitz and his producing partner Raphael Margules were so impressed by Hancock’s script that they brought it to the rest of the Barbarian brain trust including Vertigo’s Roy Lee and Cregger himself.

Exclusive: Korean action star Jang Hyuk is set to make his directorial and writing debut with action film Stop Stop Dark Cold, alongside Stars Collective and Stars Entertainment.

Jang Hyuk has played roles in films like Volcano High, The Swordsman, The Killer and Iris 2 as well as shows like Slave Hunters and Bloody Heart.

Trained extensively in Jeet Kune Do, Jang will mark his directorial and writing debut with Stop Stop Dark Cold.

Stop Stop Dark Cold is currently in the script development phase and is slated to begin production in mid-2025.

Stars Collective and Stars Entertainment said that they have cross-industry ambitions for Stop Stop Dark Cold, which include extending the IP beyond the silver screen to immersive experiences, merchandise, anime and gaming.

“I am deeply committed to this project and eager to explore the future implications of technology through my artistic lens,” said Jang. “I look forward to connecting with audiences worldwide.

Actor-director Daniel Auteuil and key “Emilia Perez” collaborator Jean-Baptiste Pouilloux have set up their next features with Les Films Velvet, the auteur-focused production outfit behind this year’s Unifrance Rendez-Vous in Paris opener “The Musicians” as well as Rebecca Zlotowski’s upcoming, Jodie Foster-led thriller “Vie Privée.”

After last year’s Cannes-launched legal thriller “An Ordinary Case,” Auteuil will step back behind the camera for the World War II drama “Une Nuit” (“One Night”). Co-written by Auteuil and filmmaker Camille Lugan (“The Book of Joy”), the film follows the incredible true story of a 1942 effort to rescue more then one hundred Jewish children from a deportation camp just outside of Lyon. Les Films Velvet’s Frederic Jouve will produce alongside Adrien Nussenbaum.

An in-demand assistant director who has worked closely with Jacques Audiard, Zlotowski and Nadav Lapid, Pouilloux most recently led second unit on “Emilia Perez” before directing the Canal Plus series “Iris.

Season 2 of Squid Game sees Lee Byung-hun’s character, Hwang In-ho, come into his own, after his identity as villainous game-runner the Front Man was revealed late in season 1. He’s joined by Korean hip-hop star T.O.P, who arrives in the third episode of the season playing Thanos, a loudmouth rapper who’s entered the game after losing all his money in bad crypto investments.

The scene is set for these two heavyweights of Korean entertainment to square off in the following episode, when Thanos starts beating up another player with his friend Nam-gyu. They blame their victim, Myung-gi, for defrauding them with cryptocurrencies. With the other participants watching on, the Front Man steps in. “What makes you think you can behave like that?” he asks, approaching T.O.P’s character. This face-off appears to be a deliberate reference to the TV series that launched Byung-hun to A-list status across Asia.

Roger Pratt, an Oscar-nominated British cinematographer who worked on two Harry Potter films and with such top directors as Tim Burton, Terry Gilliam, Kenneth Branagh, Mike Leigh, Lasse Hallström, Neil Jordan, Wolfgang Petersen and Richard Attenborough, has died. He was 77.

The British Society of Cinematographers said he died in late 2024 but did not provide an exact date or a cause.

Pratt earned an Academy Award nom for Jordan’s The End of the Affair (1999) and also lensed the filmmaker’s Mona Lisa (1986) and 2000 short Not I. His dozens of credits include Harry Potter and the Chamber of Secrets (2002) and Harry Potter and the Goblet of Fire (2005); Burton’s Batman (1989); Leigh’s High Hopes (1988); Gilliam’s Brazil (1985), The Fisher King (1991) and 12 Monkeys (1995); Branagh’s Frankenstein (1994); and Hallström’s Chocolat (2000); and Petersen’s Troy (2004).

Warning! Spoilers ahead for Squid Game season 2.Squid Game season 2 ends with a heartbreaking twist involving Front Man/Hwang In-ho, but for those who want a better ending, Lee Byung-hun's 15-year-old K-drama, Iris, is a good follow-up watch. After an extended hiatus, Netflix's groundbreaking Korean show returns for its much-anticipated sophomore year. The latest ensemble is largely composed of new faces, primarily because most of the players from its debut year ended up dying during the competition, Squid Game season 2 features some familiar faces. Aside from Lee Jung-jae's Seong Gi-hun, who re-enters the underground game, it also sees Lee reprise his role as Front Man.

Front Man's role in Squid Game season 1 was minor. He was mostly behind his mask, commanding the guards who facilitated the deadly competition. It wasn't until later in the run that he was unmasked, as he came face-to-face with his police officer brother,...

Kate Winslet Net Worth (Photo Credit – Prime Video)

Kate Winslet is one of the most celebrated actresses of Hollywood and has over the years established a glorious career with her versatile filmography. While she started her acting stint with some commercials and theatre, it was the movie Titanic which catapulted her into the main league. This has also resulted in her astounding bankability.

Kate Winslet’s Journey

She got her first major break with the 1994 film Heavenly Creatures. She was then seen in the film Sense And Sensibility which proved to be a success. However, it was her performance as Rose in the film Titanic opposite Leonardo Dicaprio which was a true game changer for her.

Since then, there was no looking back for the actress. It was followed by a diversified filmography with movies like Enigma, Holy Smoke and Kinky. She was furthermore seen in Iris, Eternal Sunshine Of The Spotless Mind,...

Jack Quaid is moving on from Star Trek: Lower Decks and Lieutenant Brad Boimler, but Jack stars in two of the most exciting new movies to kick off 2025, Companion and Novocaine. For five seasons, Quaid played the animated Brad Boimler on Star Trek: Lower Decks, as well as Boimler's transporter clone, Captain William Boimler. Jack also brought Ensign Brad Boimler to live-action, alongside Tawny Newsome as Ensign Beckett Mariner, in Star Trek: Strange New Worlds' acclaimed season 2 crossover with Star Trek: Lower Decks.

Making his motion picture acting debut as the villainous Marvel in The Hunger Games, Jack Quaid's star has steadily risen since 2019, when Jack hit Prime Video as one of the series leads in The Boys. Following up voicing Boimler on Star Trek: Lower Decks, Quaid returned to movie screens as Richie Kirsch, one of the Ghostface killers in Scream (2022). Jack Quaid's talent and versatility have garnered him...

Shrinking Season 2 returns viewers to the world of the beloved Cognitive Behavioral Therapy Center and the life of one Jimmy Laird (Jason Segel) and his colleagues Paul Rhoades (Harrison Ford) and Gaby Evans (Jessica Williams). All three characters employ music both in their practices and in their personal daily lives. Jimmy’s daughter Alice (Lukita Maxwell) also has a very specific taste in music.

Season 1 of Shrinking kicked off with Billy Joel’s “Prelude/Angry Young Man” and Arcade Fire’s “Unconditional I (Lookout Kid).” Later on in the season, Nine Days’ “Absolutely (Story of a Girl)”, Phoebe Bridger’s “Funeral” and The 1975’s “Me” also had had moments in the spotlight.

Paramount+’s Mayor Of Kingstown season 2, episode 2 showed Iris (Emma Laird) fleeing the McLusky household to seek Milo's (Aidan Gillen) aid - but this tragic twist was shown to be inevitable far before that. Mayor Of Kingstown season 2, episode 1 focused on detailing the aftermath of the prison riots in Kingstown, both in relation to the inmates’ life and the power vacuum created by the gangs’ leaders’ death. Episode 2 expands on this, but also reveals that Milo is once again running his own operations, this time outside of prison - showing his hideout when Iris flees to request his help.

A big Mayor Of Kingstown season 1 storyline involved Milo trying to understand what buttons to push to force Mike (Jeremy Renner) to help him. Milo eventually realized Mike couldn’t have not interfered if he hurt Iris, prompting Iris and Mike’s connection in Mayor Of Kingstown season 1. However, Mike’s...

Sergio Leone's filmmaking instincts were unerring. Once he got his feet under him with "A Fistful of Dollars," he made masterfully composed widescreen Western epics that were dense with references to their genre predecessors. You don't have to be a movie buff to fall in love with a Leone film, but your enjoyment is certainly enhanced, particularly on multiple viewings, when you realize how deftly he's integrated the works of John Ford, Howard Hawks, Anthony Mann and so on into his mythic vision of the West. And while his Italian perspective, which spawned the label "Spaghetti Western," gave these films a vaguely European sensibility, he largely connected with audiences the world over because he spoke fluently the language of cinema.

Leone might've been an articulate filmmaker, but he was far from loquacious. He only spoke when he had something to say. This is why, after the completion of "Duck, You Sucker...

To say that The Flash Season 7 Episode 2 was an emotional rollercoaster full of twists, humor, and emotion would be an understatement.

The episode started strong with a heartfelt scene to remember all the Wells. It only got more interesting as Barry and the rest of Team Flash dealt with his new power of speed thinking.

Everything about "The Speed of Thought" was classic The Flash, dating back to the glories of The Flash Season 1. If this is a picture of how the rest of The Flash Season 7 will play out, we are in for a treat.

Barry's heart has always been at the very core of the show. Barry Allen was not the Paragon of Love on the Crisis of Infinite Earths for nothing.

But with the death of Wells, Barry wondered whether or not his heart was a vulnerability that Team Flash's enemies used to their advantage.

A bittersweet truth of this pandemic, among many, is that the “quarantine album” has rapidly become its own genre. While the music industry as a whole has had to make do with recording albums remotely during lockdown for the past year, a distinct sonic concept for many of these releases has emerged: emotionally raw, the creation of one or a few people in a home studio, often described as “acoustic,” even as layers of synths and reverb contribute to the feelings of isolation.

Saoirse Ronan and Kate Winslet are both proven academy favorites with multiple nominations to their names. Both are now in another plausible Oscar contender, “Ammonite,” in which Winslet plays Mary Anning, a paleontologist who forms a brief but intense relationship with Ronan’s Charlotte Murchison. If both were to earn a nomination for “Ammonite,” it would be Ronan’s fifth and Winslet’s eighth, continuing their runs as some of the most nominated actresses of the 21st century. While Winslet already won her Oscar for 2008’s “The Reader,” Ronan has yet to take home the little gold man, but she might just be on the same path to victory as her co-star in the end.

Winslet earned Oscar nominations for “Sense and Sensibility” (1995), “Titanic” (1997), “Iris” (2001), “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” (2004) and “Little Children” (2006) before finally winning for “The Reader” (she was later nominated for 2015’s “Steve Jobs”). During the run-up to Winslet’s victory,...

Actors portraying feminist icon Gloria Steinem might be nominated in three categories at the upcoming Golden Globes. If that happens, it will be the first time that three actors are nominated in the same year for playing the same role.

SEEDear Golden Globes: Don’t drive a stake through the heart of ‘What We Do in the Shadows,’ nominate it instead

On the TV side, Rose Byrne plays Steinem in the FX on Hulu limited series “Mrs. America,” which chronicles the struggle for women’s rights between conservative Phyllis Schlafly (Cate Blanchett) and progressive feminists led by Steinem. On the film side, Oscar winners Alicia Vikander and Julianne Moore play Steinem at different stages of her life as she rises to prominence as a leader of the women’s liberation movement in Julie Taymor‘s biopic “The Glorias.”

It is not unprecedented for two actors from the same film to be nominated for one role.

Hayley Williams performed three songs from her solo album Petals for Armor live for the first time for the latest installment of NPR’s Tiny Desk (Home) Concert.

For the mini-set — recorded in Williams’ home — the Paramore singer played “Pure Love,” “Taken,” and “Dead Horse” alongside a band that included Becca Mancari and Julien Baker.

“I’ve never done this without Paramore,” Williams admits during the performance; Petals for Armor, written during a period of self-imposed isolation, arrived amid the coronavirus pandemic, preventing the singer from touring behind the LP.

Phoebe Bridgers and Phoebe Waller-Bridge have finally collaborated, with the Fleabag star directing the video for Bridgers’ “Savior Complex.”

In an interview with Rolling Stone last summer, Bridgers spoke of Waller-Bridge and their name similarity.

Netflix has given a platform to various voices in the Hollywood industry such as Alfonso Cuarón (“Roma”), Dee Rees (“Mudbound”), and most recently Martin Scorsese (“The Irishman”), in which filmmakers get to bring their distinct visions to life with the autonomy they wouldn’t be afforded at a traditional studio. As Oscars voters have become more accepting of the streaming giant’s offerings (see Laura Dern’s best supporting actress win for “Marriage Story”), it’s encouraging to see Netflix roll out the red carpet for Charlie Kaufman’s “I’m Thinking of Ending Things.” With critics weighing in with mostly positive reviews, Kaufman — who serves as the film’s writer, director and producer — along with his below-the-line team, could be an underdog contender in this year’s unusual awards race.

Since early promotion for Wonder Woman 1984, one look has captured everyone’s attention: Diana’s golden suit of armor, with its fantastical set of wings. The Gal Gadot incarnation of Wonder Woman has broken the grimdark doom-and-gloom black leather superhero look from her very first appearance in Batman v. Supermam: Dawn of Justice, and she’s only become more colorful and bright with each successive movie, including Wonder Woman 1984’s rainbow poster aesthetic that showed off the wing-less version of the armor.

Dubbed her Golden Eagle Armor, this look originated in the comics and it’s exciting to see it come to life on the big screen, especially the way Diana sheds the wings so fluidly. It’s the kind of move we often see depicted on the page but is hard to imagine translated to a grounded live-action depiction, but director Patty Jenkins and her team found a way that’s mysterious,...

After much speculation, tweeting, trolling, and gnashing of teeth, HBO Max’s version of Justice League, which may or may not have the title of Zack Snyder’s Justice League, got an official trailer. There’s plenty to deconstruct in it (see our analysis here), but one bright spot is the inclusion of Kiersey Clemons as Iris West.

In the trailer, Ezra Miller’s barefoot Barry Allen comes to the rescue Clemons’s Iris West as she lies in the street, presumably about to be hit by a car. Fans of the The Flash know the character Iris West as a reporter and Barry Allen’s love interest and eventual wife.

Clemons had previously been announced to play female lead Iris West in the Dceu’s The Flash solo movie, which has long been delayed but is finally(!) coming in June of 2022, now with two Batmen! Fans may know Clemons from Transparent,...

We now can see how The Flash‘s faux Iris covered her very early tracks, in a deleted scene from Season 6 of the CW series.

At the close of Season 6, Episode 10, the real Iris (played by Candice Patton) had a late-night epiphany — McCulloch Technologies’ room AV3 is Eva spelled backwards!

The Chinese version, with a drastically different headline and multiple translation errors, is one of many examples of how social justice — especially racial justice — movements are misconstrued among the Chinese audience.

The IndieWire interview, in which Nelson discussed the nuances and complexity of African American movements as well as the importance of black filmmakers telling their own stories, was placed under a Chinese headline: “The African American Director Who Knows Black People The Most, Does Not Approve This Movement” (最懂黑人的非裔导演，却不支持这场运动).

The title is both misleading and dangerous. Nelson, who built his career capturing African American experience, exposing and challenging structural racism, later went on PBS commending protestors’ efforts. The misinterpretation of Nelson’s reflection on the protests goes beyond the headlines.
