But even if CBS somehow had the foresight to hire the outgoing nightly late-night titan (and soon-to-be weekly late-night host), then there would’ve been one less person of color featured in the Primetime Emmys’ spotlight — and this year’s show needed far more than it got. Early in Sunday night’s ceremony, fears of #EmmySoWhite started to percolate on social media, and by the time Cedric the Entertainer wrapped the three-plus hour show, not one person of color won any acting trophies....

Outside of the stray tweet from Best Supporting Actor – Motion Picture nominee Barry Keoghan, or Best Song – Motion Picture nominee Rihanna — ones that basically equate to emoji reactions — stars opted not to acknowledge the recognition they just received from the Golden Globes on Twitter, Instagram, etc. Instead, social media accounts for the projects bear the brunt of thank yous to the controversial awards body. — Rihanna (@rihanna) December 12, 2022...

Summer is supposed to be the season that lets you take it easy, but Apple knows how to keep its hooks in you because summer is also the season for one of Apple’s rare annual sales. It’s billed as Back to School, but we all know Apple cuts much deeper than that. Whatever your excuse — student, worker, gamer, couch potato — if you’re an Apple lover, this is a great time to cash in on deep discounts for things that you know you’re going to buy, anyway....

Less impressive is “Cruella,” which took in $1.4 million in a reported 3,892 theaters. That result comes as the live-action adaptation of “101 Dalmatians” is also now available for Disney+ subscribers for an additional $29.99 rental charge. “Cruella” preview results are much lower than “Maleficent” in 2014, which it opened the weekend after Memorial Day. That film, which grossed $69 million for the weekend, took in $4.2 million for its previews....

While Sorkin has spent the last several years directing his own scripts (see “Molly’s Game,” “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” and the upcoming “Being the Ricardos”), he’s more then eager to get back into the world of Facebook with David Fincher. When asked if he’ll return to letting other directors helm his screenplays, Sorkin responded, ” I am not done wanting to work with great directors, and Fincher would certainly be on the top of that list....

“Originally this thing was quite a dark, R-rated, vicious action piece, but we hammed it up and made it fun,” star Aaron Taylor-Johnson told HERO Magazine in conversation with Andrew Garfield. “I don’t know what happened, but it became a comedy!” “Bullet Train” stars Pitt, Taylor-Johnson, Brian Tyree Henry, Sandra Bullock, Joey King, Andrew Koji, Hiroyuki Sanada, Michael Shannon, Zazie Beetz, and Benito A Martínez Ocasio (aka Bad Bunny) in the ensemble cast....

Lead star Adam Scott joked during the February 17 episode of “The Late Show with Stephen Colbert” that it took years for the short-lived Starz series to reach cult classic status, if it ever (technically) did. “We finished 12 years ago, and our final episode had something like 13,000 viewers, so it was not yet a cult classic at the time,” Scott, who played cater-waiter Henry Pollard on the series, told Colbert....

The American Film Institute announced today the full lineup for this year’s AFI FEST, which includes Sony Pictures Classics’ “Parallel Mothers,” written and directed by Academy Award winner Pedro Almodóvar and starring the beloved Spanish auteur’s longtime muse Penélope Cruz. The film will receive a red carpet premiere at the historic TCL Chinese Theatre on Saturday, November 13. Jane Campion’s “The Power of the Dog” has also been added, and will screen at the TCL Chinese Theatre on Thursday, November 11....

That was the thesis statement linking many of the composed comments Baldwin made during the interview. Toward the end of the hour-long special, George Stephanopoulos asked the actor whether he felt guilt around Hutchins’ death. “No, no,” Baldwin answered. “I feel that, that someone is responsible for what happened and I can’t say who that is, but I know it’s not me. ” Baldwin’s sit-down was his first since the October 21 incident....

Renaming the singer Aline Dieu and playing the character herself (through, yes, every age), Lemercier grounds the larger-than-life diva with a down-home quirkiness that feels true to life, even if we don’t know how true it is. Surprisingly funny, well-acted, and a little offbeat, “Aline” is as delightfully kooky as its monumental subject. “Aline” begins its rags-to-riches tale in the Quebec countryside, where a working class young couple falls in love over their shared love of music....

“I certainly think a [‘GLOW’] movie could tie everything up,” said Brie. “Our creators, Liz Flahive and Carly Mensch, are incredible writers. And they’re so devoted to these characters that they created. I think a movie would be a great way to wrap it up. I’m a little pessimistic about it actually happening just in light of everything that’s gone on this year and how difficult it is to get anything back into production with COVID....

In an interview with Wired discussing her career and meme-spawning new film, “M3GAN,” the former “Girls” star candidly discusses her approach to press duties and how she handles being the daughter of former news anchor Brian Williams. “It doesn’t feel like a loss to admit it,” she said of being a working actor with famous parents. “If you trust your own skill, I think it becomes very simple to acknowledge....

“I thought we’d colored inside the lines. But I think if you’ve got a bunch of men and women in a boardroom talking about sexual behavior, maybe the men are going to be worried about what the women think,” Dominik said to Vulture. “It’s just a weird time. It’s not like depictions of happy sexuality. It’s depictions of situations that are ambiguous.” Ana de Armas stars as Norma Jeane in the adaptation of Joyce Carol Oates’ novel of the same name....

The actress faced stiff competition in the category, beating out Oscar winner Judi Dench for “Belfast,” Kirsten Dunst for “The Power of the Dog,” Jessie Buckley for “The Lost Daughter,” and Aunjanue Ellis for “King Richard.” Though DeBose is a relatively new name in Hollywood, her immense talent and rise to success is an important reminder that Hollywood loves a Cinderella story. The Broadway baby turned screen star is just the kind of fresh new talent that gets Oscars voters excited....

Why so cheerful? Top Films Are Ready to Go The Calendar Is Optimal Although the Oscar deadline to open was extended to February 28, films that open by December 31 qualify for the New York and Los Angeles Film Critics prizes that were critical for movies like “Parasite,” “Roma,” and “Moonlight.” A year-end opening also allows movies to enter their VOD windows many weeks before the Oscars. That’s a prime opportunity for post-nominations revenue....

Set in the fictional island of Inisherin during the very real Irish Civil War in 1923, Martin McDonagh’s “The Banshees of Inisherin” stars Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as two lifelong pals whose friendship is shattered after conflict arises. Barry Keoghan and Kerry Condon also star in the first feature written and directed by Oscar winner McDonagh set in his native Ireland. “The Banshees of Inisherin” premieres October 21 from Searchlight....

Halloween 2020 is going to look very different than years past, but there’s no rule against dressing up and staying home in your costume. (That’s what Instagram is for, isn’t it?) Here at IndieWire, we’ve put together a few incredibly easy-to-replicate Halloween costumes based on some of 2020’s biggest film and TV characters....

After spending the last year working from home and adjusting to pandemic restrictions, don’t be surprised if you see more people heading out on road trips in the coming months. And what better time to hit the road than during the summer? Road trips provide one of the safer (and, often, more scenic) routes of travel, and are certainly appealing if you’d like to bypass crowded airports and long ticket lines....

It’s a few days before the 2021 Oscars ceremony, and Crystal is promoting “Here Today,” a dramedy he co-wrote and stars in opposite Tiffany Haddish; it also represents the first time he’s directed a theatrical feature since “Forget Paris” in 1995. (Sony releases “Here Today” in theaters on May 7.) The last time Crystal hosted was when he stepped in after Eddie Murphy dropped out. (That was 2012, the year then-Oscars-producer Brett Ratner made a gay slur that forced him to exit stage left, Murphy followed of his own accord....

“Wakanda Forever” now has a 10-day domestic total of $288 million ($546 million worldwide), which is excellent by any measure. The film is likely to remain #1 through the Thanksgiving holiday and play through Christmas. If there is a caveat, it is that the hold was not close to “Black Panther” in 2018, which dropped only 45 percent. Both openings were aided by holidays — the first one opened with President’s Day boosting its first Sunday, while Veteran’s Day helped opening day for “Wakanda....
