Last Year’s Winner: Julia Garner, “Ozark” Still Eligible: Yes. Hot Streak: There hasn’t been a repeat winner in the past five years, and four different networks were represented in the Best Supporting Actress (Drama) category during that time. (Netflix won twice.) The last back-to-back champ was Anna Gunn for “Breaking Bad” in 2013 and 2014. Before her, Blythe Danner was the last consecutive winner back in 2005 and 2006 for Showtime’s “Huff....

While several films from the festival have yet to secure distribution, the ones with the most support in our survey found it over the past two weeks, suggesting that buyers and critics saw eye to eye this year. “Cha Cha Real Smooth,” the sophomore effort from 24-year-old filmmaker Cooper Raiff, dominated the survey in the categories of Best Film, Best Director, and Best Screenplay. The movie marks Raiff’s second in two years, following his 2020 debut “Shithouse,” which won the Grand Jury Prize at SXSW....

Coined by the film historian and critic B. Ruby Rich in 1992 to give voice to the explosion in queer film she was witnessing on the burgeoning film festival circuit, the New Queer Cinema’s influence on independent film cannot be overstated. The ‘80s saw films like Jim Jarmusch’s “Stranger Than Paradise” and Steven Soderbergh’s “Sex, Lies, and Videotape” explode the idea of what film could be, in turn inspiring a new generation of radical queer filmmakers to pick up the camera and crack the whole thing wide open....

“What resonated was the layering of the characters,” Kelley said on Wednesday during ABC’s virtual upfront presentation on the series. “The authenticity and sense of place that he [Box] brought to Montana” forced Kelley to incorporate all the elements the book did. “It was a great ride, a great journey,” he said. After working with HBO on the much-heralded “Big Little Lies,” “I was not anxious to get back into the broadcast world,” Kelley said, due to the commercial breaks....

These days, however, McKay envisions “Don’t Look Up” for an audience of one. “My sweaty fever dream of a situation,” McKay said over Zoom last week, “would be Joe Manchin sitting down with his family, thinking, ‘Let’s watch this, it’s supposed to be a comedy, my kids like Leonardo DiCaprio, my grandkids like Ariana Grande.’ And then that ending comes. My dream would be that for one second, Joe Manchin feels it in his bones....

In a new interview with the Sunday Times (via Yahoo), Brody reminisced about his 2003 Oscar win for his performance in “The Pianist.” That year, the Academy Awards were held on March 23, just four days after the United States began its invasion of Iraq. With much of Hollywood uniformly opposed to the war, the invasion cast a shadow that loomed over the entire ceremony. But it was almost much more prominent, as Brody revealed that Nicholson attempted to organize a boycott of the show....

Moore told GQ that, in a letter to him ahead of the production, the series creator admitted to “destroying” the original comic to bring it onscreen for the second time, following the 2009 Zack Synder film. Damon Lindelof was the showrunner for the HBO series. Moore said he received “a frank letter from the showrunner of the ‘Watchmen’ television adaptation, which I hadn’t heard was a thing at that point....

In a recent Skype interview, Jodorowsky explained his technique, how he believes cinema can evolve for the better in spite of the pandemic, and even offered this writer his own “psychomagic” homework to try on my own. Jodorowsky’s partner Pascale Montandon, a costume designer who also collaborates on his movies, provided some translation assistance. Our discussion also included earlier thoughts on Denis Villeneuve’s adaptation of “Dune,” a project Jodorowsky famously tried and failed to put together in the 1970s (featured here)....

Alexis Haines, née Neiers, slammed Coppola’s 2013 film starring Emma Watson as Nikki, a character loosely based on herself. “That’s the thing that’s so frustrating when you have someone that’s as brilliant as Sofia Coppola and as wonderful an actor as Emma Watson working on a movie together,” Haines told Entertainment Weekly. “You have this opportunity to do something really great and to dig deeper and to look at the complexities, but it’s just lazy....

While Vikander “can’t really say” much about Green’s update on Croft, the film will no doubt pick up after the events of the 2018 film helmed by Roar Uthaug and detailing Croft’s origin story inspired by her father (Dominic West) and his quest for an ancient Japanese statue. As for Green’s interpretation, Vikander hinted, “I’ve been excited to show the world.

“When we were making the film, it was such a learning experience,” Redmayne’s co-star Alicia Vikander told Insider in an interview this month while promoting her role in David Lowery’s recently released “The Green Knight.” “I think Eddie did a wonderful job in the role,” she said. “I totally understand the criticism that has been out there, because we need to make change and we need to make sure that trans men and women actually get a foot in and get work,” continued Vikander, who won the Oscar for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the film as Elbe’s partner, Gerda Wegener....

Garfield, who has received career-best reviews for his performance in “Tick Tick Boom,” is spending most of his time these days talking about his other 2021 release. No, not “The Eyes of Tammy Faye,” in which he played Jm Bakker. But his top-secret appearance in “Spider-Man: No Way Home,” in which he and Tobey Maguire reprised their roles as Peter Parker alongside current Spidey Tom Holland. And though he’s now able to talk freely about his performance in the blockbuster, he had to do some fancy verbal footwork during his previous press tours....

Two years after Garfield’s breakout turn in “The Social Network,” the actor played Peter Parker in the 2012 franchise reboot. Garfield was 26 and determined to balance theatre roles with the superhero part. “I’m like, ‘Fuck, that was a lot to take on. It’s a shit ton to take on,’” Garfield recalled to British GQ. “And I wanted to take it on. I was ready. I was so up for it....

The actress is best known for “Murder, She Wrote,” but started her career in 1944 and has delighted generations of fans with nearly 150 credits. That includes everything ranging from voice-over performances to musicals and dramas. Lansbury was able to be anything an audience needed, from a warmhearted mother to a vicious villain.

In September 2016, days prior to filing for their split, Jolie alleged that Oscar winner Pitt had a physical and verbal outburst directed toward herself and their children during a private plane flight from France to California. Per the legal filing, as reported by The New York Times, Pitt allegedly “choked one of the children and struck another in the face” and “grabbed Jolie by the head and shook her” after Pitt accused Jolie of being “too deferential” to their children....

Still untitled and lacking in any plot details, David O. Russell’s first film since 2015’s “Joy” is based on his own original idea, with filming currently underway in California. New Regency’s Arnon Milchan is set to produce with Matthew Budman and Anthony Katagas. This is quite a cast for Russell, whose many Oscar-nominated films are known for their big ensembles. He personally has five Oscar nominations under his belt, including two in 2014 for Best Directing for “American Hustle” and Best Original Screenplay, shared with Eric Warren Singer for that film; Best Director for “Silver Linings Playbook” in 2013 and Best Adapted Screenplay; and Best Director for “The Fighter” in 2011....

Appearing on the MacTaggart Legacy panel at the Edinburgh International TV Festival (via The Independent), Iannucci explained why he thinks the debate around “wokeness” is ridiculous. He believes that the word “woke” has lost all meaning and is being gratuitously used by politicians to describe minor pop culture changes that they don’t like. “My worry is that there is now this word, ‘woke’, that the government has weaponized to try and stop all that,” Iannucci said....
