Golden Globes Film Predictions Bold Picks In Every Category

So who knows what mood the HFPA are in? The group of aging foreign correspondents, none of whom are Black, has also been deservedly criticized for being tone deaf and not inclusive — several 2021 categories are glaringly white, including Best Motion Picture Drama, Comedy/Musical Actress, and Supporting Actress. That’s one reason voters will likely try to avoid the catastrophe of #GoldenGlobesSoWhite. They came close last year, when Awkwafina (“The Farewell”) marked the single person of color to win a top film award, for Musical/Comedy Best Actress....

Happily Review A Comedy About The Dark Secrets Behind Perfect Couples

On the other hand, we tend to be wary of happiness when it stays. Personal experience demands a certain level of distrust for anything that doesn’t sour. Butter might go bad after a month or two, but there’s a reason why people are suspicious of margarine. There’s a reason why nobody wants to sit next to that guy who’s smiling to himself on the subway. There’s a reason why Tom (Joel McHale) and Janet (Kerry Bishé) — a cartoonishly attractive married couple whose honeymoon phase has just entered its 14th year — make everyone else in their Los Angeles friend group so uncomfortable....

Here Before Review Andrea Riseborough In Undercooked Thriller

Set in an anonymous Northern Ireland suburb, “Here Before” initially delights in the disconcerting, run through with curiously dark undercurrents, before giving way to too-common answers. Laura (Riseborough) and her family endured a terrible tragedy many years before, but they’re not really thinking about their lost daughter Josie when a new clan moves in next door, complete with the precocious Megan (Niamh Dornan). Megan is cute and sweet, and she gravitates straight toward Laura, much to the chagrin of her mother (Eileen O’Higgins) and somewhat gruff stepdad (Martin McCann)....

Jessica Chastain Has Special Independence Day Message For Scotus

The Oscar winner flashed the bird in a special Fourth of July Twitter post following the Supreme Court’s overturn of landmark women’s reproductive health case Roe v. Wade, which was upended after almost 50 years since the 1973 ruling.

“I wish I knew I was gonna do,” Kimmel said on Variety’s Awards Circuit Podcast. “I have moments where I go, ‘I cannot do this anymore.’ And I have moments where I go, ‘What am I gonna do with my life if I’m not doing this anymore?’ It’s a very complicated thing.

Multiple clips of it on YouTube have hundreds of thousands of views each. It’s become one of the defining moments for the character. It also means a lot to its director. “That still holds up as one of my favorite things I’ve ever, ever been involved in as a director,” Jonathan Frakes said....
