The 2021 Oscars Sunday had a different, more relaxed vibe compared with previous years. Play-off music didn't even interrupt the speeches and history was made, with Chloé Zhao becoming the second ever woman to win best director and the first woman of color to nab that award.

In the last 27 years, where all […]

Adam Wingard, director of Godzilla vs. Kong, is working on a ThunderCats film that will be a hybrid live action/CGI movie. Wingard will direct the ThunderCats movie and co-write the script with Simon Barrett. This raises a lot of […]
The only thing better than announcing "I am an actor" is being able to say, "I am a SAG Award-winning actor." During Sunday's 27th Annual Screen Actors Guild Awards, SAG-AFTRA minted a new class of winners during a reimagined awards ceremony. Honoring the best in film and television -- as well as stunt people in both -- this year's most-nominated TV series were The Crown and Schitt's Creek, while Chadwick […]

Jamie Foxx will play boxing great Mike Tyson in a new biographical limited series, Variety has learned. The series, titled simply “Tyson,” is not currently set up at a network or streaming service, but will no doubt find one quickly given the names attached to it already.
