From Ryan Gosling’s showstopping “I’m Just Ken” to teamsters, upsets and a butt-naked John Cena — the highs, lows and WTF whoas that was this year’s Academy Awards We came, we saw, we sat there dumbstruck as Ryan Gosling gave the Oscars one hot-pink, high-Kenergy musical number and John Cena almost showed us his naked butt. The 96th Academy Awards gave us highs, lows, several long-overdue wins (Robert Downey Jr.! Wes Anderson! Christopher Freakin’ Nolan!!), Lily Gladstone making history and a lovely, if predictable round of victories for the juggernaut that was Oppenheimer. We also witnessed some truly WTF bits,…

Heading into the 2024 Academy Awards, a pair of Barbie tracks were favorites to win Best Original Song: Billie Eilish’s ballad “What Was I Made For?” — which took home the same award at the Golden Globes and Grammys earlier this year — and the Ryan Gosling-sung anthem “I’m Just Ken,” which recently won the Best Song at the Critics Choice Awards. On Oscars night, it was Eilish who won the award, making her the youngest two-time Oscar winner. “I had a nightmare about this last night,” Eilish said, clearly flustered as she accepted the award. “I just didn’t think…
Photography by Getty Images Margot Robbie ditched her Barbie looks for classic black, while other stars had fun with colour and texture — like America Ferrera in pink chainmail Versace and Emma Stone in a mint green jacquard Louis Vuitton gown. By Jennifer Berry Date March 10, 2024 Anyone else feel like awards season has been 1,713 days long? (Not complaining, though — nothing takes the winter chill off like Margot Robbie continuing to cosplay as Barbie or Barry Keoghan in a dandy suit.) The culmination of awards season is, naturally, the Academy Awards and while the nominations were a…
And the 2024 Oscar goes to… Oppenheimer, which took home the Best Picture prize at the Academy Awards on March 10. (Check out the full list of winners here.) The J. Robert Oppenheimer biopic—which stars Cillian Murphy, Robert Downey Jr., Emily Blunt, Matt Damon and Florence Pugh—beat out nominees American Fiction, Anatomy of a Fall, Barbie, The Holdovers, Killers of the Flower Moon, Maestro, Past Lives, Poor Things and The Zone of Interest for the honor. The victory came after director Christopher Nolan won his first-ever Best Director Oscar, as well as RDJ nabbing the Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role prize. “Any of us who make movies know that you kind of dream of this moment,” Oppenheimer…
The attention-grabbing opening scene in writer/director Benjamin Finkel’s Family effectively establishes the film’s peculiar, esoteric, yet bone-chilling tone. Evoking Relic or Ari Aster’s Hereditary, the cold open sees preteen protagonist Johanna (Cameron Dawson Gray) banging on the locked doors of a synagogue, pleading to be let in, only for her mother, Naomi (Ruth Wilson), to stalk across the lawn, drag her out into it, then stab her. Without any explanation or context, Family cuts to a less volatile time, unfurling a strange, unwieldy slice of arthouse horror that’s heightened by Finkel’s knack for viscerally disturbing horror and imagery. The eleven-year-old Johanna, an only child homeschooled by…
Since its release last year, Barbie has painted the world pink, rapidly ascending to become one of the best movies of 2023, a box office sensation, and snagging a ton of 2024 Oscar nominations. The film’s remarkable success has rewarded Margot Robbie with an insane payday, which makes sense considering that the actress led the stellar cast and produced the movie. According to sources close to the star, the Once Upon a Time in Hollywood star earned approximately $50 million in salary and box office bonuses. With such a substantial sum at her disposal, the conversation naturally turned to how…

Writer/Director Damian Mc Carthy‘s sophomore effort, Oddity, serves as a welcome extension of his feature debut, Caveat, in many ways. Aside from the brief return of at least one familiar face and a nightmare bunny, Oddity continues the filmmaker’s exploration of supernatural karma and retribution with offbeat characters and a unique vision for scares. Armed with a tighter narrative, a lighter tone, and a creepy mannequin, Mc Carthy further establishes his horror style. Oddity begins with an intense scenario that sees a woman, Dani (You Are Not My Mother’s Carolyn Bracken), forced to decide whether to trust the desperate stranger at her door, insisting someone snuck into…

“That was honestly some of the worst acting I’ve ever seen, and I’ve seen me,” Colin Jost joked Saturday Night Live‘s Weekend Update took aim at Donald Trump‘s verbal blunders and the GOP’s State of the Union rebuttal by Alabama Senator Katie Britt. Reacting to how Trump had criticized President Joe Biden’s address to Congress Thursday, writing on Truth Social that “the words are not flowing smoothly out of his mouth,” co-anchor Colin Jost said in jest that “we can’t all speak with the effortless grace as Donald J. Trump.” A clip then played of the former president having trouble…
