contrastingly to my surprise last year when I donned an eccentric Louis Vuitton ensemble that threatened to burst at any moment – a choice that ultimately earned me the Best Actress accolade for “Poor Things” – this year, I find myself bracing for the presentation of the Best Actor award. It was unexpected last year, as all were anticipating Lily Gladstone’s victory for “Killers of the Flower Moon”, and it feels a bit disheartening to be stepping into the limelight once more. Alas!

It appears that being let go from Saturday Night Live in 2019 over some old podcast clips has proven beneficial for Gillis, as he now boasts a dedicated fanbase, a successful podcast, and a flourishing career among individuals who frequently use the bald eagle emoji and have questionable browsing habits. Lorne Michaels shared with The Wall Street Journal last October that he was upset when NBC executives decided to terminate Gillis, suggesting that his feelings may still be similar given Gillis’s return as a host within two years. I must admit, it is quite remarkable to part ways from a job without much fanfare and then be warmly received in such a resounding manner. When I resigned from my fact-checker position at this publication, my supervisor simply said, “No problem.

Safdie’s admiration for the movie “Flow” isn’t rooted in any particular technical prowess or groundbreaking ideas from director Gints Zilbalodis; rather, he considers it one of his all-time favorites due to its simple narrative and stunning visuals. However, when presenting Zilbalodis with his New York Film Critics Circle Award for Best Animated Film, Safdie expressed that the true pleasure of watching “Flow” was experiencing it alongside his sons, Cosmo (age 9) and Murray (age 5), who were equally captivated by the film.

In the second episode of “1923” season 2 titled “The Rapist is Winter,” we get a succinct insight into the Dutton family’s perspective. They view every challenging ideology, corrupted institution, destructive act of nature, and harmful human action that disrupts their lifestyle as an unwelcome intruder or oppressor – except for the Native Americans who they themselves have helped to disempower. The Duttons seem to be perpetual victims of a world in constant flux and unforgiving seasons.

How did creating Barbie’s Doll Race as a teenager influence your understanding of what constitutes an engaging Drag Race narrative?

What insights about constructing a compelling Drag Race storyline did you gain from producing Barbie’s Doll Race during your teenage years?

Prepare yourselves, trainers! You’re about to face your toughest challenge yet: choosing between a mojito, margarita, or lemonade (if you happen to be near the vending machine). “Pokémon Concierge,” an animated series starring Haru (Karen Fukuhara for the English version) and her Psyduck, is back for its second season in September 2025. It’s quite peculiar … Read more

In essence, I’m in favor of incorporating advanced sewing tasks into the competition. This ensures that participants can’t simply buy their way to success by hiring designers or learning one pattern. Instead, it allows us to evaluate the girls based on both their design skills and personal taste. Previous instances of these challenges have demonstrated their ability to act as a “weed-out” factor (eliminator), while this week’s challenge showcased its potential for storytelling, highlighting the top performers.

The show The Baldwins delves into the dual sorrow experienced by the family, particularly focusing on how the Rust tragedy affected Alec personally and its ongoing effects on the rest of the family. While Alec’s OCD is briefly addressed in the first episode, the series offers a poignant portrayal of his post-traumatic stress disorder and subsequent depression. This makes for emotional, if not somber, viewing. The show presents an unusual yet compelling examination of grief, as it portrays Alec’s apparent inability to escape the burden of his past actions, despite their unintentional nature. In the series, Alec appears haunted, with bags under his eyes and moving through his Hamptons home like a ghost. In today’s television landscape saturated with true crime and common cases, it’s unusual to encounter a portrayal of someone dealing with their role in an accidental death. When Hilaria speaks tearfully about Alec expressing suicidal thoughts in the days following the shooting, her pain feels as raw and intense as it did three years ago.

Year after year, I analyze and compare about 50 movies spanning a variety of themes, target audiences, and overall atmospheres. These are like apples, oranges, bananas, and pomegranates (with a single special fig), but despite their differences, I have determined their ranking in terms of quality. Now, let me shuffle the middle section of this list one more time before we delve into it.
