As the 98th Academy Awards approach on March 16, 2025, movie fans are starting to worry about whether their favorite films will win. It’s happened before – many highly-nominated movies, including acclaimed films like The Color Purple, have gone home empty-handed. However, one scene in Sinners – an incredibly striking and memorable montage – clearly demonstrates why it deserves to win Best Picture.
Harry Styles seemingly stole the show from Ryan Gosling during last night’s Saturday Night Live. Styles, who is hosting next week, showed up during Gosling’s monologue, claiming he wanted to get a feel for the show. However, one of the cameras appeared to be intentionally focused on Styles instead of Gosling, and the control room … Read more
Like shows such as Gangs of London, This City is Ours has a distinctly British feel. It’s also been favorably compared to Peaky Blinders, another crime drama – though that one is set in Birmingham instead of Liverpool. Considering how brilliantly acted, directed, and written the best episodes of Peaky Blinders are, this is high praise, and This City is Ours truly earns it.
It all began with a bold claim by Logan Paul on Twitter – he stated he could win in a boxing match against any NFL player and offered a $1 million bet to anyone who would challenge him.
From the beginning, the high price tag for the film The Bride! seemed questionable, considering its unusual story: Jessie Buckley plays a woman brought back to life to be a companion for Frankenstein’s monster in 1930s Chicago. The pair then embark on a cross-country adventure reminiscent of Bonnie and Clyde, sparking a feminist movement along the way – and there are even musical numbers! The film is directed by Maggie Gyllenhaal, known for her acting roles in films like Secretary and The Dark Knight. This is her second feature film after the critically acclaimed The Lost Daughter (2021). While The Lost Daughter was a smaller, intimate film that didn’t perform hugely at the box office, it also cost much less to make and was released on Netflix in the US, which doesn’t prioritize theatrical releases. Warner Bros. is facing potentially significant losses with The Bride!, which has received mixed reviews. Critics generally agree the film is ambitious and daring, but they’re divided on whether its ideas truly succeed.
Even talented newcomer Ashley Padilla couldn’t handle the comedic pressure of this latest Saturday Night Live sketch. The show has created a bit that’s designed to make performers crack up, and it’s crucial to keep it out of the wrong hands. The setup is simple: teens pass notes in class, which the teacher (Padilla) and … Read more
Ryan Gosling hosted Saturday Night Live for the fourth time, and he immediately used his opening monologue to build excitement for next week’s show with Harry Styles. Styles even appeared briefly during the monologue, sitting in the audience and playfully unnerving Gosling with his calm demeanor. While the bit was amusing – especially the repeated cutaways to Styles nodding along to Gosling’s slightly shaky performance – it meant the monologue didn’t really focus on Gosling himself. There was a quick mention of his movie Project Hail Mary, but otherwise, the monologue felt like it could have happened on any week leading up to a Harry Styles-hosted episode.
![A model exhibits self-attribution bias by retrospectively undervaluing the risk associated with actions it has already performed, assigning a lower risk score to a completed action than when initially evaluating the same action in a hypothetical context-an effect amplified when the model both generates and assesses the risk of that action, demonstrating a form of post-hoc rationalization rather than consistent risk assessment-as if [latex]P(risk | action, model\_generated) < P(risk | action)[/latex].](https://arxiv.org/html/2603.04582v1/2603.04582v1/figures/figure1/figure1_final.png)
New research reveals that language models demonstrate a surprising bias, consistently rating their own outputs more favorably than those produced by others.
The new Marathon, released in 2026, takes its name and some story elements from Bungie’s original Marathon trilogy from the 1990s. However, it’s a very different game. Unlike the slower, exploration-focused gameplay of the originals—which were similar to Doom—the new Marathon is a fast-paced, multiplayer game that combines player-versus-player and player-versus-environment combat.
The two-part premiere of Scrubs hinted at a major storyline change but quickly moved on, which felt dismissive given its importance. However, the third episode, “My Rom-Com,” finally gives this change the focus it needed. While not fully resolving the situation, the episode promises answers and sets the stage for the rest of the Scrubs revival.
