Jo Koy found out why hosting The Golden Globes is considered one of the least desirable gigs in Hollywood last night with a speed unrivaled even by Oppenheimer’s nuclear bomb (a film he may not have finished because it was too long). There’s no other way to say it: his monologue sucked. If you’ve been anywhere near…

If the SAG-AFTRA strike this past summer taught us anything, it’s that the reality of working as an actor is rarely as glamorous as one might imagine. Even so, it’s still pretty jarring to hear about actors having to fight for basic necessities like food and dressing rooms on the set of a major studio film, especially…

Once, if you knew the term “Gaylor” it was a sign that you spent way too much time online. Nowadays, the conspiracy that Taylor Swift is secretly gay has gone mainstream. The niche but persistent fan theory has breached containment before, but a recent New York Times op-ed has cemented the discourse in the paper of…

A whole lot of things went wrong for the Golden Globes Journalists last night. They messed up the seating chart. Comedian Jo Koy made a queasy bid for Worst Awards Show Host Of All Time. They scared the hell out of Elizabeth Debicki and even flubbed what should have been an easy ace with a hollow Suits reunion. On top…

If you had to guess, why do you think Jonathan Majors’ team declined to put him on the stand during his domestic trial but did put him on television before his sentencing? On ABC (a subsidiary of Disney, a company from which Majors was recently fired) there is no cross-examination; there is no swearing on the Bible (a…

Jodie Foster in her first major TV role is already Appointment Television. But Jodie Foster, with a badge, starring in the much-anticipated fourth installment of True Detective, as directed by one of horror’s freshest, freakiest minds? Well, that’s arguably the television event of the year.

It kind of goes without saying, but here we go anyway: Humphrey Bogart’s portrayal of Dashiell Hammett’s genre-defining private detective character Sam Spade in the 1941 noir classic The Maltese Falcon is one of the all-time great movie performances. Bogie’s brooding gumshoe is vulnerable and cynical at the same time,…

Welcome to 2024, which is—as far as we can figure—the most futuristic year encountered yet to date. And while there are plenty of reasons to be a bit anxious about this latest flip of the calendar (another horrifying national election in the United States, the cruel tyranny of the Leap Year Gods, etc.), we’ve decided…

Say what you will about the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (and plenty has already been said), but at least they knew how to put on a good show. This year’s revamped Golden Globes ceremony felt more disciplined than in years past, and less interesting. The speeches were short, there weren’t any video packages or…

Perhaps the biggest snub at tonight’s Golden Globes was a lack of recognition of 2023’s most watched and discussed series: Suits. While The Bear, Succession, and Beef took home gold for their 2023 input, Suits, the 2010s USA original series that, to be clear, is no longer in active production, went home empty-handed.…

It’s not easy being a star. From the fans to the paparazzi, one has to be camera-ready at all times; life in the public’s eye can imprison a celebrity in a stone cell of ego, fame, and expectation. The money and accolades can be a salve, but not for all wounds. They have to grin and bear it. When that red light turns…

What a long strange road it’s been. After years of controversies, a year off the air, and a year back on NBC (and Peacock), the Golden Globes have landed on CBS (and Paramount+) for 2024. Some very talented, beautiful people are trickling into the Beverly Hilton with the hope of, if not winning some awards, at least…

It’s been a minute since Ariana Grande last released a straight-up, “Here’s what I’ve been working on in the studio,” non-remix, collaboration, or Christmas song single—roughly 1.5 million minutes, in fact, since she was regularly releasing tracks off her sixth studio album Positions in 2020 and 2021. Now, though,…
