Jamie Lee Curtis has clinched her first Emmy win, in the Guest Actress in a Comedy Series category, for her work in FX’s The Bear Season 2’s acclaimed episode, “Fishes” — and she feels like the “luckiest girl in the world.”

Her success at the awards show comes after her first Academy Award win this year, for Best Supporting Actress for her performance in the buzzy Everything Everywhere All At Once.

“I’ve been an actor since I was 19,” she told Deadline at night two of the Creative Arts Emmys. “I’m 65. I sold yogurt that makes you sh– for seven years. I just never thought in my life that I would get to do work at this level of depth and complexity. It’s just been the thrill of my creative life these last couple of years.”

If you’ve missed MCU drama in the last couple of days, you’re probably unaware that Jamie Lee Curtis has publically thrown shade at the MCU by calling the entirety of Phase 5 “bad.”

The comment was more hilarious than anything, when the actress was asked during Sdcc in which phase the MCU is currently in, the actress responded with “bad.”

Despite the obvious joke behind it, it managed to generate quite a backlash among fans. Many fans came to the defense of the MCU calling the actress “bitter,” “salty,” and “rude.”

Curtis already has some “strained” history with the franchise. In the past, she has commented on ‘Doctor Strange in the Multiverse of Madness’ and drew some parallels with her own ‘Everything Everywhere All At Once.’ This implies that MoM ripped off some aspects of the movie.

She noted that both films explore the multiverse concept. Curtis accused ‘Doctor Strange...

At first, I was shocked by the news that Participant Media was dying. Such an appealing company. Smart. Mindful. Vibrant. Forward-thinking. The producer of intelligent films like Spotlight and Green Book, with a distinctly progressive message.

How could this be?

Then it finally hit me. Whatever else may have happened—announcing the shutdown, proprietor Jeff Skoll cited “revolutionary” changes in the entertainment business—Participant went under, I believe, because most of high-end Hollywood jumped into the company’s basically sound but modestly sized boat. The purpose-film niche was swamped.

It’s almost hard to remember that 20 years ago, when Participant was founded, the notion of a self-consciously message-oriented, activist film company was actually novel.

But, cinematically speaking, it was a much different world in 2004. The top movie that year was Shrek 2—not much message there. Culturally, the big story was a religious film, The Passion of the Christ. That hasn’t happened since.

BBC Studios has announced the titles coming to BritBox in May 2024, which include everything from new BritBox Originals to classic British fare. BritBox is a digital video subscription service offering the largest collection of British TV in the U.S. and Canada.

Can you use the Film Independent Spirit Awards to predict the Oscars? That's a risky endeavour, but when you consider that last year's Indie Spirit Best Feature Everything Everywhere All At Once went on to win big at the Oscars, hopes are certainly higher for Celine Song's Past Lives' Best Picture chances come 10 March.

Song also picked up Best Director for her emotional tale of reconnection and regret, While Av Rockwell took Best First Feature for A Thousand And One and Co-writer/director Babak Jalali won the John Cassavetes Award for best feature made for under $1 million for Fremont.

The Holdovers took home the most film gongs, nabbing Best Cinematography for Eigil Bryld, a welcome Best Breakthrough Performance for Dominic Sessa and in what should probably this year be renamed the Da’Vine Joy Randolph Award, she won her latest trophy: Best Supporting Performance.

How To Blow Up A Pipeline...

The Sundance Film Festival 2024 brought two fascinating projects surrounding the concept of artificial intelligence.

The first is an ambitious love story set at the end of the world involving two unlikely machines.

The second is a documentary called Eternal You, which examines the merits of bringing dead people back to life using AI.

Both films are captivating for different reasons, and each has something compelling to say about “artificiality.”

Not to mention, one of these might end up being our favorite from Sundance 2024.

Here are our reviews of Love Me and Eternal You from the Sundance Film Festival.

Love Me

Love Me is a film critic’s catnip. There are robots, humor, romance, a dystopia, and a narrative with layers of themes and ideas to decipher.

The film, directed by Sam & Andy Zuchero, is an audacious feature film debut, taking a simplistic concept and making it feel as vast as the movie’s billion-year timeline.

Holiday lights are coming down. From every street corner, Christmas trees lie in abandoned disarray. Right now, you’re probably swearing you’ll never touch a glass of champagne again. Yes, 2023 is well and over, and with that passing comes a chance to turn the page toward what will hopefully be a brighter, sunnier 2024.

And yet, for a certain breed of movie lover, film buff, cinephile, and/or unapologetic red carpet fashion-watcher, there remains one last ritual left unaccounted for from 2023: the culmination of awards season. When the 96th annual Academy Awards announce the Oscar winners from the year that was, it will be nearly mid-March and the final denouement of a monthslong marathon that begins for viewers at home this weekend, with the Golden Globes seemingly succeeding at rehabilitating their image ahead of a Sunday, Jan. 7 ceremony. Shortly thereafter will be the Critics Choice Awards, then the guilds’ choices,...

While the divisive Thor: Love and Thunder explored a new arc of the Thunder God trying to find meaning and purpose in his position within the universe, the new season of Loki will also give us a new personal journey for the God of Mischief. Disney released the trailer for season 2 two weeks ago. Now, Marvel Studios gives audiences a look behind the scenes with the new featurette. This year’s Ant-Man and the Wasp: Quantumania featured a post-credits sequence showing a variant of Kang the Conqueror putting on a Tesla-esque display in an early 1900s-era setting. The scene looked to serve as a teaser for what’s to come as clips show this season expanding on that moment.

In the new behind-the-scenes video, Tom Hiddleston talks about how this season is all about Loki learning more about himself. The movies have always shown that beneath his villainous exterior,...

Workplace comedies give audiences some of the most relatable laughs that mirror their everyday lives.

When Everything Everywhere All At Once burst into the multiverse, it rocked our cinematic world like never before. Not only did Michelle Yeoh become the first Asian woman to win Best Actress at the Academy Awards, Eeaao captured six other Oscars including Best Picture, and both Best Supporting Actor and Actress. Beyond that, Eeaao collectively earned over 300 honors and nominations from film festivals all over the world.

Hot on heels of the Eeaao victory lap, Disney+ announced the debut of American Born Chinese, a miniseries based on a celebrated graphic novel created by Gene Luen Yang in 2006. Yang is an executive producer of this television adaptation. His original graphic novel won tons of accolades including the 2007 Eisner Award and Best Comic of the Year from Publishers Weekly, Time, Amazon, and others. A pioneering exploration of the Asian American experience, American Born Chinese is even used as a teaching aid in schools to this day.

SeriesFest Season 9 unveiled its list of winners in the independent pilot competition at a ceremony in Denver on Wed, May 10. Jurors screened 55 pilots from creative voices around the globe at this year’s iteration of the television festival.

“The independent pilot competitions are at the heart of our mission. It is why we founded SeriesFest,” said Randi Kleiner, CEO and Co-Founder of SeriesFest. “It was to be a discovery platform for independent artists and give them the opportunity to get their voices heard, their projects seen by an audience and executives, and make new connections. Anyone who has made a pilot deserves to be honored.”

At the awards ceremony, SeriesFest also announced the winners for two initiatives including the Level Forward Impact Award (which went to Sarah Klein and Tom Mason) and Caz Matthews Fund. The Level Forward Impact Award, given to the episodic pilot and team who demonstrate, on...

A Freaky Friday sequel is officially in the works at Disney with both Lindsay Lohan and Jamie Lee Curtis set to return, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

No plot details for the film have been shared, but Elyse Hollander is writing the script. Released in 2003, Freaky Friday was already a remake; it originated as a Mary Rodgers novel in 1972, and its first film adaptation followed in 1976. But the Lohan-Curtis version — written by Heather Hach and Leslie Dixon and directed by Mark Waters — has become a fan favorite thanks to, among many other things, Lohan’s punky Anna, her band Pink Slip, and an incredible scene in which Curtis and Chad Michael Murray sing Britney Spears’ “…Baby One More Time.” It grossed over $160 million worldwide.

Lohan and Curtis have long been willing to reprise their roles in the film, which sees a mother and daughter switch bodies and learn to accept their differences.

“They fuck you up, your mum and dad

They may not mean to, but they do

They fill you with the faults they had

And add some extra, just for you.”

-“This Be the Verse,” Philip Larkin

Beginning with the thesis statement “does anything really last,” Ian Chaney’s obsessive inquiry The Arc of Oblivion wonders if the act of archiving is really a folly. This leads to exploring natural methods of archiving around us, from limestone layers to synthesizing digital data into DNA. Chaney starts with a problem facing indie filmmakers and obsessive autobiographers: hard drives and digital video fail easily. Although not explored by Chaney, master filmmakers like Martin Scorsese insist on making physical 35mm prints of films they shot digitally and storing them in salt mines rather than on corruptible servers or digital physical media.

A sweeping, often playful odyssey, The Arc of Oblivion seeks out expert help in exploring the nature of archiving, including the gatekeepers who decide what is important to keep record of. Haunted by the spirit of lost footage he filmed one evening while on his parents’ farm––while he...

Several days ago it was reported that Everything Everywhere All at Once directors The Daniels (Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert) would helm at least one episode of the Star Wars: Skeleton Crew TV series. I thought that was fun news, but clearly some didn’t as they accused the directing duo of selling out.

Daniel Kwan took to his Instagram Story (via Entertainment Weekly) to address the backlash and explained that they’re only directing one episode of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew. “Lol, all of the people @ing us about getting sucked up by the ‘corporate machine’ can chill. These headlines are always misleading,” Kwan wrote. “Don’t worry. We aren’t working on a whole series, we guest directed one episode. Jon Watts approached us to do an episode a while ago (before Eeaao even came out). We love Jon, love Star Wars, love learning new tech, we love meeting new cast and crew,...

Going to Disneyland may be a perfectly acceptable way for football players to celebrate a big win, but eyebrows raise when film directors say the same thing. At least that’s a takeaway from the internet’s response to the news that Everything Everywhere All at Once directors Daniels are following their Oscar triumph by working for Disney. The filmmaking duo, consisting of Daniel Kwan and Daniel Scheinert, this week announced that they would be directing an episode of Star Wars: Skeleton Crew, the upcoming series starring Jude Law and created by Spider-Man: No Way Home director John Watts.

The internet responded exactly how you’d expect the internet to respond. Sure, there were some people very excited about the duo bringing their imaginative approach to a Star Wars series about which we know very little. But many others expressed dismay over Daniels’ decision. We don’t want to call...

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 introduced its biggest cast in the herstory of the show. It’s always sad to see a queen’s future in the competition get the axe, but the judging doesn’t always gel with the fandom and the contestants. RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15’s Salina EsTitties publicly addressed her feelings toward rotating judge Ross Matthews and his fashion critiques.

RuPaul’s Drag Race Season 15 Episode 12 introduced a Footloose-inspired Rusical titled “Wigloose: The Rusical.” The queens had to decide amongst themselves who would perform which role. Luxx Noir London and Loosey Laduca fought over the lead role of Heaven Bacon, which ultimately went to the latter.

Meanwhile, Salina allowed Luxx to take the role of Christian, leaving her with Tuck. They bounced energy off one another expertly, contributing to making a wildly successful Rusical.

Can a festival have swagger? Because it felt like SXSW was swaggering in 2023. This should not be a total surprise for a weeklong conference that’s an intersection between film, television, music, gaming, technology, and arguably innovation itself. As per one industry insider, SXSW has long been perceived as “the cool kids festival.” Nonetheless, one year and a day after Everything Everywhere All at Once premiered on SXSW’s opening night, that film went on to win a staggering seven Oscars on the same weekend as the 2023 festival.

And after last Sunday, excitement and a sense of vindication floated in the air around every movie theater in Austin. Somehow this fest was coming even more into its own with its first Best Picture win, and that truth appears reflected in the eclectic mix of films and television series that showed up the year Everything Everywhere came to town. From oddball...

But as you can see in our exclusive new image from Across The Spider-Verse above, they’re quite literally hanging out again.

Hollywood – In an emotional and sweeping night at the 95th Oscars, “Everything Everywhere All at Once” was everything and everywhere. The film won Best Picture, Best Actress (Michelle Yeoh), Best Supporting Actor/Actress (Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis) and Best Directors and Original Screenplay for Dan Kwan and Daniel Scheinert (The Daniels).

The highlights were the speeches, especially Quan and Curtis. Quan was a forgotten child actor who believed in a comeback and achieved it to the highest platform, and his emotional speech seemingly captured all of it. Jamie Lee Curtis, daughter of Hollywood legends Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh, acknowledged that parentage in a memorable “we won the Oscars” speech. In all, after the year of the infamous “slap,” the Oscars came off … as host Jimmy Kimmel quipped … “without a hitch, and without Hitch.”

When Harrison Ford announced Everything Everywhere All At Once as this year’s Oscars Best Picture winner, its star Ke Huy Quan rushed to the stage and immediately leapt into the actor’s arms. Almost four decades ago, the pair had starred together in Indiana Jones and The Temple of Doom, when Quan was just a child. Ford’s career went from strength to strength. But the roles for Quan soon began to dry up, and he was forced to settle into a career of stunt coordination and assistant directing. Everything Everywhere All At Once wasn’t merely a comeback. It was a second chance at a dream.

So to see Quan, a newly crowned Oscar winner for Best Supporting Actor, offered the chance to celebrate with the same man who helped guide him through his very first steps into the industry – well, to quote the actor himself, “they say...

Everything Everywhere All at Once got on a roll early Sunday night at the 95th annual Academy Awards, racking up early Best Supporting Actor and Actress wins for Ke Huy Quan and Jamie Lee Curtis respectively. By the time the ceremony was done three and a half hours later, the indie sci-fi movie about an immigrant woman and laundromat owner who saves the multiverse had racked up seven awards, including nearly all the heavyweights: Best Actress (Michelle Yeoh), Best Director (Daniels), Best Original Screenplay (Daniels), Best Editing (Paul Rogers), and, of course, Best Picture.

It felt in some ways like a sea change. Whatever you may think of it, Everything Everywhere All at Once was and is a genuine experiment in ambitious weirdness and unabashed genre filmmaking, a different animal altogether from conventional Best Picture picks of the past like Green Book or elevated arthouse fare like Nomadland. This felt...

As the credits began to roll at the end of the 2023 Oscars, host Jimmy Kimmel walked to the side of the stage, where somebody had placed an industrial workplace sign reading “Number of Oscars Telecasts Without an Incident,” and he triumphantly flipped the “00” to “01.”

That pretty much sums up the night.

Maybe you’re a person who loves chaos, in which case the Oscars telecast was doubtlessly a large disappointment. Maybe you’re a person who hates Everything Everywhere All at Once, in which case the Oscars telecast was doubtlessly infuriating. Maybe you hate Hollywood folks and think it’s inappropriate for the recipient of a professional honor to get emotional, in which case the Oscars telecast gave you plenty to be snide about.

I’m going to complain about things in the Oscars telecast. It’s what I do, and the telecast was hardly without flaws. But those flaws...

Thanks to the auteur theory, as advanced by upstart French theorists at the influential film journal Cahiers du Cinéma in the '50s and '60s, we've fallen into the habit of viewing movies as the work of a singular artist. Of course, this theory is sound when we're discussing the work of Alfred Hitchcock, John Ford, and Ingmar Bergman -- they had an identifiable visual style and revisited the same themes from film to film. The same applies to Boomer directors like Brian De Palma, Steven Spielberg, and Martin Scorsese, or modern masters like Quentin Tarantino, Kelly Reichardt, and Spike Lee.

On the set of a film, the director is head honcho, and the Directors Guild of America has fought hard to make sure the moviegoing public understands this. The director is the final name in the opening credits and gets a prominent placement on the poster. Sometimes, if they so choose,...

Tonight's Oscars promise a big night for "Everything Everywhere All At Once," the mind-melting masterpiece currently on track to take the Academy Awards by storm. All awards season long, the film has been picking up wins across the board, so it's entering the Oscars with 11 nominations and pretty solid odds for snagging more gilded trophies. In other words, this is the perfect moment to consider what comes next for its potential winners.

Just in time for the big night, Disney+ has released a teaser for "American Born Chinese," the action-comedy that coincidentally stars all four members of the Wang household: Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Stephanie Hsu, and James Hong.

Unintentionally, the series has become a family reunion for the stars of "Everything Everywhere All At Once," with Yeoh and Quan headlining this adaptation of cartoonist Gene Luen Yang's acclaimed graphic novel. The series will follow a teenage...

"The gate between Earth and Heaven is opening..." "The fate of your world hangs in the balance." Disney+ has revealed a first look teaser trailer for a new streaming series titled American Born Chinese, arriving to watch this summer. The title comes directly from the graphic novel of the same name from Gene Luen Yang. It seems as if Disney decided to jump on the Everything Everywhere All at Once hype, bringing back the four stars of that film and letting them work with Shang-Chi director Destin Daniel Cretton to create this action series. It follows Jin Wang, an average teenager juggling his high-school social life with his home life. When he meets a new foreign student at school, even more worlds collide in his life... The series stars Ben Wang as Jin Wang, along with an epic cast: Michelle Yeoh, Ke Huy Quan, Yeo Yann Yann, Chin Han, Daniel Wu,...

Real fans ignore the Oscar-nominated actor and head to the washing machines for their autograph. Screenshot: A24 After raking in a whole bunch of trophies at the Independent Spirit Awards and the SAG Awards, Everything Everywhere All At Once is on course to receive even more accolades at this weekend’s Oscars.

The Oscar buzz for Michelle Yeoh and her Best Actress nomination for Everything Everywhere All At Once has been a long time coming. After achieving stardom overseas in a series of Hong Kong action films in which she did many of her own stunts, Yeoh began to cross over in 1997 when she appeared opposite Pierce Brosnan in Tomorrow Never Dies.

The next year — which was two years before her international breakout performance in Ang Lee’s Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon — the actress’s profile in Hollywood rose quite literally when she agreed to do a shoot with photographer Joe McNally for National Geographic in which she soared over the Hollywood Sign.

McNally later explained the genesis the concept: “The story was termed ‘The Globalization of Culture,’ and it examined the rapid rate of the exchange of cultural items and icons, worldwide, via the hyper fast engines of TV, movies, fashion,...

Ke Huy Quan has revealed just how impactful Everything Everywhere All At Once has been on his career.

Since the Oscar-nominated film’s release, the Vietnamese actor has experienced a tremendous Hollywood comeback.

However, before the multiverse drama’s theatrical release in March 2022, which was delayed by Covid for two years after they wrapped filming in March 2020, Quan said nobody would hire him.

During a recent appearance on The Late Late Show with James Corden, the 51-year-old former child actor explained that after they filmed the movie, he was auditioning for several roles but could “not get a single job”.

“This is 2021, and I was so nervous. I was about to lose my health insurance,” Quan said. “So I called my agent and I said, ‘Can you please get me anything? It doesn’t matter, I just need one job to make the minimum requirement so I can qualify for health insurance the following year.

In what may be the most difficult-to-predict score competition in years, the original-music Oscar could go to a sentimental favorite, a past nominee or the newcomer to the race. Academy members begin voting today.

Legendary composer John Williams broke records again by becoming the most nominated living person, earning the highest number of nominations ever in the music categories, and becoming the oldest nominee ever for a competitive award. He is 91.

His nomination for “The Fabelmans” surprised some outsiders, as his fairly spare score is often overshadowed by the several classical pieces performed by Mitzi (Michelle Williams), the character based on director Steven Spielberg’s piano-playing mom. But it passed the 35% rule — that is, more than a third of the total musical content must be original dramatic score — or it would have been disqualified by the Academy’s strict music-branch executive committee.

Williams is enjoying more acclaim than ever, not...

Awards season is celebrating Michelle Yeoh for Everything Everywhere All At Once leading up to Oscar night. The Criterion Channel is celebrating Yeoh’s martial arts legacy with eight of her Chinese films added in the month of March. Showbiz Cheat Sheet recommends all eight, but here’s a guide to the films Criterion Channel selected.

Yeoh had supporting roles in two movies before taking the lead of Yes, Madam! The female police actioner launched an entire series that took on the name In the Line of Duty from part three, after Yeoh had left. The first entry teams Yeoh up with Cynthia Rothrock, playing a British cop, with unbelievable fight scenes against modern day criminals.

Your local Asian American sitcom funnyman veteran Randall Park is graduating from acting on TV to directing his own feature-length film! Shortly after "Everything Everywhere All at Once" dominated the 2023 Oscar nominations, Park's directorial debut "Shortcomings," made its humble premiere at the Sundance Film Festival.

The timing here is miraculous considering the subject material of Park's film. "Shortcomings," based on the 2007 graphic novel of the same name (its author Adrian Tomine returns to write the screenplay), centers on a group of young Bay Area Asian Americans. Coincidentally, the film opens on a spoof of "Crazy Rich Asians," for which Park's protagonist, Ben, a film school dropout and art-house manager expresses a large distaste. Ben's girlfriend, Miko (Ally Maki) tries to comfort Ben by arguing that the rom-com could be the jumping-off point for something fresher and "artsier" down the line.

"Shortcomings" uses this scene as a jumping-off point to explore...

Everything Everywhere All at Once falls into a unique place in the world of cinema right now. The multiverse is the hottest idea in Hollywood, with the last two Marvel movies both exploring the idea and bringing it to mainstream audiences. Through the eyes of Marvel it’s already an idea that feels like we’ve seen the limitations of what’s possible, until now. Everything Everywhere All at Once shows the endless possibilities of the multiverse, in one of the most original, unique and exciting films to come out in the last decade.

The multiverse movie follows Evelyn (Michelle Yeoh) who’s stuck in a life that feels it never really went anywhere. She works every day at the...

After just one weekend of play, ’Multiverse Of Madness’ is a long way towards matching the total global gross of 2016’s ’Doctor Strange’.

If one thing's been made clear over the years, it's that there is no one way for filmmakers and storytellers of all stripes to chart their own journeys to Hollywood. In fact, it seems like the more idiosyncratic and exciting a talent they are, the more unexpected and unique their path to putting a foot through the door and finding success appears to be. Short films, for example, can strike a chord among general audiences and industry people alike, as "Turning Red" director Domee Shi recently accomplished to incredible results with the acclaimed "Bao" in 2018. Others, like David Fincher, Spike Jonze, Antoine Fuqua, Jonathan...
