Ṣọpẹ́ Dìrísù has been cast as the lead of the Netflix series All the Sinners Bleed, from writer, showrunner, director, and executive producer Joe Robert Cole.

Dìrísù will portray Titus Crown, the first Black sheriff in the history of Charon County, Virginia. As Titus investigates a church shooting, he unearths terrible crimes and a serial killer who has been hiding in plain sight, haunting the dirt lanes and woodland clearings of Charon.

With the killer’s possible connections to a local church and the town’s harrowing history weighing on him, Titus projects confidence about closing the case while concealing a painful secret from his past. At the same time, he also has to contend with a far-right group that wants to hold a parade in celebration of the town’s Confederate history.

The project was greenlit to series in...

Netflix’s Sam Bankman-Fried limited series The Altruists is rounding out its cast with 10.

Eugene Young, Madison Hu (The Brothers Sun), Karan Soni, Matt Rife, Alex Lawther (Andor) and Naomi Okada will take on series regular roles working alongside leads Julia Garner and Anthony Boyle.

Maddie Hasson (The Recruit), Marianna Phung (Y: The Last Man), Paul Reiser and Robin Weigert will appear in recurring roles.

The story of Sam Bankman-Fried (Boyle) and Caroline Ellison (Garner), two hyper-smart, ambitious young idealists who tried to remake the global financial system in the blink of an eye – and then seduced, coaxed, and teased each other into stealing $8 billion.

“I’m moved beyond measure to get to assemble so many of my favorite actors in the world to explore the many lives caught up in this grand and heartbreaking tragedy,...

Anthony Boyle (“Masters of the Air”) and Julia Garner (“Ozark”) have signed on to play the leads in “The Altruists,” a new Netflix limited series that will chart the real-life rise and fall of the Ftx cryptocurrency exchange.

Boyle will play Ftx founder Sam Bankman-Fried, while Garner will star opposite him as Caroline Ellison, the former CEO of Alameda Research, the cryptocurrency trading firm co-founded by Bankman-Fried. For their roles in Ftx’s implosion, both Ellison and Bankman-Fried were indicted on, among other crimes, counts of wire fraud, conspiracy to commit wire fraud and conspiracy to commit money laundering. Ellison is currently serving a two-year prison sentence for her crimes, while Bankman-Fried was sentenced in 2024 to 25 years in prison.

Netflix’s logline for “The Altruists” promises that the series will tell the story of how Bankman-Fried and Ellison, a pair of hyper-smart, ambitious young idealists, tried to remake the global...

Julia Garner has closed her deal and will star opposite Anthony Boyle in a new Netflix series about Sam Bankman-Fried and Caroline Ellison and the collapse of cryptocurrency exchange Ftx, titled The Altruists. Graham Moore and Jacqueline Hoyt will co-showrun and executive produce.

The series follows Sam Bankman-Fried and his girlfriend, Caroline Ellison, two hyper-smart, ambitious young idealists who tried to remake the global financial system in the blink of an eye – and then seduced, coaxed, and teased each other into stealing $8 billion. The series is described as the wild romance of Gen Z’s own Bonnie and Clyde.

James Ponsoldt will direct the first episode and executive produce alongside Vinnie Malhotra and Jessie Dicovitsky for Higher Ground Productions, Scoop Wasserstein for New York Magazine/Vox Media Studios,...

At its upfronts presentation, Netflix ordered two new series: “All the Sinners Bleed” and “The Body.”

“All the Sinners Bleed” is a nine-episode TV adaptation of S.A. Cosby’s thriller novel of the same name. “Haunted by his past in the FBI and his devout mother’s untimely death, the first Black Sheriff in a small Bible Belt County must lead the hunt for a serial killer that has quietly been preying on Black communities in Southern Virginia for years in the name of God,” the logline reads.

“Black Panther” co-writer Joe Robert Cole will serve as showrunner and direct the premiere and several other episodes. Executive producers include Cosby, Amblin Television and Higher Ground. Netflix and Higher Ground have worked together on the sports docuseries “Starting 5,” “Bodkin,” “Leave the World Behind,” “American Symphony,” “Rustin” and “Working: What We Do All Day.”

“The Body” is a coming of age drama created by Quinn Shephard.

Barack Obama was almost part of “Severance” Season 2. Ben Stiller, who executive produces and directs the series, said during a recent appearance on “Jimmy Kimmel Live!” (which you can see in the below video) that he asked former president Obama to voice the animated Lumon building in the second season. Despite Obama being a “big fan” of the series, he turned the role down.

“I didn’t ask him in person,” Stiller said of how he approached asking Obama. “I knew someone that knew his lawyer, and his lawyer said ‘I can relay the request if you write an email,’ so I wrote an email to him. Like two days later I get an email back from President Barack Obama saying, ‘Hey Ben, big fan of the show, love Season 1, can’t wait for Season 2. … Don’t think I have time in my schedule to make this happen.'”

Stiller added,...

During a recent appearance on “The Late Show With Stephen Colbert,” Will Ferrell playfully told Oscar documentary branch voters to “suck it” for snubbing “Will & Harper” in the best doc feature race. Although Ferrell was joking, he voiced a sentiment held by a number of doc branch members.

Netflix acquired “Will & Harper” for a reported eight figures after the film’s acclaimed premiere at last year’s Sundance Film Festival. The doc centers on a road trip Ferrell took with Harper Steele after she came out as transgender 30 years into their friendship. Although it covers a controversial, timely subject matter – gender transition – the film was, thanks in large part to Ferrell’s celebrity status, a success. But that success, depending on who you speak to in the doc branch, could be one reason why the film was not nominated.

Over the last several years, some of the most critically acclaimed,...

Jon Batiste is singing the National Anthem at the 2025 Super Bowl.

The 38-year-old singer-songwriter is on hand to perform the song during the big game on Sunday (February 9) between the Philadelphia Eagles and the Kansas City Chiefs live from the Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

The extremely accomplished musician has worked with everyone from Stevie Wonder to Prince, and he currently serves as the music director of The Atlantic and the Creative Director of the National Jazz Museum in Harlem. He also co-composed the score for Pixar’s Soul, and he won an Album of the Year Grammy for 2021′s We Are.

Jon‘s “The Star-Spangled Banner” rendition is set to kick things off, and fans may be curious to know more about his personal life.

Sadly, there is some upsetting news happening right now at home.

Jon Bastiste is married to Suleika Jaouad.

Nominees for the 2025 Oscars will be announced on Jan. 23 — and one category that’s notoriously difficult to forecast is Best Documentary Feature. The Academy shortlist winnowed down the potential nominees to 15 films, but this year’s precursor awards have been all over the map. We’re also dealing with the Documentary Branch of the Academy — a group that has proven to be unpredictable.

In 2024, Gold Derby’s combined odds were able to forecast just two of the five nominees: The eventual winner, 20 Days in Mariupol, and Four Daughters. Scratched from the list were the Producers Guild of America’s top choice, American Symphony, along with Beyond Utopia, which had stacked PGA, Directors Guild of America, and BAFTA nominations, and the Emmy and National Board of Review winner, Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie. So what have we learned?

Why we can’t count on the guilds

Last year, the...

The Producers Guild of America has extended the voting window and pushed back its nominations announcement to January 12 in light of the ongoing LA wildfires.

On Thursday the Guild said it had extended the voting window for the PGA Awards by two days until January 11 to allow members more time to cast ballots.

The PGA Awards are scheduled to take place on February 8 in Los Angeles. Last year’s best feature winner Oppenheimer went on to claim the best picture Oscar. American Symphony and Spider-Man: Across The Spider-Verse won animation and documentary honours, respectively.

On Wednesday the Academy made a similar move,...

Barack Obama has shared his favorite movies of the year, continuing what has become an annual list-making tradition from the former President.

“Here are a few movies I’d recommend checking out this year,” Obama wrote in a briefer than usual caption on social media for this year’s list.

The full line-up, listed in no established order by Obama, includes “All We Imagine as Light,” “Conclave,” “The Piano Lesson,” “The Promised Land,” “The Seed of the Sacred Fig,” “Dune: Part Two,” “Anora,” “Dìdi (弟弟),” “Sugarcane” and “A Complete Unknown.”

Several titles on the former President’s list have featured heavily in awards conversations, with “Anora,” “Conclave” and the Timothée Chalamet-led duo of “A Complete Unknown” and “Dune: Part Two” being widely projected to land nods in the Oscars’ best picture category. The Tehran-set “The Seed of the Sacred Fig” is also Germany’s official submission for the best international feature film category.

The Producers Guild of America has unveiled its first round of 2025 PGA Awards nominees. The category of Outstanding Producer of Documentary Motion Pictures was announced on December 10, 2024, with the Children’s Program, Short-Form Program, and Sports Program categories being announced three days later. The ceremony will take place on February 8, 2025 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles, California.

Comprised of more than 8,400 producers, the guild first nominated six documentaries for the Outstanding Producer of Documentary Motion Pictures category. The selected films are in the process of being vetted for individual producer eligibility.

The previous ceremony awarded Lauren Domino, Matthew Heineman, and Joedan Okun with the Outstanding Producer of Documentary Motion Picture for “American Symphony.” In 2023, “Navalny” producers Odessa Rae, Diane Becker, Melanie Miller, and Shane Boris were honored with the PGA Award and went on to win the Academy Award for Best Documentary Feature.

The 36th annual PGA Awards...

Today, the Producers Guild of America (PGA) announced the 2025 Documentary Motion Picture nominees that will advance to the final round of voting for the 36th Annual PGA Awards. Winners will be announced on Saturday, Feb. 8 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.

Below are the nominees for Best Documentary:

“Gaucho Gaucho”

“Mediha”

“Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa”

“Porcelain War”

“Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story”

“We Will Dance Again”

Last year, producers Lauren Domino, Matthew Heineman, and Joedan Okun were honored with the award for for “American Symphony,” defeating eventual Oscar champ “20 Days in Mariupol.” The movie intimately followed award-winning musician Jon Batiste’s journey in composing a symphony while his wife underwent cancer treatment.

The winner of the PGA Award for Best Documentary has matched up with the eventual Oscar winner five of the past 10 years: “Amy” (2015), “O.J.: Made in America” (2016), “My Octopus Teacher” (2020), “Summer of Soul...

The Producers Guild of America 2025 nominees for Outstanding Producer of Documentary Motion Picture award include “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story,” “Gaucho Gaucho,” “Mediha,” “Mountain Queen: The Summits of Lhakpa Sherpa,” “Porcelain War” and “We Will Dance Again.”

Winners will be announced at the PGA Awards on Feb. 8 at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Los Angeles.

“Super/Man” was named among the top five documentaries of the year by NBR and is a nominee for the Cinema Eye Honors. “Porcelain War,” about the challenges faced by artists in Ukraine, won the Sundance Grand Jury documentary prize. “Mountain Queen,” about a single mother who is a mountain climber, won the TIFF People’s Choice audience award for documentary. “Gaucho Gaucho,” from the filmmakers of “The Truffle Hunters,” is nominated for an Indie Spirit documentary award. “Mediha” won the grand jury prize at Doc NYC, while “We Will Dance Again,” about the Supernova Music Festival massacre,...

The NFL has set its star-studded pregame entertainment lineup for Super Bowl Lix, which will air live on Fox on Feb. 9, 2025 from Caesars Superdome in New Orleans.

Jon Batiste will perform the National Anthem, while Ledisi will sing “Lift Every Voice and Sing” and Trombone Shorty will accompany Lauren Daigle for “America the Beautiful.”

“We’re honored to work with this year’s pregame lineup to celebrate the rich musical legacy of New Orleans and the entire state,” NFL music head Seth Dudowsky said in a statement. “The Super Bowl is a rare moment to unite fans around the world, and this year’s performers will bring the energy, soul and vibrant sounds of the region to a global stage, as we kickoff Super Bowl Lix with a celebration to remember.”

Batiste is a five-time Grammy Award winning and Academy Award-winning artist known for his work as a singer, songwriter and composer.

The Critics Choice Association unveiled the nominees for its 9th annual documentary awards on Oct. 14. “Sugarcane” leads with eight bids including Best Documentary Feature, Best Director for Julian Brave NoiseCat and Emily Kassie, Cinematography, and Editing. This film about child abuse at an Indian residential school also contends in the historical, political, and true crime categories while the helmers are up for the newcomers prize.

Three films netted a half dozen nominations each: “Billy & Molly: An Otter Love Story,” “Daughters,” and “Super/Man: The Christopher Reeve Story.” All three contend for Best Documentary Feature. That race is rounded out by “The Greatest Night in Pop,” “Jim Henson Idea Man,” “Music by John Williams,” “Piece by Piece,” “The Remarkable Life of Ibelin,” and “Will & Harper.”

Last year, “American Symphony” earned a leading six nominations from the Ccda but was then snubbed by the documentary branch of the academy. The big...

“Dune: Part Two,” “Inside Out 2” and “The Creator” lead the feature nominations for this year’s Hollywood Professional Association (Hpa) Awards with three apiece. The awards will be presented during a Nov. 7 gala at the Television Academy in North Hollywood.

“Dune: Part Two” was nominated in the categories for color grading, editing and sound; “The Creator,” for color grading, sound and visual effects; and “Inside Out 2” for color grading in an animation feature, sound, and VFX in an animated feature. The eligibility period runs from September to September.

As previously announced, during the ceremony FotoKem will receive the Charles S. Swartz Award for industry contributions. Adobe, Disguise, Cuebric and Evercast will be honored for engineering excellence.

The list of nominees follows:

Outstanding Color Grading – Live Action Theatrical Feature

“Blink Twice” — Damien Vandercruyssen // Harbor

“The Creator” — David Cole // FotoKem

“Dune: Part Two” — David Cole // FotoKem

Exclusive: Netflix has lined up a blockbuster slate of short documentaries heading into Oscar season, including the latest from two-time Academy Award winner Ben Proudfoot in collaboration with the Obamas’ production company.

The streamer announced four acquisitions today, beginning with The Turnaround, directed by Kyle Thrash and Proudfoot, a documentary that “tells the story of Philadelphia Phillies’ superfan Jon McCann, who helped inspire an unlikely 2023 standing ovation for Phillies shortstop Trea Turner, which helped turn the team around after hitting a major roadblock.”.

As Deadline reported in late August, Higher Ground, the production company founded by former Pres. Barack Obama and former First Lady Michelle Obama, came aboard The Turnaround. Higher Ground produces, along with Proudfoot’s Breakwater Studios, Cookie Jar & A...

Netflix has announced its newest sports series, Starting 5, which will premiere on October 9, 2024. The 10-part series provides an intense, behind-the-scenes look at the 2023-24 NBA season through the eyes of five of the league’s biggest players – Jimmy Butler (Miami Heat), Anthony Edwards (Minnesota Timberwolves), LeBron James (Los Angeles Lakers), Domantas Sabonis (Sacramento Kings), and Jayson Tatum (Boston Celtics).

The series captures their battles on and off the court as they chase greatness, push through injuries, and balance the demands of family and legacy. James pushes himself harder than ever to stay healthy – and dominant – in his 21st season, while Edwards electrifies with his rapid rise.

Butler’s relentless drive propels the Heat, Sabonis anchors the Kings with his versatile play, and Tatum leads the Celtics in their quest for a record 18th championship. Starting 5 delivers an unfiltered view of life at the pinnacle of professional basketball.

The Grammys’ visual media field honors the best in music made for film, television and other formats. This year’s contenders range from blockbuster soundtracks to more under-the-radar but important material from critically beloved artists.

For Best Song for Visual Media, the race is full of plausible winners. Olivia Rodrigo could take home another Grammy this year here for “Can’t Catch Me Now,” the lead single from the “Hunger Games: The Ballad of Songbirds and Snakes” soundtrack. There’s precedent for Rodrigo, as Taylor Swift previously won here for a song from the same franchise, “Safe and Sound” from the original “Hunger Games”; both, however, were snubbed by the Oscars.

Speaking of Oscars, one Academy Award-nominated song that could be a contender here is “It Never Went Away” performed and co-written by Grammy favorite Jon Batiste for his documentary “American Symphony.” Batiste doesn’t always win at these awards,...

The attendees of CAA Amplify are accustomed to an annual lineup comprising their own high-wattage, high-impact peers, but one of this year’s speakers was truly peerless.

Michelle Obama took the stage at the Ojai Valley Inn on Tuesday with Regina King for a conversation in which the former first lady reflected on her life since the White House and what she and president Barack Obama are looking to do with their production company, Higher Ground.

“What’s the format that people come together and learn? It’s movies, it’s short films, it’s stories,” said Obama, whose banner’s releases in the past year included the Jon Batiste documentary American Symphony, biopic Rustin and mystery thriller Leave the World Behind. “This is where America is, and you’ve got to meet people where they are. If Hollywood is where they are, as Barack and I think, then how...

Netflix and The Blackhouse Foundation will partner on the Netflix Nonfiction Producing Fellowship, a year-long program giving rising producers from underrepresented perspectives the hands-on training, mentorship and experience to help advance their careers in film and TV production.

Five participants will be selected to each work directly on a production under the Netflix Nonfiction Film and Series teams, which includes unscripted, documentary and sports.

Exclusive: Tonia Davis, who has been the Head of Motion Pictures for five years at Higher Ground, is transitioning out of the role. She will remain a producer on upcoming projects at the studio.

Higher Ground Productions President Vinnie Malhotra will continue to oversee the company’s film and television divisions.

Davis tells us, “I am immensely proud of the work we have done together at Higher Ground, including winning an Academy Award and bringing important and entertaining stories to audiences around the world. Now is the right time for me to start my next chapter and I am excited to continue to produce alongside the team at Higher Ground.”

Higher Ground’s Joe Paulsen adds, “Tonia has been an integral part of Higher Ground since the beginning. We are so grateful for her work and dedication over the past five years and excited to continue producing with her during...

Watch spotting at the Oscars is always catnip for timepiece lovers, as the biggest stars walk the red carpet wearing a parade of hyped horological mechanisms by the likes of Omega, Vacheron Constantin, Jacob & Co., Iwc, Cartier and Rolex (typically their own as that brand doesn’t gift or lend its pieces).

Falling into that latter category at Oscars 2024 was John Cena, who appeared nearly naked onstage during the telecast to announce the award for best costume design.

In addition to his modesty garment and a pair of Birkenstocks, the only other item the actor sported was his own Rolex Explorer II watch, which featured a white dial and an arrow-shaped 24-hour hand, as spotted by Watch Pro. The watch, which can display two time zones simultaneously, retails for $9,650.

Apparently, even when you’re naked at the Academy Awards, you don’t want to be without a trusty timepiece.

Ryan Gosling isn’t just Ken anymore.

The Oscar nominee was up for Best Supporting Actor for his turn in Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” and also belted his “I’m Just Ken” ballad onstage during the 2024 Academy Awards.

Gosling, who moonlights as the Dead Man’s Bones frontman, rocked out to the Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt-penned song which became one of the many breakout anthems of the history-making blockbuster movie. Guitarist Slash from Guns N Roses accompanied Gosling for the live performance of the beloved “Barbie” track, along with fellow Ken “Barbie” actors Simu Liu, Ncuti Gatwa, and more, for a “Gentlemen Prefer Blondes”-inspired musical moment.

Fellow “Barbie” song “What Was I Made For?,” written by Billie Eilish and her brother Finneas, was also performed during the ceremony. “What Was I Made For?” went on to win the Oscar for Best Original Song.

Other Best Song nominees...

Jon Batiste took to the Oscars stage on Sunday to perform “It Never Went Away” from his nominated documentary American Symphony. Batiste showcased the intimate, emotional song at a grand piano alongside the accompanying Oscar orchestra, earning passionate applause from the crowd.

The songs in the running for the 2024 Best Original Song Oscar are “It Never Went Away” (“American Symphony”), “I’m Just Ken” (“Barbie”), “What Was I Made For?” (“Barbie”), “The Fire Inside” (“Flamin’ Hot”), and “Wahzhazhe (A Song for My People)” (“Killers of the Flower Moon”). Our current odds show that “What Was I Made For?” (31/10)) is favored to win, followed in order by “I’m Just Ken” (37/10), “It Never Went Away” (9/2), “The Fire Inside” (9/2), and “Wahzhazhe” (9/2).

This year’s roster of eight individual songwriters includes two pairs of former winners, each of which is associated with a “Barbie” song. Those who prevailed most recently are sibling duo Billie Eilish and Finneas O’Connell, whose bid for “What Was I Made For?” comes two years after they took the gold for the title tune from the “James Bond” movie “No Time to Die” (2022).

The Cinema Audio Society Awards gave a boost to the Oscar hopes of “Oppenheimer” on Saturday. The film took top honors at these precursor prizes that honor sound mixing over one of its Oscar rivals for Best Sound — “Maestro”– as well as “Barbie,” “Ferrari,” “and “Killers of the Flower Moon.”

The upcoming Oscars mark the fourth year for the Best Sound category, which combines Best Sound Editing and Best Sound Mixing. The Cas honors the latter while the Motion Picture Sound Editors salute achievements in the former.

Last year all five of the society’s favorites — “All Quiet on the Western Front,” “Avatar: The Way of Water,” “Batman,” “Elvis” and “Top Gun: Maverick” — sounded good to the academy’s sound branch. “Top Gun: Maverick” won both awards.

In 2022, four of the five Cas nominees — “Dune,” “No Time to Die,” “The Power of the Dog” and “West Side Story” — went on to contend at the Oscars.

After Kenough of a back and forth, Ryan Gosling has finally agreed to perform “I’m Just Ken” at the 96th Oscars on March 10.

On Tuesday, February 28, the show’s executive producers Molly McNearney, Katy Mullan, and Raj Kapoor (who is also the showrunner this year) announced that all five tracks nominated for the Best Original Song Oscar will be performed live during the ceremony.

That means joining Gosling on stage will be Oscar-winning music producer Mark Ronson, who co-wrote the music and lyrics to nominee “I’m Just Ken” with his co-composer on the film Andrew Wyatt.

Fellow contributors to the “Barbie” soundtrack Billie Eilish and Finneas will also be back on the Dolby Theatre stage just two years after they won the same Oscar category for their Bond theme “No Time to Die.” This time, the sibling songwriting duo will perform “What Was I Made For?,” the climactic...

Oscar producers have announced the first performer and initial list of presenters for the Oscars 2024 ceremony. Nominee Ryan Gosling will perform the Original Song contender “I’m Just Ken” from “Barbie” years after he turned down an opportunity to sing music from “La La Land” on the event. That news is according to our Pmc sister website Variety.

Presenters include all four of last year’s acting winners: Brendan Fraser from “The Whale” and Michelle Yeoh, Jamie Lee Curtis and Ke Huy Quan from “Everything Everywhere All at Once.” In fact, every presenter revealed on Monday is a previous Academy Awards champ except for Michelle Pfeiffer and Zendaya. That list includes Mahershala Ali, Nicolas Cage, Jessica Lange, Matthew McConaughey, Lupita Nyong’o, Al Pacino and Sam Rockwell.

There is no word yet on who will perform the other nominated tunes “What Was I Made For?” (“Barbie”), “The Fire Inside” (“Flamin’ Hot...

The 2024 Producers Guild of America Awards took awards season one step closer to the Oscars.

The annual PGA Awards happened February 25, immediately following the 2024 Film Independent Spirit Awards. The awards-heavy weekend festivities also included the 2024 SAG Awards on February 24.

The nominees mirror the Academy Awards’ frontrunners list, with winner “Oppenheimer,” plus “American Fiction,” “Anatomy of a Fall,” “Barbie,” “The Holdovers,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Maestro,” “Past Lives,” “Poor Things,” and “The Zone of Interest” among the contenders.

Formally known as the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Outstanding Producer of Theatrical Motion Pictures, the Theatrical Motion Picture category for the PGA Awards has historically been an indicator of Best Picture winners, with 15 of the previous 20 winners going on to win the top title at the Academy Awards.

“Killers of the Flower Moon” director and “Maestro” producer Martin Scorsese was honored with the David O. Selznick Achievement Award for his producing work over the last half-century.

Gold Derby is backstage at the 35th Producers Guild of America Awards on Sunday, February 25 in order to bring you all the up-to-date details on the presenters, nominees and winners. (See our official odds in 10 film and TV categories.) Senior editor Denton Davidson is in the press room and will let us all know every time something newsworthy happens. Read on for our 2024 PGA Awards live blog.

The PGA Awards honor the best producers of features, documentaries, series and specials, as voted on by more than 8,000 members of the producing guild. The 10 nominated films for the Darryl F. Zanuck Award for Best Picture are “American Fiction, “Anatomy of a Fall,” “Barbie,” “The Holdovers,” “Killers of the Flower Moon,” “Maestro,” “Oppenheimer,” “Past Lives,” “Poor Things” and “The Zone of Interest.”

Between February 10 and March 7, a dozen motion picture guilds lauded the most outstanding achievements in their respective fields during the previous year. The 2024 guild awards season then officially concluded with the announcement of the Writers Guild of America honors on April 14. In the end, “Oppenheimer” outpaced all of its competitors with prizes from nine guilds.

Typically, all 13 guilds hand out their trophies before the corresponding Oscars take place, but this year’s WGA Awards were delayed six weeks because of the organization’s recent 148-day strike. The groups whose ceremonies preceded the Oscars on March 10 comprise art directors, directors, makeup artists & hairstylists, costume designers, visual effects artists, actors, producers, sound mixers, film editors, cinematographers, sound editors, and casting directors.

Below is a complete breakdown of guild wins by film. See the full guild nominations scorecard here.

Christopher Nolan‘s “Oppenheimer” will notch another incredibly important precursor win on its path to the Oscars at the upcoming 35th Producers Guild of America Awards on Sunday, Feb. 25. According to our official odds, the blockbuster film will take home the honor of Best Picture. The ceremony includes other film categories such as animated and documentary feature and television trophies for drama, comedy, limited series and more. Scroll down for our official PGA Awards odds in 10 categories with our winner predictions highlighted in gold.

A victory for “Oppenheimer” here would be significant because, more often than not, the winner at PGA goes on to win Best Picture at the Academy Awards. Since 2000, the two prizes have gone hand-in-hand 16 times. The exceptions are film years 2001 (when PGA opted for “Moulin Rouge!” and the Oscars awarded “A Beautiful Mind”), 2004 (“The Aviator” / “Million Dollar Baby”), 2005 (“Brokeback Mountain” / “Crash”), 2006 (“Little Miss Sunshine” / “The Departed...

When the Oscar nominations were announced last month, it marked a watershed moment for the Documentary Feature category. All the nominated films focused on international subjects – stories from Uganda, Tunisia, Ukraine, India and Chile — and not a single American director was recognized.

Two prominent documentaries by major U.S. filmmakers were among the leading contenders that got snubbed: Matthew Heineman’s American Symphony, and Davis Guggenheim’s Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie.

A headline in a recent Variety piece described the doc community as “reeling” over the nominations. An unnamed documentary producer quoted in the article expressed deep concern over the lack of recognition for American filmmakers and said it was a “giant mistake” that the Documentary branch – which determines the nominees – “did not nominate some of the most successful and most beloved films of the year.”

The BAFTA Awards were presented on February 18 by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). So who prevailed? Scroll down for the complete 2024 BAFTA Awards winners list in all categories.

BAFTA is an independent arts charity that comprises thousands of industry insiders, much like the American motion picture academy. The BAFTAs could well give us a preview of what the Oscars might do in three weeks time on March 10. And with voting for the Oscars kicking off on February 22, this precursor could have an outsized influence.

Until 2013, the entire BAFTA membership decided the nominees in a complicated two-part process that involved a lot of longlists with the general membership deciding the semi-finalists and the branches making the final determination of the nominees. This was replaced in 2013 by a system more akin to the Oscars where nominations were determined by each branch (except for Best Picture). Two years ago,...

Pope Francis, Hillary Rodham Clinton and former Un chief Ban Ki-Moon will be honored at the upcoming Cinema for Peace gala in Berlin on February 19.

The long-running gala run by the Cinema for Peace Foundation will be accompanied by the inaugural World Forum on the Future Of Democracy, Tech and Humankind.

The latter event will run from February 18 to 19 at the Allianz Forum next to the Brandenburg Gate in Berlin with the aim of promoting the renewal of democracy and freedom at a time when both are under threat.

The Cinema for Peace Foundation was created in 2008 as an international non-profit organization with the goal to foster change through film. Over the years it has worked with a host of stars including Angelina Jolie, Brad Pitt, Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney.

Clinton and Ban will attend the February 19 gala in person while Pope Francis will be shown receiving his award in a recorded video.

Two of the top contenders for Best Documentary Feature at the Academy Awards have something to celebrate ahead of their upcoming Oscar showdown.

On Saturday night, The Eternal Memory, directed by Chilean filmmaker Maite Alberdi, was named Best IberoAmerican Film at the Goya Awards in Valladolid, Spain. Meanwhile, on this side of the Atlantic, Mstyslav Chernov’s 20 Days in Mariupol won Best Documentary at the DGA Awards held at the Beverly Hilton.

As she accepted the Goya – Spain’s equivalent of the Oscar – Alberdi was joined on stage by Paulina Urrutia, one of the two protagonists of the film. The Eternal Memory, or La Memoria Infinita as it is called in Spanish, tells the love story between Urrutia and Augusto Góngora, a bond that only deepened after Augusto was diagnosed with Alzheimer’s at the age of 62.
