Natalie Portman ultimately won the role of Padmé Amidala, but only one other actress is known to have been in consideration for the role. Vinette Robinson, known for Sherlock, also auditioned for Padmé, though all the other potential actresses have yet to be revealed after 25 years. While Robinson would have been great in the role, there's no doubt Portman was the perfect choice for Padmé.

Padmé Amidala is one of the most iconic characters of the entire Star Wars franchise, but 25 years after her debut in Star Wars: Episode I—The Phantom Menace, it’s still unclear who else was up for the role. Natalie Portman brought the character to life, being just 16 years old during the filming of The Phantom Menace.

Danny Strong’s sobering and kaleidoscopic look at the opioid crisis landed 14 nominations, including directing, writing and six for acting, and can boast a certain social import that its competitors cannot. It already won a Peabody Award and a SAG Award for Michael Keaton, who as Dr. Samuel Finnix looks unstoppable in the lead-actor-in-a-limited-series race.

Here is Louis C.K’s response in full to yesterday’s New York Times piece in which five women accused him of sexual misconduct:

I want to address the stories told to the New York Times by five women named Abby, Rebecca, Dana, Julia who felt able to name themselves and one who did not.

These stories are true. At the time, I said to myself that what I did was okay because I never showed a woman my dick without asking first, which is also true. But what I learned later in life, too late, is that when you have power over another person, asking them to look at your dick isn’t a question. It’s a predicament for them. The power I had over these women is that they admired me. And I wielded that power irresponsibly.

I have been remorseful of my actions. And I’ve tried to learn from them.
