Peacock has ordered a second season of its highly anticipated new comedy series The Paper. The series will premiere on Peacock on Thursday, September 4.

In the tradition of The Office, which is one of the most binged series of all time, The Paper will drop all 10 episodes at once so fans can enjoy the entirety of the show at their convenience.

In The Paper, the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch in the Emmy Award-winning series The Office finds a new subject when they discover a historic Midwestern newspaper and the publisher trying to revive it.

Although Jon Hamm became a household name through his dramatic lead role in "Mad Men," he's since revealed himself to be a particularly talented comedic actor. From his four fantastic "Saturday Night Live" hosting gigs to his recurring roles on "30 Rock," "Good Omens," and "Curb Your Enthusiasm," Hamm's been down to get real silly with it. 

In addition to playing comedic original characters, Hamm's been happy to reprise his ad man role for comedic effect. Most recently, he returned to play Draper in "Unfrosted," that bizarre Poptart movie from Jerry Seinfeld last year. But perhaps his strangest Draper reappraisal came seven years before that: in 2017, he guest-starred in an episode of "SpongeBob SquarePants." He voiced ad exec Don Grouper, a handsome yet shady ad man who wants to help Mr. Krabs sell frozen Krabby Patties.

Despite the obvious parallels to his "Mad Men" character, Don Grouper is not...

Peacock has released the official trailer and key art for The Paper, which will premiere with four episodes on September 4, followed by two new episodes every Thursday through September 25.

The series comes from creators, writers, and executive producers Greg Daniels (The Office) and Michael Koman (Nathan for You) and Universal Television.

In The Paper, the documentary crew that immortalized Dunder Mifflin’s Scranton branch in the Emmy Award-winning series The Office finds a new subject when they discover a historic Midwestern newspaper and its publisher’s attempt to revive it.

The cast includes Domhnall Gleeson, Sabrina Impacciatore (The White Lotus), Chelsea Frei, Melvin Gregg, and Gbemisola Ikumelo.

Alex Edelman, Ramona Young, Tim Key, and Oscar Nuñez round out the cast.

The Paper guest stars include Eric Rahill, Tracy Letts, Molly Ephraim, Mo Welch, Allan Havey, Duane Shepard Sr., Nate Jackson, and Nancy Lenehan.

In the "Seinfeld" episode "The Butter Shave", Jerry (Jerry Seinfeld), George (Jason Alexander), and Kramer (Michael Richards) have all decided to shave the mustaches they have been fostering. Somehow, Kramer finds that butter proves to be a superior substitute to shaving cream. Everyone is baffled by this, but Kramer loves it, claiming the butter makes his skin softer. He even tries buttering up his whole body and laying out in the sun for a spell. Unfortunately, he falls asleep while tanning, and wakes up with a crispy, turkey-skin shade. 

This proves to be a problem later when Kramer goes to a diner and meets Newman (Wayne Knight). Newman thinks Kramer smells ... delicious. Newman is baffled by his appetite. He glances over at a whole, stuffed turkey being served at the diner, and he begins hallucinating. He sees Kramer's head on the turkey's body. This kind of hallucination may have been common in cartoon shorts,...

After a two-year hiatus, the wait for new episodes of Mike Judge's Beavis and Butt-Head is almost over. Today, Comedy Central announced that Season 3 of the animated series is coming sooner rather than later. The announcement was made with a wacky new trailer, which you can check out in this article. Season 3 of the revival series is set to debut on September 3, with episodes rolling out weekly.

Once again, Beavis and Butt-Head will follow the title characters (both voiced by Mike Judge himself) as they go through absurd, hilarious, and shocking adventures, with the brand of lowbrow humor that defined a whole generation back in the 90s. Per tradition, there will be a lot of sniggering, random jokes, and head-banging in the new episodes of the show — and fans aren't complaining.

If somehow you missed the return of Beavis and Butt-Head when the duo, like, arrived in the streaming era,...

Like peanut butter and chocolate — if peanut butter was full of observational humor and chocolate was obsessed with psychosexual dreamscapes — the comedy of Seinfeld and the work of late filmmaking genius David Lynch are a surprisingly great combination.

As we’ve mentioned before, Seinfeld and Twin Peaks specifically have a lot in common. For one thing, diners feature prominently in both shows: Monk’s and the Double R, respectively. Plus, the two series also shared a number of actors, including Grace Zabriskie and Warren Frost (father of Twin Peaks creator Mark Frost) who played Susan’s parents. And we’re not sure that the old lady with the marble rye wasn’t supposed to be the Black Lodge entity known as Mrs. Tremond/Chalfont.

Fans have found a number of creative ways to pair up these two tonally disparate shows in interesting ways, including the Sein Peaks YouTube channel, which...

It’s hard to remember now, but movies used to be funny. And not just funny as a means to an end, but funny as an end unto itself. Like, people would pay money to go see something explicitly because it promised to make them laugh, which is wild to imagine now that jokes are basically just something that Hollywood uses to hide the fact that it’s given up on making comedies. What used to be a proud and reliable genre has since been reduced to an omnipresent tone — a tone so...

With Emmy voting beginning in two days and running through June 23, it’s time to once again confront that old Television Academy truth: Emmy voters are creatures of habit.

While the Oscars have revamped their membership over the past decade, bringing in more international voters and producing a string of Best Picture nominees and winners that once would have been unthinkable, the Television Academy has adapted to the changing TV landscape by remaining largely predictable.

Yes, it’s progress that voters embraced the predominantly Japanese-language series “Shōgun” last year, but nobody was really surprised when that happened. Like an aircraft carrier, the Television Academy is huge — more than 26,000 members — and it doesn’t turn easily.

Still, one can hope for some changes this year. On the eve of voting, here’s my modest wish list for the 77th Primetime Emmy Awards.

Just For Laughs has rounded out its 2025 Gala host lineup with the addition of Roy Wood Jr. and Mikey Day, who will join previously announced hosts Michelle Buteau and Fortune Feimster for the festival’s marquee events running July 25-26 in Montreal.

The festival, which runs July 16-27, will feature solo showcases from rising stars Ralph Barbosa, Joe Dombrowski, and Carlos Ballarta, whose show will be performed entirely in Spanish.

Wood Jr., who will host the July 25 Gala, brings significant television credentials to the role. The Emmy-nominated documentary producer and WGA-nominated writer spent eight years as a correspondent on Comedy Central’s Emmy-winning “The Daily Show” and made headlines in 2023 when he guest-hosted the program and headlined the White House Correspondents’ Dinner to its highest ratings since 2017. Currently, he hosts CNN’s “Have I Got News for You,” an American adaptation of the U.K.’s longest-running comedy series that...

Netflix’s latest series will feature two award-winning actors in the lead. Dan Levy, best known for portraying David Rose on the hit series Schitt’s Creek, and Laurie Metcalf, who played Jackie Harris in Roseanne and its sequel series The Conners, will lead a new crime comedy series on the streamer, per Entertainment Weekly.

Both Levy and Metcalf are four-time Emmy winners, and Metcalf was nominated for an Oscar for her performance in Greta Gerwig’s 2017 film Lady Bird. The yet-untitled series is described as a family crime comedy and was announced at Netflix’s recent upfront presentation.

Levy is the series’ co-creator and will executive produce and serve as showrunner in addition to starring. Rachel Sennott co-created the show with Levy. She also starred in The Idol with Levy and The Weeknd. Also announced as a member of the cast is Taylor Ortega, who played Shego in Disney’s...

“Everybody’s ripping me off!”

That’s what Jerry shouts in Season Nine of Seinfeld when Elaine cons him into buying her lunch. While it fit perfectly within the context of “The Dealership” episode, it may also have been a bit of meta-commentary. This was the first episode to air after it was announced that the show would be ending, and Seinfeld was so popular at the time that other sitcoms were popping up left and right that seemed custom-designed to try to capture some of Seinfeld’s success.

The most obvious Seinfeld clones were the uninspired — and usually unsuccessful — low-premise sitcoms about friends who sit around and talk. But plenty of genuinely good shows that have since become TV classics have also been accused of ripping off Seinfeld.

Here are five such shows, some of which were successful while others struggled to find an audience of their own…...

Jon Hamm, John Slattery and Zoey Deutch will star in a new R-rated comedy set against the backdrop of the entertainment industry. The film, which has the placeholder title of Untitled Celebrity Pass Movie, will be directed by David Wain, who is best known for his work behind the camera on “Role Models” and “Wet Hot American Summer.” Sabrina Impacciatore, Ben Wang, Miles Gutierrez-Riley and Ken Marino round out the heavyweight ensemble.

Described as an “off-the-rails odyssey through modern day Hollywood,” the film was written by Wain and Marino. The pair previously collaborated on “Wanderlust,” “Childrens Hospital,” and “The State,” as well as “Role Models.” It shot on location in Los Angeles, and was a recipient of the California Film & Television Tax Credit program.

In the film, a Midwestern bride-to-be, Gail Daughtry (Deutch), has a celebrity hall pass agreement with her fiancé… who uses it. Their relationship in crisis, Gail...

The already highly-anticipated 2025 Tribeca Festival just got an extra boost of star power. IndieWire can announce that Martin Scorsese, David Cronenberg, Darren Aronofsky, and Christopher Guest are among the auteurs who will be in attendance for respective film anniversary reunions.

Tribeca staple Scorsese will be on hand to mark the 30th anniversary of “Casino” with a special screening and conversation alongside actor and Tribeca co-founder Robert De Niro. Scorsese will also introduce a special 35mm screening of “Kundun” in honor of the Dalai Lama’s 90th birthday.

Cronenberg makes his Tribeca debut for the 50th anniversary of “Shivers,” while Aronofsky returns to the festival for the 25th anniversary screening of “Requiem for a Dream.” Mary Harron’s “American Psycho” will also screen alongside fellow 2000 film “Best in Show.” Director Christopher Guest and ensemble stars Parker Posey, Jane Lynch, John Michael Higgins, and Michael McKean will be part of a post-screening...

Did You Know Jon Hamm Nearly Lost A Major Role Because He Wasn’t Considered Appealing?(Photo Credit –YouTube)

Jon Hamm nearly missed out on playing one of TV’s most iconic men — all because a network thought he wasn’t sexy enough. Yup, you read that right. The network wasn’t exactly swooning over him before Hamm swaggered into living rooms everywhere as Don Draper on AMC’s Mad Men. In fact, they needed a lot of convincing.

When Hamm first auditioned, AMC had its sights set on a big Hollywood name. After all, Mad Men was their first original series. They wanted a star with instant sizzle. Hamm? Well, he wasn’t that guy yet. He wasn’t famous, and apparently, he wasn’t hot enough either.

Jon Hamm shared a slice of humble pie during his visit to The Graham Norton Show (via FandomWire), saying, “It’s...

Francis Ford Coppola’s 2024 film Megalopolismay have failed to become a box office success, but one of the movie’s actors says that while making the sci-fi epic, he received the best direction he’s ever heard on set. Adam Driver(Star Wars: Episode VII - The Force Awakens) paid tribute to Coppola at the Dolby Theater in Los Angeles on April 26 as the Oscar-winning director received AFI’s 50th Life Achievement Award from the American Film Institute.

Per Deadline, Driver called Coppola one of his “cinematic heroes” and talked about working with The Godfather director on Megalopolis. Driver starred in the film, which Coppola self-funded after first coming up with the idea back in 1983, as Cesar Catilina.

Driver called Coppola “A theater director who brought his process to film and revolutionized how we think about cinema, and certainly how we make it.” He continued, “His movies, for some, are...

It's a little hard to believe that The Office spin-off is actually happening, especially because rumors of it have been going around for years. This time, however, the new series is giving all the signs that it has taken off by announcing main cast members and its basic premise. This week, however, The Office alumnus Oscar Nuñez provided an important update on The Paper, and it looks like the show is a lot closer to coming to our screens than we imagined.

The information was revealed during a participation on the Today show. Nuñez was invited along with several original cast members, including Brian Baumgartner (Kevin), Angela Kinsey (Angela), Creed Bratton (Creed), Kate Flannery (Meredith), Leslie David Baker (Stanley), and Ellie Kemper (Erin). The group was celebrating the series' 20th anniversary, and during the group interview Nuñez revealed that episodes are in the editing process, which might indicate that a trailer will pop up soon.

Before Hailey Gates made her Sundance-winning feature film “Atropia,” the young filmmaker was attempting to make a short film, “Shako Mako,” based on the real-life military training village she ended up depicting in the feature. The fashion brand Miu Miu, as part of its Women’s Tales filmmakers series, helped make it happen. The brand provided clothing, some financing, and other resources, but — above all — was hands-off with the creative.

An Afghanistan War satire might not seem like a particularly relevant brand association for an upscale fashion line, but for Miu Miu, just being in Gates’ orbit makes an impact. Jett Steiger and Lana Kim, who produced “Atropia” via banner Ways & Means, said it’s all about brands trying to find authentic ways to engage with consumers: making content their customers would want to watch, dispatching cool female filmmakers to parties, and using those connections to fuel good PR.

A decade after Mad Men came to an end, some fans are still desperate to see Don Draper (Jon Hamm) and Peggy Olson (Elisabeth Moss) return for another season. In a recent interview, Moss said she holds a similar hope, and that she is always open to reprising the character of Peggy in the future. Both Don and Peggy were Mad Men's two primary characters, navigating the acclaimed series through its seven seasons and 16 Primetime Emmy wins. Hamm has since spoofed his character in movies like Unfrosted, but many fans want to see Draper and Olson properly reunite in a revival.

During a recent appearance on Watch What Happens Live! to promote the final season of The Handmaid's Tale, Elisabeth Moss said she is also eager to see what the future holds for Peggy Olson. "Thank you for wanting that," the actress began. "I would never say, 'No,' to anything like that.

Well, it’s not Martin Scorsese’s Kool-Aid movie from “The Studio” but it’s close. In the vein of Jerry Seinfeld’s “Unfrosted” and Eva Longoria-produced Cheeto film “Flamin’ Hot” (plus all of the other brand-centric “biopics” corporations love), Variety reported that a “Hershey” film is in the works with Finn Wittrock portraying chocolatier Milton Hershey.

As “The Studio” parodies outrageous films based on consumer product brands, the timing for the announcement of “Hershey” seems like a serendipitous case of reality mirroring satire.

Wittrock will play Milton Hershey, who built an eponymous candy empire with a philanthropic legacy. Alexandra Daddario portrays Milton’s wife Kitty Hershey; the duo cofounded the Hershey Industrial School in 1909 to provide free education and housing to orphans and underprivileged children. Milton later transferred the majority of his fortune into the Milton Hershey School Trust, “planting the seed for one of the wealthiest educational endowments in the country,...

The FX comedy It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has made a mark in the sitcom space by its penchant for going against all established tropes. The ensemble comedy goes dark in every episode, and every time one hopes that the makers wouldn’t go to a darker space, they double down and go to a space that feels completely off-limits.

Hence, it was surprising for Iasip creator Rob McElhenney when other sitcom creators and actors such as Jerry Seinfeld crib about ‘wokeness’ ruining comedy. The Seinfeld star grieved about political correctness affecting comedy, citing a storyline from his own show that he claimed would not be allowed to air today, before McElhenney called him out.

Actor Jon Hamm rose to prominence with his performance as Don Draper in the critically acclaimed series Mad Men. It ran for seven seasons and earned Hamm multiple Emmy nominations while being regarded as one of the greatest modern cable television shows.

In a recent interview, Hamm discussed his work on the iconic series and was asked about some of his favorite lines from it, which have formed quite a trend on social media.

In response, Hamm picked two of the most savage lines from the series. Here is what Hamm had to say about his favorite quotes from Mad Men, and why the two lines are a standout amid the show’s brilliant writing.

Hugh Grant Heretic Horror Fear (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Hugh Grant and rom-coms were a match made in movie heaven. The floppy-haired charmer ruled the ’90s with Four Weddings and a Funeral, Notting Hill, and Bridget Jones’s Diary. His bumbling, awkward-yet-smooth persona made him the ultimate leading man. But there comes a time when even the king of romance must hang up his crown. And when that time came, Grant took a wild left turn.

Goodbye, lovestruck bookshop owner. Hello, eccentric oddball. He went full throttle into quirky and villainous roles. From the theatrical Phoenix Buchanan in Paddington 2 to a scheming private investigator in The Gentlemen, he reinvented himself brilliantly. His recent roles in Wonka and Jerry Seinfeld’s Unfrosted prove he’s having fun—and audiences love it.

But there was one genre he avoided like the plague: horror. His only brushes with the spooky side were The...

Unfrosted might not be fully accurate in its portrayal of the race to create the first toaster pastry, but it does capture an essential truth: The more specific nostalgia is, the more universal its appeal. Which is why Unfrosted’s director, co-writer, and star Jerry Seinfeld’s personal passion for the Pop-Tart can be seen through the lens of a subversive yet somehow sweet look back at the ’60s, a time when kids roamed free (and right into dumpsters) and Shakespearean actors moonlighted as cereal mascots.

About that — the mascot in question is Tony the Tiger, and the real-life actor who voiced him was named Thurl Ravenscroft. And while, no, he was not a thespian who specialized in the Bard’s work, that’s the spin Hugh Grant has put on the character in Unfrosted, to great effect. Below, Grant talks to Tudum about playing a “frustrated old actor,” whether...

In the '90s and early 2000s, few leading men could match the unassuming star power of Hugh Grant. After some early roles, mostly in period pieces, Grant broke out in a big way in 1994's Four Weddings and a Funeral, quickly becoming one of the most bankable romantic leads in Hollywood. His status as a box office heavyweight began to slip somewhat in the latter part of the 2000s, and he eventually took a few years away from the business, returning in smaller supporting roles in the 2010s.

In recent years, Grant has started playing more of a certain type of role that he never got to play in his heyday: villains. He's managed to leverage his public persona both on and offscreen to delightful effect, playing antagonists in everything from Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thievesto Paddington 2, culminating in his role in 2024's Heretic. It's a career second act...

Exclusive: Emmy-winning actor, writer, director and producer Dan Levy has signed with CAA.

Levy had been without agency representation since leaving WME in November — at least in part over circumstances related to his upcoming Netflix series — with CAA quickly emerging as his likely destination. That has now been made official.

Levy co-created, executive produces and stars in the new comedy series, which is awaiting green light from Netflix. It is part of the overall film and TV deal Levy and his Not a Real Production Company have at the global streamer that included his film directorial debut Good Grief, which he also wrote, produced and starred in alongside Ruth Negga and Himesh Patel.

Levy is best known for his work as co-creator, writer, director and star of Schitt’s Creek, which swept the 2020 Emmys for its final season with nine wins, seven during the main telecast. Levy took home four that night,...

Wicked and Emilia Perez were named the best edited feature films of 2024 at the 75th Annual Ace Eddie Awards. Winners were announced on March 14, 2025 during a ceremony that was originally scheduled for January 18th. The devastating Los Angeles wildfires forced the delay, and the American Cinema Editors opted for a less formal ceremony that helped raise money for wildfire relief.

On the television side, awards season favorite Shogun, What We Do in the Shadows, and Frasier took home awards. Both What We Do in the Shadows and Frasier earned Ace Eddie Awards for their final seasons, while Shogun is set to return for a second season.

The American Cinema Editors (Ace) has announced its winners for the 2025 Ace Eddie Awards, which recognizes “outstanding editing in 14 categories of film, television and documentaries.”

Emilia Pérez and Wicked won in the feature film categories, while The Wild Robot and Will & Harper won best animated feature and documentary feature, respectively. What We Do in the Shadows, Shogun and Baby Reindeer won in the TV categories, among others.

The 75th annual ceremony celebrating the best editing of the year was originally set to take place on Jan. 18 before it was postponed due to the L.A. wildfires.

At the event, Wicked filmmaker Jon M. Chu received the Ace Golden Eddie Filmmaker of the Year Award; and film editors Maysie Hoy and Paul Hirsch received career achievement awards. Conclave, Dune: Part Two and Emilia Pérez were among the drama feature film nominees while Anora, Challengers and The Substance were included in the comedy film nominees.

Live from New York, it’s Lady Gaga…and she has some things to say. Lady Gaga took on both hosting and music duties on this weekend’s SNL, but it was her opening monologue where she had the most to say, taking a bit of a dig at flop Joker: Folie à Deux and its Razzie wins.

During her monologue while hosting SNL, Lady Gaga said, “Anyway, I’m an actor now. I select films that would showcase my craft as a serious actor, films such as Joker 2. Apparently, people thought it was awesome. Joaquin [Phoenix] and I even got nominated for a Razzie, which is an award for the worst films of the year. So we won worst onscreen duo.” For what it’s worth, they “beat” out Dennis Quaid & Penelope Ann Miller for Reagan, “any two obnoxious characters.

Before her untimely death on Feb. 26, Michelle Trachtenberg was primarily known for her work in front of the camera on such beloved hits as Harriet the Spy, Buffy the Vampire Slayer, and Gossip Girl. However, according to producer Casey Tebo, she was so much more than just an accomplished actress. She was, in fact, "an incredible writer," and now he's making it his mission to bring a screenplay she wrote to life.

Speaking with People recently, Tebo said he was presented with Trachtenberg's script, Toy Monster, by her boyfriend, Jay Cohen. "I don't remember when, but my dear friend Jay Cohen sent me a script she had written called Toy Monster," he told the outlet, adding:

"The only scripts I remember staying with me like that in recent memory were two. Here Comes the Flood by Simon Kinberg and Toy Monster around 2019. Because they were the two best, by a landslide.

Madame Web, Megalopolis, and Joker: Folie a Deux were the big “winners” at the 2025 Golden Raspberry Awards, Hollywood’s annual celebrations of the year’s worst movies.

Arriving a day before the Academy Awards, the 45th annual Razzies handed Worst Picture to Madame Web, which earned (and deserved) three Razzies; the critically reviled Spider-Man spinoff also “won” Worst Actress for Dakota Johnson and Worst Screenplay.

The world of comedy has no shortage of stars, and there are many seasoned and upcoming stars who have made a name for themselves. When it comes to financial success, one would think that the seasoned actors like Jerry Seinfeld or Adam Sandler would be way ahead of the recent comedy school graduates. However, that is far from the truth; as per 2025 rankings, Kevin Hart has surpassed them all.

Hart, apart from being an actor and comedian, is also a producer, host, and more, and has accumulated a massive net worth thanks to his many ventures. Recently, he has been named the third highest-paid actor of 2024, shocking fans with his meteoric rise to success.

Here’s Who Took Home The Golden Raspberry At Razzies 2025 (Photo Credit – Facebook)

Hollywood’s 2024 movie lineup was a mix of blockbuster triumphs and box office disasters. While films like Inside Out 2 and Deadpool & Wolverine shattered records and earned critical acclaim, others failed to impress, leaving audiences and critics underwhelmed. The industry celebrates cinematic excellence with the prestigious Oscars as award season arrives. However, ahead of this year’s Oscars, we have the Razzies 2025.

Just a night before the Academy Awards, the Golden Raspberry Awards, commonly known as the Razzies, shine a less flattering spotlight on the year’s worst films. This year’s winners (or losers) have been announced, and some of Hollywood’s biggest names have found themselves on the receiving end of these dubious honors.

Madame Web Becomes The First Comic Book Movie After Nine Years To Win The Worst Movie Award

The biggest “winner” of Razzies 2025 was Madame Web,...

In 2019, Joker won Joaquin Phoenix an Oscar, and in 2025, Joker 2 took the actor straight to a Razzie. A downfall no one could have predicted, yet here we are. What started as a career-defining moment with his Oscar-winning performance has now taken a sharp turn.

Joker 2 walked away with two Golden Raspberry Awards, winning in the categories of “Worst Prequel, Remake, Rip-Off or Sequel ” and “Worst Screen Combo.“

From Oscars to Razzies, a Joker’s journey…

Joker: Folie à Deux didn’t just flop, it practically danced its way into the Razzies. The musical sequel to Todd Phillips‘ Oscar-nominated Joker racked up a brutal seven nominations, despite the Razzies initially miscounting and saying six (still didn’t cover up the shame though).

With the 97th Oscars just days away, celebrating the best movies and performances of 2024, the 45th Razzies is highlighting the worst of the worst. Among the films nominated for Worst Picture, Madame Web took home the top prize.

Among the other films nominated for the Golden Raspberry for Worst Picture were the highly anticipated sequel (and highly disappointing), Joker: Folie à Deux; Francis Ford Coppola's bizarre Megalopolis; big-budget (and bigger bomb) video game adaptation, Borderlands; and the Reagan biopic with Dennis Quaid. But it was Madame Web that came out as the winner. Or would that be the loser?

The Oscars will honor the best movie of the year this Sunday, but the infamous Razzie Awards have crowned the “worst” of 2024’s films.

Sony’s much-derided superhero film “Madame Web” has the (dis)honor of winning three Razzies, including worst picture, actress for Dakota Johnson and screenplay. “Joker: Folie à Deux,” another divisive superhero entry,” led with seven nominations and took home screen combo for Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga and prequel, remake, rip-off or sequel.

Francis Ford Coppola won for directing his big-budget epic “Megalopolis,” and star Jon Voight won supporting actor for the film — shared with his turns in “Reagan,” “Shadow Land” and “Strangers.” Coppola’s “Megalopolis” received six nominations, which was tied for second-most nods with “Madame Web,” “Borderlands” and “Reagan.”

The famed filmmaker responded to his Razzies on Instagram, saying “box office is only about money, and like war, stupidity and politics has no true place in our future.

Francis Ford Coppola's Megalopolis was a risky undertaking that saw the director spend $120 million of his own money to get the movie made. Unfortunately, it was a gamble that didn't pay off, at least not at the box office, where the picture wound up taking in just $14.3 million dollars. The bad news continued for Coppola when his passion project failed to get nominated for a single Oscar this year, but there was one awards ceremony that saw it nominated for several trophies: The Razzies.

Coppola won the award for Worst Director for Megalopolis at the 45th Golden Raspberry Awards, and he took to social media (seen below) to give his acceptance speech, in which he slammed a "gutless" Hollywood that he says is "terrified of risk." He also commented that the box office success of a film should have no bearing on its artistic merits. "I am thrilled to...

The results are in on the 2025 Razzie Awards where the year’s “worst” movies are recognized and awarded.

The annual ceremony, which traditionally takes place just ahead of the Oscars, went down on Friday (February 28).

Going into the event, Borderlands, Joker: Folie a Deux, Madame Web, Megalopolis and Reagan led the field of nominees with six nods a piece. After it was all said and done, Madame Web took home the most “wins,” receiving three trophies.

Francis Ford Coppola "won" Worst Director at the Razzie Awards for his ambitious, self-financed epic Megalopolis. And he actually accepted the "honor," letting the Razzies and Hollywood know what he thinks about them in an unfiltered social media post. "I am thrilled to accept the Razzie Award," he stated, "when so few have the courage to go against the prevailing trends of contemporary moviemaking!"

Coppola, a five-time Oscar winner, continued, "In this wreck of a world today, where Art is given scores as if it were professional wrestling, I chose to Not follow the gutless rules laid down by an industry so terrified of risk that despite the enormous pool of young talent at its disposal, may not create pictures that will be relevant and alive 50 years from now." He said it was an honor to "stand alongside a great and courageous filmmaker like Jacques Tati who impoverished himself completely...

The 45th Razzie Awards results are in. Sony’s Madame Web is the clear winner/loser of this year’s dragging of cinematic mediocrity with three wins, including Worst Picture, Worst Actress for Dakota Johnson, and Worst Screenplay. The Razzie results arrive two days before Oscar Sunday when films that some consider the best of the best have their chance to shine.

Madame Web taking the top prize is unsurprising given the movie’s abysmal quality. It was my worst film of 2024 and a Golden Schmoe nominee for worst movie of 2024, only to be beaten by Todd Phillips’s Joker: Folie a Deux. Dakota Johnson hardly tried to defend the film during its PR tour, saying she “probably will never make anything like it again.” To be fair, she enjoyed working with her castmates, who, despite circumstances, gave Madame Web the old college try, but the film turned into something...

Madame Web is your Worst Picture of 2024, according to the Razzie Awards, which were unveiled this morning. Its star Dakota Johnson also was dishonored, as was its screenplay, making it the only three-time loser at the 45th Golden Raspberry Awards. The full list is below.

Joker: Folie à Deux and Unfrosted claimed two Razzies apiece, the latter for stars Jerry Seinfeld and Amy Schumer, and Francis Ford Coppola was named Worst Director for his passion project Megalopolis, and the pic’s Jon Voight also was named Worst Supporting Actor.

Five-time Oscar winner Coppola acknowledged the “victory” on Instagram today, writing in part: “In this wreck of a world today, where Art is given scores as if it were professional wrestling, I chose to Not follow the gutless rules laid down by an industry so terrified of risk that despite the enormous pool of young talent at its disposal, may not...

The winners have just been announced for this year's Golden Raspberry Awards, also known as the "Razzies." They include a big "win" garnered for Francis Ford Coppola, but the famed director had a good sense of humor about the acknowledgment.

Per THR, the full list of Razzie winners was unveiled on Friday, just ahead of this year's Academy Awards ceremony. The annual nominations acknowledge the "worst" movies, filmmakers, and performances from the prior year, and there was no shortage of comic book adaptations up for big honors this year. However, when it came to Worst Director, Francis Ford Coppola got the win for his polarizing, big-budget feature Megalopolis. Taking to Instagram, Coppola commented on the revelation, noting how he nevertheless remains proud of the film, along with himself for taking some risks outside the standard Hollywood movie formula.

While film fans will have to wait until Sunday to find out the winners of the 2025 Oscars, the worst in film this year, the winners of the 2025 Razzies, have been revealed.

Topping this year’s awards with three wins, including worst picture, is Sony’s critically panned box office bust Madame Web.

Madame Web also won worst actress for star Dakota Johnson and worst screenplay.

Johnson previously spoke out about her experience with Madame Web, saying the script radically changed from what she initially read and that she was unlikely to “do anything like it again.”

“It was definitely an experience for me to make that movie,” Johnson told Bustle in an interview that was published a few weeks after the film was released. “I had never done anything like it before. I probably will never do anything like it again, because I don’t make sense in that world.

Kate Hudson has had a robust career, but “Running Point” marks a first for the actress. Believe it or not, this is her first leading TV role.

Now streaming on Netflix, the series focuses on Isla Gordon (Hudson), as she’s unexpectedly given control of her family’s basketball team, the Waves. Though a fictional team and story, “Running Point” is loosely based on Lakers president Jeanie Buss.

Here are all the major players you’ll need to know in the series.

Netflix Isla Gordon (Kate Hudson)

Isla Gordon is the sole daughter of the Gordon family, and is taken fully by surprise when her oldest brother hands her the reins to the team. She’s played by Kate Hudson, known for films like “Almost Famous,” “How to Lose a Guy in 10 Days,” and many, many more.

Mindy Kaling is back with Running Point. She has been a singular comic voice on television for the past fifteen years. Her Fox and Hulu series The Mindy Project, which you can also find streaming on Netflix, was one of the funniest sitcoms of the decade. Then came the semi-autobiographical Never Have I Ever, a hilarious coming-of-age story unlike anything else on television, whether streaming or network.

However, Running Point is nothing like those shows because it’s just another run-of-the-mill comedy. The series is not particularly funny, relying too heavily on excessive exposition and basketball lingo that isn’t executed well. It’s pleasant enough but ultimately a gigantic letdown, given the cast and the talent involved, particularly behind the camera.

Exclusive: QC Entertainment, the company behind Get Out and BlacKkKlansman, has completed the Victoria, BC shoot on horror film The Casket Girls with four major additions to the cast: Mike Colter (Evil), Raúl Castillo (Smile 2), Matt Frewer (Perry Mason), and Thomas Lennon (Reno 911!).

As previously announced, Gabrielle Union leads the ensemble. Lennon also co-wrote the screenplay alongside Robert Ben Garant, his partner on Night at the Museum and numerous other projects, with revisions by Keith Cooper (Anything for Jackson) & Justin Dyck (Anything for Jackson), who directed the film.

The Casket Girls is inspired by true events involving a group of young women sent from France to New Orleans to become brides to French colonists in the early 1700s. They arrived with small chests, or “caskets” of their belongings, hence the name given by locals. According to legend, upon the girls’ arrival, the homicide rate in New Orleans rose dramatically,...

Start spreading the news – James Marsden wants to play Ol’ Blue Eyes himself, Frank Sinatra. So, would Marsden have the world of a string in the role or would he get under our skin?

Speaking with The Post, Marsden said the inspiration he gets from the ring-a-ding-ding era of singers has drawn him to such a project. “I’ve always loved emulating some of the old crooners, like Bobby Darin and Frank Sinatra and Dean Martin. I always thought there were so many interesting stories of Frank Sinatra’s life that could be played. And for whatever reason, you’ve never really seen a movie about him.”

That’s not entirely accurate, as Frank Sinatra has been portrayed on screens both small and big a handful of times. First there was Philip Casnoff in 1992’s TV movie Sinatra (earning a Golden Globe nomination), which seems like a risky movie considering...

After 50 seasons on NBC, only 167 people have joined the coveted cast of “Saturday Night Live” with a select few sticking around for 10 or more seasons.

The sketch series has kickstarted several cast members’ careers to a new heights, some so big you may have forgotten they started on the show: Billy Crystal, Robert Downey Jr., Ben Stiller, Laurie Metcalf and Julia Louis-Dreyfuss, to name a few.

But several cast members’ careers are defined by the impact of the sketch show. Kenan Thompson has spent 22 seasons on the show, almost half of the series’ tenure.
