Richard Gere has never won an Oscar, and if history holds true, he might not be winning one anytime soon. In fact, the actor, who first rose to fame for his turn in films like "American Gigolo" and "An Officer and a Gentleman," didn't show his face at the Academy Awards ceremony for two decades after he was reportedly blacklisted from the awards following a political speech he gave in 1993.

In case you didn't see the moment in question live, it's worth noting that Gere was a sex symbol and a huge deal in Hollywood in the early '90s, and letting him present the Oscar for Best Art Direction was no doubt good for the show's then still-high ratings. When he stepped on stage that night, America was still gripped with leftover "Pretty Woman" fever, and Gere would go on to make some of his best films (including "Primal Fear...

As with leading men, the winner of Best Supporting Actor at the Oscars is usually one of the more seasoned competitors. Of the 88 winners to date, only four Best Supporting Actor champs were in their 20s and just 15 were thirtysomething, including 2021 champ Daniel Kaluuya (“Judas and the Messiah”). The 2024 winner, Robert Downey, Jr., was 58 when he picked up his prize for “Oppenheimer.” He joined 16 previous winners who were in their 50s when they took home the trophy. (Scroll down for the most up-to-date 2025 Oscar predictions for Best Supporting Actor.)

While Kieran Culkin has been acting for most of his 42 years, he really flourished in just the last few years on the family drama “Succession.” He won an Emmy last year for his role as a wayward son and could well win an Oscar as another slacker in Jesse Eisenberg‘s “A Real Pain.”

The tragedy of being the most successful person on a job is that all eyes are trained on the star. For celebrities and filmmakers, that attention and scrutiny increases tenfold due to the nature of their profession. When it comes to Hollywood in the 1990s, Julia Roberts happened to be the most in-demand A-lister after the actress’s interminable acclaim after Pretty Woman.

Soon after, Roberts’ magical reputation spread like wildfire across Hollywood with filmmakers wanting to work with her in every upcoming project. Fortunately for her, the release of Pretty Woman in 1990 was immediately followed by a role opening up in Steven Spielberg’s Disney fantasy adventure film, Hook. What happened soon after would go on to be the stuff of legends.

Expedition Bigfoot: Primal Fear...

On Wednesday, September 4, 2024, at 10:00 Pm, Discovery Channel invites viewers to join the thrilling journey of “Expedition Bigfoot” with the episode titled “Primal Fear.” This exciting installment dives deep into the heart of Northern California’s rugged forests, where the search for the elusive Bigfoot intensifies.

In this episode, Russell takes on the challenging task of exploring a hillside filled with mysterious caves. The dense woods provide the perfect backdrop for the expedition, and Russell’s search is filled with anticipation as he hopes to uncover clues about Bigfoot’s existence. Meanwhile, Bryce interviews a witness who shares a chilling experience of hearing frightening grunts echoing through the trees. This firsthand account adds an eerie layer to the investigation, raising questions about what might be lurking in the shadows.

Additionally, Mireya and Tobe Johnson broaden their search area, aiming to determine if Bigfoot might be mimicking animal sounds. Their exploration...

In the "Star Trek: The Next Generation" episode "The Pegasus", Commander Riker (Jonathan Frakes) is reunited with Admiral Erik Pressman (Terry O'Quinn), his former commanding officer on board a ship called the U.S.S. Pegasus. Pressman is visiting the Enterprise to reveal that Starfleet intelligence has located the missing Pegasus, presumably destroyed 15 years ago. It's their mission to either salvage the Pegasus or destroy it before nearby Romulans can cannibalize its technology.

In some meaningful asides, Riker and Pressman talk about the "final mission" of the Pegasus, and how there are some things they have been keeping secret for the last 15 years, hoping that Starfleet never finds out. Like most Admirals on "Star Trek," Pressman is up to something shady, and he had convinced a young Ensign Riker to go along with it. Because Pressman is played by Terry O'Quinn, audiences were likely suspicious immediately; O'Quinn was an expert...

Exclusive: Netflix has locked down rights to Hurt People, a legal thriller spec from Monarch creator Melissa London Hilfers, sources tell Deadline.

Details as to the plot of the film are under wraps. Written amid last year’s writer’s strike, it marks the rising scribe’s fifth feature spec sale to date. Greg Berlanti and Sarah Schechter are attached to produce for Berlanti/Schechter Films.

While Hilfers most recently created Monarch, a country music drama starring Susan Sarandon and Anna Friel for Fox TV, the writer is a self-professed justice junkie who more often than not, finds her way back to stories with the law at the center, as she has here. Previously a litigator at Cravath, Swaine and Moore Llp, she burst onto the scene with Undone, a legal thriller described as Gone Girl meets Primal Fear, which sold to Parkes + MacDonald and Black Bear in a competitive situation.

“Twisters” is sweeping audiences off their couches and into the theaters.

The standalone follow-up to “Twister” (1996) grossed over $80 million in its first weekend and was the third highest-grossing film of 2024.

Glen Powell, Daisy Edgar-Jones and Anthony Ramos lead the disaster film as a ragtag group of storm chasers. Jones plays Kate Carter, a once disaster-seeker turned to corporate weather pro, while Powell plays Tyler Owens, a viral “tornado wrangler.” The two team up with Javi, a longtime friend of Kate’s played by Anthony Ramos, to tackle the biggest twister Oklahoma’s seen in generations.

The cast also features some newcomers but (spoiler alert!) no cameo from Helen Hunt. For the complete “Twisters” cast and character guide, keep reading.

Maura Tierney is joining the cast of “Law & Order” for Season 24.

Though specific character details are not yet available, Tierney will play a lieutenant in the season, which premieres on NBC on Oct. 3.

Among Tierney’s best known projects is “The Affair,” the Showtime drama in which she played Helen Solloway in all five seasons from 2014 to 2019, which earned her a Golden Globe. Like “Law & Order,” her other major TV roles have been on NBC: “NewsRadio,” the ’90s sitcom in which she played Lisa Miller for all five seasons, and “ER,” the medical drama that starred her as Abby Lockhart in Seasons 6 through 15.

In film, Tierney is best known for “Primal Fear” (1996) opposite Richard Gere and Edward Norton, “Liar Liar” (1997) opposite Jim Carrey and “Primary Colors” (1998) opposite John Travolta and Emma Thompson.

More recently, Tierney recurred as Fiona McKee in the Bryan Cranston-led Showtime legal drama “Your Honor...

Paramount+ with Showtime has fired up a new series titled The Agency for subscribers.

The Agency is an international espionage thriller that is landing some pretty heavy talent.

Here’s everything we know about the upcoming series so far.

What is The Agency About?

The Agency is a fresh take on the critically acclaimed hit French drama Le Bureau des Légendes (The Bureau internationally).

Le Bureau centers on the daily life and missions of agents within France's principal external security service. It focuses on the "Bureau of Legends," responsible for training and handling deep-cover agents on long-term missions in areas with French interests.

Living under false identities for years, these agents' missions are to identify and recruit good intelligence sources.

The Agency follows Martian (Fassbender), a covert CIA agent who has been ordered to abandon his undercover life and return to London Station.

Richard Gere has joined the upcoming espionage thriller series “The Agency” at Paramount+ with Showtime, Variety has learned.

Gere is the latest big name to join the series, after Variety exclusively reported that Michael Fassbender would star in the show and Jeffrey Wright was confirmed as a cast member in June.

“The Agency” is based on the hit French series “Le Bureau.” In the English-language version, Fassbender stars as Martian, described as “a covert CIA agent ordered to abandon his undercover life and return to London Station. When the love he left behind reappears, romance reignites. His career, his real identity and his mission are pitted against his heart; hurling them both into a deadly game of international intrigue and espionage.”

Gere will star as Bosko, said to be “the London Station Chief with a storied past after serving as an 8-year undercover agent,” per the official character description.

The decade of the 1990s was indeed fruitful for suspenseful thrillers that are now inscribed in cinema history. If you miss those years’ movies, here is some good news for you: here are 7 flicks that are gonna thrill you even now, almost 30 years later.

1. Misery (1990)

First comes a masterpiece based on Stephen King's psychological novel about a writer who becomes a prisoner of his obsessive fan. It’s clearly one of the best adaptations of the King of Horror’s novels and one of the creepiest thrillers of all time.

2. Basic Instinct (1992)

We all know the title of this seductive crime noir, but if you haven’t seen it yet, why not? Starring Michael Douglas and Sharon Stone, the story of a police detective who falls for his prime suspect is a must-watch for every fan of wild erotic thrillers.

3. Primal Fear (1996)

Next is Richard Gere’s court film...

Courtroom dramas are the ones that fully immerse you into the growing suspense and the technicalities of trials. The genre’s lovers can agree that it’s truly an experience to peep into the process of maintaining law and order and to try to figure out who is right.

Here are 5 worth-watching court dramas, picked by Reddit and available for watching on Prime Video.

12 Angry Men (1957)

First comes Sidney Lumet’s masterpiece that paved the way for all modern court movies. Set in one jury room, it follows the case of a young man accused of murder and judged by 12 men. The more they delve into the case, the more disagreement between them arouses, while they need to abstract from their own values to render a verdict.

Primal Fear (1996)

Richard Gere-starring thriller focuses on a defense attorney who becomes convinced of his client’s innocence in the case of murdering a Catholic archbishop.

Richard Gere and Edward Norton headline the 1996 thriller Primal Fear, which is coming to 4K Ultra HD Blu-ray in the UK.

Cast your mind back to 1996, assuming you were alive at that time, and not a toddler. This was a time when movie studios – Paramount in particular – were seeking mid-budget thrillers, which had a habit of delivering a very pleasant profit.

In the case of 1996’s Primal Fear, headlined by Richard Gere, the film also unearthed a brand new talent. That’d be Edward Norton, in his first high profile Hollywood role. For taking on the support in what could have been a disposable potboiler, he ended up scoring his first Oscar nomination for the role, and deservedly so.

There’s a lot else to like in the film, too. Gregory Hoblit was directing a bunch of mid-priced films at the time, and we’ve chatted about them and his work,...

Exclusive: With Benedict Cumberbatch departing Searchlight Pictures and James Mangold’s Bob Dylan movie A Complete Unknown following scheduling issues, his replacement has been found, with Edward Norton tapped to play Pete Seeger. He now joins an ensemble that features Timothée Chalamet as Dylan and Elle Fanning on board to play Sylvie Russo. Mangold will direct.

The film is heading into production in New York this March and centers on a young Dylan (Chalamet) who shakes up the music world in 1965 when he pivots to performing with an electric guitar for the first time. Fanning will play the role of Dylan’s early-’60s love interest, a university student and artist.

Jay Cocks (Gangs of New York) wrote the script, with Mangold handling revisions.

When it comes to lone acting Oscar nominations, the category with the fewest examples is Best Supporting Actor. After two consecutive years of there being no new additions to that subgroup, Brian Tyree Henry (“Causeway”) became its 54th member in 2023 after having been largely ignored by other awards bodies over the preceding weeks. He directly followed Tom Hanks, who is the only other entrant from the last five years.

Within the last decade, this club has only grown by seven, with those who preceded Hanks and Henry being Robert Duvall, Sylvester Stallone, Michael Shannon, Willem Dafoe, and Christopher Plummer. 2018 marked the fifth instance of two men accomplishing the feat at once, thus tying the category’s record for most bids of this kind in a single year. Contextually, the corresponding Best Supporting Actress record is three, while that of both lead categories is four.

As it happens, the Best Supporting...

Despite being surrounded by revered Hollywood giants in the industry, Charles Melton has been the talk of this season’s Supporting Actor race. His heart shattering turn as Joe Yoo in Todd Hayne’s scandalous melodrama “May December” has birthed a frenzy of passionate acclaim.

The 33-year-old TV star (“Riverdale”) has raked in a whopping 28 nominations from critics groups. Of these, Melton has won seven, including the New York Film Critics Circle. He also won at Gotham Awards in a combined category over, among others, Oscar frontrunners Ryan Gosling (“Barbie”) and Da’Vine Joy Randolph (“The Holdovers”).

He faces off against Gosling (2nd in our combined odds) this Sunday at the Golden Globes. Gosling benefits from his star power and being part of the most nominated film, “Barbie.” The category leader according to our odds, Robert Downey Jr. (“Oppenheimer”), has equal star power. He arguably has the most of any actor this century,...

The episode of Wtf Happened to This Horror Movie? covering Eye See You was Written by Mike Holtz, Narrated by Travis Hopson, Edited by Juan Jimenez, Produced by Andrew Hatfield and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.

If you’re like me and so many other nineties kids, you may remember Eye See You (watch it Here) as that Sylvester Stallone film you saw late in his career sitting on the shelves at your local Blockbuster or Hollywood Video featuring Sly pointing a gun in a snowy landscape looking just as surprised as you to be there with such little fanfare. Stallone belongs on the “Guaranteed to have in-stock or you get a free rental” Holy shit package wall of the video store or at the very least in an interesting role among an all-star cast like he’d been in with Cop Land a few years previous.

Throughout 2023, we have been updating our “In Memoriam” photo gallery (view above). Scroll through to remember 36 entertainers from film, television, theater and music. Many were winners at the Oscars, Emmys, Grammys and/or Tonys. Here is a closer look at just a few of those we celebrate in our gallery:

Veteran actor Alan Arkin died on June 29 at age 89. He was an Oscar winner for “Little Miss Sunshine” and was also nominated for “The Russians Are Coming, The Russians Are Coming,” “The Heart Is a Lonely Hunter” and “Argo.” He was a six-time Emmy nominee and won a Tony Award for “Enter Laughing.”

Composer Burt Bacharach died on February 8 at age 94. He was a six-time Grammy winner and also won at the Oscars and Emmys. Some of hit songs included “Walk on By,” “I Say a Little Prayer,” “Do You Know the Way to San Jose,” “Alfie,” “What the World...

Andre Braugher’s cause of death has been revealed to be lung cancer, the actor’s publicist confirmed to Variety. Braugher died December 11 at 61 years old. At the time, his cause of death was announced as due to a “brief illness.” Braugher was only recently diagnosed with lung cancer.

Braugher was best known for performances in NBC’s “Homicide: Life on the Street,” for which he won an Emmy, and Fox’s sitcom “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” for which he was Emmy nominated. He also earned critical acclaim for starring opposite Ray Romano on TNT’s dramedy “Men of a Certain Age.” His additional film and TV roles included a ride variety of genres, from “City of Angels” to “Frequency,” “Poseidon,” “Primal Fear,” “Duets,” “The Mist,” “Fantastic Four: Rise of the Silver Surfer,” “Salt” and “The Gambler.”

In the wake of Braugher’s passing, many of his former co-stars took to social...

Andre Braugher, a two-time Primetime Emmy winning actor who made two notable appearances in the Stephen King Universe, has passed away this week at the age of 61.

The actor passed away after a brief illness, CNN reported last night.

Horror fans will remember Andre Braugher as Brent Norton in Frank Darabont’s The Mist, the 2007 adaptation of a Stephen King horror story. Just three years prior, Braugher had entered the world of King by playing Matt Burke in the 2004 “Salem’s Lot” miniseries.

Braugher’s two Primetime Emmy wins came courtesy of “Homicide: Life on the Street” in 1998 and “Thief” in 2006, and he was also nominated four times for “Brooklyn Nine-Nine,” twice for “Men of a Certain Age,” once for “Gideon’s Crossing” and once for “The Tuskegee Airmen.”

Andre Braugher made his feature debut in the 1989 film Glory, and other notable film credits include Murder in Mississippi, Striking Distance, Primal Fear,...

Obituaries are never easy to write, but this one hits particularly hard given the feeling of so much great work still to come: Andre Braugher, who made a name for himself playing a variety of authority figures in dramas and comedies has died following a brief illness. He was just 61.

André Keith Braugher was born in Chicago in 1962. The prodigious student attended the prestigious St. Ignatius College Prep in his hometown, then earned a BA from Stanford University and a master*s degree from Juilliard — he received scholarships to all three schools.

He considered medicine as a career but saw performing as more exciting. His initial work, as with so many others, was on the stage, in Public Theater Shakespeare in the Park productions in New York City, playing parts in various productions over the years.

His film career was solid, including roles in Glory, Primal Fear, Spike Lee's Get On The Bus,...

Andre Braugher, the two-time Emmy-winning actor who led a sense of grace, gravitas, and (when appropriate) humor to shows like "Homicide: Life on the Street," "Men of a Certain Age," "Brooklyn Nine-Nine," and "The Good Fight" has died. Deadline confirms that the actor passed away Monday after a short illness. He was 61 years old.

Braugher was reportedly born and raised in Chicago to an equipment operator father and a postal worker mother but attended Stanford University before graduating from Juilliard's drama school. His first on-screen role was a big one: Braugher played a Union soldier in the 1989 film "Glory," where he acted alongside greats like Denzel Washington and Morgan Freeman. The actor soon became a creative force in his own right, as his role as Detective Frank Pembleton on the seminal NBC series "Homicide: Life on the Street" made him a household name for TV fans. "We had a lot of great,...

Andre Braugher, the dynamic actor known for his outstanding work on such shows as Homicide: Life on the Street and Brooklyn Nine-Nine, has died. He was 61.

Braugher died Monday after a brief illness, his longtime rep Jennifer Allen told The Hollywood Reporter. The cause of death turned out to be lung cancer.

Braugher starred as master interrogator Det. Frank Pembleton on NBC’s Homicide: Life on the Street for the first six seasons of the show’s acclaimed 1993-99 run, then played another cop, Capt. Raymond Holt — this time against type and for laughs — on the 2013-21 Fox-nbc sitcom Brooklyn Nine-Nine.

He won his first Emmy in 1998 for outstanding lead actor in a drama series for Homicide after a season that featured one of its most memorable episodes, “Subway.” That was a two-hander in which Pembleton tries to unearth whether a man (Vincent D’Onofrio) pinned between a Baltimore subway train...

Andre Braugher has passed away at the age of 61.

The two-time Emmy-winning actor is best known for his work in TV shows like Brooklyn Nine-Nine as Captain Raymond Holt and Homicide: Life of the Street as Detective Frank Pembleton.

The news was confirmed on Tuesday (December 12) and Andre‘s family is asking fans to make donations to the Classical Theatre of Harlem in lieu of flowers. The late actor served on the board of the theatre.

A cause of death has not yet been provided, but Deadline reports that Andre passed after a “brief illness.”

Other roles that you might remember Andre for include movies like Glory, Primal Fear, City of Angels, Salt, and The Gambler.

Andre is survived by his wife Ami Brabson and their three children – John Wesley, Michael, and Isaiah. We’re sending our thoughts and condolences to his loved ones during this difficult time.

Andre Braugher, the two-time Emmy-winning actor who starred in the hit television series “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “Homicide: Life on the Street,” died Monday after a brief illness. He was 61.

Braugher’s publicist Jennifer Allen confirmed the news of his death to Variety.

Braugher was known for his role as the upright Captain Raymond Holt on the police procedural comedy series “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” from 2013 until 2021. His character’s stoic and no-nonsense personality but deep sense of humanity made him an instant fan favorite of the show, especially when paired with Andy Samberg’s hotshot Det. Jake Peralta in a scene.

He won a lead actor Emmy for his role as Detective Frank Pembleton on NBC’s “Homicide: Life on Street” in 1998, his last year on the series. Braugher’s intense performance made him one of the breakout stars to emerge from the critically beloved police drama that hailed from Barry Levinson,...

Oppenheimer.Much of the praise for Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer has highlighted the strength of its ensemble cast. Cillian Murphy has garnered considerable acclaim for his cold and haunted performance as the eponymous father of the atomic bomb, and so has Robert Downey Jr. as his vindictive foil, Admiral Lewis Strauss. Less has been said about Matt Damon’s supporting portrayal of one of the most pivotal figures in the J. Robert Oppenheimer story: Major General Leslie Groves, the American military man who oversaw the Manhattan Project, and hired Oppenheimer. Gruff, difficult to please, exacting in his military objectives, and occasionally comic, Damon plays him with the understated, reliably solid craft that’s defined his career. And in what has proven to be characteristic of Damon’s screen presence, he plays Groves as less conservative than he first appears: he’s a character who’s willing to gently undercut received...

Cobweb begins a week before Halloween when Peter is woken up by the sound of knocking seemingly coming from inside his bedroom wall. You can’t blame him for being creeped out, with its peeling paint and backyard full of rotting pumpkins the house already looks like something out of a horror movie. And then there’s that weird bulging thing the walls in his room do while he’s sleeping.

We also quickly learn that he has no friends and gets bullied at school. His parents Carol and Mark also won’t let him dress up for Halloween, something that may be related to the disappearance of a young girl a few years ago. Unsurprisingly they also don’t believe him about the knocking.

Matt Damon once found himself auditioning against Edward Norton for a role in Norton’s acclaimed film Primal Fear. But according to Damon, he didn’t come close to snagging the film away from his competitor.

Earlier in his career, Damon was pursuing a starring role in the 1996 film Primal Fear. He was in competition with thousands of actors who all sensed the potential in the role. At the time, Damon was also against another future star for the part in Edward Norton.

Unlike Damon, who already had minor parts in movies, Primal Fear would be Norton’s cinematic debut. The Fight Club star asked casting director Deborah Aquila, through a Fax, for an opportunity to audition. Aquila then gave Norton a chance to prove himself.

Actor Edward Norton has always been passionate about his performances, which has often shown through his work.

But although Norton appreciates the art of acting, there are times when he becomes discouraged with the film industry altogether. And perhaps he’s at his most displeased with Hollywood during the awards season.

Norton has been a pillar of the movie industry since his debut in the film Primal Fear. Since then, the actor has contributed decades’ worth of work to Hollywood, establishing himself a strong legacy of films. As is the case with other actors, his love of acting stems from the ability to walk in others’ shoes.

The following post contains spoilers for "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery."

With "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery," writer-director Rian Johnson has crafted a glaring look at the trickle-down effect of stupidity. Here, common sense is a currency in flux. It holds little value for wunderkind tech billionaire Miles Braun (Edward Norton), so it's not utilized on his island — not by Braun, and not by his guests.

However, like Benoit Blanc, engaging with the great mysteries of Rian Johnson's movie is what keeps our minds sharp. And so, here are the moments in "Glass Onion: A Knives Out Mystery" that make no sense.

Why Didn't Anyone See Through Miles' Bluster?

Miles Braun, the tech disruptor played by Edward Norton, generally makes no sense.
