After 8 Years, Ben Affleck’s Thriller Regains Popularity On Netflix. (Photo Credit – IMDb)
After eight long years since its triumphant reign in cinemas, the mighty saga of Ben Affleck’s action-thriller, “The Accountant,” rises again, casting its shadow upon Netflix. During the week of March 25-31, the film seized the fourth throne on Netflix’s Global Top 10 chart, commanding 13.2 million hours of loyal viewership and 6.2 million devoted followers. Yet, it found itself trailing behind the recent Netflix epics, including the enchanted “Irish Wish” of Lindsay Lohan and the captivating “Damsel” of Millie Bobby Brown, each reigning supreme for three and four weeks, respectively.
Theatrically released back in 2016, the electrifying action-thriller introduces Ben Affleck as the enigmatic Christian Wolff, a maestro of mathematics and a certified accountant with a knack for straightening out financial chaos in the shadowy realms of crime. Alongside Affleck, the film features the talents of Anna Kendrick,...

Released back in 2016 and starring Ben Affleck, Anna Kendrick, J.K. Simmons, Jon Bernthal, Jeffrey Tambor, Cynthia Addai-Robinson, John Lithgow, and Jean Smart, The Accountant was a major hit for Affleck and director Gavin O’Connor. The movie successfully combined Affleck’s autistic accountant, Christian Wolff, with an action-filled storyline that had both fans and critics praising the movie. And while we’ve known that a sequel is in the works for some time now, Collider exclusively reports that the filming of The Accountant 2 is set to begin in Los Angeles next week.
This was confirmed by one of the movies’ main actors, J.K. Simmons, who sat down for an interview for Collider and said the following:
“Yeah, I head to LA in a little over a week to do some rehearsals and pre-production and start shooting my chunk of it. I’m not even sure, I think they start...

Did You Know? Scarlett Johansson Was Offered To Play A Transgender Man Role!(Photo Credit –Instagram)
Scarlett Johansson is one of the most versatile actors Hollywood has been blessed with. She’s played a superhero, Black Widow, in Marvel but also entertained fans with projects like Jojo Rabbit and Ghost In The Shell. ScarJo could have been seen as a transgender woman but had to opt out of the film due to casting controversy. Scroll below for all the details!
In 2018, Ghost In The Shell director Rupert Sanders offered the movie Rub & Tug to ScarJo. She was supposed to bring the life of an American transman gangster and massage parlor owner Dante Tex Gill to the big screens. The actress accepted the role, but the big announcement did not go very well with the LGBTQ+ members of Hollywood.

Death Of Stalin
The Death of Stalin, 11.15pm, Great Movies, Monday, December 11
Armando Iannucci may have cut his teeth on biting satire about British politics but he proves just as adept at rattling the absurdity of Russian state roulette as the politburo descends into farce after the demise indicated by his film's title. Like a Grand National of Russian politics, everyone is jockeying for position, including the sharp-witted Kruschev (Steve Buscemi), chief of police Beria (Simon Russell Beale) alongside Malenkov (Jeffrey Tambor), who is not the sharpest tool in the box, and Molotov (Michael Palin), who has really had enough of all this. The cast, which also includes Jason Isaacs, Andrea Riseborough and Paul Whitehouse, runs as wide and deep as the humour is cutting and pointed. The vantablack of satire.

Gavin O’Connor’s The Accountant brought Ben Affleck in a different kind of action role. The film ended its run with a worldwide total of $155 million and a sequel was announced, but struggled to gain traction. The Accountant starred Ben Affleck as Christian Wolff, a mathematical savant with more affinity for numbers than people. Behind the cover of a small-town Cpa office, he works as a freelance accountant for some of the world’s most dangerous criminal organizations. The film sported an impressive cast that included Jon Bernthal, John Lithgow, J.K. Simmons, Anna Kendrick and Jeffrey Tambor.
Industry insider Daniel Richtman has confirmed that The Accountant 2 is now a go with Amazon producing the film. Gavin O’Connor will return to direct with Ben Affleck reprising his role. Back in 2021, O’Connor appeared on the CinemaBlend podcast where he revealed that he had just closed the deal for the sequel.

If one were to rank all the major streaming services by queerness, Amazon Prime Video would be a pretty tough one to pin down.
On the one hand, you have to give credit where credit is due: One of the service’s very first stabs at original programming was “Transparent,” which in turn was one of the first shows to star a trans main character. That show now has a lot of baggage, but it’s hard to its understate historical significance.
Beyond the thorny topic of “Transparent,” Prime Video does have a good track record of releasing shows with LGBTQ characters and centering their narratives on queer themes; in particular, many of their shows focus on queer women, refreshingly avoiding the centering of gay men that defined queer TV for decades. This spring, the streamer dropped a phenomenal limited series retelling of David Cronenberg’s “Dead Ringers,” starring Rachel Weisz as twin lesbian gynecologists.

Although Bradley Cooper is taking on more serious roles as of late, the Maestro star is not opposed to revisiting his past role as Phil in The Hangover franchise.
The actor opened up about reprising his role in the Tod Phillips comedy that he starred in 2009 alongside Ed Helms, Zach Galifianakis, Heather Graham, Justin Bartha, Ken Jeong and Jeffrey Tambor.
“I would probably do Hangover 4 in an instant,” Cooper said during an appearance on The New Yorker Radio Hour. “Just because I love Todd, I love Zach, I love Ed so much, I probably would.”
Despite Cooper not objecting to returning to The Hangover, he doesn’t think the director would be down for another sequel.
“I don’t think Todd is ever going to do that,” Cooper added.
The Hangover follows Phil (Cooper), Stu Price (Helms), Alan Garner (Galifianakis) and Doug Billings (Bartha) as they travel to Las Vegas...

On Nov. 17, 2000, Universal released the Jim Carrey-starring live-action adaptation of the Dr. Seuss classic How the Grinch Stole Christmas in theaters, where it would go on to gross $345 million globally. The Hollywood Reporter’s original review is below:
While doing a big-screen live action remake of a beloved animated TV chestnut can no doubt be a daunting task, Ron Howard will never have to worry about his take on Dr. Seuss’ How the Grinch Stole Christmas being mistaken for anything resembling an instant holiday classic.
It’s not so much that the reported $120 million-plus production goes wrong somewhere along the way, but rather, it never goes right. The tone, which seemingly changes by the minute, is off from the start and leaves an utterly charmless trail of half-baked ideas and misguided attempts at subversive edginess in its wake.

The episode of Revisited covering Hellboy II: The Golden Army was Written by Emilie Black, Edited by Ric Solomon, Narrated by Niki Minter, Produced by Tyler Nichols and John Fallon, and Executive Produced by Berge Garabedian.
Following the beloved Hellboy adaptation that was released in 2004 by Guillermo Del Toro, fans wanted more. As reviewed on a previous video, that one is excellent, so it was not surprising when the sequel was announced. Thus, in 2008, Hellboy II: The Golden Army (watch it Here) was released, and it ruled!
Let’s start with the rating here and it’s a complicated one for me. It’s actually hard to rate it because my reviewer brain, the part of me that is highly cinematically educated wants to give it an eight out of ten, which isn’t bad, but my heart wants to say it can’t be rated on a normal scale.

If the thought of life without the Bluths makes you as blue as Tobias’ body paint, take heart: Arrested Development is still streaming on Netflix. The comedy series was scheduled to leave the streaming platform earlier this year, but a last-minute licensing deal means it’s still yours for the bingeing on its 20th anniversary this November 2. Arrested Development ran for three seasons on Fox between 2003 and 2006, telling the story of the dysfunctional Bluth family: Lucille (Jessica Walter) and George Sr. (Jeffrey Tambor); their adult children, Gob (Will Arnett), Michael (Jason Bateman), Lindsay (Portia de Rossi), and Buster (Tony Hale); their son-in-law, Tobias (David Cross); and their grandchildren, George Michael (Michael Cera) and Maeby (Alia Shawkat). The show ran for two seasons on Netflix between 2013 and 2019 — to diminishing returns. All the episodes of the revival are in the bottom 30 percent of IMDb’s fan ranking. On the other end of the ranking,...

Months after scoring his first Emmy notice for playing a fictionalized version of himself on “Jury Duty,” James Marsden is seeking recognition from the Screen Actors Guild for the same meta performance. Since he is, of course, eligible as both a solo actor and cast member, his lifetime SAG Award nominations total could soon rise to seven, with this possibly being his third Best TV Comedy Ensemble outing. Based on the fact that his previous two bids came for his work on as many programs, he now has a strong shot at blazing a trail as the first man to earn SAG ensemble mentions for three different comedy series.
According to Gold Derby’s 2024 SAG Awards odds, the actors from “Jury Duty” are comfortably ranked fifth in the comedy ensemble race with the support of 60% of our prognosticating users. On the Amazon Freevee original, Marsden ostensibly acts as a Los...

Industry insider Daniel Richtman is firing up the old rumor mill this Monday by saying Disney is looking for Elvis filmmaker Baz Luhrmann to helm its live-action adaptation of Tangled. While there has yet to be an official word from Disney about Luhrmann boarding the project, rumblings about a live-action adaptation of Tangled have circulated for weeks. In addition to Luhrmann potentially eyeing the director’s chair, Richtman says Florence Pugh is up to play the lead with sentient locks.
It’s worth noting that even though Richtman’s prediction track record is impressive, industry vet Jeff Sneider says Richtman’s been ill-informed about details related to Disney‘s live-action version of Tangled. While I could see Luhrmann directing, I find it hard to believe Pugh would star as Rapunzel. What do you think?
In Disney’s 2010 animated masterpiece, the magically long-haired Rapunzel spends her entire life in a tower.

“Poker Face” fan-favorite Natasha Lyonne received a Best Comedy Actress Emmy nomination this year alongside Quinta Brunson (“Abbott Elementary”), Rachel Brosnahan (“The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”), Christina Applegate (“Dead to Me”) and Jenna Ortega (“Wednesday”). As of this writing, Lyonne is in last place to win at Gold Derby, with less than 3% of our prognosticators backing her. However, the fact that she recently gained the favor of the Television Critics Association proves she should be taken much more seriously. Are we underestimating her at the 2023 Emmys?
Given Lyonne’s status as the very first regular acting Emmy nominee from any Peacock program and her show’s absence from all other major categories, her doubters initially had a leg to stand on, but that isn’t the case anymore. Her TCA Award victory for Individual Achievement in Comedy is an undeniably big deal and gives her many statistical advantages that should cause her competitors and naysayers concern.

Malcolm Mowbray, the British director of “A Private Function,” died June 23, producer Deniz Erel confirmed to Variety. He was 74.
Mowbray was known for directing “The Revengers’ Comedies,” “Meeting Spencer,” “Out Cold” as well as the 1984 feature “A Private Function.”
Maggie Smith, Michael Palin, Richard Griffiths, Denholm Elliott, John Normington and Tony Haygarth starred in “A Private Function,” which Mowbray co-wrote. The dark comedy followed the citizens of a small English town in 1947 who were awaiting the wedding of Princess Elizabeth and Prince Phillip. The citizens had to ration their food, but the royal celebration was the one exception. They gathered to prepare and raise a pig for the celebratory meal — but a couple, Smith’s Joyce and Palin’s Gilbert, decide to steal the pig in an act of rebellion. The film garnered six BAFTA wins, including original screenplay and best film.

Peppermint wants back on “RuPaul’s Drag Race.” She famously was runner-up in Season 9 when Sasha Velour took the crown after her iconic rose petal-filled finale lip sync.
“I would love to go on ‘All Stars,’” Peppermint tells me on this week’s episode of the “Just for Variety” podcast. She was asked to compete in 2018 but was already booked for the Go-Go’s Broadway musical, “Head Over Heels.” “I will happily go onto the show if they invite me,” Peppermint says. “It is quite expensive and quite an investment, but I do think it could be worth it.”
Peppermint will next be seen in “A Transparent Musical,” opening May 23 at the Mark Taper Forum in Los Angeles. She plays Davina, a role originated on the “Transparent” television series by Alexandra Billings. Peppermint recalls having “two-person watch parties” with her music producer when the series first premiered on Amazon in 2014.

Marshall died March 17 of lung cancer at her home in San Miguel de Allende, Mexico, her friend and mentor, Emmy-nominated writer-producer Barry Kemp, said. She served as a staff writer on Newhart, which he created, from 1982-84.
Marshall was the third wife of Doc Severinsen. She married the colorful Tonight Show bandleader and trumpet player in 1980 and was with him for nearly 40 years through 2013.
Marshall also created the 1988-89 CBS sitcom Coming of Age, which starred Paul Dooley, Phyllis Newman, Alan Young, Glynis Johns, Kevin Pollak and Ruta Lee. The comedy, set in an Arizona retirement community, opened with Severinsen performing the boisterous big band number “Sing, Sing,...

Bob Odenkirk looks to double his chances at the Emmys this year by entering the Comedy Actor race for “Lucky Hank.” This could mean he gets nominated in the Drama and Comedy Lead Actor categories. For an actor with a long-established career in comedy, it seems fitting he’d make the field of jokers.
“Lucky Hank” is the new AMC dark comedy, where Odenkirk plays the college professor, William Henry “Hank” Devereaux, Jr. At the beginning of the show’s pilot episode, Hank rants in class about his institution being a “middling college” and exclaims to a student, “The fact that you’re here means you didn’t try very hard.” The fallout of this causes Hank to be voted out as Chair of the English department. These ramifications lead to conversations with his wife (Mireille Enos) about moving to New York where she has an exciting job opportunity. However,...

All 7 seasons of the NBC comedy 30 Rock are available to binge on Hulu. Tina Fey created the show inspired by her experiences on Saturday Night Live, though the world of Tgs was wilder than SNL. 30 Rock was both a Hollywood industry satire and a universally relatable workplace comedy with career and dating foibles.

Netflix must have found the money in the banana stand because Arrested Development won’t leave the streaming service after all.
It was reported in February that all five seasons of the acclaimed comedy series would be pulled from Netflix on March 15th due to the end of a licensing deal. That day came and went with Arrested Development remaining on the service. The first three seasons of Arrested Development were produced by 20th Century Fox, with Netflix reviving the series for two more seasons. Vulture reports that a new licensing agreement was worked out between Netflix and Disney’s 20th Television, allowing the streaming service to keep the series. As part of the agreement, Hulu will give up the rights to the first three seasons of Arrested Development, making Netflix the exclusive home for the Bluth family. In return, Disney will be able to sell the linear TV right to the series,...

Netflix has decided it’s keeping “Arrested Development” on its platform, reversing a previous announcement that indicated the series would depart in March.
All five seasons of the sitcom starring Jason Bateman were slated to leave the streaming platform on March 15. The Netflix landing page originally confirmed the last day to watch the series as Tuesday, March 14.
But Netflix and 20th Television reached a new licensing deal for the show, keeping it on Netflix. Hulu will also give up streaming rights to the show’s first three seasons later this year, exclusively uniting all of the series under the Netflix roof.
Arrested Development, from 20th Television and Imagine Television, was one of Netflix’s first original comedies. The series, which aired for three seasons on Fox, was brought back to life on Netflix in 2013 with a fourth season and a fifth season that was split into two parts in 2018 and 2019.

Netflix will be the exclusive streaming home to all five seasons of Arrested Development in the U.S. later this year, The Hollywood Reporter confirmed on Friday.
Though the final two seasons of the sitcom were created as a co-production between Netflix, 20th Century Fox Television and Imagine Entertainment, Netflix was previously expected to lose all five seasons of Arrested Development on March 15 due to the end of a licensing deal, but the show was ultimately never removed.
The renegotiated deal, first reported by Vulture, will result in all five seasons remaining on Netflix, while the first three seasons will leave Hulu, a spokesperson for the Disney-operated streamer told THR. It’s not immediately clear what date the show will exit Hulu. According to Vulture, Disney — whose 20th Television controlled the rights — will have the ability to sell the linear TV rights to its own cable networks or an outside company.

Sitcom favorite “Arrested Development” isn’t leaving Netflix after all, thanks to a new deal with Disney.
The exit of the series, which began on Fox and was continued at Netflix, was reported last month, with both editions of the Bluth family saga set to be removed entirely on March 15. Eagle-eyed fans noticed that the series, which starred Jason Bateman, Jessica Walter, Michael Cera, Tony Hale and Jeffrey Tambor, was still available.
Netflix will now become the exclusive subscription streaming home of the Mitchell Hurwitz-created series, which means that Hulu will have to give up rights to the sitcom’s first three seasons, according to Vulture.

Jason Sudeikis is the two-time defending Emmy champ. He has won Best Comedy Actor the last two years in a row for playing the title coach in “Ted Lasso.” But has he finally met his match? Jeremy Allen White has been on an awards romp so far this season for playing a beleaguered chef in “The Bear.” And according to our odds, it’s a tight race.
Based on the combined predictions of thousands of Gold Derby users as of this writing, Sudeikis gets leading odds of 37/10. He’s backed by 16 of our Top 24 Users who got the highest scores predicting last year’s Emmy noms and by 16 of the All-Star Top 24 who got the highest scores when you combine the last two years’ prediction results. Indeed, Sudeikis is a strong front-runner. He won in 2021, which was impressive enough, but then in 2022 he faced off against a two-time winner, Bill Hader (“Barry”), and prevailed again.

With the Community movie coming to Peacock it’s a good time to revisit the six seasons before the movie. When you graduate from the series like the study group graduated Greendale, you may want more. Here are some other shows that offer their own kind of surreal, self-referential live-action comedy if you liked Community.

The medical comedy Scrubs predates Community on NBC. Narrated by new resident J.D. (Zach Braff), Scrubs could break the fourth wall at any time within J.D.’s head. These included fantasy sequences, which isn’t how Community broke the fourth wall, but allowed Scrubs to get surreal.
Scrubs did have its own movie within Sacred Heart Hospital though. J.D. was writing a horror script called Dr.

After recently pulling off her second consecutive Best Comedy Actress Emmy win for HBO Max’s “Hacks,” Jean Smart is now looking to retain the same title at the Screen Actors Guild Awards. Like Julia Louis-Dreyfus in 2018, she is the only current solo SAG Award nominee who is also a reigning comedy Emmy champ, and she could further emulate the “Veep” star by achieving back-to-back wins from both organizations in a single awards season. This would mark the 22nd instance of a comedy Emmy winner individually triumphing at the SAG Awards less than a year later.
One factor working in Smart’s favor is that 16 of the previous 21 comedy Emmy-to-sag Award translations have involved lead TV academy honorees. Last year marked her entrance into this club, the female subset of which was established in 2006 by “Desperate Housewives” star Felicity Huffman and has since grown to include Tina Fey, Louis-Dreyfus, Rachel Brosnahan,...

It's not a secret that Hollywood has a really sordid history with the way transgender characters have been presented on film. While bigoted pundits like to pretend that trans people and trans representation in entertainment is somehow a new concept, films like "Myra Breckinridge" were shocking and subverting audience expectations over half a century ago. Unlike the transgender media of our current era that often put cis men like Jared Leto, Eddie Redmayne, and Jeffrey Tambor in drag, "Myra Breckinridge" instead chose to cast Raquel Welch, an international sex symbol at the time, in the titular role.
The film was an adaptation of Gore Vidal's controversial book of the same name, a title that was equal parts bestseller and banned text. It's one of the earliest known novels to feature a protagonist who has undergone gender affirmation surgery and dissects themes of feminism, gender performance, America's unhealthy relationship with toxic masculinity,...

Just last year Steve Martin’s best comedy actor SAG Award nomination for the inaugural season of “Only Murders in the Building” made him the oldest first-time contender in the history of the organization’s male TV categories. Now that he has been recognized for the Hulu series’s second batch of episodes, he has another chance to surpass Jeffrey Tambor as his solo category’s all-time oldest winner. At 77, he would also be the second oldest man to ever win any individual SAG Award for TV acting.

Looks like the money in Netflix’s banana stand has run out. All five seasons of “Arrested Development” — including the two seasons produced specifically for Netflix — will depart the streamer on March 15, a Netflix spokesperson confirmed to IndieWire.

After initially running on Fox for three seasons, “Arrested Development” was canceled in 2006. In 2012, when Netflix was still relatively new to producing its own projects, the streamer elected to revive the series. Co-produced with 20th Television and Imagine Entertainment, Season 4 premiered in 2013 and the fifth and final seasons premiered in two installments between 2018 and 2019.
While the “Arrested Development” landing page on Netflix is already alerting viewers that March 14 is the last day to watch the series, that still seems to be subject to change.

Comedy fans would say Netflix is making a huge mistake.
The streaming service is removing all five seasons of the Emmy-winning comedy series “Arrested Development” on March 14, as reported by What’s on Netflix. It will be one of the most significant removals of a Netflix Original series to date.
“Arrested Development,” a single-camera comedy from creator Mitchell Hurwitz, ran for three well-regarded but low-rated seasons on Fox between 2003 and 2006. After its cancellation, its reputation as a cult classic grew, thanks in no small part to its availability on Netflix’s then-nascent streaming platform. It became so successful on Netflix that the streaming service commissioned a fourth season, which premiered in May 2013. A “remix” of Season 4 hit Netflix in 2018, followed by a fifth and final season released in two halves in 2018 and 2019. The revival seasons did not reach the critical heights of the original run, and the fifth season was...

The revival seasons did not reach the critical heights of the original run, and the fifth season was...

Two decades after he initially became a Screen Actors Guild Award nominee and 13 years after he won Best Film Actor for “Crazy Heart,” Jeff Bridges has received his first television acting notice from the organization. This Best TV Drama Actor recognition comes for his work on FX’s “The Old Man,” which constitutes the first regular small screen role of his 65-year career. If he succeeds on this bid, he will be only the sixth man to win individual SAG Awards for both film and TV performances.
Aside from his win, Bridges’ SAG Awards resume consists of four film nominations for “The Contender” (supporting), “Seabiscuit” (ensemble), “True Grit” (lead) and “Hell or High Water” (supporting). His challengers in this year’s TV drama actor contest are all, unlike him, also nominated in the corresponding ensemble category. Two of the four are “Better Call Saul” cast mates Jonathan Banks and Bob Odenkirk,...

After appearing in 85 “Breaking Bad” and “Better Call Saul” installments over a period of 13 years, Jonathan Banks has finally earned individual SAG Awards recognition for his portrayal of cop-turned-fixer Mike Ehrmantraut. The veteran performer’s overall first solo nomination from the acting guild is coupled with his third ensemble bid for the latter show, which aired its series finale in August 2022. This means that, nearly a decade after his early “Breaking Bad” departure excluded him from the Season 5B cast’s collective SAG Award victory, he now has a double shot at making up for it.
At 76, Banks can set a new precedent as the oldest man to ever win an individual SAG Award for a continuing TV series. He would surpass respective drama and comedy record holders John Lithgow and Jeffrey Tambor but still rank behind female champs Maggie Smith and Betty White. In the limited series categories, only...

Just hours after “The Bear” star Jeremy Allen White won his first career Golden Globe on Tuesday night, he found himself nominated at the Screen Actors Guild Awards on Wednesday morning. Should he prevail there, too, White would claim the exact same Best Comedy Actor SAG trophy that William H. Macy won three times for “Shameless” in 2015, 2017 and 2018. It’d be the ultimate poetic justice for TV fans, of course, as Macy and White played an estranged father and son, Frank Gallagher and Lip Gallagher, on the Showtime dramedy for 11 years.
There are more similarities between “The Bear” and “Shameless” than you might realize at first glance. Both shows are dark comedies that take place in Chicago, Illinois and center on protagonists dealing with troubling family issues. On “The Bear,” White plays renowned chef Carmen “Carmy” Berzatto, who returns home after his brother commits suicide. And on “Shameless,” the Gallagher...

The site of the day’s carnage is a small village half an hour by car from Sofia, capital of Bulgaria. Under gray skies, Shire-like houses dot a lush green meadow. M.J. Bassett, back hunched, ponytail swinging, tramps across the location for the shoot, which will recount a key moment in the origin story of Red Sonja, the voluptuous comic book heroine known to fans for rallying kinfolk to fight evil while clad in her signature chain-mail bikini. The rain hardens and Bassett, with neither the time nor the budget to linger, sets up the scene. Pyrotechnics are fine, she tells an assistant director, but what really matters is emotional impact. She wants tight, close shots, the children’s painful choices to be clear.
That Red Sonja is shooting at all is a minor miracle. The fantasy epic set loosely in the world of Conan the Barbarian could wind up...

For the first time since Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” began, Steve Martin stands alone. At every televised awards ceremony since the true crime spoof started in 2021, Martin and co-star Martin Short had been nominated together for their performances as neighbors and unlikely amateur sleuths investigating murders in their posh New York City apartment building. They earned dual noms at this year’s Emmys, last year’s Screen Actors Guild Awards and Critics Choice TV Awards, and the Golden Globes for two years running. But this year, Critics Choice head-scratchingly left Short off its list, with Martin as sole nominee from the cast.
While the shocking snub of Short, Selena Gomez and the series at the Critics Choice Awards indicates a cooling-off of the show’s buzzy first season, might it actually clear a path for Martin to take home his first trophy for his charming straight man role of Charles-Haden Savage,...

Dave Grohl and songwriter/producer Greg Kurstin lit some candles and marked the first night of Hanukkah with the return of their “Hanukkah Sessions” series, tapping filmmaker Judd Apatow to belt the big opening number.
Grohl and Kurstin started the “Hanukkah Sessions” back in 2020 with the aim of covering a song by a Jewish artist for each night of the Festival of Lights. With the pandemic, this endeavor was largely confined to the studio, but for 2022 Grohl and Kurstin made a show of it, recording everything live at Largo in...

Netflix launched its ad tier Thursday, and several popular series are missing from the streamer’s library due to licensing restrictions, including originals House of Cards and Arrested Development.
While the titles still appear in the Discover tab and the search function, a small lock icon appears in the top right corner to indicate that subscribers of the Basic with Ads plan do not have access.
As expected, several other series are also not available with the ad tier, including Peaky Blinders, New Girl, The Magicians, The Last Kingdom, The Sinner, Good Girls, Queen of the South, The Good Place, and Friday Night Lights as well as a number of movies from various studios.
House of Cards was Netflix’s first big statement of intent in the originals space. From David Fincher and Beau Willimon, the series, which starred Kevin Spacey as Frank Underwood, landed a two-season order and launched...
