Graham joked about the chaos of rushing through airports and worrying about his luggage, which contained his clothes and the Globe. Fortunately, the prized statuette was reunited with him a couple of days later. The unlikely airport adventure added an ironic twist to his big night.

Legendary filmmaker James Cameron has bluntly shut down the decades-old fan argument over whether Leonardo DiCaprio’s Jack could have survived the icy Atlantic with Kate Winslet’s Rose on that floating debris at the end of Titanic.
On The Hollywood Reporter’s podcast, the 71-year-old director expressed frustration with constant questions about the raft scene and stressed that the issue has been thoroughly explored.
Cameron even cited scientific experiments to test if Jack could have lived — and concluded it wasn’t possible under the conditions shown in the movie.
“Don’t ask me about the raft, people!” he quipped, making it clear he’s tired of debating this fan theory.
Despite closing the topic from his side, the iconic conclusion of Titanic continues to spark discussions among audiences worldwide.

Tenacious D’s Jack Black and bandmate Kyle Gass are saying they’ll bounce back after a controversial on-stage joke about an attempted assassination of Donald Trump threw their plans into chaos.

Ashton Kutcher opened up about why he signed on to play a morally twisted tech billionaire in Ryan Murphy’s new FX thriller The Beauty, calling it a rare chance to dive into a complex, psychological role.
He insists his character isn’t based on any real-world moguls like Elon Musk, but instead explores how power and obsession with perfection warp people’s choices.

The series, which debuted January 21 on FX and Hulu, centers on a beauty-boosting drug with deadly side effects that throws society into chaos.
Kutcher’s performance marks a sharp pivot from his usual comedy work and highlights themes about society’s fixation on looks and tech-driven perfection.

Jay Asher, best known as the author of the YA novel 13 Reasons Why, claims that the #MeToo movement was “weaponized” against him and effectively destroyed his publishing career after anonymous misconduct accusations circulated online.
Asher says the allegations — which he denies — led to him being sidelined by publishers, agents and the industry, leaving him professionally and personally devastated.
He argues that his reputation was ruined without formal investigation or due process, and that the fallout from the online claims has cost him work and standing in the literary world.
The controversy ties back to the Netflix adaptation of his book, a series that itself sparked debates about sensitive topics when it debuted.
Asher’s situation highlights broader tensions around how anonymous accusations are treated in the wake of #MeToo and what counts as fair handling in high-profile cultural moments.

Netflix shares slid sharply after the company reported mixed earnings and heightened uncertainty around its blockbuster Warner Bros. acquisition, prompting several Wall Street analysts to cut their stock price targets. Investors were particularly unsettled by a softer near-term outlook and the hefty financial load tied to the deal for Warner Bros.’ studios and streaming assets. Co-CEO Ted Sarandos remains in focus as he steers Netflix through slowing subscriber growth and mounting regulatory scrutiny. Despite beating revenue and earnings forecasts, market confidence dipped, with forecasts trimmed across multiple firms. The Warner Bros. transaction, now under fierce competition and antitrust pressure, remains a key risk factor. Netflix stock now trades well below its recent highs as the industry watches closely.

Los Angeles’ Hollywood is seeing a significant downturn in film and television production, with the number of projects shooting in the city dropping sharply compared to its peak during the streaming boom. Industry data suggests shoot days, on-location work and total production activity are all well below recent norms as studios chase cheaper tax incentives and rival hubs like Georgia, New York and international markets gain ground. The slump has hit even big stars like Tom Cruise, whose projects often rely on L.A. infrastructure and crews. Production declines are partly due to lingering effects from the 2023 SAG-AFTRA and writers’ strikes and rising costs in California. Local unions and lawmakers are pushing for expanded tax credits to lure jobs back, but the industry still faces uncertainty. Hollywood’s long-held dominance is being tested in a brutal economy where incentives and budgets drive location decisions.

Sophie Turner delivers a striking lead performance as Zara in Amazon Prime Video’s new crime thriller Steal, a six-episode series that turns an ordinary London office into the setting for a high-stakes armed robbery.

The plot unfolds when masked thieves storm the pension-fund firm where Zara works, forcing her and her colleague into executing their dangerous demands, blending tension, mystery, and explosive twists.

Newly unsealed legal filings from the It Ends With Us lawsuit show pop star Taylor Swift allegedly calling director-actor Justin Baldoni a “bitch with a tiny violin” in a private text to Blake Lively, igniting fresh controversy around the high-profile Hollywood dispute.

The message, part of a December 2024 exchange referenced by Baldoni’s legal team, was framed as a colorful jab suggesting Baldoni sensed negative media was coming, though Swift’s reps stress she wasn’t involved in the film’s production.

Lively’s side of the texts reportedly shows her and Swift dissecting creative decisions and criticizing Baldoni’s choices, with Swift allegedly offering wholehearted support to her friend.

Baldoni’s lawyers argue these messages indicate coordination and personal attacks against him, while Lively’s camp counters that the texts don’t prove any orchestrated media strategy.

Matt Damon stirred conversation while promoting his new film The Rip, telling The Joe Rogan Experience podcast that Hollywood’s “cancel culture” can feel worse than serving time in prison because the stigma “never ends.”
He argued that some actors would prefer a defined sentence — like “18 months” in jail — and a clear end point, rather than public backlash that follows them indefinitely.
Damon made the comments alongside longtime friend and collaborator Ben Affleck, framing the debate as part of broader industry discussions about accountability and forgiveness.
The actor’s remarks highlight ongoing tension in Hollywood over how celebrities handle mistakes and the lasting impact of online outrage.
Damon’s take has already sparked a mix of praise and criticism online, with some agreeing on the issue of perpetual public judgment and others calling the comparison to jail out of touch.

Hong Kong’s prestigious Film Awards abruptly cut four eligible films — including works tied to outspoken actor Anthony Wong — from this year’s contenders list without explanation, igniting fresh censorship concerns from filmmakers and industry watchers. Organizers also quietly axed the Best Asian Chinese-Language Film category, a move critics say dovetails with growing political pressure on the arts. Protesters argue the omissions disproportionately target films with pro-democracy themes and voices seen as critical of Beijing’s influence. The lack of transparency has left directors and stars questioning whether artistic merit still counts in Hong Kong’s top film honors. Industry insiders warn the controversy could chill future filmmaking and festival submissions.

Peter Claffey, who stars as Ser Duncan “Dunk” the Tall, is front and center in buzz around HBO’s A Knight of the Seven Kingdoms prequel, with showrunner Ira Parker describing the series as a fresh, more intimate Westeros tale that trims the epic scale of Game of Thrones. The spin-off sticks close to Dunk’s journey alongside his squire Egg, leaning into character and humor over grand spectacle. Parker says the six-episode, ~30-minute format lets the story breathe and stay faithful to the original Tales of Dunk & Egg novellas. Claffey’s grounded, humble knight faces a brutal world with quiet resolve, offering a contrast to the usual political chaos of the franchise. The show premieres January 18, 2026, on HBO and HBO Max.

Netflix has unexpectedly canceled the crime drama The Waterfront after only one season, even though it spent five weeks in the platform’s global Top 10 and topped charts for three weeks. The series starred Melissa Benoist, Jake Weary and Holt McCallany, and was created by Scream mastermind Kevin Williamson, drawing strong early viewership that many assumed would secure a renewal. Despite its popularity and solid ratings performance, Netflix opted not to move forward with a second season, reportedly due to lack of sustained social media engagement. The show followed the Buckley family as they navigated crime and survival in small-town North Carolina, blending character drama with gritty stakes. Fans and critics alike were surprised by the decision, given the show’s early success and ensemble cast. The cancellation is part of a broader trend of high-performing series being axed after just one season.

Reality star Ben Affleck—well, technically the Gone Girl actor—found himself at the center of a social media roast from Real Housewives of Salt Lake City cast member Angie Katsanevas after a clip went viral of him saying he didn’t recall meeting co-star Lisa Barlow. Barlow had previously name-dropped Affleck and Blake Lively as the reason she missed filming, claiming she’d bumped into them at SXSW. Affleck, promoting his new film, responded that he likely hadn’t even been to Utah recently and genuinely couldn’t remember the supposed encounter. Katsanevas seized the moment by joking that Affleck may have forgotten Barlow—but definitely remembered her pet poodle, “Celia,” from a previous season drama. The back-and-forth has ignited fresh chatter among Bravo fans, blending reality TV sass with Hollywood star confusion. The episode has made waves online, proving once again that sometimes the gossip beats the show itself.

Actor Matt Damon recently pulled back the curtain on how streaming habits are reshaping Hollywood, telling The Joe Rogan Experience that Netflix now encourages filmmakers to keep repeating key plot points in dialogue — sometimes “three or four times” — to make sure viewers don’t miss the story while distracted on their phones. Damon explained that the traditional action movie structure, with its big set piece in the third act, has been upended by demands for early excitement and frequent reminders of what’s going on. According to him, Netflix wants major action sequences within the first five minutes and more explicit storytelling to hold attention in a home environment where viewers multitask. While Damon worries this could “infringe on how we’re telling stories,” his The Rip co-star and collaborator Ben Affleck argues that not all successful streaming content follows those rules, pointing to projects that trust audience focus.

President Donald Trump announced plans to sign an executive order requiring television networks to grant the annual Army–Navy college football game a dedicated four-hour broadcast window, blocking other college football games from airing at the same time. He framed the move as a way to preserve the rivalry’s traditional December timeslot amid ongoing College Football Playoff expansion discussions. The Army–Navy game has long been broadcast nationally by CBS and is considered one of the sport’s most enduring traditions. Trump’s declaration, shared on his social platform, insists that “the second Saturday in December belongs to Army–Navy,” a statement that has sparked both praise from supporters and legal questions over presidential authority. Critics argue the order could infringe on network autonomy and First Amendment protections for broadcasters. The decision comes as college football power brokers weigh playoff format changes that could otherwise shift key games into the same calendar window.

The latest installment of the 28 Days Later franchise, 28 Years Later: The Bone Temple, starring Ralph Fiennes, opened over the Martin Luther King Jr. holiday weekend with considerably weaker box office returns than expected, grossing around $13 million versus earlier $20 million projections.

Avatar: Fire and Ash continues to dominate the domestic box office while racking up huge global grosses, underscoring its blockbuster staying power. Industry analysts are now speculating that the zombie franchise may need stronger word-of-mouth support or strategic positioning to compete with major tentpoles. Still, the mixed box office start hasn’t dampened franchise plans, with a third 28 Years Later movie reportedly in development.

NBC is attempting to revive the old Hollywood rhythm of pilot season by ordering a fresh wave of test episodes, signaling a return to tradition after years of shifting away from the standard model. The network has green-lit multiple pilots this week — more than it did during much of last cycle — as execs seek to generate new series and reconnect with upfront advertising timelines.
