Movie Reviews and Previews Pretty people at CCXP I thought that CCXP, the Brazilian answer to Comic-Con, had already happened this year, but CCXP is held every December and it’s only just December now, so I think I’m just remembering December 2022 as, like, two months ago. Time really is a construct, and the pandemic By Sarah • Dec 09, 2024 12:31 pm
Award Season Campaigning The farcical Golden Globes Awards season is in full swing with the Golden Globes nominations just announced, but before we dive into these nominations, there are two points of order to address. Point the first – why are we still doing this? The Golden Globes and their voting body, once called the Hollywood Foreign Press By Sarah • Dec 09, 2024 10:47 am
What Else What Else? TIL Mindy Kaling has THREE kids. Anyway, I try really hard not to have opinions on her situation with BJ Novak. They’re exes, they’re close friends, he’s in her children’s lives. It seems to work for her. Okay. (Celebitchy) To Maria’s point, people should just By Sarah • Dec 06, 2024 04:04 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Jude Law and Nicholas Hoult in The Order Australian filmmaker Justin Kurzel has carved out a niche directing taut psychological thrillers out of true crime stories, exploring less the deeds done than the circumstances that drive men—and it is usually men in Kurzel’s lens—to commit them. With The Order, he turns his eye to America By Sarah • Dec 06, 2024 02:46 pm
TV Updates Lorne Michaels’ night out Technically, it’s the Natural History Museum Gala in New York, but Lorne Michaels is usually there, and so is an SNL-heavy crowd.

Lainey has the definitive answer in the mailbag today, so check your inboxes this afternoon for that. In the meantime, let’s talk about Sabrina’s business. As in, her business business. Because she is By Sarah • Dec 06, 2024 10:01 am
Award Season Campaigning Intro for December 6, 2024 Dear Gossips, Yesterday, Variety posted their matchups for this year’s “Actors on Actors” series, and it’s mostly good and only a little bit ridiculous. Here’s the lineup: * Andrew Garfield (We Live in Time) & Ryan Reynolds (Deadpool & Wolverine) * Ariana Grande (Wicked) & Paul Mescal (Gladiator II) By Sarah • Dec 06, 2024 09:24 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Gothic girlies for Nosferatu A while back I said I was not sold on Lily-Rose Depp as an actor, let alone a leading lady, but then I saw Nosferatu. I will have a full review of that film next week so for now let me say—okay, I’m starting to see it. By Sarah • Dec 05, 2024 11:17 am
Style Checking in on Keira Knightley Keira Knightley became hugely famous in the 2000s—I don’t think I’ll ever forget 1) her first Oscar dress or 2) that tragically millennial outfit she wore to the Pirates of the Caribbean premiere: Please can we stop bringing back Y2K fashion! It was so bad! Anyway, Keira By Sarah • Dec 04, 2024 02:34 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Snow White: What if we just don’t? There is one movie next year that I just don’t want to deal with, and it’s Disney’s live-action remake of Snow White. The movie is four months away and we’re already getting “this press tour is a mess” reporting on Snow White. In all fairness— By Sarah • Dec 04, 2024 10:01 am
Award Season Campaigning Gotham rookies As I mentioned when discussing the Gotham guys, the Bob Dylan biopic A Complete Unknown is just eking into awards competition this year.

Movie Reviews and Previews Gotham Ladies The Gotham Awards continued the all-season trend of 90s icons showing up to every event.

Movie Reviews and Previews Gotham Gentlemen The Gotham Awards were last night in New York, or as I like to call them, the extremely early Oscar predictors. The Gothams aren’t a great bellwether for the Oscars, but the awards are decided by juries of actors and filmmakers, some of whom are Academy members, so it’ By Sarah • Dec 03, 2024 09:57 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Moana + the Witches = Big Holiday Box Office Hello, it is I, the box office doom fairy, back once again to talk about The State Of Things! Which right now is Not Terrible, thanks to the double whammy of family-friendly fare playing during the US Thanksgiving holiday weekend—and perhaps a desire to escape the house and By Sarah • Dec 02, 2024 09:38 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Angelina Jolie in Maria Of late, Pablo Larraín has made a study of iconic women of the 20th century, specifically catching them at dramatic turning points in their lives.
