Movie Reviews and Previews Angelina Jolie on a talk show The reason that’s the title of this post is because that’s what the news is: “Angelina Jolie on a talk show” isn’t something we see that often. In fact, it’s rare. Like over 15 years rare – that’s how long it’s been since she’s By Lainey • Dec 06, 2024 10:50 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.

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. All eyes are on Timothée Chalamet, but we should also be watching his co-star, Monica Barbaro. I will keep saying it until the world catches up—she By Sarah • Dec 03, 2024 02:42 pm
TV Updates Award Season Jake? Jake Gyllenhaal had two pretty big wins this year. Road House, despite Sarah’s hesitations about it prior to the release, turned out to be a good movie (you can read her review here) and at the time became Amazon’s biggest streaming debut.

Gorgessity Angelina and Zendaya at the Gothams As Sarah just wrote in her post about the actress contenders at the Gotham Awards last night, this is one of the most competitive Best Actress Oscar races we’ve seen in years.

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.

Amazingness Hugh Grant’s glorious misery It was six years ago, during the Golden Globes, that LaineyGossip became a Hugh Grant fansite. Duana was the one who wrote the post back in 2018 during our Globes coverage – Hugh was there as a presenter, his job was to introduce Dunkirk, one of that year’s nominees, after By Lainey • Nov 25, 2024 12:57 pm
Style Angelina non-stop It’s been non-stop promotion for Angelina Jolie over the last three months as we’ve seen her promote Maria the way others might promote a Marvel/Disney tentpole – only with a muuuuuuch smaller budget.
