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 Ladies The Gotham Awards continued the all-season trend of 90s icons showing up to every event. Nicole Kidman, Demi Moore, and Pamela Anderson, were all on hand last night, keeping up visibility for their films.

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 Three JLos and a Turkey And partridge in a pear tree. Did you just groan? I’m sorry! I just couldn’t bring myself to the delete that sentence.

Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for November 29, 2024 Dear Gossips, It’s funny how a narrative can change in two weeks. It was just two weeks ago that Red One was released, starring Dwayne The Rock Johnson and Chris Evans. The movie topped the box office but it was considered a soft open, coming in at a disappointing By Lainey • Nov 29, 2024 09:32 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Zac and Phoebe are Famous This sounds like the title of a YA book from the 2000s– Nick & Norah’s Infinite Playlist, Naomi & Ely’s No Kiss List, Dash & Lily’s Book of Dares… I used to read them compulsively and haven’t had that much time over the last few years, By Lainey • Nov 27, 2024 12:23 pm
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.

Movie Reviews and Previews Missing Timmy Last week I mentioned in a couple of posts that the first screenings for A Complete Unknown were taking place and that we should be hearing initial reactions.

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. From Venice to Telluride to Toronto to New York to London and LA and, By Lainey • Nov 25, 2024 11:23 am
Movie Reviews and Previews Intro for November 25, 2024 Dear Gossips, The most extra press tour, a press tour for and by theatre kids, has resulted in a major box office win.

Movie Reviews and Previews Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande in Wicked Well, here we are. Once again, I have been subjected to a movie musical, a thing I almost never enjoy. And guess what? I didn’t enjoy it! Again! Although, on the scale of “Cats to Not Cats”, the cinematic adaptation of perennially popular stage musical Wicked is “Not Cats” By Sarah • Nov 22, 2024 01:38 pm
Movie Reviews and Previews Kristen Stewart’s third act Six years ago, I wrote about Kristen Stewart’s intention to direct her first feature film, which she intended to adapt from Lidia Yuknavitch’s memoir, The Chronology of Water.

Quiveration ATJ sticking it out We have been talking about Kraven the Hunter for nigh on eighteen months, which is entirely too many months to allot to one of Sony’s Spider-Man films that doesn’t star Spider-Man.
