To paraphrase a particularly wise bard, the play’s the thing — but awards are nice, too. The nominees for the 2026 Tony Awards will be unveiled on May 5, injecting some fresh drama into an already-eventful 2025-26 Broadway season. The past few weeks have seen some high-profile debuts, from big-budget musicals like The Lost Boys to star-powered revivals like Joe Turner’s Come and Gone. And don’t forget that Tony voters still have the lingering memory of since-closed fall productions like Little Bear Ridge Road and Marjorie Prime as they fill out their ballots. Ahead of Tony nominations morning, Gold Derby…
President Donald Trump isn’t interested in wearing a bulletproof vest despite surviving multiple assassination attempts. Trump, 79, was asked by reporters at an Oval Office event on Thursday, April 30, whether there had been any talks regarding the president taking the security precaution in future. “I don’t know if I can handle looking 20 pounds heavier,” Trump responded, prompting laughs from several people in the room. Trump was likely the intended target when a shooter reportedly opened fire at the White House Correspondents’ Dinner event, held in the Washington Hilton ballroom on April 24.

Back in February, Hollywood received a message from the future: “I hate to say it, but it’s likely over for us.” This came from Wolverine & Deadpool screenwriter Rhett Reese in response to a clip posted on Twitter by the Irish filmmaker Ruairi Robinson. The AI-generated video, as you’ve almost certainly seen, depicted a fight between Brad Pitt and Tom Cruise atop what appeared to be a Roman ruin set somewhat perplexingly against the New York City skyline. The clip seemed to represent a huge leap forward in AI-generated video, with high production values and realistic facial expression and movement. It looked like a movie. An expensive…

If you’re making a documentary about John Candy, there are a few voices you simply have to have. And for executive producer Ryan Reynolds, Bill Murray was at the top of that list. Speaking after a screening of the Prime Video documentary John Candy: I Like Me at a FYC event for TV Academy voters on Wednesday, Reynolds detailed the bizarre, borderline absurd journey it took to get Candy’s Stripes co-star and good buddy. “Who the hell is supposed to get Bill Murray? He’s like the hardest person on earth to track down,” Reynolds said. “I refused to not get…
8. Before accepting the part, Streep made a very Miranda Priestly-like move. Despite having already collected two Oscars and another 11 nominations by that point, Streep hadn’t quite mastered the art of asking for more pay. But this time, she spoke up. “The offer was, to my mind slightly, if not insulting, not perhaps reflective of my actual value to the project,” she explained to Variety. “There was my ‘goodbye moment,’ and then they doubled the offer. I was 55, and I had just learned, at a very late date, how to deal on my own behalf.” 9. She had…

Appearing in front of a Sydney court via video link from the UK, Collier described the proceedings as a “car crash” that had resulted from a clash of personalities on the independent film, which represents Wilson’s directorial debut. Wilson is being sued for defamation by Charlotte MacInnes, The Deb‘s lead actress. MacInnes claims Wilson tarnished her reputation by alleging that she had made a sexual harassment complaint against The Deb producer Amanda…
