Christopher Nolan’s The Odyssey is skyrocketing in two key Oscar categories as the film completes its third blockbuster weekend in theaters. Samantha Morton and John Leguizamo are both up double digits this week in the supporting acting races, per Gold Derby’s experts’ odds. For her role as the sorceress Circe, Morton has climbed 28% to rank second for a nomination in Best Supporting Actress. Leguizamo, who plays Odysseus’ faithful blind servant Eumaeus, has surged 35% and now places fourth for a bid in Best Supporting Actor. There will ultimately be five finalists in each category. Morton is a two-time Academy…
Dallas Cowboys owner Jerry Jones has thrown his full and unapologetic support behind his former quarterback, Tony Romo, in the wake of his July arrest on suspicion of operating a vehicle while under the influence. “Been talking to him,” Jones, 83, told Fox 4 Dallas-Fort Worth’s Mike Doocy on Saturday, August 1. “I love him. I love what he’s about. I love his love of sport. He’s a very, very unique talent.” Jones continued, “The real question is, and I don’t even have to think what the answer is: ‘Do you think Tony Romo knows how to get up when…

Produced on a reported budget of $250 million, The Odyssey also passed the $900 million mark worldwide, and will hit the coveted…
Aaron Rapoport/Getty Images The female buddy cop drama “Cagney & Lacey” was a groundbreaking show that depicted working women in a way that few ’80s series did. It’s a sad irony that actress Meg Foster, who played detective Christine Cagney when the show started, was forced out of the series for sexist, homophobic reasons. Foster was not the first woman to play Cagney. Loretta Swit played her in the made-for-TV movie that kicked off the franchise, though she wasn’t able to star in the series because “M*A*S*H*” wouldn’t let her…
If you’re looking up the credits for Ice Cream Man on IMDB, you might as well skip past director/co-screenwriter Eli Roth and the extensive cast list. Because the real stars of this ultra-gonzo horror film are the folks in the makeup department, especially prosthetics designers Steve Newburn and Adrien Morot (the latter an Oscar winner for his work on The Whale). Sure, Roth came up with the story and co-wrote the screenplay. But his efforts would have been for naught if you didn’t fully believe the sights of young children dismembering their parents’ bodies or playing games of tetherball and…

Olivia Wilde once called costume designer Arianne Phillips “one of the greatest costume designers in film history.” Phillips worked with Wilde on “Don’t Worry Darling,” and when it came to “The Invite,” the pair reunited again. When she got the call, Phillips immediately said yes to the film, which Wilde both directed and starred in. Phillips says of her collaborator, “Olivia has such a consistency in her vision; she’s such a great director to work with. She’s a bit of a unicorn because she has a very distinctive vision and point of view, yet she makes space to graciously take…
