The 2025 NAACP Image Awards nominations have been revealed, with The Piano Lesson, the Malcolm Washington-directed film adaptation of August Wilson’s play starring Danielle Deadwyler and John David Washington, up for 14 nominations, the most of any film this year.

Sunday’s 2025 Golden Globes was yet another disappointing night for Oscar hopeful Anora. Though the Palme d’Or-winning film from Sean Baker went into the evening with five nominations, tied with The Substance — which won best actress in a musical or comedy for star Demi Moore — Anora went home empty-handed. Other films with multiple Golden Globe nominations that were shut out Sunday night include four-time nominee The Wild Robot, which had been expected by some pundits to win the best animated feature category; three-time nominee A Complete Unknown, though star Timothée Chalamet got some love during host Nikki Glaser’s…

An emotional scene unfolded inside the ballroom of Santa Monica’s Hotel Casa del Mar on Saturday afternoon as Film Independent hosted its annual Spirit Awards nominee brunch. The event is typically a casual and cozy beachside affair filled with actors, auteurs, producers, press, executives and other industry insiders in attendance to toast the annual awards show while the organization doles out grants to rising filmmakers. And while the reflection looked similarly this year, a cloud hung over the festivities due to the absence of Film Independent president Josh Welsh, who died just days ago on New Year’s Eve following a private…

For much of the past two decades, if not longer, Hollywood relied on PG-13 fare to rally the masses. Slapping a big-budget event pic with a PG rating could alienate older kids, teens and young adults (the latter are the most frequent moviegoers). Case in point: Remember the choice to change the rating from PG to PG-13 for the fourth and fifth Harry Potter movies? The franchise saw a spike in grosses for films that had the more mature rating. The past year upended this long-held theory, with PG fare — including Universal’s smash hit Wicked — accounting for as…

It was, as Tilda Swinton would say — gazing across the table one Saturday afternoon in November at the Soho House’s Luckman Club in West Hollywood — a room of “scorching glamour.” Amid the heat of all that charisma, there were three cute canines sniffing around: Zendaya’s mini black schnauzer, Noon; Demi Moore’s micro chihuahua, Pilaf; and Mikey Madison’s chihuahua puppy, Jam. The occasion for the gathering of Oscar frontrunners and the dogs who love them was THR’s annual Actress Roundtable, which this year convened Angelina Jolie (Maria), Zoe Saldaña (Emilia Pérez), Madison (Anora), Moore (The Substance), Swinton (The Room…

Little progress has been made for women and people of color as directors in Hollywood, according to a new study by USC‘s Annenberg Inclusion Initiative. In a year that was hoping to signal recovery following the 2023 writers and actors strikes, 2024 saw no major changes for women directors of top-grossing movies, according to the study. Of 112 directors, 13.4 percent were women, nearly equivalent to 2023’s 12.1 percent. However, there has been some progress since 2007, when 2.7 percent of directors were women. “The film industry has demonstrated that it can increase the percentage of women directors and hold…
