Since the first scene of Survivor premiered, the fans of Jeff's Probst's beloved reality show have seen hundreds of people play the game. Fortunately for fans who are no longer figuring out which seasons to watch first, Survivor has had some truly great players throughout its many seasons. On the other hand, some players are remembered for things like becoming one of the show's worst winners, being medically evacuated, or being one of the most notorious villains.

Since even Jeff Probst once hated him, he faced really strange criminal charges, and he faked his grandmother's death, Jonny Fairplay is one of Survivor's biggest villains. As a result, fans were excited when Jonny was going to make his Survivor return after becoming notorious. Sadly, however, Jonny's return was ruined by Survivor's producers and Danny Bonaduce.

Romcoms benefit from unexpected casting choices, adding a fresh twist to the genre and attracting new audiences. Actors like Adam Sandler, Kristen Stewart, and Emilia Clarke have all successfully challenged their usual roles in romcoms. A good performance in a romcom can change the way audiences see an actor.

Romcoms tend to go for the same kinds of actors, so it's refreshing to see a new face in the genre, especially one which fans would never have expected. This could either be when a dramatic actor tries out their comedy skills, or when a different type of comedian fancies themselves as a romantic lead. The humor of romcoms is a peculiar genre, so cynical or overly crude comedians don't often fit in.

Because of all the tropes which define the genre, it's a pleasant surprise to see romcoms which shake things up. One of the easiest ways to do this...

Pulp Fiction has all the characteristics of a Quentin Tarantino movie, including various deaths, some more graphic and shocking than others. Following his debut movie Reservoir Dogs in 1992, Tarantino moved on with another crime movie that ended up becoming his big break as a filmmaker: Pulp Fiction. Told in a non-linear style, Pulp Fiction tells four intertwining stories of crime and violence set in Los Angeles, all of them linked thanks to Marsellus Wallace (Ving Rhames), a crime boss and employer of the movie’s biggest characters: Vincent Vega (John Travolta) and Jules Winnfield (Samuel L. Jackson).

Pulp Fiction is packed with action and a couple of twists and turns, with some truly shocking moments, like one involving Marsellus and boxer Butch Coolidge (Bruce Williams), and various deaths. Surely, the latter are not all that surprising given the theme of Pulp Fiction and the fact that...

Ben Affleck shares a funny story about one of his first roles in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie. Released in 1992, the film debuted to mixed reception but performed modestly well at the box office. Still, Buffy the Vampire Slayer became far more well-known for the hit TV series it inspired five years later, created by the movie's writer Joss Whedon.

Appearing on The Late Late Show with James Corden, Affleck was asked if he's ever been cut from a project. After joking he was fired from some construction jobs as a teenager due to a "tardiness problem," Affleck discussed having his only line dubbed in the Buffy the Vampire Slayer movie:

The most humiliating thing was one of my early parts. I got one line. I'd just moved out to L.A...It was a small film called Buffy the Vampire Slayer, not the television version, but the movie,...

On Feb. 13, 1998, New Line unveiled The Wedding Singer in theaters in time for Valentine’s Day audiences. The Adam Sandler and Drew Barrymore rom-com went on to earn 123 million globally at the box office. The Hollywood Reporter’s original review is below.

We’ve all heard him, usually at weddings and bar mitzvahs where alcohol often blurs true appreciation of his talents. Song stylist extraordinaire, he has the uncanny ability to make virtually any song, even “In-a-Gadda-Da-Vida,” sound like “Hot Hot Hot.”

Now, thanks to Adam Sandler, he has been finally given his due in The Wedding Singer, a (for the most part) winning romantic comedy that plays off the per former’s sweet, loopy personality. Despite a saggy middle stymied by sappy good intentions, the picture stands as Sandler’s best effort.

Demographically, expect some thing of a trade-off. While all the lovey-dovey stuff might turn off some of his partying young male fans,...

A restored version of Iván Zulueta’s ground-breaking 1979 film “Arrebato” (“Rapture”) is screening at the Lumière Festival’s International Classic Film Market (Mifc) in Lyon, France, thanks to Los Angeles distributor Altered Innocence and Madrid’s Mercury Films.

The cult film, considered a milestone in Spanish cinema from the post-Franco years, is seen as metaphor for how directors can be consumed by filmmaking. It centers on José, a frustrated low-budget horror movie director trying to complete a film while struggling with drug addiction. When he receives a package from past acquaintance Pedro — a Super-8 film reel and audiotape – José soon finds himself sucked back into the eccentric young man’s vampiric orbit.

“‘Arrebato’ has such a rich mix of horror influences, punk aesthetics, arthouse vibes, and queer cinema history that audiences can’t help being enraptured by this total gem of a film,” says Frank Jaffe, founder and head of Altered Innocence.

Rachael Leigh Cook has joined Miramax’s “He’s All That,” a gender-swapped remake of the beloved ’90s classic “She’s All That.” Cook played lovable art geek Laney Boggs opposite Freddie Prinze Jr. in the 1999 original film.

“He’s All That” stars TikTok star Addison Rae in her acting debut as Padgett Sawyer, in a role inspired by Prinze Jr.’s Zack Siler. Cook will play Padgett Sawyer’s, (Addison Rae) wise and caring mother.

“I’m thrilled to be reunited with so many familiar faces,” Cook said in a statement to TheWrap. “This version has a great new spin that I think people will really enjoy.”

In “He’s All That,” Padgett accepts a challenge to turn the school’s least popular boy, played by “Cobra Kai’s” Tanner Buchanan, into prom king, attempting to avenge herself following a humiliating fallout with her boyfriend. The remake also stars Madison Pettis, Peyton Meyer,...

Golden Globe nominee Patricia Arquette is wondering whether Ricky Gervais has apologized yet for some of his recent tweets that have been deemed transphobic.

“I think it’s a really important conversation for everybody to have. Obviously, I have very strong feelings about protecting the trans community,” Arquette told Variety‘s Marc Malkin on the red carpet of BAFTA’s annual tea party in Los Angeles, Calif. on Saturday. “I just don’t think anything’s funny about making fun of the trans community. They’re really persecuted, so I don’t think it’s funny.”

This is far from the first time Arquette has spoken out for transgender rights. When she won the limited series/TV movie supporting actress Emmy in September 2019, Arquette used her time on stage during her acceptance speech to remember her sister, actor and transgender rights activist Alexis Arquette, who passed away three years prior.

The 71st Primetime Emmy Awards offered up several pleasant surprises — wins for Phoebe Waller-Bridge and Billy Porter, to name two — as well as a few less well-received moments. Here are the top five takeaways from the night.

A Long, Host-Free Affair

Fox followed in the Oscars’ footsteps and opted for a host-less Emmys this year. However, while the film awards show saw a spectacular bump of almost 30% in the ratings after ditching an emcee, there was no such luck for Fox on Sunday night.

Instead, the ceremony opened with a piano falling on Homer Simpson — a fitting image as the ratings also came crashing down. The show slipped to an all-time low of 6.9 million total viewers and a less-than-stellar 1.6 rating among adults 18-49, according to Nielsen. The Oscars achieved a tighter show by cutting out superfluous host bits, whereas the Emmys somehow seemed to drag on forever.

Viewers and critics...

Say what you will about Sunday’s flawed, lowest-rated Emmy show in history — yes it dragged, the host-less strategy backfired and it had its share of embarrassing bits — but boy, were there some powerful moments that I still can’t shake.

There was that show-stopping acceptance speech by “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel” supporting actress winner Alex Borstein, who implored all women to “step out of line!” as her grandmother so boldly did when she was about to be “shot into a pit” at a concentration camp and saved her own life.

I don’t know how it played at home, but I can tell you how moving it was to be in the room when limited series lead actor winner Jharrel Jerome paid tribute to the five real-life exonerated men portrayed in Ava DuVernay’s drama “When They See Us,” and we all leaped to our feet.

Another deserving standing...

Patricia Arquette gave a compelling speech about transgender rights after she won the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie for The Act at the 2019 Emmy Awards.

Observers of the 2019 Emmy Awards on Sunday night may still be scratching their heads over this year's numerous surprise winners. But beyond the upsets, some of the inside references to various Hollywood phenomena might also have left viewers, particularly those who don't work in or closely follow the entertainment industry, with some questions. 

For example, Patricia Arquette honored her late sister, Alexis, while accepting her award, but the best supporting actress in a limited series winner did not elaborate on how her sister died. Additionally, the Last Week Tonight team gave a shout-out to their office dog Bruce ...

The Emmys followed in the Oscars’ footsteps this year by going without a host, the first time the Emmys has done so since 2003. Early in the telecast it was hard to tell whether the change was an improvement, and by ceremony’s end the jury was still out. Past Emmy hosts Stephen Colbert and Jimmy Kimmel joked that the lack of a host could lead to unexpected consequences, like abolishing presenters next. Whatever the future holds, it’s safe to say that this year’s ceremony proved that a hostless ceremony doesn’t necessarily equal a great ceremony.

As the dust settles on the 71st Annual Emmy Awards, viewers are catching their collective breath after a series of surprises during the ceremony. This TV awards season was always destined to be unpredictable with HBO’s Emmy darling “Veep” returning to the race after taking a year off. And both it and “Game of Thrones” were competing for their final seasons.

But they faced a slew of newer favorites like “Fleabag,” “Killing Eve” and “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel.” Our top pundits put forth their best effort to divine the outcomes of these competitive races, but the Emmys lived up to their reputation for providing unanticipated results.

Phoebe Waller-Bridge wins Best Comedy Actress

“Oh my god, no!

Sunday’s Primetime Emmy Awards was an evening of exciting wins, great fashion and, of course, great speeches. The speeches spanned the emotional spectrum from being genuinely heartfelt and touching to absolutely hilarious and full of wit. With the ceremony now in the rearview mirror, let’s take a look at the five best acceptance speeches we heard during the show.

Comedy Supporting Actress: Alex Borstein, “The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel”

Borstein gave one of the best speeches last year and she followed it up with another knockout this year. She started by taking a swig from a minibar bottle with her “Family Guy” co-star Seth MacFarlane and then built on her material from last year by saying that she wasn’t wearing underwear and that her seat should be destroyed. She then brought up her mother and grandmother, both immigrants, and her grandmother who escaped being shot by a guard...

As the country inches closer to the 2020 election, Emmy winners on Sunday night used their time in the spotlight to advocate for political causes. Celebrities such as Patricia Arquette, Michelle Williams, and RuPaul Charles all urged activism from viewers while accepting their awards.

While accepting her Emmy for her supporting role in Hulu’s “The Act,” Arquette gave a passionate plea for transgender rights, turning to her late sister Alexis Arquette, a transgender actress who died in 2016 at age 47. ““Trans people are still being persecuted,” she said. “I’m in mourning every day of my life, Alexis, and I will be for the rest of my life for you, until we change the world so trans people are not persecuted — and give them jobs. They’re human beings, let’s get rid of this bias we have everywhere.”

Updated with backstage comments: Patricia Arquette made an impassioned plea onstage at the Emmy Awards on Sunday for Hollywood and other industries to hire more transgender individuals. This came after she won the Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie category for Hulu’s The Act.

Arquette, who plays overprotective mom Dee Dee Blanchard in the limited series, noted that her career is thriving, but for many transgender individuals, that’s not the case.

“I’m grateful to be working. I’m grateful at 50 to be getting the best parts of my life,” she said to applause.

Arquette went on to tell the audience that she’s heartbroken after losing her sister, trans actress and musician Alexis Arquette, three years ago.

“In my heart, I’m so sad I lost my sister Alexis, and that trans people are still being persecuted,” Patricia said.

“I’m in mourning every day of my life,...

Pass the Kleenex, please. While accepting her award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie at the 71st Primetime Emmy Awards for her work in Hulu's The Act, Patricia Arquette, who's never not prepared to deliver a truly moving acceptance speech, got personal and elicited tears from those in the audience at the Microsoft Theater in Los Angeles when she spoke candidly about her late sister, Alexis Arquette. "Okay, this is all weird, okay? I'm up hear with the Game of Thrones cast. I mean, my Joey is there, my beauty, my Joey King. I can't believe this is happening, to be honored with these fellow nominees who are all so talented and gave a masters class in acting....

Patricia Arquette paid tribute to her late sister, Alexis, and argued for transgender rights during her Emmy acceptance speech on Sunday.

“I just have to say I’m grateful to be working. I’m grateful at 50 to be getting the best parts of my life. And that’s great, but in my heart I’m so sad that I lost my sister Alexis, and that trans people are still being persecuted,” she said, while accepting the award for Outstanding Supporting Actress in a Limited Series or Movie.

“I’m in mourning every day of my life, Alexis, and I will be for the rest of my life for you, until we change the world so that trans people are not persecuted,” she continued. “And give them jobs. They’re human beings, let’s give them jobs. Let’s get rid of this bias that we have everywhere.”

“Alexis was a great actor and had 70 credits and was really brave to live her truth as a trans woman, and they didn’t include her in the memorial,” Patricia Arquette told Et. “I think that was a real slight to the trans community, especially at this time when trans kids can’t even go to the bathroom in the United States of America at school. It says a lot about the lack of inclusion.”

She added, “Trans kids can really never look at anyone and see their heroes,...

Sunday's Oscars left everyone with their jaws on the floor after actress Faye Dunaway accidentally announced La La Land as winner for best picture (Moonlight was the real winner), but that isn't the only thing people are talking about. Alexis Arquette, who passed away from a heart attack back in September, was noticeably omitted from the In Memoriam tribute, and her sister Patricia is disappointed. "Alexis was a great actor, and had 70 credits, and was really brave to live her truth as a trans woman, and they didn't include her in the memorial," she told Et. "I think that was a real slight to the trans community, especially at this time, when trans kids can't even go to the bathroom in the United States of America at school.

During the In Memoriam portion of the show, a photo was shown of Australian producer Jan Chapman with the name Janet Patterson written with it.

Patterson, a costume designer, did pass away in October 2016, but it was Chapman’s face that erroneously appeared with Patterson’s name.

"I was devastated by the use of my image in place of my great friend and longtime collaborator Janet Patterson," Chapman told Variety via email after the Academy Awards.

"I had urged her agency to check any photograph which might be used and understand that they were told that the Academy had it covered. Janet was a great beauty and four-time Oscar nominee and it is very disappointing that the error was not picked up. I am alive and well and an active...

Patricia Arquette is none too happy with The Academy after her sister was left out of the In Memoriam segment on Sunday.

“I’m really bummed,” Patricia told Vanity Fair. “For the in memoriam, they left out our sister Alexis, and she was trans.” Alexis Arquette — who had more than 70 credits to her name, including a role in “Pulp Fiction”– died in September due to complications from HIV at the age of 47.

“We’re living in a time right now where trans kids can’t even go to the bathroom in schools.

Moonlight’s big win at the Academy Awards last night stunned (as well as gratified) many viewers, including Patricia Arquette. The Oscar winner tells Vanity Fair that the film’s victory is heartening to see, especially in light of the bigotry that still exists in the world: “This beautiful story about a gay kid in America in a world that doesn’t accept gay people.” But Arquette also wondered why, when recognizing this stunning achievement of queer cinema—scratch that, of filmmaking, period—the Oscars chose to leave her sister out of the ceremony’s In Memoriam segment.

The late Alexis Arquette was a trans woman and activist, with 70 acting credits to her name. Her sister Patricia admitted she was “really bummed” not to see Alexis’ photo included in the broadcast of the In Memoriam reel, considering her artistic output and advocacy work: ”Her career was cut short, not ...
