Prolific comedy writer Bill Lawrence gave an update on where his reboot of “Scrubs” is in the development stage while speaking with Variety on the Writers Guild Awards red carpet Saturday in New York.

“Well first thing is, on an interview, asking my wife if she’ll do the show whenever she has time,” Lawrence said while standing next to his wife, “Scrubs” alum Christa Miller.

Lucky for Lawrence, Miller replied: “Of course.”

With that cleared up, the “Scrubs” creator went on to say: “We’re in the process of, the cool thing, putting the writers together. And it’s the best thing in the world to see that some of the most talented writers in the world wrote on that show and they’re all still friends, and my friends. And so [we] have a combination of the old and new. We’re just starting to build it right now.

Spoilers ahead for "Captain America: Brave New World."

Anthony Mackie's first big-screen portrayal as the new Captain America has encountered some turbulence, but what else is new for the Marvel Cinematic Universe? Following its release on Friday, "Captain America: Brave New World" has received an Rt score of 50%, with the common reaction being that Sam Wilson's star-spangled debut in theaters is merely "okay." /Film's Jeremy Mathai described it as a "safe, forgettable rehash" and noted that the latest chapter is "neither brave nor new." Yet, it had every opportunity to be both of those things. With top-tier stars portraying the movie's villains, all entangled in a legitimately compelling conspiracy, there was certainly potential for Sam to reach new heights as the hero Marvel desperately wants him to be. 

Sam has already achieved that, though. He earned his stripes as the McU's new Captain, and an entire series focused...

Wicked, Nosferatu, Conclave, Shogun, The Penguin, Fallout and Squid Game were among the winners at the Art Directors Guild Awards on Saturday night.

The 29th annual Excellence in Production Design Awards were handed out by the Art Director’s Guild (Adg, IATSE Local 800) at the InterContinental Los Angeles Downtown during an event hosted by comedian Rachael Harris.

The Adg wins will have the attention of those looking for signs of who will take the Academy Award for production design. The winner of the Adg’s fantasy film honor have taken home the production design Oscar three times in the past six years, with Poor Things, Dune and Black Panther all going on to win the Oscar. The period film winner also won the Oscar twice during this period, with Once Upon a Time in Hollywood and Mank taking home statues. But in 2023, Babylon took home the Adg period win, but...

“The best thing about Hollywood, other than, obviously, award shows, is that all of us got in the door because someone believed in us,” said Bill Lawrence, accepting the WGA East Herb Sergeant Award in New York tonight, urging the assembled to “go out and find a young person to believe in.”

“Give an hour of your time to someone every month. In the worst case, you get to talk about yourself for an hour,” said the creator of Scrubs, which has a reboot in development, and Apple TV+ hit Ted Lasso, eyeing a fourth season. His long list of credits also includes Apple’s Shrinking and Bad Monkey, Spin City and Cougar Town. He was, however, quite serious, devoting his acceptance speech to helping the next generation of writers, especially in a new landscape of small writing staffs, and young writers jumping from show to show. It’s never been harder.

The NAACP said Thursday that the Wayans family — Keenen Ivory Wayans, Damon Wayans Sr., Marlon Wayans, Shawn Wayans and Kim Wayans and Damon Wayans Jr. — will be inducted into the NAACP Image Awards Hall of Fame.

The honor will be bestowed February 22 at the 56th NAACP Image Awards, which will air live on BET and CBS from the Pasadena Civic Auditorium.

“For decades, the Wayans family has been at the forefront of comedy, breaking barriers and opening doors for waves of entertainers,” NAACP president and CEO Derrick Johnson said. “Their trailblazing work in television, film, and stand-up has transcended pop culture and cemented their legacy in the NAACP Image Awards Hall of Fame. Recognizing their achievements with this induction is a celebration of a multi-generational legacy that continues to advance and uplift communities. The Wayans family has set a standard of excellence, and their influence resonates far beyond the stage and screen.

Apple is preparing the release of an Apple TV Plus app that will work natively on Android mobile devices, according to a report from Bloomberg.

The app is likely to be released via the Google Play Store, where a version of the Apple TV Plus app is already available to install on smart TVs running the Android TV operating system.

Android mobile device users have largely been relegated to watching Apple TV Plus content through the web browser version of the service. A dedicated Apple TV Plus app could help grow subscribers of the TV service, which costs $10 per month and is natively offered on most Apple devices.

Over the past few years, Apple has built dedicated streaming apps for a number of third party platforms, including Roku and Android TV, in an attempt to reach subscribers who...

The return of Captain America to the big screen marks an exciting new chapter for the MCU. Coming after the massive hit that was Deadpool & Wolverine, Marvel is looking to replant its roots with one of its most dependable franchises. Captain America: Brave New World arrives with Anthony Mackie officially taking up the shield for a full movie. While Brave New World covers much of the same ground as The Falcon and The Winter Soldier, solid action and heartfelt storytelling help it rise above mediocrity. However, yet again, Marvel struggles with CGI, and questionable editing makes the two-hour flick feel much longer than it should.

At the top of Saturday night’s PGA Awards, the guild’s co-president Donald De Line made a plea to industry suits in the room to keep production in Los Angeles following the devastating wildfires.

“Now more than ever it’s important that we gather together having just endured the most devastating fires in the history of LA. Sadly many of our members were profoundly affected,” De Line told attendees at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Century City.

“Critical to rebuilding our city is bringing jobs back,” said the Ready Player One and Italian Job producer.

“We are beseeching studios, streamers, financiers, please help bring production back to Los Angeles,” he continued. “The movie business made Los Angeles and now it’s time for Los Angeles to make movies again.”

PGA president Stephanie Allain told the room that the guild established a fund for those who’ve been displaced, having...

Anora won the top prize of best picture at the 2025 Critics Choice Awards, while Emilia Pérez, Wicked and The Substance each captured three trophies.

The Brutalist star Adrien Brody won best actor; Demi Moore won best actress for her work in The Substance; Emilia Pérez actress Zoe Saldaña won best supporting actress and A Real Pain‘s Kieran Culkin, who wasn’t in attendance, won best supporting actor.

Emilia Pérez, currently dealing with the fallout from controversial, recently resurfaced tweets by star and best actress Oscar nominee Karla Sofía Gascón, won two other awards at the ceremony, voting for which closed on Jan. 10, well before Gascón’s past posts emerged. The mood within Santa Monica’s Barker Hangar, where the awards took place, was relatively somber with each win for the Netflix musical. Still, the film took home awards for best foreign language film and best song in addition to Saldaña’s trophy.

After two postponements due to the recent Los Angeles wildfires, the 30th annual Critics Choice Awards were at last held on Friday — and it was a big night for Shōgun.

FX’s acclaimed drama, which went into the evening with the most TV category nods, ultimately won in four of the five categories for which it was nominated, including trophies for Best Drama Series, Actor in a Drama (Hiroyuki Sanada), Supporting Actor in a Drama (Tadanobu Asano) and Supporting Actress in a Drama (Moeka Hoshi). Anna Sawai, however — nominated for Best Actress in a Drama Series — ultimately lost out to Kathy Bates,...

As Michael Urie prepares to get back to work on Shrinking, it will be a bittersweet return to set.

The first-time Critics’ Choice Award winner opened up to Deadline at Friday’s awards show about returning to the fire-ravaged community of Altadena, California next week to film Season 3 of the Apple TV+ series.

“I’ve seen a few scripts for Season 3, and they are very good, very funny. They know how to write for us so, so well now,” he said on the red carpet.

“We start next week, and you know, a lot of our locations are in Altadena,” Urie continued. “So, we’re all really happy to be putting something back into that community again and revitalizing what’s been lost there. It’s such a beautiful neighborhood, such a beautiful part of Los Angeles, and we want to help make that beautiful again.”

When Hannah Einbinder and Michael Urie took the stage at the same time to accept the awards for best supporting actress and actor in a comedy series during the 2025 Critics Choice Awards, they capitalized on the humor of the moment, hilariously talking over one another as they delivered their speeches.

However, both entertainers took a serious moment to address issues of personal importance to them, with Shrinking‘s Urie thanking his parents for openly loving and accepting him and his queer sister, whom he pointed out in the audience, and Einbinder sounding the alarm on the nation’s current climate crisis.

“We are on the brink of a really dark era of climate denial and Chevron scientists knew in the ’70s that plastic recycling was not efficient,” said Einbinder as she began her speech. “They knew that only nine percent of plastic is actually recycled, and even from that nine percent,...

After the Los Angeles fires in late January, many awards events were canceled or pushed back. On Thursday, things seemingly got back under way with the annual AFI Top Ten awards lunch at the Four Seasons, which in effect stood in for the canceled Academy Nominees Lunch, as applause rippled across the room at the announcement of each of the ten film and TV winners and their clips.

Who got the most applause?

Nabbing a rousing standing ovation was L.A. firefighter Timmy Larson, representing the thousands of people who risked their lives to fight the raging fires just a few weeks ago. Next biggest? Harrison Ford, the only AFI Life Achievement Award winner, on hand for Apple TV+’s “Shrinking.” Adam Brody and Kristen Bell’s Netflix series “Nobody Wants This” had a noisy fanbase. And “Sing Sing” is clearly popular.

But at the end of the event, the last movie alphabetically was “Wicked,...

Ahead of a busy weekend on the awards circuit — the Critics Choice Awards, the PGA Awards, the DGA Awards — a veritable Hollywood who’s-who gathered on Thursday to celebrate the American Film Institute’s 10 finest films and television shows of 2024 in a luncheon event rescheduled from a month due to the devastating series of fires that ravaged the Los Angeles area.

And while there were quiet murmurings here and there about Emilia Pérez and the controversy enveloping its star Karla Sofia Gascón, the film was received with warm applause, if not an overabundance of enthusiasm, when it came time to play a clip. The movie was represented at the lunch by director Jacques Audiard, stars Zoe Saldaña, Edgar Ramirez, and Adriana Paz, and composers/songwriters Clément Ducol and Camille. Gascón, unsurprisingly, was a no-show, reportedly holed up in her native Spain after being sidelined by Netflix.

The 2025 AFI Awards Luncheon brought together some of the most-acclaimed actors of the past year!

Wicked cast members Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande, The Bear‘s Jeremy Allen White and Ayo Edebiri, and Nobody Wants This stars Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, and Jackie Tohn were among the celebs in attendance on Thursday afternoon (February 6) at the Four Seasons Hotel in Los Angeles.

This year’s film honorees are Anora, The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, Conclave, Dune: Part Two, Emilia Perez, Nickel Boys, A Real Pain, Sing Sing, and Wicked. The TV honorees are Abbott Elementary, The Bear, Hacks, A Man on the Inside, Mr. & Mrs. Smith, Nobody Wants This, The Penguin, Shogun, Shrinking, and True Detective: Night Country.

Originally slated for Jan. 10 but postponed due to the Los Angeles wildfires, the American Film Institute’s AFI Awards took place nearly a month later Thursday afternoon at the Four Seasons in Beverly Hills.

As always, the event was a starry affair with a guest list that included actors Ariana Grande, Cynthia Erivo, Harrison Ford, Edward Norton, Adrien Brody, Boyd Holbrook, Kristen Bell, Adam Brody, Quinta Brunson, Jesse Eisenberg, Michelle Yeoh, Colin Farrell, Mark Indelicato, Meg Stalter, Ralph Fiennes and Jodie Foster.

Directors included Sean Baker, Denis Villeneuve, James Mangold, RaMell Ross and Edward Berger.

The ceremony opened with footage of the late David Lynch talking about how much he loved AFI. The video ended with a title card that read, “We love you too, David. And always will.”

No surprise, but the Karla Sofía Gascón controversy was a hot topic of conversation. “Emilia Perez” was represented at the luncheon by stars Zoe Saldaña,...

Nearly 15 years after Ugly Betty went off the air, Michael Urie and Becki Newton are giving the show the podcast treatment… again.

The pair recently reminded Deadline they were early adopters of the rewatch trend, recapping the ABC sitcom with a “pioneering podcast” during its original four-season run from 2006 to 2010, before launching their new Still Ugly podcast later this month.

“We talked about every single episode,” recalled Urie. “So, this was inevitable. And then as we’ve gone to the cast to ask them to come be on it, we’re like, ‘We are, as you might imagine, doing another podcast.’ It just feels like riding a bike being together again.”

Developed by Silvio Horta as a U.S. adaptation of the Colombian telenovela, Ugly Betty followed the awkward titular writer Betty Suarez (America Ferrera) as she takes a job as the assistant to Daniel Meade (Eric Mabius), editor-in-chief of the snobbish Mode fashion magazine.

“We Disrupt This Broadcast,” the television podcast co-produced by the Peabody Awards and the Center for Media & Social Impact, will feature several top TV showrunners for its second season, which launched on Thursday.

The first episode features an interview with “Shrinking” and “Ted Lasso” executive producers Bill Lawrence and Brett Goldstein; new episodes will follow every three weeks, with guests including Ben Stiller and Adam Scott (“Severance”), Sharon Horgan (“Bad Sisters”), Tony Gilroy (“Andor”), Jen Statsky (“Hacks”) and Mo Amer (“Mo”). According to an official release, the podcast focuses on shows “that are re-imagining the world and tackling the big issues that move us forward” and “highlights the inner workings and cultural relevance of the shows that are changing all the rules and shaping the future.”

“We are so excited in Season 2 to share more fascinating conversations on topics such as the changing representations on TV of masculinity, immigrants,...

The Peabody Awards and Center for Media & Social Impact have unveiled the all-star lineup for the second-season of their We Disrupt This Broadcast podcast.

Season two, the first episode of which is out today for free across all major podcast platforms, will feature the creatives behind Shrinking, Mo, Severance, Bad Sisters, Andor and Hacks along with more industry figures.

Shrinking showrunner Bill Lawrence and co-creator and writer Brett Goldstein, who joined the cast of the Jason Segel-led Apple TV+ series in season two, are the first guests on We Disrupt This Broadcast.

Subsequent episodes, released every three weeks, will feature Mo Amer (Mo), Ben Stiller and Adam Scott (Severance), Sharon Horgan (Bad Sisters), Tony Gilroy (Andor) and Jen Statsky (Hacks).

The podcast, distributed by public media organization Prx, is hosted by actor-writer-comedian Gabe González with contributions from Peabody Awards executive director Jeffrey Jones and Center for Media & Social Impact executive director Caty Borum.

Get ready, “Ugly Betty” fans. Fifteen years after it went off the air, two of the ABC show’s cast members are reuniting for a special look back at the beloved comedy.

“Ugly Betty” stars Michael Urie and Becki Newton are set to launch “Still Ugly,” a rewatch podcast dedicated to revisiting the series and sharing their memories from the making of it. Produced by Rabbit Grin Productions, the podcast will feature special guest appearances from Urie and Newton’s “Ugly Betty” co-stars, including Eric Mabius, Tony Plana, America Ferrera and more.

“Becki and I have never stopped being really, really close. From the minute we finished the show until now, we have remained in very close contact. We see each other all the time. We text literally every day,” Urie told People on Thursday. “This is an idea that has been in the back of our minds for a long time.

Are the 2025 Critics Choice Awards about to be a repeat of the recent Emmys and Golden Globes?

Television awards faves Hacks, Shōgun, and Baby Reindeer are expected to dominate Friday’s ceremony, which was delayed twice in the wake of the devastating Los Angeles wildfires.

Season 3 of Max’s laugh riot Hacks is predicted to walk away with four trophies: comedy series, comedy actress (Jean Smart), comedy supporting actress (Hannah Einbinder), and comedy supporting actor (Paul W. Downs). In fact, the only category Hacks is expected to lose is Best Comedy Actor … because it doesn’t compete there. Instead, our odds-makers believe Adam Brody (Nobody Wants This) had better start preparing a speech.

Likewise, Season 1 of FX’s historical epic Shōgun has four races locked up, per our rankings: drama series, drama actress (Anna Sawai), drama actor (Hiroyuki Sanada), and drama supporting actor (Tadanobu Asano). The remaining statuette is Best Drama Supporting Actress,...

Jason Segel is best known for his role as the adorable boyfriend Marshall Eriksen in the sitcom How I Met Your Mother. While he has been a household name because of the show, he finally got his feature film breakthrough with the comedy Forgetting Sarah Marshall (last name not related to Himym). He also wrote the script for the film.

One of the most iconic scenes in the comedy is his fully frontal n*de scene at the beginning of the film. Segel’s scene reportedly caught the attention of actor Harrison Ford when he was offered the role in Shrinking. Ford mentioned that he even sent Segel a note after watching his n*de scene in the film.

Branded as a romantic comedy for guys, Jason...

Although many Indiana Jones fans were unhappy with the last installment, Harrison Ford has made his peace with the character.

The Oscar nominee recently shared his reaction to Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny‘s unsuccessful 2023 opening after taking one last adventure as the titular archaeologist in the James Mangold-helmed sequel.

“S— happens,” he told WSJ. Magazine of the film’s poor box office performance. “I was really the one who felt there was another story to tell. When [Indy] had suffered the consequences of the life that he had to live, I wanted one more chance to pick him up and shake the dust off his ass and stick him out there, bereft of some of his vigor, to see what happened.”

Ford added, “I’m still happy I made that movie.”

Dial of Destiny came amid a particularly rough 2023 for Disney, losing about $143 million on the...

Hollywood veteran Harrison Ford remains unapologetic about bringing Indiana Jones back to theaters in 2023, despite the film’s mixed commercial performance. In a candid interview with The Wall Street Journal, Ford discussed his personal connection to the franchise’s final installment and his ongoing acting career.

“Dial of Destiny” marked Ford’s last portrayal of the iconic archaeologist, a role he championed creating despite the movie’s lukewarm reception. The actor revealed he was instrumental in developing the film’s concept, believing there was still an important story to tell about an aging Dr. Jones.

Ford described his vision for the character’s final journey as a deeply personal exploration. “I wanted to show Indy after experiencing the consequences of his adventurous life,” he explained. The film follows an older Indiana Jones searching for a time-altering device, presenting a more reflective version of the legendary character.

Despite the movie’s box office challenges,...

Harrison Ford said he doesn’t regret making “Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny,” despite how poorly the sequel was received by audiences.

“S–t happens,” the longtime actor told The Wall Street Journal, admitting that he was an advocate of the film early on. “I was really the one who felt there was another story to tell. When [Indy] had suffered the consequences of the life that he had to live, I wanted one more chance to pick him up and shake the dust off his ass and stick him out there, bereft of some of his vigor, to see what happened.”

“Indiana Jones and the Dial of Destiny” (2023), was the fifth and final installment to the “Indiana Jones” film franchise and followed Indy on his mission to retrieve a legendary dial that could turn back time and alter history. While the “Indiana Jones” universe was once rich with dedicated fans,...

Shrinking is heading back into production!

The Apple TV+ comedy will begin filming next week, according to one of the show’s stars Christa Miller, who revealed they will return to the filming location of the Pasadena and Altadena area.

This comes after the area was devastated by the Eaton Fire last month, which has now been 100% contained.

“Here’s to new beginnings, resilience, and to the future of Los Angeles as the beating heart of the entertainment industry. Can’t wait for you all to see what we’ve got in store for #Shrinking Season 3...

Shrinking star and music supervisor Christa Miller revealed that Shrinking Season 3 will start production next week in Pasadena and Altadena, where it has always shot, and she stressed the importance of keeping that location after the Eaton wildfire that devastated Altadena last month.

“Next week we start shooting Season 3 of Shrinking in Los Angeles, in the heart of Pasadena, and it’s a really special moment for our cast and crew because not only do we shoot in Pasadena, we film in Altadena as well,” she began in a video posted to Instagram. “After the devastating fires that hit Los Angeles, it feels more important than ever to support all the communities that have been affected.”

Both the Eaton fire, which broke out in Altadena, and the Palisades fire, which leveled many homes in the Pacific Palisades neighborhood of Malibu, were 100% contained Saturday after blazing for nearly a month on opposite ends of Los Angeles.

The Apple TV+ series Ted Lasso premiered in 2020 and aired for three seasons to critical acclaim. The show drew viewers in with exceptional performances, outrageous humor, uplifting tone, and more. There is much buzz on social media about a fourth season of the series. But until then, viewers continue to look for another series to fill the void.

Comedy fans are always searching for another intelligent comedy to keep them entertained. Ted Lasso set the bar fairly high, but the list below will certainly give fans some new series to keep them entertained.

Lessons in Chemistry

This is a period drama with some comedy sprinkled in, but it is an exceptionally underappreciated series from Apple TV+. Based on the bestselling novel by Bonnie Garmus, Lessons in Chemistry follows a brilliant chemist, Elizabeth Zott, who hosts a feminist cooking show in the 1960s where she teaches housewives scientific topics. Sadly, there...

There’s never been a better time to be an Apple TV+ subscriber.

I may be an outie, but “Severance” is still one of my favorite shows of the last few years (not sure what my innie thinks?) and I am So pumped it’s back. It took me a while to get to it (my wife and I just watched the first episode of Season 2 last night), but it did not disappoint. It’s a wonderful feeling to be back at work with Mark, Helly, Irving and Dylan – even the imposing Mr. Milchick gave me a smile. Now, Apple TV+ has been gaining ground for some time, and it’s quickly become one of my favorite streamers for high-end TV shows. With that in mind, here’s a list of my picks for the top 7 TV shows to stream on Apple TV+ right now.

Though one of the men behind the series has shared an exciting update.

Co-creator Bill Lawrence took to social media to provide a filming update about Shrinking season 3. According to Lawrence, production on the new season will start "very soon."

In an interview with the new PBS SoCal digital series Locationland, location manager Danny Finn describes the kismet moment when he discovered that the house used for Freaky Friday in 2003 was still standing and still owned by the same woman. Even better, she was open to allowing it to be used again for Disney’s August 2025 release, Freakier Friday.

“I called and got an old, robotic answering machine, left a Hail Mary voicemail,” Finn recalled. “Two minutes later I got a call from an unknown number and this voice answered, ‘Hi. It’s Me. Yes, I still live here. Same house, new husband, all good.’ So we ended up shooting there, which was wonderful.”

Then, last week, everything changed.

“We’ve since confirmed that that house — along with every house on that block — was lost in the Palisades Fire,” he told Locationland.

In the midst of that life-altering tragedy, Finn...

Jessica Williams On Ford’s Absence (Photo Credit – Instagram)

Here’s a fun fact: Harrison Ford was left out of the Shrinking cast’s group chat. Why? According to Jessica Williams, it’s because Ford doesn’t do texting. In a recent interview, Williams, who earned her first Emmy nomination for playing Gaby in Shrinking, opened up about the group chat dynamics, revealing that Ford’s absence wasn’t due to any drama; it’s just that “Harrison’s definitely not on it. You could say it’s a group chat minus one.”

While it might sound like an oversight, Williams humorously added, “I just don’t think he texts. I don’t even know if he has a phone.” For a man who’s become an iconic part of Hollywood’s DNA, it’s almost refreshing to imagine a tech-averse Ford living life beyond the ping of a notification.

The nominations have been revealed for the 2025 GLAAD Media Awards, and one critically acclaimed LGBTQ+ film is notably absent from the pack of nominees.

The annual awards ceremony will return for a 36th year in 2025. According to GLAAD, it’s goal is to “recognize and honor fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of the LGBTQ community in an ever-expanding and media landscape.”

On Wednesday (January 22), the organization revealed the crop of nominees that would be honored at the ceremony. While projects such as Wicked and Queer were notably featured, Netflix’s Emilia Perez was left off the list.

The snub comes after GLAAD declared that the movie, which stars Zoe Saldana, Selena Gomez and trans actress Karla Sofia Gascon, was “not good trans representation” in a November 2024 essay. The story included reviews from transgender film critics and noted that “inauthentic portrayals of trans people are offensive and even dangerous.”

Emilia Perez...

The 36th annual GLAAD Media Awards nominations list included one significant omission. Netflix’s Emilia Pérez was left off the nonprofit advocacy group’s list of “303 culture-changing nominees across 33 categories, honoring outstanding fair, accurate, and inclusive representations of LGBTQ people and issues in film, television, gaming, publishing, stage productions, music, podcasting, journalism, and more.”

The snub further illustrates the disconnect between LGBTQ media and the entertainment industry over the controversial crime musical from French filmmaker Jacques Audiard. Emilia Pérez is widely predicted to receive several Oscar nominations on Thursday. The movie could set multiple Academy Awards records, including the most nominations ever for an international film and the most nominations for any film. The film’s star, Karla Sofia Gascón, is also predicted to make history as the first openly trans woman nominated for Best Actress. Emilia Pérez has already set a Golden Globes record with the most nominations ever...

The 2025 GLAAD Media Awards nominations have been revealed.

Wicked, Queer, Love Lies Bleeding, Mean Girls and My Old Ass are among the nominees in the outstanding film — wide theatrical release category.

In the TV categories, notable nominees include comedy nominees Abbott Elementary, Ghosts, Hacks, Loot, The Sex Lives of College Girls, Shrinking, Somebody Somewhere and What We Do in the Shadows; drama nominees 9-1-1: Lone Star, The Chi, Doctor Who, Found, Interview With the Vampire, Star Trek: Discovery and The Umbrella Academy; new series nominees Agatha All Along, Black Doves, Brilliant Minds, How to Die Alone, No Good Deed and Palm Royale; and limited or anthology series nominees Baby Reindeer, Becoming Karl Lagerfeld, Expats, Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, Get Millie Black,...

The nominations for the 36th Annual GLAAD Media Awards were announced on Wednesday, totaling more than 300 nominees from some of the year’s most talked-about series, films and TV programming.

“The GLAAD Media Awards were created nearly four decades ago to champion LGBTQ stories amid a deeply hostile and unsafe time for our community.

GLAAD, the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer media advocacy organization, leaned heavily toward smaller independent films in its nominations, with “Wicked” and “Mean Girls” the most high-profile films in the top category. It did not nominate “Emilia Pérez,” the Netflix film about a Mexican drug lord (played by transgender actress Karla Sofía Gascón) who undergoes gender-affirming surgery.

Television nominees included “Abbott Elementary,” “Hacks,” “Loot” and “Shrinking” in the comedy category, “9-1-1: Lone Star,” “Arcane” and “Interview With the Vampire” in drama and “Agatha All Along,” “Diarra From Detroit” and “Palm Royale” in the Outstanding New Series category.

GLAAD also nominated documentaries, reality programs, children’s programming,...

We have the nominees for the 36th annual GLAAD Media Awards, which honor fair, accurate and inclusive representations of the lesbian, gay, bisexual, transgender and queer community in film, TV, music, videogames, podcasts, journalism and more.

But the noms don’t include one of the most talked-about films of 2024 or its trans star. More on that below.

Vying for the Outstanding Wide-Release Film prize are Cuckoo, Drive-Away Dolls, Love Lies Bleeding, Mean Girls, My Old Ass, Problemista, Queer and Wicked. Up for the Limited-Release Film award are 20,000 Species of Bees, Backspot, Before I Change My Mind, Big Boys, Close to You, Crossing, Fitting In, High Tide, Housekeeping for Beginners and A Place of Our Own.

Noticeably absent from the GLAAD noms is Jacques Audiard’s Oscar contender Emilia Pérez, which won the Golden Globe this month, and its trans star Karla Sofía Gascón, who also won a Globe and is...

The NCIS cast may soon see much more of Agent Jessica Knight’s sister.

A standing rumor is that she will play an important part during the second half of NCIS Season 22.

The show has been on hiatus for several weeks, with CBS taking a primetime break from new episodes of its hit dramas.

But the shows soon return, including a new season of NCIS: Sydney and new episodes of Fire Country.

All previous episodes from the NCIS season are streaming on Paramount+. And it might be a good time for fans to re-watch the NCIS fall finale.

The last tidbit we learned was that Agent Nick Torres (Wilmer Valderrama) has a secret girlfriend. And that girlfriend is going to cause some chaos.

Who plays Knight’s sister on the NCIS cast?

Actress Lilan Bowden plays Robin Knight and is set to appear again later in NCIS Season 22.

Robin is Jessica Knight’s sister.

This is a city built by dreamers – and bringing today’s dreamers together as one will lead us to brighter days ahead.”

Firefighters continue attempts to gain control of almost 40,000 acres of ongoing wildfires, which have killed at least 27 people and destroyed more than 12,300 structures.

Updated, 5:41 p.m.: This year’s AFI Awards luncheon will now take place on Thursday, February 6, AFI President and CEO Bob Gazzale announced on Friday evening. Like many award shows around town, they’d been delayed by the L.A. wildfires, which continue to approach containment. The luncheon had previously been dated for Friday, January 10.

“With the encouragement of the community, we will gather our honorees at the AFI Awards luncheon on Thursday, February 6,” said Gazzale. “The spirit of this private event has always been one of camaraderie – not competition – and a moment to celebrate the power of art to heal, inspire and unite. This is a city built by dreamers – and bringing today’s dreamers together as one will lead us to brighter days ahead.”

Previously, January 8: The Annual AFI Awards luncheon scheduled for Friday at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills has been postponed.

The Best Film Ensemble category at the Screen Actors Guild Awards can occasionally be a tough one to predict. Gold Derby’s pundits erroneously thought that 2019’s Once Upon a Time in Hollywood would prevail over Parasite, while 2016’s Hidden Figures was correctly chosen by only one of the editors, experts, or top 24 users — combined. Well, this year’s top race looks to be less of a head-scratcher and more of a coronation, as Gold Derby’s 2025 SAG Awards predictions overwhelmingly favor Wicked to win with 17/10 odds. Talk about popular!

The SAG nominations were announced on Jan. 8, with Wicked leading all other films with five bids: Best Ensemble, Best Actress (Cynthia Erivo), Best Supporting Actress (Ariana Grande), Best Supporting Actor (Jonathan Bailey), and Best Stunt Ensemble. Universal Pictures’ big-budget adaptation of the beloved Broadway stage musical is not expected to win any other trophies with the acting guild, though that’s par for the course,...

With Severance making its long-awaited return and shows like Silo, Shrinking, and Bad Sisters earning positive reviews, Apple TV+ is sneakily making the case that it’s one of the best streaming services ( even in a post-Ted Lasso world). But it can be a hard sell to try out a new streaming service, particularly one that relies so heavily on original programming that newcomers might not be familiar with.

Coach had some great moments in New Girl. Damon Wayans Jr. is currently shining with his role as Derrick in Shrinking and starring opposite his father Damon Wayans Sr. in Poppa’s House, but Coach remains one of his best characters. Coach came and went over the seasons, but when he was around, he had unique friendships with the rest of the New Girl characters. Like everyone on New Girl, Coach was figuring out how to grow up, starting the series as an aimless sports fanatic, and evolving into a driven man with a fulfilling relationship and career.

When Damon Wayans Jr.'s character reappeared in New Girl season 3 after Coach was replaced by Winston, he had to reestablish his old friendships with the guys and build new ones with Jess and Cece. In New Girl season 4, Coach meets May, and after working hard to get her, he ends the season...

Here’s one story you can’t make up about Dick Turpin: his show is dead. Despite a successful and acclaimed first season on Apple TV+, The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin won’t be returning for a sophomore outing. And according to reports, there’s one man to pin it on: the star of the series, Noel Fielding.

As it stands, Noel Fielding – who plays the titular character and truly broke out as part of The Mighty Boosh troupe – is at the center for why The Completely Made-Up Adventures of Dick Turpin won’t press on. As reports claim, Fielding didn’t return after the holiday break in production and headed for France, with a rep for the actor coyly stating, “One of the main cast members who has not been well is not recovered enough to complete the filming.” As vague as that is, everything has been pointing directly to Fielding,...
