Conclave Leads Nominations (Photo Credit – Instagram)
Hollywood’s award season has already warmed up the new year; the Golden Globes successfully separated favorites from potential surprises, and nominations for SAG and Critics Choice Awards have already been unveiled. Now, the British Academy Film Awards have followed suit.
While Hollywood is fighting the cataclysmic California wildfires, postponing forthcoming ceremonies and extending Academy Awards submission dates, fortunately, all the way across the Atlantic Ocean, the British Isles face no such threat. The British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA) has announced nominees across 26 categories, recognizing outstanding contributions to cinema.
Doctor Who actor David Tennant, last year’s host, will return to lead the ceremony. This year marks one of the most competitive lineups, with no clear frontrunners and several close races. Conclave leads with 12 nominations, followed closely by Emilia Pérez with 11. Anora director Sean Baker achieved a historic six individual nods,...

How did Daniel Craig miss at BAFTA? Is A Complete Unknown coming on like a freight train? Gold Derby experts and editors Christopher Rosen and Joyce Eng break down the 2025 BAFTA Awards nominations on Awards Magnet.
A week after scoring a surprise Screen Actors Guild Award nomination for Best Actor for Queer, Craig was even more surprisingly Awol from BAFTA’s nominations list that has an extra sixth spot. Hugh Grant (Heretic) and Sebastian Stan (The Apprentice) made it in alongside the predicted Oscar top four of Adrien Brody (The Brutalist), Timothée Chalamet (A Complete Unknown), Colman Domingo (Sing Sing), and Ralph Fiennes (Conclave). How could the erstwhile Bond be excluded on home turf? That was always a possibility since Heretic is a greater box office success, and said home turf enormously liked The Apprentice, which converted three of its longlist mentions into nominations. Queer? Craig was its sole longlist showing.

The 2025 BAFTA nominations had its share of snubs and surprises, some less so than others (Denzel Washington missing again is just par for the course now). The final televised precursor — and an industry one to boot — made the acting categories even messier while ostensibly taking other contenders out of the running. Here’s where we’re at with all four races post-bafta nominations.
Best Actor
Golden Globe, Critics Choice, SAG and BAFTA nominations: Adrien Brody (The Brutalist), Timothée Chalamet (A Complete Unknown), Colman Domingo (Sing Sing), Ralph Fiennes (Conclave)
Golden Globe, Critics Choice, and SAG nominations: Daniel Craig (Queer)
Golden Globe, Critics Choice, and BAFTA nominations: Hugh Grant (Heretic)
Golden Globe and BAFTA nominations: Sebastian Stan (The Apprentice)
Assuming the top four are in — as many have all season, and the quartet has not missed a beat — that leaves one spot up for grabs. Craig has occupied that spot in the odds all season long,...

The movie Virus did not officially scuttle across screens until 1999, but its biomechanical horrors first sprang to life a bit earlier. The road to screen adaptation was not straightforward for Navy Seal turned writer Chuck Pfarrer; he first pitched his high concept to Universal Pictures, only to then have it land at Dark Horse Comics. Upon the series’ success, Pfarrer tried his luck again with Universal. This time, though, producer Gale Anne Hurd was there to help get Virus optioned as well as find a potential director.
It was in 1995 that Universal first approached John Bruno about helming Virus. Initially, the visual effects artist was hesitant about directing a feature, and Pfarrer’s screenplay was a major factor in that uncertainty; he found it to be too dense and complicated for his liking. Yet after a talk with colleague and friend James Cameron, Bruno eventually accepted the offer, providing that...

Roll up, awards buffs: shiny trophy season is hotting up, with BAFTA having announced its nominees for this year’s ceremony. And fittingly, it seems BAFTA members might have gathered in robes to submit their votes on little white slips of paper: papal thriller Conclave is the most-nominated film this year, receiving 12 nods including Best Film, Director for Edward Berger, Leading Actor for Ralph Fiennes, Supporting Actress for Isabella Rossellini, Adapted Screenplay and more. Send up the white smoke, people.
Hot on Conclave’s heels is Emilia Pérez, Jacques Audiard’s genre-defying crime-thriller-musical-character-drama, in which a cartel boss undergoes gender-reassignment surgery to begin her new life. The film is nominated in 11 categories. Audiard is nominated for Director, while the film itself is up for Best Film, Adapted Screenplay, Film Not In The English Language. Emilia herself, Karla Sofía Gascón, is up for Leading Actress, with Selena Gomez and Zoe Saldaña...

Wicked, Kneecap, Gladiator II star Denzel Washington, Sing Sing breakout Clarence Maclin, Queer lead Daniel Craig, and The Substance star Margaret Qualley were among the biggest snubs and surprises after the 78th annual BAFTA Awards nominations were announced on Wednesday.
Conclave and Emilia Pérez led all films with 12 and 11 nominations, respectively. Most of the expected Oscar contenders also landed predicted bids with British Academy of Film and Television Arts voters (the complete list of nominees is here). However, the BAFTA Awards snubs and surprises were slightly scooped by the BAFTA Awards themselves. Earlier this month, the BAFTA Awards revealed this year’s longlists in each category, with Netflix’s Emilia Pérez and Focus Features’ Conclave pacing the field with, respectively, 15 and 14 longlist mentions. Other contenders that performed well on the longlists included The Brutalist, A Complete Unknown, and The Substance. Films and performers excluded from the longlists in key categories included Angelina Jolie,...

The 2025 BAFTA Film Awards nominations are in – here’s a look at the snubs and the snub-ies.
With A Real Pain star Will Sharpe and last year’s Rising Star Award winner Mia McKenna Bruce taking on hosting duties, the results are in for the films BAFTA’s 8,100 film awards voters consider the best of 2024.
It’s a lovely afternoon for Conclave and Emilia Pérez, leading the awards with 12 and 11 nominations respectively, and a slightly less lovely afternoon for Daniel Craig (who missed out on a Best Actor nod for Queer) and Denzel Washington, who holds onto his title as a no-time BAFTA-nominee after Gladiator II failed to register with voters.
Among the biggest surprises is the addition of Hugh Grant in the Best Actor category for his creepy-man role in Heretic – together with the three nominations for Coralie Fargeat’s The Substance, 2025 is already showing the horror genre much more love than previous years.

“Conclave” and “Emilia Pérez” lead this year’s BAFTA Film Awards nominations, heading up a diverse mix of talent and titles in a competition where, for the first time in years, there’s no clear favorite in any of the major categories.
“The Brutalist,” “Anora,” “Dune: Part Two” “Wicked” and “A Complete Unknown” are also very much in contention, while the likes of Demi Moore (“The Substance”), Cynthia Erivo (“Wicked”), Jeremy Strong (“The Apprentice”), Ariana Grande (“Wicked”), Selena Gomez (“Emilia Pérez”), Mikey Madison (“Anora”), Kieran Culkin (“A Real Pain”), Yura Borisov (“Anora”), Isabella Rossellini (“Conclave”), Zoe Saldaña (“Emilia Pérez”) and Guy Pearce (“The Brutalist”) are among the 12 of 24 nominated performers — both established and rising — getting their very first BAFTA nod.
Elsewhere, there’s space for BAFTA regulars, such as Saoirse Ronan (“The Outrun”), Hugh Grant (“Heretic”) and Jamie Lee Curtis (“The Last Showgirl”), yet the ongoing quest for BAFTA to...

In the span of a few days, Paris Hilton and her nonprofit, 11:11 Media Impact, have put together $800,000 to put toward Los Angeles wildfire relief efforts, Deadline has confirmed. Already, she’s assigned $150,000 to GoFundMe’s Wildfire Relief Fund, with an eye toward providing 150 displaced Altadena families with immediate cash assistance.
“Cash assistance provides dignity and choice,” Hilton wrote Tuesday in an Instagram story. “Families know best what they need right now — whether it’s clothes, shelter, or medicine. Together, we’re helping families rebuild on their own terms and gain stability during this devastating time.”
Hilton knows well what it is to lose a home, having lost one herself just last week. This was her Malibu home shared with husband Carter Reum, which she announced January 9 was lost to the fires. “Heartbroken beyond words,” she wrote on Instagram. “Sitting with my family, watching the news and seeing our home...

She gained fame as a “scream queen” over 40 years ago, but in the four decades since has proven her versatility in a range of genres. Award-winning activist, author and daughter of two film icons, Jamie Lee Curtis has built an impressive resume over several mediums. And 2022 was an especially wonderful year for her with an acclaimed performance in “Everything Everywhere All at Once” that brought her an Oscar for Best Supporting Actress.
Curtis was born in Santa Monica on November 22, 1958 to actors Tony Curtis and Janet Leigh. After finishing school, she briefly pursued an education in law, but decided to follow in her parents’ footsteps instead. In 1977, she was given a small role in an episode of “Quincy M.E.,” followed by several more small parts and a role in the short-lived “Operation Petticoat,” based on the film which had starred her father. Then she received a part in a low-budget...

The last few years have seen Pamela Anderson making headlines for her makeup-free looks but this Awards season has been all about the star’s turn in Gia Coppola’s The Last Showgirl. Playing an aging Vegas showgirl, there are plenty of parallels between Anderson’s own life and the character she’s portraying. It allows her to pull from experience and really bring forth a heartbreaking performance (even if it’s probably not quite good enough to be winning any awards). You can check out Alex’s review Here.
I was able to talk to the stars of the film, Kiernan Shipka and Brenda Song, to discuss the whirlwind of The Last Showgirl. With the generational theme of the movie, it was interesting to hear their takeaways and what hard truths they had to face.

What started out as severe winds on Tuesday, Jan. 7 quickly turned into several fires blazing across the greater Los Angeles area, with the first big one raging through the Pacific Palisades, where many celebrities have homes. The Eaton fire near Altadena and Pasadena has also taken homes from several celebrities and even some productions like Hacks, as the “side mansion” in which Jean Smart’s Deborah Vance lives was lost.
A mega-mansion from Max’s Emmy-winning show Succession was also reduced to its foundation by the Palisades Fire, according to photos published by the Daily Mail. Still other celebrities like Jamie Lee Curtis have pledged donations toward relief efforts. See all the celebrities who have lost homes in the L.A. wildfires below:

Following the wildfires engulfing Los Angeles area homes and causing mass evacuations, Tyler Perry took to Instagram to express his frustration with home insurers that did not renew policies ahead of the natural disaster. The Madea franchise director described the “gut-wrenching” feeling of watching a daughter use a garden hose to tame a fire swallowing her 90-year-old parents’ home, after their insurance was canceled.

‘Scream 7’ is one of the most highly awaited upcoming horrors. The movie had a difficult production so far. The movie was reworked after directors Matt Bettinelli-Olpin and Tyler Gillett left in August 2023, followed by the departure of stars Melissa Barrera and Jenna Ortega in November.
Neve Campbell confirmed her return to the franchise in March 2024 after missing ‘Scream VI.’ Kevin Williamson, a writer and producer from the early ‘Scream’ films, was brought on as director.
The plot is still a secret, but Neve Campbell revealed the new movie will focus on Sidney and her family, shifting back from the Carpenter sisters seen in ‘Scream’ released in 2022 and ‘Scream 6’ released in 2023.
“We are going to follow Sidney,” Campbell told ‘Entertainment Tonight,’ likening the story to the recent ‘Halloween’ sequels with Jamie Lee Curtis returning as Laurie Strode decades later. “They did pitch the concept to me, and it’s...

“Here are my wishes as I pick up the pieces of what just happened,” Pineda wrote on Instagram.
“80 Black families were displaced. I don’t want the rebuild to kick out this historical community,” she posted, “One of the reasons I wanted to make Altadena my home is that it’s a diverse suburb. So my wish is…Keep Altadena Black.”
“Keep Altadena beautiful, historic. If you had a craftsman like me, honor it. A friend said he was afraid of the rebuild looking cheesy and tacky. He’s right. F**K That. Let’s make it more beautiful than it was.”
“Please foster someone’s animal.

Gerard Butler and O’Shea Jackson Jr. star in the crime thriller buddy movie, which opened in 3,008 locations and reportedly carries a $40m budget. According to PostTrak, males accounted for 63% of the audiences and the over-25 crowd made up 82%.

With “Den of Thieves 2: Pantera” (Lionsgate), Gerard Butler displayed his bona fides as one of the most reliable draws for action releases. Opening at #1 with $15.5 million, it came in a little ahead of projections and led #2 “Mufasa: The Lion King” (Disney).
A routine sequel exceeding expectations is good news early in the year. It slightly improved on the original’s January 2018 opening (at perhaps 20 percent lower ticket prices). The first one had enough word of mouth to triple its first weekend and gross $45 million; the $40 million sequel has a chance to repeat that.
That said, the 2018 film was #3 for its weekend. Last year, this weekend had two debuts — “Mean Girls” and “The Beekeeper” — both of which grossed more than “Pantera.”
The calendar is a significant factor. In many years, including 2023, the second weekend in January is ahead of the Martin Luther King Birthday, a four-day holiday that encourages the first wave of major releases.

Sunday Am Writethru after Saturday update…Lionsgate can relish a No. 1 win in Den of Thieves 2: Pantera this weekend which is now on its way to $15.5M opening, which is $300K more than the start of the 2018 original. Let’s hear it for great dating.
The studio known for counterprogramming found a great release date on the schedule and maximized it. The results here are better than 3-day of Gerard Butler’s last movie with Lionsgate, 2023’s Plane.
It’s interesting to note that the LA market, which is still under siege from the wildfires, still turned out a solid 8% of the nation’s business which is part with its 52-week norm of 7.9%.

It’s been 40 years since Jamie Lee Curtis got her hips busy in the jazzercise scene from the 1985 film Perfect, and now, with the help of Jimmy Fallon, the actor has recreated the iconic moment.
Sitting down opposite Fallon on the Tonight Show stage, Curtis began the segment by recalling some films she’s danced in, like Prom Night and True Lies. Fallon then mentioned the leotard-clad segment from Perfect, showing a clip of the original with Curtis and her co-star, John Travolta, gyrating to the beat of Jermaine Jackson and Whitney Houston’s “Shock Me.”
“That’s a lot of thrusting!” Fallon said of the clip, fanning himself. He then joked that it went on for “five minutes,” to which a laughing Curtis replied, “No, no, that scene went on for, like, seven minutes.”
The two then introduced their skit — calling it “never-before-seen” footage — recreating the moment. Curtis, donned...

The ongoing Los Angeles wildfires have prompted the Mammoth Film Festival to postpone its 2025 event originally scheduled for Feb. 20 to 24 in Mammoth Lakes, California.
“The devastating and unforeseen wildfire tragedies in the state have not only affected the region’s environment and infrastructure but have also impacted travel and attendance capabilities for potential festivalgoers,” the festival, which launched in 2018, said in a statement obtained by The Hollywood Reporter.
The Mammoth fest in California’s Sierra Madre Mountains is used to dealing with snowstorms and high winds, but the historic destruction caused by wildfires in Los Angeles County has only added to the logistical challenges facing the event.
The fires raging across Southern California have left at least 11 people people dead, with more than 12,000 structures burned since the blazes began on Tuesday. The flames have consumed around 56 square miles.

James Woods has revealed that his house is “still standing,” after indicating earlier this week that he’d lost his home in the fires raging across Los Angeles, in what he calls “a miracle.”
“A miracle has happened. We managed to get to our property and our home, that we were told is gone forever, is still standing,” Woods wrote on X Friday, sharing a video from his deck. “In this hellish landscape ‘standing’ is relative, but smoke and other damage is not like the utter destruction around us.”
