Reba McEntire helped get Super Bowl Lviii between the Kansas City Chiefs and San Francisco 49ers underway with her rendition of the national anthem at Allegiant Stadium in Las Vegas.
McEntire’s emotive, affecting rendition lit up the crowd and moved some of the football players — including the Chiefs’ defensive tackle Chris Jones — on the field to tears. As her voice reached a crescendo with “the rockets red glare” lyric, fireworks lit up the circumference of the top of the stadium and the rousing rendition was punctuated by fighter jets doing a fly-by above.

Nicolas Cage and Bill Skarsgård are set to star in Lords of War, the sequel to Lord of War that reunites Coda producer Vendome Pictures with director Andrew Niccol.
Niccol will write and direct the sequel to his 2005 crime thriller Lord of War, with Cage reprising his role as arms dealer Yuri Orlov, and Skarsgård on board to play his son. In Lords of War, Orlov discovers he has a son, Anton, who is trying to top his father’s wrongs rather than stop them as he launches a mercenary army to fight America’s Middle East conflicts.
The sequel will shoot in fall 2023, with FilmNation Entertainment representing the international sales rights starting at the Cannes Film Festival. CAA Media Finance will handle the domestic rights.
Philippe Rousselet and Fabrice Gianfermi, who produced the original, are returning in the same role for Lords of War under their Vendôme Pictures banner,...

Deaf representation has come a long way in Hollywood.
“Coda’s” release and subsequent best picture Oscar win marked an important moment for deaf audiences. It showed the most significant representation of the community on a global stage since 1986’s “Children of a Lesser God” earned Marlee Matlin a best actress prize.
“Hollywood is making that shift from diversity for optics to something deeper,” says Lauren Ridloff, a deaf actor best known for her work on “Eternals” and “The Walking Dead.”
That deeper shift includes recent projects where deaf representation has been the focus of major storylines. Director James Cameron called on C.J Jones to create Na’vi sign language, featured in “Avatar: The Way of Water.” HBO’s “The Last of Us” offered up another landmark moment when the show about a post-apocalyptic world featured Keivonn Woodard, as a young deaf Black man trying to survive zombie hordes.

Disabled workers and disability activists in Hollywood are speaking out in support of expanded employment opportunities in the industry. The Thursday, March 23 open letter, signed by stars such as Ali Stroker, Chris Cooper and Marianne Leone, Daniel Durant, Jason Katims, Krista Vernoff, Lauren Ridloff, Marlee Matlin, Paul Feig, Ramy Youssef, and Siân Heder, was created with the Inevitable Foundation to encourage the TV and film industry to hire disabled creatives in writing, producing, directing, and more positions, not just disability consultants. The Inevitable Foundation is a non-profit “working to close the disability representation gap in film and television. Currently, disabled people make up over 20 percent of the U.S. population but represent only two percent of characters on screen and less than one percent of film and TV writers,” the org said in the Thursday press release. “By funding and mentoring mid-career disabled screenwriters, Inevitable Foundation is creating a world...

Marlee Matlin, Ramy Youssef, Lauren Ridloff, Ryan O’Connell and Ali Stroker are among the Hollywood names supporting the Inevitable Foundation’s open letter calling on the industry to shift away from relying on disability consultants and instead hire creatives with disabilities on film and TV projects.
A total of 35 deaf, disabled and allied writers, actors, showrunners and producers signed their names to the letter written and published by the Inevitable Foundation’s co-founders Marisa Torelli-Pedevska and Richie Siegel as part of their new Hire Disabled Writers, Not Just A Disability Consultant initiative.
Paul Feig, Jason Katims, Sian Heder, Liz Tigelaar, Krista Vernoff, Edward Kitsis and Adam Horowitz, Josh Feldman, Shoshannah Stern and Timothy Omundson also backed the open letter, pledging to, in their own creative capacities, put more disabled creatives in positions of power and move away from the consultant model.

One might think that the only path to winning an Oscar is to do good enough work to be respected and appreciated by your academy member peers – or just have the right friends in the academy’s actors branch, huh? But there’s something that’s almost as important in getting through the months and months of awards campaigning, and that’s a narrative.
Narratives are something that are often mentioned as we get closer to Oscar night, but it’s something that runs throughout the life of a movie from whenever or wherever it debuts through whatever junkets or interviews are done over the course of a movie’s life on the way to Oscar night.
For instance, how many times had we heard the story of “The King’s Speech” screenwriter David Seidler on the way to that movie’s four Oscar wins, including for Best Picture? Born in...

For Oscar voters, the unspoken rule regarding supporting male performances is the longer the better. An average winner in the category clocks in with 33 minutes and 55 seconds of screen time, and the last five champs have consistently raised that bar. Last year’s victor, Troy Kotsur, was honored for appearing in 35 minutes and 34 seconds (or nearly one-third) of Best Picture winner “Coda.” Of the 86 performances that have won Best Supporting Actor, his falls comfortably within the longer half.
Unlike the three Best Supporting Actor recipients who directly preceded him – Daniel Kaluuya (“Judas and the Black Messiah”), Brad Pitt (“Once Upon a Time in Hollywood”), and Mahershala Ali (“Green Book”) – Kotsur’s category placement was uncontested, meaning there was no talk about him instead belonging in the lead race. Emilia Jones, the un-nominated star of “Coda” who plays Kotsur’s daughter, towers over him by a margin of 52 minutes. His is...

With Covid-related production and release delays mostly in the rearview mirror, those arriving this week at the Sundance Film Festival will face another potential conundrum.
The hope among filmmakers and interested sellers is that the dual requirements of a two-tracked exhibition system — films for theaters and movies for streaming — will fuel a bull market. Fears abound that as streamers claim to restore fiscal sanity while Wall Street no longer cares about subscribers and content spends, the reckless content splurges of the past will cease to drive eyes-are-bigger-than-your-stomach purchases.
Save for Amazon’s Prime Video and Apple TV+, which arguably can still overbid, studios and streamers might be less willing to throw money at high-profile but commercially questionable titles. Concurrently, fears of an upcoming Writers Guild strike could lead to more wealth being spread around toward more movies in another variation on content-for-content’s sake spending.

“I am so torn and this season did not help me in terms of who has been in the bottom,” says Gold Derby contributor Cordell Martin, agonizing over who to predict to win the Mirror Ball Trophy on “Dancing with the Stars.” “Usually by now you can at least narrow it down to two couples, but the fact that we have three who have never been in the bottom – it can go so many different ways.” I previewed the upcoming season finale with Martin and fellow contributor Jeffrey Kare, and we’re all on the fence. Watch our video slugfest above.

As the finale for season 31 of “Dancing with the Stars” approaches this Monday night on Disney+, the last four celebrities in the competition who are gunning for the coveted Mirror Ball trophy are Wayne Brady, Charli D’Amelio, Shangela, and Gabby Windey. Each of them have proven to be a force to be reckoned with in the ballroom throughout these past nine weeks. There’s a case to be made for any one of them to come out on top. However, the one who I think we should really keep an eye out for is Windey.
Throughout the show’s long history, four “Bachelorette” stars have competed for the Mirror Ball trophy. So far two of them have won. In 2019 Hannah Brown managed to prevail in a finale that also included Lauren Alaina (fourth place), Ally Brooke (third place), and Kel Mitchell (runner-up). Then in 2020 Kaitlyn Bristowe won in a finale...

Trevor Donovan and Emma Slater and Daniel Durant and Britt Stewart were sent home in the Dancing With the Stars semifinals double elimination on Disney+. That leaves TikTok and reality star Charli D’Amelio and Mark Ballas, former Bachelorette star Gabby Windey and Val Chmerkovskiy, actor and comedian Wayne Brady and Witney Carson, and drag queen superstar Shangela and Gleb Savchenko as the final four couples competing in the Dancing With the Stars finale on November 21. But who should win? To get your take before the votes begin, we’ve compiled each couple’s total scores from the season. Across the season’s 10 episodes so far, there were 506 points up for grabs, including points from the group dances, dance relays, and dance marathon.

In any other season, actors Trevor Donovan and Daniel Durant (Coda) would both likely be going to the finals next week but the level of talent in Season 31 of Dancing With the Stars was just too high to keep the two actors in the competition any longer. TV Insider spoke to the pair of semi-finalists and their pro partners about their DWTS journey after their eliminations were announced. “I’m so happy and proud of myself,” Durant said on the post-show press line. “I feel like we did it. Just seeing the dance floor getting smaller and smaller each week [showed me how far we went]. I’m so happy where we got to in the competition.” “I’m so proud of Daniel,” Britt Stewart, Durant’s pro dancer partner, adds. “I might be biased but I think he deserved to be in the finals — 100 percent! But it’s an accomplishment to get where we did.

On Monday’s semi-finales episode of “Dancing With the Stars,” the six remaining couples performed one ballroom dance and one Latin dance each, and at the end of the night two couples were sent home, with the remaining four headed to next week’s finale.
Both Charli D’Amelio and Gabby Windey earned perfect scores for their Viennese waltzes, but the judges gushed a bit more over Charli.
Carrie Ann Inaba called Charlie’s dance “perfection on top of perfection” and “beyond spectacular.” Len said it “literally took my breath away… no words of mine can sum up how good I thought that was.” Derek Hough told Charli she was “the first celebrity to really look like a ballroom dancer,” and Bruno said she had the grace of a prima ballerina.

It’s semi-finals night on Dancing With The Stars! We have to wonder how many people have been watching along with us during the 31st season. Disney+ has yet to release any viewership numbers for the former ABC show, which isn’t an encouraging sign. And that’s too bad: DWTS under Executive Producer Conrad Green has once again found its glory, from inspirational participants like Selma Blair and Daniel Durant, to the refreshing way it has put the spotlight back on ballroom dancing.
Case in point: throughout the season, the judges have given us “master classes” on how to perform a perfect genre of ballroom dance. Monday, for example, featured Pasha Pashkov and Daniella Karagach executing a flawless Viennese waltz while Derek Hough and Len Goodman provided insightful commentary. So that’s why we love this show so much! Thanks for the much-needed reminder, Mr. Green.

The “Dancing with the Stars” season 31 contestants are dropping like flies. A double elimination on “90s Night” reduced the show from eight contestants to six, and another double elimination on Semifinals Night narrowed the field to the final four who will compete for the Mirror Ball Trophy in next week’s finale episode. So who survived the final cut and who fell just short of the finals? Follow our live blog below with all the minute-by-minute developments and commentary throughout the night.
To earn their spots in the finale, each celeb had to learn and perform two new dances. Actor and comedian Wayne Brady performed two very different routines: a paso doble and a Viennese waltz. TikTok star Charli D’Amelio also performed a Viennese waltz and a paso doble, perhaps so the judges and viewing audience would better be able to compare the season’s two front-runners against each other.

“90s Night” on “Dancing with the Stars” ended with the double elimination of “D’Amelio Show” star Heidi D’Amelio and “Jersey Shore” alum Vinny Guadagnino. That leaves us with six semifinalists, but there will be another double elimination tonight which will narrow the show down to its final four. So who will be the last to go home before the finale? “DWTS” fans have been placing their bets all week, and they’re pretty confident about the first celeb who will go home, but not so sure about the second.
Actor Trevor Donovan is the overwhelming favorite to be sent home with leading odds of 83/50. And that’s no slight against him as a contestant. He has steadily improved all season after starting with a phobia of the dance floor. But of the remaining six celebrities, he’s the only one who has been in the bottom two or bottom three before.

The “Dancing with the Stars” semifinal means double the routines and yet another double elimination. That’s what happens when you have a 16-person cast and only 10 weeks of competition.
The remaining six couples will tackle two individual dances on the first theme-less night of the season — get ready for lots of paso dobles and Viennese waltzes — before two couples get axed for the second consecutive week. That will send four couples to the finale on Nov. 21. “Dancing” has had four-team finales every season since the 27th installment in 2018.
See the full lineup below:
Wayne Brady and Witney Carson: paso doble (“Beggin’” by Måneskin); Viennese waltz (“It’s A Man’s Man’s Man’s World” by James Brown)
Charli D’Amelio and Mark Ballas: Viennese waltz (“Glimpse of Us” by Joji); paso doble (“Espana Cani” by Pascual Marquina)
Trevor Donovan and Emma Slater: cha-cha (“Satisfied” by Galantis feat.

(Spoiler Alert: This article reveals which two teams were sent home on Monday, Nov. 7)
“This past weekend, we lost Aaron Carter,” cohost Tyra Banks said at the top of Monday’s night show, remembering the pop star and Season 9 contestant who was found dead on Saturday at age 34. “The team here at ‘Dancing With the Stars’ recalls the energy and the fun that he brought to his show, to this ballroom and we offer our sincere condolences to his family.”
The eight remaining couples danced to hits from the ’90s on Monday, with live performances from Salt-n-Pepa, En Vogue, Vanilla Ice, and Kid ‘N Play.
After their individual dances, there was a three-way tie at the top of the leaderboard between Charli D’Amelio, Gabby Windey and Wayne Brady, while a bonus Relay Dance round left only Charli and Wayne tied for first.
Vinny Guadagnino and Koko Iwasaki were the second couple sent home on Nov.
“This past weekend, we lost Aaron Carter,” cohost Tyra Banks said at the top of Monday’s night show, remembering the pop star and Season 9 contestant who was found dead on Saturday at age 34. “The team here at ‘Dancing With the Stars’ recalls the energy and the fun that he brought to his show, to this ballroom and we offer our sincere condolences to his family.”
The eight remaining couples danced to hits from the ’90s on Monday, with live performances from Salt-n-Pepa, En Vogue, Vanilla Ice, and Kid ‘N Play.

It’s getting down to the end on “Dancing With the Stars,” as two pairs were sent home on Monday night.
For ’90s night, all of the duos performed to hit songs from the decade, with Wayne Brady, Charli D’Amelio and Gabby Windy all earning perfect scores.
One of the most powerful routines of the night was a jazz performance by Daniel Durant and Britt Stewart to Depeche Mode’s “Enjoy the Silence.” Everyone was emotional, including Derek Hough who choked back tears as he told the pair, “That was so insanely powerful. It made me realize how much I depend on the music. So to share that experience, that was impactful.”
Afterward, Stewart noted that it was a “profound moment” for her to be part of the partnership with Durant and dancing without music allowed them to connect even further. The routine earned the duo their first 10s, and...

It’s ’90s night and since we’re down to only eight teams, someone’s gotta help fill those two hours of programming. Welcome En Vogue and Salt N’ Pepa to the ballroom! It was a treat to watch Len Goodman groove out to your performance of “Whatta Man” at the top of the show.
After a super quick tribute to the late Aaron Carter — the DWTS contestant from season 9 died Nov. 5 — the night of hot shirtless men — and a double elimination — began!
Vinny Guadagnino and Koko Iwasaki. I can’t be the only one who wonders why the Jersey Shore star is still in this competition. At least he’s not squandering the opportunity; he tries to inject his personality into his middling numbers, including with tonight’s tolerable tango to “What is Love.” “You tried to do everything absolutely right,” said Bruno Tonioli. “You were right there with your frame.

“Dancing with the Stars” has whittled away half of its season 31 cast, and the cuts are coming even faster. Tonight’s “90s Night,” in which the celebs danced to iconic music from the decade, was a double elimination night, narrowing the competition down from eight to six semifinalists. So who stayed, who went home, and were there any shocking upsets? Follow our live blog below with all of the night’s developments and commentary as they happen.
Just like last week there were two rounds of competition on “90s Night.” The first was the usual collection of new dances in previously unlearned dance styles: salsas for actors Wayne Brady and Trevor Donovan, tangos for TikTok star Charli D’Amelio and “Jersey Shore” star Vinny Guadagnino, sambas for drag queen Shangela and “The Bachelorette” alum Gabby Windey, contemporary for “D’Amelio Show” star Heidi D’Amelio, and jazz for actor Daniel Durant.

“Dancing with the Stars” is reminding us all that we’re very old by turning back the clock for ’90s Night on Monday, but the more important number is two because there will be a double elimination.
The final eight will perform twice — an individual routine and a relay dance — to classic ’90s jams. During the latter, they’ll be backed by live performances by Salt-n-Pepa, En Vogue, Vanilla Ice and Kid ‘N Play. Salt-n-Pepa and En Vogue will also perform “Whatta Man” during the show. And by the end of the night, two pairs will bid adieu, advancing the final six to the semifinals on Nov. 14.
See the full lineup below:
Wayne Brady and Witney Carson: salsa (“Motownphilly” by Boyz II Men)
Charli D’Amelio and Mark Ballas: tango (“Song 2” by Blur)
Heidi D’Amelio and Artem Chigvintsev: contemporary (“Ironic” by Alanis Morissette)

(Spoiler Alert: This article reveals the team that was sent home on Monday, Oct. 31)
The remaining nine couples channeled classic horror characters for Halloween, which saw Shangela “snapping” partner Gleb Savchenko’s neck in the final move of their creepy doll Jazz routine. The number earned them their first perfect score of the season.
Len Goodman, who was dressed as a vampire, said the routine “scared the pants off of me” after Bruno Tonioli dubbed Shangela “the psycho killer queen of the night,” raving, “you make the Bride of Chucky look like a saint.”
The dancers later formed two teams as “Team Wicked” and “Team Scream” for a group number that changed the standings on the evening’s leaderboard: Trevor Donovan, who feared he’d be in the bottom two for the second time, tied for first place with frontrunner Charli D’Amelio after Team Scream’s murder-mystery routine earned 39 points...

Everyone was in the Halloween spirit this week on Dancing With the Stars.
Not only did the contestants give some of their spookiest performances, but even the judges got into the holiday, dressing in their best costumes as they doled out healthy doses of praise and critique for each of the remaining nine couples.
And it wouldn’t be Halloween without resident trickster Sasha Farber trying to frighten the couples during rehearsal. He snuck up behind some during their interviews and dropped fake spiders into the rehearsal rooms, but the pranks fell mostly flat.
In addition to their individual routines, the couples also participated in two group performances to compete for extra points to keep them out of the bottom two.
Jordan Sparks and Brandon Armstrong. Praised for her “musicality” last week, the platinum singer’s goal going into Halloween night was to nail down the details and finally perfect...
