At last year’s MTV Video Music Awards, Taylor Swift announced her Midnights album. And this year, the album helped her dominate the night with multiple wins, including her fourth for video of the year.
Swift is the only artist to win the top prize four times — this year it was for her No. 1 hit “Anti-Hero.” During the win that closed out the four-hour show Tuesday night, she shared the stage with those who worked on the music video: director of photography Rina Yang and editor Chancler Haynes.
Swift opened and closed the show with honors: She fangirled, like most of the audience, when she accepted the first award of the night from ‘N Sync, who earned a standing ovation from the crowd at the Prudential Center in Newark, New Jersey.
“I am not doing well pivoting from this to this. I had your dolls. Are you doing something? What’s going to happen now?...

Taylor Swift was the big winner at the 2023 MTV VMAs, including the top award of the night Video of the Year for “Anti-Hero.” The singer-songwriter had the odds in her favor as she was the most nominated artist of the night going into the award show with eight mentions.
Other winners of the night included Shakira with the Video Vanguard Award as well as Best Duo alongside Karol G for their song “Tqg.” Anitta took Best Latin for “Funk Rave,” while Nicki Minaj won the Best Hip-Hop trophy for “Super Freaky Girl.”
Diddy also took the stage to perform some of his hits and to accept the Global Icon Award.
One of the big moments of the night was when Nsync took the stage to present the first award of the night. Joey Fatone, Lance Bass, Justin Timberlake, Jc Chasez and Chris Kirkpatrick came together to hand out Swift with the Best Pop award.

The Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences gives out awards every single year, and like any other group, over time it’s clear that they have their favorites. Serious dramas reign at the Oscars, so much so that it’s a genuine shock when genre films get any serious attention outside of the technical categories. In particular, horror films like “The Silence of the Lambs,” “The Exorcist,” and “Get Out” win Oscars so very rarely that they’re easily written off as exceptions to the rule, instead of evidence that the horror genre is as rich and nuanced as any other and takes just as much award-worthy talent to craft.
Every year it seems as if there are a handful of horror movies and performances that receive the much-coveted Oscar buzz, only to emerge from the season empty-handed. If Academy voters can convince themselves not to nominate Toni Collette...

Nanny is a horror movie written and directed by Nikyatu Jusu, starring Anna Diop, Michelle Monaghan and Sinqua Walls.
An impressive display of cinematographic excellence. Hypnotic and paced, it wins the viewer over slowly but surely, and will not let you go.
Premise
Aisha is hired as a nanny by a well to do New York Upper East Side couple, while she prepares for the arrival of the son she left behind in Senegal. An ominous presence shows up in her her dreams and when awake, putting her pursuit of the American Dream at risk.
Movie Review
The subtle foreboding, without overt brutality or spectacle, is a constant in this feature film. Very measured in its pace, it takes its time to gain momentum, but the narrative flows so well, hand in hand with stunning visuals, that one gives into what can best be described as an almost hypnotic experience...

When “Nanny” cinematographer Rina Yang shoots TV shows “I think we framed differently … We might go a little tighter” for a project that’s going to end up on the small screen. That’s the question these days when it comes to shooting projects. Your film or TV show could be seen on a giant movie screen, on a 4K television set, on a 10-inch tablet, right down to a pocket-sized smartphone. Does that affect one’s approach to the photography? We asked Yang as well as James Friend (“All Quiet on the Western Front”), Bobby Bukowski (“Till”) and Luc Montpellier (“Women Talking”) as part of our “Meet the Experts” Film Cinematographers panel. Watch our roundtable discussion above. Click on each name above to watch that individual person’s solo chat.

“I think that it’s not really a horror movie. And we didn’t feel like we were making a horror movie. It’s more of a thriller,” but it has “the twist of genre,” explains “Nanny” cinematographer Rina Yang about crafting the look of the Amazon film. “I think it was pretty organic. [Director Nikyatu Jusu] and I are quite laid back. We sort of go with the instinct and go with the flow.” We talked to Yang as part of our “Meet the Experts” film cinematographers panel. Watch our exclusive video interview above.

Taylor Swift unveiled the next visual for her song “Bejeweled“ from her new Midnights album.
In what Swift describes as “music movie,” released to coincide with her new tenth studio album, the singer puts a twist on the Cinderella fairytale, in which Laura Dern, Haim, Swift’s longtime collaborator Jack Antonoff, Dita Von Teese and Pat McGrath star alongside her in the visual.
The music movie, which Swift wrote and directed, opens with Swift’s “House Wench Taylor,” cleaning the floor — with an instrumental of her song “Enchanted” playing in the background — as she listens to her stepsisters (Haim) and “stepmommy” (Dern) discuss how anyone who wins the talent competition will get keys to their own castle and a marriage proposal from the prince.

Taylor Swift’s insecurities and fears are coming to life in the music video, which Swift is calling a “music movie,” for her song “Anti-Hero,” from her new Midnights album.
In the video released to coincide with her new album, Swift can be seen running from the ghosts of her past as she is continuously confronted by what appears to be her Hollywood alter ego and a “giant monster-on-a-hill” persona. In varied moments, Swift could be seen wearing a “Vote for me, for everything” pin, stepping on a scale which reads “fat” and taking notes as her persona teaches her that “everyone will betray you.”
Later in the video, there’s a scene of Swift’s imagined funeral, in which a fictional daughter-in-law (portrayed by Mary Elizabeth Ellis) and sons (John Early and Mike Birbiglia) read her will.

When the clock struck midnight, a new music era began for Taylor Swift as she debuted her 10th studio album, Midnights.
When announcing the album, Swift hinted that it would share more personal stories, something she moved away from with her Folklore and Evermore albums, and described it as “the stories of 13 sleepless nights scattered throughout my life.”
“This is a collection of music written in the middle of the night, a journey through terrors and sweet dreams,” Swift wrote. “The floors we pace and the demons we face. For all of us who have tossed and turned and decided to keep the lanterns lit and go searching — hoping that just maybe, when the clock strikes twelve…we’ll meet ourselves.”
Fans have been left wondering what direction and sounds the new era would bring following Swift’s last indie folk chapter, Folklore and Evermore.

We might be Ok, but we’re actually not fine at all after Taylor Swift suggested that the scarf from her fan-favorite epic ballad “All Too Well” might not actually be lingering in the drawer of a former flame. In fact, the scarf with the power to remind ex-lovers of innocence and that reportedly smells like the chart-topping singer-songwriter is, according to Swift, nothing but a carefully constructed metaphor.

Taylor Swift made a surprise appearance at the MTV Video Music Awards on Sunday, Aug. 28. The singer, whose piece "All Too Well: The Short Film" is nominated for five awards at the ceremony, walked the red carpet in a short, sparkly silver dress.
Swift released "All Too Well: The Short Film" alongside her 2021 album "Red (Taylor's Version)." The almost-15-minute short starring Sadie Sink and Dylan O'Brien was written and directed by Swift. The film is soundtracked with "All Too Well (10 Minute Version) (Taylor's Version)," the extended version of her original 2012 song "All Too Well." At the VMAs, "All Too Well: The Short Film" is nominated for video of the year, best long-form video, best cinematography, best direction, and best editing.
Early in the ceremony, Swift won the award for best long-form video. She was flanked by O'Brien, cinematographer Rina Yang, and producer Saul Germaine as she took to the stage.

Taylor Swift won the award for video of the year at the 2022 MTV Video Music Awards on Aug. 28 for "All Too Well: The Short Film," and she used the opportunity to announce a brand-new album coming this fall. Swift took the stage with some of the people who helped make the video - actor Dylan O'Brien, cinematographer Rina Yang, and producer Saul Germaine - for her big moment.
"I'm so honored to have been recognized alongside such amazing artists and directors in this category, and I just want to say I'm so heartened by the fact that for the first time in VMA history, four of the directors nominated in the video of the year category are women," Swift, who directed and wrote the video, said.

Even before Blackpink threw it down on the MTV Video Music Awards stage, the girl group was serving designer drama on the VMAs black carpet. Making their U.S. award show debut, Jennie, Jisoo, Lisa and Rosé served up a dose of high fashion on the carpet, choosing sophistication over provocation in ensembles from Chanel, Dior, Celine and Saint-Laurent (each of the girls works with their respective fashion houses as a global ambassador).
Blackpink was among the early arrivals to the Prudential Center in New Jersey, where this year’s VMAs were held.

Taylor Swift might not like a gold rush, but she clearly has no aversion to crystals.

Designed by Oscar de la Renta — a favourite of Swift’s, who also wore de la Renta to the 63rd Grammy’s when she took home Album of the Year for Folklore — the backless dress was resplendent with cutouts. The “Wildest Dreams” hitmaker kept things modest thanks to the dress’ lining which closely matched the color of her skin.
Swift paired the dress with Lorraine Schwartz jewelry and silver Christian Louboutin sandals embellished with crystals to match the dress.

“Nanny,” the horror film that won the top prize at this year’s Sundance, has been acquired for release by Blumhouse and Prime Video. An individual with knowledge of the sale telling TheWrap the movie was acquired in a competitive situation.
Nikyatu Jusu’s debut film, which she wrote and directed, won the 2022 Sundance Grand Jury Prize in the U.S. Dramatic Competition, making “Nanny” the first horror film to win in the category and making her only the second Black woman director to have their film win the top prize.
Blumhouse and Prime Video formed a partnership in 2019 to release films under the “Welcome to Blumhouse” banner, and “Nanny” will continue that collaboration.

Sundance 2022’s top prize winner, filmmaker Nikyatu Jusu’s “Nanny,” has been acquired by Blumhouse and Prime Video.
The companies jointly secured worldwide rights for the horror-drama, which premiered to rave reviews at Sundance in January, before ultimately winning the Sundance Grand Jury Prize, making history as the first horror film to take the festival’s top honor. Jusu is also only the second Black woman director to win the award.
Written and directed by Jusu, in her feature directorial debut, “Nanny” follows a Senegalese woman named Aisha (Anna Diop) who recently immigrated to America. When Aisha starts working as a nanny for a wealthy New York couple, she also begins having haunting visions. Michelle Monaghan, Sinqua Walls, Morgan Spector and Rose Decker star alongside Diop.
The film was acquired from Topic Studios, Stay Gold Features and LinLay Productions in a competitive bidding situation. The deal was negotiated by CAA Media Finance.

Blumhouse and Prime Video have won world rights to Sundance horror-drama Nanny, we can reveal.
In a competitive situation, which also included SPC and Neon, Prime Video ultimately won out thanks to a deal in the $7M range. Blumhouse’s Jason Blum saw the movie and instantly fell for it so wanted to include it as part of the company’s Amazon deal. There is also a theatrical commitment, we understand.
From in-demand first-time feature writer/director Nikyatu Jusu, Nanny premiered at Sundance this year in the U.S. Dramatic Competition to strong reviews and went on to win the Sundance Grand Jury Prize, the first horror film to take the festival’s top honor.

When “Nanny” writer-director Nikyatu Jusu got a message from the Sundance team in late January asking to jump on a call, the first time filmmaker realized that the project must’ve won an award, which would be presented publicly the next day.
First, Jusu thought that the prize might go to the film’s star Anna Diop, who’d been earning rave reviews for her performance as Aisha, a Senegalese woman who recently immigrated to America and begins working for a wealth family on the Upper East Side in New York City. Then, she speculated the prize could be for cinematographer Rina Yang’s work lensing the film, which would be a win for the whole team. But she didn’t imagine that the film would instead win one of Sundance’s grand jury award in the U.S. dramatic category — and she certainly didn’t expect her reaction to be captured in real time.

With Nanny, Nikyatu Jusu presents a more haunting depiction of the American Dream. Her feature debut nods to Ousmane Sembène’s seminal Black Girl while distilling the trials her parents, immigrants from Sierra Leone, endured as Jusu grew up in Atlanta—a mix of domestic drama and frightening images to make us fellow outsiders in a suffocatingly insular world.
Anna Diop propels the film with her star-making performance as Aisha, a Manhattan-based undocumented Senegalese immigrant working towards her version of the American Dream by procuring enough money to provide travel for her son Lamine (Jahleel Kamera), who she was forced to leave behind. She is hired as the nanny for wealthy upper-class couple Amy (Michelle Monaghan) and Adam (Morgan Spector), who conspicuously pay her under the counter to care for their daughter Rose (Rose Decker).

Taylor Swift, whose legion of fans has made her one of the best-selling artists of all time, is breaking more records with “All Too Well,” her short film based on a new, 10-minute version of the song originally released in 2012. It premiered to an emotional, tissue-carrying crowd at AMC Lincoln Center in New York City and on YouTube November 12; by the next morning it was the number-one trending video on the site with over 14 million views. And it briefly took the number-one rated spot on Letterboxd: with 4.65 stars, the short, written and directed by Swift, is better received by users of the movie-ranking site than “Parasite” and the concert short “Radiohead: In Rainbows – From the Basement.”
The 15-minute film stars Sadie Sink (“Stranger Things”) and Dylan O’Brien (“Teen Wolf”) as star-crossed lovers navigating the roller coaster of their relationship before inevitable heartbreak. It’s centered around the new, long version...

Spike Jonze has joined forces with Free The Work to create a video playlist listing the women cinematographers he wants to work with in the future. Jonze has worked with several female DPs in the past, including Autumn Durald Arkapaw, Zoë White, Mego Lin, and Ellen Kuras. While all four of the director’s feature films have been shot by men (Lance Acord handled Jonze’s first three features and Hoyte van Hoytema stepped in for “Her”), Jonze has collaborated with White, Lin, and Kuras on various advertisements. Kuras worked with Jonze on his famous 2006 Adidas commercial.
As for the women cinematographers Jonze is eyeing for the future, the director’s wish list includes Natasha Braier, Daisy Zhou (check out her Nike Vogue commercial), Rina Yang (the cinematographer behind Sephora’s “We Belong to Something Beautiful” advertisement), Maryse Alberti, and Polly Morgan.
