Shia Labeouf was promising in all forms before fumbling so hard that he is basically a pariah now. The actor (and screenwriter) had proved his talents in various films and was also gearing up to be a proper box office draw before his public troubles with the law and several controversies essentially ruined his career.

The Megapolis star has been known to cause controversies and his reactions to them have been equally intense. Actor Alec Baldwin recalled his experience working with the actor on a theatre production of Orphans. Baldwin mentioned that the two clashed over their processes, eventually leading to Labeouf exiting the project.

Hailed as one of the greatest actors and the brightest of gems of all time in the world of acting, Daniel Day-Lewis is a talent unparalleled. From his method acting to his uncanny ability to disappear behind his roles and become one with his characters, the actor deserves all the credit in the world for his unforgettable performances.

Whether he is playing Christy Brown, an artist with cerebral palsy, in My Left Foot, the menacing oil tycoon Daniel Plainview in There Will Be Blood, or Honest Abe in Lincoln, the actor has always delivered performances that hit right in the hearts and remain in our minds for eternity to come.

Jason Isaacs is an actor known for portraying the brilliant role of Lucius Malfoy in the iconic franchise Harry Potter. The actor is also an integral part of the comedy-drama show The White Lotus and fans are currently watching the third season of this show.

Being a brilliant actor, Jason Isaacs was asked a lot of questions about his time while filming The White Lotus. Well, being Lucius Malfoy, Isaacs talked about how aging has affected him and his thoughts about the concept of “method acting.”

Jason Isaacs needs no method acting

We’ve all heard stories about Jared Leto, Daniel-Day Lewis, and Heath Ledger going the extra mile to get into their characters so that they could give their performances of a lifetime. That’s called method acting, the art of never staying out of your character.

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers for Season 3, Episode 6 of “The White Lotus,” now streaming on Max.

Jason Isaacs is fashionably late to our Zoom interview, but only because he got caught up gabbing with another journalist.

“I’m just yakking on for too long,” the “White Lotus” star says. “I know they want a short answer, and I suddenly find myself talking, trapped in a web of my own making.”

Before we get going, though, he inquires about the myriad Polaroids on my wall, before asking bluntly: “You’ve seen six episodes. Who dies?” I tell him my prediction, and he humors me: “I love your theory. But I have a pretty good poker face. You’ll never get it from me.”

He does offer a potential hint at who winds up six feet under in Season 3 of the HBO dramedy. “Mike White doesn’t do justice,” Isaacs says...

Martin Scorsese and Leonardo DiCaprio are frequent collaborators, and one of their most exciting projects was their first, 2002’s Gangs of New York. The crime period drama was lauded by audiences and critics alike for its writing and performances, and featured a stellar cast.

Martin Scorsese’s Gangs of New York is moving to Peacock this April, making the multiple Academy Award-nominated film available for streaming at home. The movie follows Amsterdam Vallon as he returns to the Five Points seeking revenge for the death of his father. “Priest” Vallon, played by Liam Neeson, was one of the most prominent gang leaders in New York at the time, heading up the Dead Rabbits, a band of Irish Catholic immigrants. The extraordinary Daniel Day-Lewis plays William “Bill the Butcher” Cutting, the leader Anglo-Protestant Confederation of American Natives. When Bill the Butcher killed Amsterdam’s father, DiCaprio’s character was sent to...

It is going to be a brilliant year for movie buffs, given the number of anticipated projects arriving this year.

Netflix’s new British thriller Adolescence is making rounds on the internet, featuring experienced actors like Stephen Graham, Ashley Walters, and Erin Doherty in pivotal roles. However, the real breakout star of the show turned out to be the titular character played by 15-year-old amateur child star Owen Cooper.

Surprisingly, the four-episode limited series about a teenage boy Jamie Miller, accused of murdering his classmate, happened to be Owen Cooper’s first acting credit. So now, upon watching Adolescence, fans can’t wrap their heads around the fact that Cooper appeared on set for the first time and shot the entirety of episode 3 in one go. Now, if this doesn’t make him the next big thing in Hollywood, then what will?

Owen Cooper earned praise from Stephen Graham over his acting debut in Adolescence

Finding a young actor with phenomenal acting chops is never easy.

Stephen Graham is rightfully receiving rave reviews for co-creating and starring in "Adolescence," itself perhaps one of the best Netflix Originals ever made. For Graham, however, outstanding work isn't anything new. While "Adolescence" may've formally put his name on the map, a quick search through his back catalog reveals the star has consistently delivered top-tier performances over the past 20 years.

Having proven himself a true chameleon with the monsters and tortured men he's brought to life over the years, Graham has collaborated with some of the most influential filmmakers and stars in movie history, including Daniel Day-Lewis, Brad Pitt (whose production company Plan B Entertainment helped get "Adolescence" off the ground), and Martin Scorsese. So, where do you begin with a talent like that? And what Graham projects merit should you check out after witnessing what might be his career-best turn in "Adolescence" (where he plays the heartbroken and deeply troubled father Eddie Miller)?

A Complete Unknown is heading to streaming. Timothée Chalamet fans will soon be able to stream his Oscar-nominated performance as Bob Dylan on Hulu.

Per Deadline, the Searchlight biopic arrives on the streamer on March 27 after a 92-day theatrical window. Directed by James Mangold, A Complete Unknown is based on the 2015 biography for Bob Dylan, Elijah Wald's Dylan Goes Electric!. The movie focuses mostly on Dylan's rise in folk music by utilizing electric instruments, with the title coming from the lyrics of "Like a Rolling Stone," one of the singer's most popular songs. The movie is widely considered to be among the best film releases of 2024, and it earned over $109 million at the box office.

For his performance in A Complete Unknown, Chalamet won the SAG Award for Best Actor, beating out fellow nominees Adrien Brody (The Brutalist), Daniel Craig (Queer), Colman Domingo (Sing Sing), and Ralph Fiennes (Conclave...

MGM+ has made it official and ordered The Westies crime drama from Narcos creator Chris Brancato.

The Peaky Blinders-esque period drama series about fearsome Irish gangs in New York will start production in Toronto in July 2025. Martin Scorsese captured a similar storyline in his 2002 film Gangs of New York, which starred Leonardo DiCaprio and Daniel Day-Lewis and followed the rise of Irish gangs and their power struggles with other criminal groups in the area around the Five Points neighborhood of lower Manhattan.

But rather than set The Westies in the late 19th century, like Scorsese’s film, Brancato has chosen a 1980s New York City backdrop for his MGM+ crime drama.

“We are thrilled to bring our viewers another provocative, exciting crime drama from the incomparable vision of Chris Brancato,” Michael Wright, head of MGM+ said in a statement on Tuesday. “Chris is a gifted showrunner who builds his stories...

Earning more than one Academy Award during a career is a surprising rarity for actors. Katharine Hepburn holds the record of four Oscars, while the rare feat of winning three rests with Jack Nicholson, Daniel Day-Lewis, Walter Brennan, Meryl Streep, Ingrid Bergman, and Frances McDormand. For filmmakers themselves, it is a bit of a different metric, as the ones behind the camera push all aspects of the production. A win for a film is often attributed, in part, to their work.

Steven Spielberg's work has been monumental in defining the modern face of cinema, and the success of his films at the Academy Awards reflects this unparalleled career over five decades, starting when Jaws became his first film to win an Oscar. Fifty years of excellence seem challenging to beat, yet one director's films won more Oscars within four decades: William Wyler. Let's compare the impressive records of the two cinema titans.

Daniel Day-Lewis is an acting institution. The three-time Oscar winner is widely considered among the greatest actors to have ever graced the silver screen. Since his breakthrough in the mid-'80s, Day-Lewis has starred in many now-classic movies, always attracting acclaim for his intense and committed performances. Arguably the greatest representative of method acting in the business, Day-Lewis is revered for his commitment to each of his performances, earning a reputation as a one-of-a-kind, generation-defining talent.

To celebrate the film’s 20th anniversary this year, Focus Features is re-releasing Pride & Prejudice nationwide in a special theatrical event starting on April 20. Tickets are now available for the Jane Austen adaptation, which was a global hit with audiences of all ages and earned four Academy Award nominations, becoming one of the most beloved romance films of all time.

In addition to the theatrical event, the film’s 20th anniversary will be celebrated with a new line of merchandise. Focus is also partnering with Decca Records for the long-awaited vinyl release of the Academy Award-nominated Pride & Prejudice soundtrack, composed by Dario Marianelli and performed by Jean-Yves Thibaudet, to be released later this spring in multiple formats.

Directed by Joe Wright and written by Deborah Moggach, Pride & Prejudice was originally released in 2005 and grossed over $122 million at the global box office.

The film’s cast includes Keira Knightley,...

If I had to compare "Friendship" to any sketch from Tim Robinson's "I Think You Should Leave," it'd be the one from the season 2 premiere with the haunted house. The tour guide jokingly tells the guests they're allowed to say "whatever the hell" they want, only for Robinson's character to take this as an opportunity to ask about "jizz" and "horse co*ks." We later find out the poor guy just wants to make friends, and he's grasping at whatever strategy he can think of to make a human connection.

It's tragic stuff, especially since it doesn't seem like he'd be able to hold onto a friend if he found one. If he did manage to trick someone into befriending him, it'd only be a matter of time before he did something wrong, be it by badly misreading a situation or by letting one of his many insecurities get the best of him.

When looking at Johnny Depp’s filmography, one can easily recognize that he looks like an actor who the Academy would snub multiple times. Talented, versatile, and with no desire to win the coveted trophy, Depp’s incredible performances are a testament to the fact that being the people’s champion is much more valuable than any other award.

Still, the legendary actor has been nominated thrice for the award. His most popular role, Captain Jack Sparrow, got a nod in his first appearance. However, all three nominations were with incredibly talented artists as his fellow nominees, and winning was tough. Sean Penn, Leonardo DiCaprio, and Clint Eastwood were just some of his competitors.

Kim Kardashian might be ready to reignite an old flame, but only on her terms. After a sizzling reunion with Pete Davidson at Saturday Night Live’s 50th anniversary bash, the reality star is seriously considering making him her go-to late-night call, Radar Online reported.

Kim’s attraction to Pete is still undeniable, but the chemistry? It is apparently off the charts. Most importantly, she trusts him to keep things strictly between them.

Kim and Pete’s romance started back in 2021 with an unexpected kiss during an SNL skit, and for a while, the Skims founder was all in. And now, with some distance, she sees Pete in a new light, with more fun as a no-strings-attached fling than a serious boyfriend.

Best Actor Oscar Winners List (Photo Credit – Instagram/Wikipedia)

The Academy Awards have long vaunted acting titans, and a rare few male actors have commandeered the Best Actor statuette more than once, with Daniel Day-Lewis scaling the peak thrice. From living legends like Tom Hanks to recent winners such as Adrien Brody, 10 men are trailing Day-Lewis’ record. Here is every name with two or more wins in this hallowed category.

1. Daniel Day-Lewis

Sir Daniel Day-Lewis stands alone with three Best Actor Oscars, a feat no other man has matched. His wins were facilitated thanks to dramatic transformations for My Left Foot, There Will Be Blood, and Lincoln—roles that exhibit him as an unforgettable chameleon. The Irish actor has retired since 2017’s Phantom Thread, but his five nominations out of fewer than a couple dozen movies certainly make us wonder whether Day-Lewis could come back for that gold once again...

Martin Scorsese is a director of some of modern Hollywood's most classic films. His command over showing characters through wonderfully executed camerawork and production design has introduced audiences to heroes, villains, and stories that revived genres and enticed people to be in the shoes of the characters. However, Scorsese has often made films about conflict, but not directly about a war. When one thinks of a war film, thoughts of green wool uniforms and old bomber planes come to mind. Scorsese has some brutal fights in many of his films but has kept the war genre at large at arm's length.

Despite this, there is one film that did allow Scorsese to...

Daniel Day-Lewis is a veritable screen legend, rightly regarded as one of the greatest actors of all time. Though famously picky with his roles, only appearing in one movie every few movies, and now mostly retired, Day-Lewis's filmography is still formidable. It very much leans toward drama, including classics like My Left Foot, Gangs of New York, and There Will Be Blood.

Is there a kernel of truth to the notion that "popcorn stars" don't win Oscars? It certainly felt that way to fans hoping to see Demi Moore pull off a Best Actress victory at the 2025 Oscars. Her daring performance as Elisabeth Sparkle in The Substance had earned her a Golden Globe, Critics Choice, and SAG Award, putting her in frontrunner position as she arrived at the 97th Academy Awards on March 2. But suddenly, those hopes were dashed when Emma Stone read out the winner: Mikey Madison in Anora.

It wasn't unfamiliar to see one of the biggest box-office draws from decades past lose the big one. Perhaps the Academy couldn't see past what Moore had once been told she was — a popcorn actress. She addressed the demeaning title in her Golden Globes acceptance speech nearly two months prior, stating that a producer called her a “popcorn actress” 30 years ago, which...

It's time to return to Shutter Island. The acclaimed 2010 psychological thriller starring Leonardo DiCaprio is now available to stream on Paramount+.

Directed by legendary filmmaker Martin Scorsese, Shutter Island stars DiCaprio as Deputy U.S. Marshal Teddy Daniels, who is investigating the mysterious disappearance of a patient from a remote psychiatric hospital. Mark Ruffalo, Ben Kingsley, Max von Sydow, and Michelle Williams co-star in the neo-noir psychological thriller, which was a commercial success upon its release in theaters in 2010, grossing $295 million at the worldwide box office. Shutter Island also received generally positive reviews from critics, with Rotten Tomatoes noting an approval rating of 69 percent.

For many fans of war movies, the genre displays some of the most dynamic filmmaking and thrilling narratives that demand an audience’s attention at every turn. Given the intensity and emotional stakes of a war film, viewers are treated to exciting action set-pieces, memorable characters, quality production design and many other aspects to analyze and admire for generations to come.

Among the plethora of war films made in the history of cinema, several have come along and garnered a legacy of entertaining audiences with timeless stories that also highlight various wars throughout human history. These war movies also emphasize the magic of movie-making by leaving fans satisfied with the subject at hand and merit multiple viewings to fully appreciate the spectacle on screen.

Adrien Brody has won his second Oscar for best actor, for his role in Brady Corbet’s “The Brutalist.”

He beat out Timothée Chalamet (“A Complete Unknown”), Colman Domingo (“Sing Sing”), Ralph Fiennes (“Conclave”) and Sebastian Stan (“The Apprentice”) for the statuette.

Walking on stage to accept the trophy, Brody spit his chewing gum into his hand and threw it to his partner, Georgina Chapman. Toward the end of his lengthy and passionate speech, the Academy began to play Brody off with music.

“I’m wrapping up, please turn the music off,” Brody said. “I’ve done this before. Thank you. It’s not my first rodeo, but I will will be brief.”

Brody began his five-minute speech by expressing his gratitude for the life and career he has been afforded.

“Acting is a very fragile profession. It looks very glamorous, and at certain moments it is,” Brody said. “But...

Earning his second Best Actor Oscar 22 years after his first, Adrien Brody entered the history books as the first leading actor to win two statuettes on his first two attempts on Sunday.

He won for his role as an ingenious, haunted architect in Brady Corbet’s epic, following his win in 2003 for Roman Polanski’s biographical World War II drama “The Pianist.”

And by wining Best Actor on Sunday, Brody not only made history but also preserved his place among Oscar milestones. Had 29-year-old Timothée Chalamet won in the category for “A Complete Unknown,” he would have become the youngest Best Actor victor ever, beating Brody’s own record from 2003.

Brody is the 11th leading actor to win twice in the top category.

“Acting is a very fragile profession,” Brody opened his acceptance speech. “It looks very glamorous, and certain moments it is, but the one thing that I’ve...

Adrien Brody took home his second Oscar on Sunday — Best Actor for The Brutalist — putting him in rarefied air: He is the eighth performer to boast a perfect 2-for-2 record at the Oscars.

The first seven to achieve this are:

1. Luise Rainer: Best Actress for The Great Ziegfeld (1936) and The Good Earth (1937)

2. Vivien Leigh: Best Actress for Gone with the Wind (1939) and A Streetcar Named Desire (1951)

3. Helen Hayes: Best Actress for The Sin of Madelon Claudet (1932) and Best Supporting Actress for Airport (1970)

The 97th Academy Awards can’t come soon enough, and there are oodles of reasons why the contenders eyeing the golden statuette share similar sentiments.

The 2025 Oscars, hosted by Conan O’Brien, are not merely going to honor Hollywood’s fiercest — be it Sean Baker’s Anora, Demi Moore-led The Substance, or Timothée Chalamet’s transformation into Bob Dylan for A Complete Unknown. The ceremony, like its previous segments, would be making and breaking careers altogether.

As far as Chalamet is concerned, while accepting his SAG Award, the Dune actor had been overtly vocal about surmounting the absolute summit of greatness — matching the legacy of Marlon Brando. Understandably, to actualize this dream, Chalamet will need to effectuate his Best Actor nomination into a victory.

Method actors are a different breed. Consider Dustin Hoffman. The notoriously intense performer habitually put his directors through their paces by hurtling himself deep into character. It wasn't enough for Hoffman to study the screenplay like it was holy writ; he had to get himself on the same emotional frequency as his characters, even if this meant endangering his physical and mental health. This is what he did on the set of John Schlesinger's "Marathon Man" prior to shooting the classic torture scene wherein Laurence Olivier's Nazi dentist literally attempts to drill information out of him. Hoffman, who was already contending with a divorce at the time, not only deprived himself of sleep but made the hard-partying scene at Studio 54. By the time he was seated in front of Olivier, he was a sweaty, addled mess, which prompted the planet's greatest living Shakespearean actor at the time to ask his co-star,...

Earlier today, concept art for Avengers: Doomsday leaked online (you can find a full breakdown here) and, while it's left us with plenty to discuss, the biggest reveal might be who's playing the McU's new Black Panther.

It was last month when we first learned of Marvel Studios' supposed plans to recast T'Challa following Chadwick Boseman's death in 2020. There have since been conflicting reports but the consensus is that Toussaint/T'Challa II, the hero's son, will be aged up and take his father's place.

Taking a closer look at this concept art for Avengers: Doomsday, we see quite clearly that Marvel Studios has used actor Damson Idris' likeness for the McU's new Black Panther.

Last Saturday at the Screen Actors Guild Awards, one of the defining moments of the evening was Timothée Chalamet receiving Best Actor for his performance in “A Complete Unknown.” Not just because it was an upset for Adrien Brody who seemed primed to take the prize for his turn in “The Brutalist” — even Kieran Culkin made a joke about it during his own rambling speech — but also because of what Chalamet told the crowd and the audience watching at home.

“I can’t downplay the significance of this award because it means the most to me, and I know we’re in a subjective business, but the truth is I’m really in pursuit of greatness,” Chalamet said. “I know people don’t usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats. I’m inspired by the greats. I’m inspired by the greats here tonight.

Apart from his chart-topping music, Bob Dylan is also known for being quite mysterious. In the past, he has often left people guessing with different stories about his past. Over the years, he has shared several bizarre tidbits about his life. But the most unexpected detail of them all would definitely be the one he shared in a 1966 interview.

In this conversation, the singer casually suggested that when he landed in New York, he had to work as a male prostitute. Whether it was meant as a joke or an exaggeration of the situation, it surely left many with questions.

The recent era of Steven Spielberg's career has been punctuated by a turn toward more adult and dramatic films, often centering around real-world political events that serve as a perfect allegory for modern issues. Starting with the immense success of movies like Saving Private Ryan and Schindler's List, his historical films like Bridge of Spies, The Post, and Munich represent a quieter and more contemplative side of one of the best directors of all time.

Arguably Steven Spielberg's best piece of historical fiction came with his fantastic 2012 drama Lincoln, a biopic centering on the 16th President's attempts to simultaneously end the Civil War and pass the Thirteenth Amendment to the United States Constitution, forcing the end of the Confederacy while also securing the end of slavery in America. The film, anchored by Daniel Day Lewis' unbelievable performance as Abraham Lincoln, features a number of fantastic scenes where the characters...

Aykroyd was nominated in the Best Supporting Actor category for playing Jessica Tandy’s son in Driving Miss Daisy.

Up in the Air is a comedy-drama film directed by Jason Reitman, who also co-wrote the screenplay with Sheldon Turner. Based on the 2001 novel of the same name by Walter Kirn, the 2009 film follows Ryan Bingham, a man whose job is to travel places and fire people from their jobs.

The Brutalist heads into Sunday’s Oscars ceremony as one of 2024’s most acclaimed films, an epic piece of filmmaking that earned 10 Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Director for Brady Corbet. However, while the film was once considered the Best Picture favorite, its best bets for Oscar glory on Sunday are in other categories: Best Score, Best Cinematography, and presumably Best Actor. Or at least so it appeared before the Screen Actors Guild Awards, when A Complete Unknown star Timothée Chalamet pulled off the upset win over The Brutalist lead — and season-long frontrunner — Adrien Brody. With Chalamet’s surprise SAG win, how worried should Brody be about a Timothée triumph at the Academy Awards?

When the 97th Academy Awards ceremony is held on March 2, viewers will notice that the way nominees are introduced in their respective categories will be like it used to be years ago. Per Variety, an assortment of film clips will be played as the nominees in acting categories are introduced, which has not been the case in recent years.

Back in 2021, when the pandemic was in full swing, the Oscars were broadcast with no host, and no film clips before each of the nominees. Instead, at the 2021 ceremony, the presenters gave a few “fun facts” and praise about each nominee in their category, per InsideHook. The ceremony also reduced the number of clips for acting nominees to free up time for more comedy or musical numbers and speeches.

When the ceremony is broadcast, viewers will be able to see clips from such films as A Complete Unknown, The Apprentice, and...

While Japan has Samurai Cinema, and the USA has Westerns, the UK has British comedy. Some of the world’s most influential movies have come from the comedy genre, largely thanks to the way that it tends to take mundane or taboo subjects and turn them into something that can be hilarious, thought-provoking, and in some cases, even revolutionary. Its impact can be seen in everything from entertainment to politics and real-life attitudes toward social classes, racism, gender roles, and so much more.

Choosing the best 25 films to exist in this space is a tough task because of how vast and diverse British comedy is. It’s important to give credit where credit is due to the films that have transcended the medium of film to make an impact on life as we know it. But at the same time, it would be a disservice to create a list that...

Timothée Chalamet’s Long and Intense Journey for Preparing the Role

Timothee’s dedication to the performance has been widely praised, and with an Academy Award nomination now in the mix, his pursuit of cinematic excellence shows no signs of slowing down.

Throughout his omnipresent, warmly received press tour for the Bob Dylan biopic “A Complete Unknown,” Timothée Chalamet has leaned into his digital fluency and youthful charm. As the rare matinee idol under 30, Chalamet has the rare ability to riff with the likes of Theo Von or Brittany Broski — modern media moguls who command a large Gen Z audience via TikTok and YouTube — without seeming like a try-hard. Whether dropping in on his own lookalike contest in downtown Manhattan or hanging out with the marching band at the University of Minnesota, Dylan’s home state, Chalamet has shown off his sense of humor and slightly bro-y bonhomie, throwing himself into a “Saturday Night Live” hosting stint and chatting college football like any co-ed who spends his weekends glued to ESPN. This is a man so in tune with the zeitgeist he’s dating Kylie Jenner, one of the only celebrities who...

Since the nominations were announced on Jan. 23, the Oscar Best Actor race had narrowed into a two-man battle between a pair of two-time nominees: Adrien Brody of The Brutalist (who won his first time out) and Timothée Chalamet of A Complete Unknown (who didn't). It would be a significant upset if either of these actors didn't cart off the trophy. But shockers happen, as Brody himself knows all too well. If that happens, three other nominees are hoping to pounce: Ralph Fiennes for Conclave, Colman Domingo for Sing Sing, and Sebastian Stan for The Apprentice.

Let's analyze the Best Actor contest in greater depth.

The Frontrunner: Adrien Brody

Before diving into Brody's Brutalist bona fides, let's climb into the way-back machine to look at the actor's upset win in the category in 2003 for The Pianist.

Timothée Chalamet was unabashed about his career goals while accepting the SAG Award for Best Actor on Sunday night. While celebrating the win for his portrayal of Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown, Chalamet outright stated he wants to be “one of the greats.”

“I can’t downplay the significance of this award because it means the most to me, and I know we’re in a subjective business, but the truth is, I’m really in pursuit of greatness,” Chalamet said. “I know people don’t usually talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats. I’m inspired by the greats. I’m inspired by the greats here tonight.”

He continued, “I’m as inspired by Daniel Day-Lewis, Marlon Brando, and Viola Davis as I am by Michael Jordan, Michael Phelps, and I want to be up there. So I’m deeply grateful. This doesn’t signify that,...

The next James Bond film will have a new casting director following the casting retirement of Debbie McWilliams, who has cast each of the last 13 James Bond films.

“I have now hung up my casting hat and have moved on to other film-related projects,” said McWilliams in an email to Screen.

McWilliams made her decision to retire from casting prior to Amazon MGM Studios acquiring creative control of the James Bond franchise from longtime producers Barbara Broccoli and Michael G. Wilson, announced last week.

Timothée Chalamet’s expression was one of genuine shock when he heard his name called out at the 31st annual Screen Actors Guild Awards. However, the talented thespian has his sights set on much more than simply his SAG honor for Outstanding Male Actor in a Leading Role.No, Chalamet doesn’t have any intention of resting on his laurels, and the star of A Complete Unknown made it crystal clear during his acceptance speech that he wants to be one of Hollywood's “greats.” Chalamet said:

"I can’t downplay the significance of this award [known as The Actor] because it means the most to me, and I know we’re in a subjective business, but the truth is I’m really in the pursuit of greatness. I know people usually don’t talk like that, but I want to be one of the greats. I’m inspired by the greats. I’m inspired by the greats here tonight.

‘Tis the season to be jolly because it’s awards season, but can these actors be jolly? Well, for starters, they have spent decades in the acting business, building a reputation and a name that has now become global and synonymous with Hollywood. And yet, after all this, no Oscar! How can that be?

Thus, here is a list of actors who have never won an Oscar despite having such strong repertoires. Some names will definitely be a shocker!

Everyone knows about the long-standing feud between Tom Cruise and the Golden Globes, but what is it with him and the Oscars? Despite being a global superstar and one of the most recognizable names when it comes to Hollywood, he has yet to claim the gold. Three nominations, yet no win. It really makes one wonder, what...

Timothée Chalamet became the youngest person to win Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role at the SAG Awards last night. The actor was celebrated by his peers during the annual awards ceremony for portraying Bob Dylan in A Complete Unknown.

Following the awards show, Chalamet took to the Instagram to celebrate his victory, posting a series of photos along with the caption, “Yeooooooo I Won I Cant Believe It !!!!!!! Thank You To My Peers From The Bottom Of My Heart !!!!!!! All The Members Of The Screen...

We’re exactly one week away from the 97th Oscars, and, unlike most years at this point in the season, three of the highest-profile Oscars — best picture, best actor and best actress — still feel very much up for grabs. That’s in large part because the SAG Awards — which, over the last 30 years, has fairly consistently predicted the acting Oscar winners, as well as almost every major best picture Oscar surprise — featured some pretty striking selections Sunday night, when its 31st edition took place at the Shrine Auditorium in Los Angeles.

It’s important to note up front that Academy members’ final ballots were due back last Tuesday, so the results of the SAG Awards — which were handed out later this year due to the Los Angeles wildfires — will not impact Oscar voting … but they could offer hints of what to expect from it.

The roughly 160,000 members of SAG-AFTRA, the...
