Oscars 2023 Nominations: The Most Shocking Snubs and Surprises

10 days ago Vanity Fair

The Oscars 2023 nominations are finally here and wow, didn’t see some of those coming. Read on for our awards expert’s analysis of this years biggest snubs and surprises. We’ll have more on that latter snub in a minute, but for now: Consider Academy campaigning completely turned on its head. At minimum, the Korean master’s crafty homage to romantic noir felt assured of a nod for best international feature. By the time Williams and Ahmed announced best international feature, and Bardo didn't make the cut, the endpoint of its precipitous decline as a player felt assuredly grim.

Domhnall Gleeson Unpacks His Serial-Killer Arc From The Patient

The Patient concludes the only way possible: With Domhnall Gleeson strangling Steve Carell to death. Sam would never turn himself over to authorities like the notorious Edmund Kemper (otherwise known as the Co-Ed Killer) did in 1973. Vanity Fair: What was your reaction when you found out Sam would kill Dr. Strauss at the end of the series? The letter that Dr. Strauss writes to his children—the way that was done, I found it incredibly moving, and I knew that Steve would deliver it beautifully. So I’m not sure, and I think if you ask [The Patient creators] Joe Weisberg and Joel Fields, they might answer completely differently to me.

Steve Bannon, Who Is Not Even a Little Bit Sorry for Defying Congress, Gets 4-Month Prison Sentence

Noting that Bannon would not be telling the court “I’m sorry,” defense attorney David Schoen claimed that his client believed he was doing the right thing when he flagrantly ignored the congressional subpoena. While Judge Nichols clearly disagreed, he did not sentence Bannon to the full six-month, $200,000 penalty that the government had asked for this week. He also did not send the Trump adviser directly to jail, instead allowing him to remain free pending his appeal. If he doesn’t file an appeal, he must turn himself in by November 15. Defying Congress is not the only legal issue Bannon is facing at the moment.

COVID-19 Origins: Investigating a “Complex and Grave Situation” Inside a Wuhan Lab

Along the way, he picked up Khmer, the national language of Cambodia, and achieved fluency in Chinese. Its older Xiaohongshan campus is just eight miles from the crowded seafood market where COVID-19 first burst into public view. The WIV triumphantly announced its completion in February 2015, and it was cleared to begin full research by early 2018. The research carried out there must advance the goals of the Chinese Communist Party (CCP). As Reid burrowed into the party branch dispatches, he became riveted by the unfolding picture.

“I Like Our Chances”: Chris Licht Stresses Relevance Over Ratings to Kick Off CNN’s New Morning Show

Everybody has a morning show, and there are some very good morning shows that have established audiences, so I am not pretending that this is gonna be easy. But I think we are offering something that is unique and fills a void that’s not being met by the other very good morning shows. I like our chances.”Regardless of Licht’s expectations, it’s fair to say the stakes for CNN This Morning are high. Part of that is because the morning is what made Licht an industry hot shot, first with Morning Joe and later with CBS This Morning, which Licht executive-produced before entering the late-night ring with Stephen Colbert. The morning broadcast shows tend to perform in the range of 2.5 to 3.5 million total viewers, depending on the network.

Prince William and Kate Middleton Are Greeted By Rain—And a Crowd—at Boston City Hall

In a speech discussing the Earthshot Prize, the climate prize he founded in 2020, he thanked “all the hardy Bostonians for braving the rain this evening,” speaking in front of a sea of umbrellas. William and Kate stood onstage alongside Boston’s Mayor Michelle Wu and Massachusetts governor-elect Maura Healy, and the group watched as green lights illuminated City Hall. Before the public ceremony, William and Kate met with Wu, her husband Conor Pewarski, and their two sons, Blaise and Cass, where the group discussed composting and Kate, wearing a Burberry dress, inquired about the boys’ schoolwork. Wu also showed the prince and princess black-and-white photos of Queen Elizabeth II’s visit to the city in 1976. in 1986, King Charles III, then the Prince of Wales, visited to deliver a speech at the 350th anniversary celebrations for Harvard University.

The Most Deceptively Difficult Scene in Top Gun: Maverick

But it’s almost hard to wrap your head around the amount of planning, pre-planning, rehearsal, and specific execution that went into the action sequences of Top Gun: Maverick, filmed in actual fighter jets with the actors themselves switching on the six cameras mounted inside the cockpit. And the big bar scene where Maverick (Tom Cruise) reunites with Penny (Jennifer Coolidge) required intricate camera choreography and even a rewrite in the edit room that made their relationship all the more meaningful. What do you remember about that big Cinema Con screening of Top Gun: Maverick in the spring of 2022? The last time I had seen it was with a test audience, we finished the film in 2020. I talked to Eddie Hamilton, your editor, a little while ago, and he talked about finishing the movie in the pandemic basically.

Will Harry and Meghan Fatigue Threaten the Sussex Content Kingdom?

“When the source of your content and your narrative and storytelling is just a giant pity party, it’s over,” one executive told me. Everyone’s shaking their heads.” Another said, “Okay, now you’ve told all this shit, but there’s a shelf life to these things. (I was assured that Meghan is not in fact working on a book, despite reports in the British press to the contrary.) In signing with Netflix, undoubtedly the highest bidder, Harry and Meghan took a pass on other opportunities. This raises the question of whether Harry and Meghan are even committed to building a media business in the long-term, after their initial contracts with Netflix and Spotify expire.

Palace Insiders Say Prince William Is Already Furious About Prince Harry’s Memoir Leaks

Prince William will not forgive Prince Harry for spilling their closest secrets, friends of the Prince of Wales have said after Harry revealed how he and William came to physical blows over Meghan Markle in 2019. Kensington Palace and Buckingham Palace have so far declined to comment on Harry’s version of the alleged altercation. In the excerpt published in the Guardian, Harry claims that a furious argument broke out between the brothers in the kitchen of his London home in 2019. The fact that Harry has written about private family moments and the specifics of intimate conversations will be concerning and upsetting for the royals. One source who was with William just before Christmas told Vanity Fair: “William worries everything and anything he says will be made public.
