Sandra Oh and Awkwafina proved to be a terrific duo this year in their hit Hulu telefilm “Quiz Lady.” The flick follows the pair as estranged sisters who must reunite and work together in order to pay for their mother’s gambling debts via the game show that one of them is obsessed with.
Oh and Awkwafina subvert expectations with their performances here with Oh playing the zany, wild sister and Awkwafina turning in a subdued performance as the awkward, restrained, quieter one. These dual performances have become the foundation of overwhelmingly positive notices for “Quiz Lady.”
Charles Bramesco (Indie Wire) opined: “The odd couple… shares a sensational chemistry, building on the base amusement of seeing Oh let her extension-laden hair down and Awkwafina crimp the straight-man character into weird new shapes.”
Emma Simmonds (Radio Times) observed: “Awkwafina and Sandra Oh prove a match made in comedy heaven in this...

Once again, the Emmy Awards nominations don’t include a slew of TV favorites. Among the most notable snubs: Emma Stone for Best Drama Actress and a complete shutout of her Showtime series “The Curse.” Equally surprising was “Shogun” supporting actresses Moeka Hoshi and Fumi Nikaido missing the ballot. On the comedy side, Netflix’s “The Gentlemen” missed for Comedy Series and a forecasted bid for its star Theo James. And although “The Bear” had a solid morning overall, Abby Elliott wasn’t able to ride the wave of fortune in Best Comedy Supporting Actress. Oliver Platt and Matty Matheson were also snubbed on the Supporting Actor side.
Below, we enumerate the top 50 Emmys snubs in our estimation. These were the shows and performers that we thought had a strong chance to number among this year’s nominees. Let us know if there are others missing from this list that...

Before Jake Lacy graduated drama school, he had to make a huge decision: picking his stage name. Born Jameson Griffin Lacy, he planned on using his given moniker throughout his career. But, after seeing his decision, his dean questioned him: “Who is this Jameson? You’re the most Jake person I know!”
Lacy, who plays Troy Delaney on potential Emmy nominee “Apples Never Fall,” said on an episode of the Variety Awards Circuit Podcast that he thinks plenty of actors are pigeon holed in the industry, but he can chameleon around and play a multitude of characters: “I’ve never been a star. Most people don’t know who I am or recognize me… Now it feels like there’s a little wider scope there as to what people will see me for or think of me as.” Listen below!

Exclusive: Republic Pictures has snagged two more movies, taking global rights to Saoirse Ronan-starrer Bad Apples and international rights to horror rom-com Heart Eyes.
Paramount revived the historic label in 2023 with a remit to acquire third-party fare. Paramount’s Chief Content Licensing Officer, Dan Cohen, is also President of Republic Pictures. He shared the news of its latest acquisitions with Deadline and broke down the strategy at Republic ahead of his keynote at the Monte Carlo TV Festival.
Bad Apples is a satirical comedy with thriller elements. Republic Pictures acquired the Pulse Films-produced movie from HanWay Films. Saoirse Ronan stars as a teacher who accidentally locks the titular bad apple – a badly-behaved student – in her basement, with comedic and dramatic consequences. Based on Rasmus Lindgren’s novel De Oönskade, Jonatan Etzler directs from Jess O’Kane’s script.

It is impossible for us to stop talking about Al Pacino, the method actor, who has delivered a number of masterpieces, including Francis Ford Coppola’s The Godfather. The Oscar-winning actor, 83, has had an illustrious career spanning five decades and counting, earning him millions of dollars and making him one of Hollywood’s most recognizable stars.
Well, any actor would eventually encounter some level of controversy in the course of their career, and Pacino is by no means an exception. Even though the acclaimed actor has starred in some challenging roles in the past, nothing compares to the 1980 flick Cruising, since the entire movie was controversial.

Before you make your 2024 Emmy predictions for Best TV Movie, take a look through our photo gallery featuring the telefilms most likely to land in this year’s lineup. As it stands, Peacock’s “Mr. Monk’s Last Case” (a continuation of the eight-time Emmy-winning 2000s comedy series “Monk”) is comfortably leading the race.
“Mr. Monk’s Last Case” would be the first Peacock movie ever nominated in this category, as would “Genie” or “Shooting Stars.”
Last year, Hulu’s “Fire Island” and “Prey” were both passed over in favor of The Roku Channel’s “Weird: The Al Yankovic Story,” but the streamer could soon avenge those losses with “No One Will Save You,” “Quiz Lady,” or “Self Reliance.”
Netflix – which won this award for three “Black Mirror” installments (2017-2019) as well as “Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square” (2021) – can now achieve its fifth victory with “Scoop” or “Unfrosted.”

The passing of William Friedkin last August put a cloud over what ended up being his final film, The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial. At the same time, it predsented an opportunity to celebrate the legendary director, whether it’s from his fans or those he has worked with. Now, the star of the film, Keifer Sutherland, remembers just how special it was for him to collaborate with Friedkin.
Speaking at a recent panel, Keifer Sutherland spoke highly of the late William Friedkin, saying that seeing 1971’s The French Connection on the big screen as a teen had a tremendous influence on his appreciation for cinema and the craft of acting. “William Freakin was responsible for me…I was working as a theater actor – I was only 15, 16 years old in Toronto, Canada. My mother was a great theater actor. It’s the community I grew up in and I was very dedicated to.

When the late, legendary filmmaker William Friedkin called Kiefer Sutherland to gauge his interest in playing the lead in the Showtime and Paramount+ film The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, the actor hung up almost immediately. But not because he wasn’t interested in working with the director he’d long revered, Sutherland explained. “I thought it was one of my friends making a joke.”
During Sutherland’s appearance at Deadline’s Contenders Television panel alongside producers Annabelle Dunne and Matt Parker, Sutherland revealed that Friedkin had exerted a powerful influence on his professional path from an early age.
“William Freakin was responsible for me,” Sutherland said of his desire to work in film. “I was working as a theater actor – I was only 15, 16 years old in Toronto, Canada. My mother was a great theater actor. It’s the community I grew up in and I was very dedicated to. That was...

Late auteur Peter Bogdanovich is still just a handshake away per his posthumous podcast, “One Handshake Away.”
Prior to Bogdanovich’s January 2022 death, the filmmaker recorded a series of interviews with fellow directors such as Guillermo del Toro, Quentin Tarantino, Ken Burns, and Rian Johnson to discuss their biggest cinematic influences.
Per Deadline, Bogdanovich named the podcast “One Handshake Away” to honor the relationship between contemporary directors and pioneering filmmakers, with each filmmaker being “one handshake away” from one another in film history.
After Bogdanovich’s passing, del Toro took over the podcast and recorded the final three episodes, interviewing Greta Gerwig, Julie Delpy, and Allison Anders, which included discussing the works of Howard Hawks, Fritz Lang, and Raoul Walsh.

As usual, our often brutally honest forum posters did not hold back when reacting to the results of the 2024 Critics Choice Awards. When it came to the 20 TV categories, there were moments when they joined together in celebration of both wins and losses, while arguments sprang from more divisive victories.
Below is just a taste of what went on in the forums during the live telecast, which was broadcast on The CW and hosted by Chelsea Handler. Take a look, then join in if you’re brave enough.

Sunday’s Critics Choice Awards pretty much stuck to the same script as last week’s Golden Globes, with Netflix’s Beef, Hulu’s The Bear and HBO’s Succession emerging as the big TV winners.
Both Beef and The Bear won four trophies apiece, including Best Limited Series and Best Comedy Series, respectively. Succession, meanwhile, snagged three awards, including Best Drama Series.

Following The Film Stage’s collective top 50 films of 2023, as part of our year-end coverage, our contributors are sharing their personal top 10 lists.
One of the problems of the award season industrial complex that takes over film discourse in the early months of the year is that it tends to reduce great films to talking points. It also encourages groupthink, even if some of the nominated films are, well, deserving of those nominations. There’s the predictable pattern of acclaim, backlash, backlash to the backlash, and then maybe a few awards and the hopes of a short memory about how the awards campaign went.
Thus, creating a top-ten is always a bit tough. It’s a mixture of subjective and objective critiques, personal preferences mixed with universally regarded favorites. With that, there’s been more than enough written about Killers of the Flower Moon, Oppenheimer, Barbie, The Holdovers, etc. that...

It’s that time of year again. While some directors annually share their favorite films of the year, Steven Soderbergh lists everything he consumed, media-wise. For 2023––another year in which he not only Magic Mike’s Last Dance Review: Steven Soderbergh and Channing Tatum Take a Familiar, Gentle Bow”>released a new film, but dropped two TV series (Full Circle and Command Z“>Command Z) and shot another film (the Sundance-bound Presence)––he still got plenty of watching in.
Along with catching up on 2023’s new releases, Ferrari, Anatomy of a Fall, How to Blow Up a Pipeline, Air, Reality, Dead Reckoning, among others), he took in plenty of classics, including Eyes Wide Shut, Kind Hearts and Coronets, Casablanca, Out of the Past, The Shining, the epic War and Peace, Raiders of the Lost Ark, and, following Tom Wilkinson’s passing, Michael Clayton.

Welcome to The B-Side, from The Film Stage. Here – today – we talk about movie Editors! Not the movies they edited that were legendary but the less legendary ones in between.
Today we speak with the great editor Darrin Navarro about the lauded editor Sam O’Steen, who worked on such masterpieces as The Graduate, Rosemary’s Baby, and Chinatown. The O’Steen-edited films we cover today are: The Day of the Dolphin, Straight Time, Nadine, and A Dry White Season.
Navarro talks about the editing process with William Friedkin (and how it changed a bit with The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial), how knowing when not to cut is as important as knowing when to cut when editing a film, O’Steen’s essential book Cut to the Chase: Forty-Five Years of Editing America’s Favourite Movies (written with his wife Bobbie O’Steen), and what a gem of a film Nadine is.

Was 2023 a good year for movies? The end of each moviegoing year always raises that age-old question and, as always, the ultimate answer remains squarely in the eye of the beholder. For most, that tends to come down to the most populist theatrical offerings. If the latest superhero sequels and nostalgic remakes and most highly-anticipated blockbusters failed to live up to their crowd-pleasing billing, well, at least there's always next year. But for those of us who spend entirely too much time and effort on the hunt for hidden gems beneath the surface, international cinema from the most exciting talent around the globe, and overlooked indies that didn't have millions of marketing dollars to throw around, that turns out to be the wrong question to ask in the first place.
What we should be talking about is whether we've caught up on all the undeniably great movies readily available to us,...

As we close the book on 2023 and take stock of the best that this year delivered in movies and TV, let's not forget the bad guys. Villains are paradoxical characters; we love them precisely for how bad they can be, and if a story invests you in its villain, you can be cheering in equal measure as they rise and then as they fall. And then, of course, there's the sons of b*tches you just really want to see go down.
"Best villains" sounds similarly oxymoronic. So, why are these villains the ones who deserve the highlight? These are the bad guys who are not just wholly formed and compelling in their own right, but who further the themes of the story surrounding them and best challenge both the hero's goals and the writer's point(s). Stories are a reflection of the world in which they are told, so...

As we close in on the 2024 Golden Globe nominations, we’re predicting that, for the first time in its four-season history, HBO’s “Succession” will dominate on the TV side. Our official odds have the recently concluded drama series reaping a whopping six bids, matching the incredible single-year showings of just two other post-2010 programs: “Big Little Lies” (2018) and “The Crown” (2021).
In a close second (and leading the comedy pack) is Hulu’s “Only Murders in the Building” with five expected mentions. We’re anticipating four bids apiece for the laffers “Abbott Elementary,” “The Bear,” and “Ted Lasso” as well as for period drama “The Crown” on its sixth and final outing.
Among telefilms and limited series, we forecast a good morning for “Beef” and “Daisy Jones & the Six,” each of which are poised to compete in three categories. Also tipped to pull off a triple play are continuing...

The 2024 Golden Globes nominations will be announced on Monday, December 11. The winners will be revealed in a ceremony on CBS on January 7, 2024. We’ve been busy canvassing industry insiders plus our own in-house team of editors, the readers who did the best last year (Top 24) and for the past two years (All-Stars) plus thousands of readers for their predictions.
We’ve combined these into official racetrack odds. Scroll down to see the full line-up on the TV side with our projected winners highlighted in gold. Reflecting two major Golden Globes rule changes, each category includes six predicted nominees rather than the usual five, and the supporting races are back to only being divided by gender after having also been separated by format (comedy/drama series; TV movie/limited series) in 2023.

The 2024 Critics Choice TV Awards nominations were revealed on Tuesday, December 5 with Apple TV+’s “The Morning Show” leading the pack with six mentions, including its first for Best Drama Series. Following closely behind with five bids is HBO’s “Succession,” which is now eligible for a third and final victory in the top drama category after winning in 2020 and 2022.

David Fincher’s new film, The Killer, has now been released, and many are glowing about its slick filmmaking. Michael Fassbender stars as a contract killer who is particular in his ways and the intricate procedure in which he goes about his job. While many may feel the plot itself is simplistic, the Netflix film features Fincher’s distinct style. In a review from our own Chris Bumbray, he expresses, “As usual for a Fincher movie, The Killer is impeccably crafted, running a lean two hours and sporting Fincher’s signature cold, dark look via Dp Erik Messerschmidt. The score by Atticus Ross and Trent Reznor is more sparse than usual, and the sound design is intricate enough that if you get a chance to see this theatrically, you should.”
Among the fans of the film, director Guillermo Del Toro is someone in particular who the movie really won over.

"The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial" is a new Showtime legal drama feature, directed by the late William Friedkin ("The Exorcist"), based on Herman Wouk's 1952 novel "The Caine Mutiny", starring Kiefer Sutherland, Jason Clarke, Jake Lacy, Monica Raymund and Lance Reddick, now streaming on Paramount+:
"...when a 'US Naval Captain' shows signs of mental instability that jeopardizes the safety of his ship, the first officer relieves him of command and faces court-martial for mutiny.
"'Greenwald', a skeptic lawyer, reluctantly defends 'Maryk', an officer of the navy who took control of the vessel from its dominant 'Captain Queeg' while caught in a violent sea storm.
"Greenwald becomes increasingly concerned as the court martial proceeds and questions if the 'Caine' was a true mutiny or simply the courageous acts of a group of sailors that could not trust their unstable leader..."

(Welcome to Under the Radar, a column where we spotlight specific movies, shows, trends, performances, or scenes that caught our eye and deserved more attention ... but otherwise flew under the radar. In this edition: director Kitty Green and star Julia Garner keep the bad times rolling in "The Royal Hotel," the late, great William Friedkin says goodbye with one last banger in "The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial," and Maggie Betts' "The Burial" delivers a very different kind of courtroom drama.)
Oftentimes, there can be a certain kind of temptation with columns like these. In our enthusiasm to shine a light on the under-seen gems that not enough viewers may be aware of, writers like yours truly can go a little too far in singing the praises of movies that were never meant to be held up as "perfect" or "award-worthy" in the first place -- whatever your definition of those highly subjective terms may be.

If “Rear Window meets Life Is Beautiful” sounds like an all-timer of a cursed elevator pitch, then there’s nothing Michael A. Goorjian’s well-intentioned crowd-pleaser Amerikatsi will be able to do to win you over. A stubbornly unfashionable blend of broad comedy and highly sentimental prisoner-of-war drama, it’s paint-by-numbers middlebrow cinema of the kind the Weinstein Company would release regularly, albeit on a much more contained budget. While there is some brief novelty factor that movies of this distinctively Weinsteinian vintage are still getting made outside Hollywood, even as the broader cinematic landscape has moved past emulating that studio’s tried-and-tested formula in the hopes of awards success,...

The late Lance Reddick and Annie Wersching were not forgotten in the Season 2 premiere of Freevee’s Bosch: Legacy. The show paid tribute to the two original series alums in the Bosch spinoff’s Season 2 opening with a title card dedication that read “In Loving Memory of Our Friends Annie Wersching and Lance Reddick.” Both died earlier this year.
Wersching portrayed Officer Julia Brasher as a series regular in Season 1 of Bosch and continued as a recurring guest star in seasons 2 and 7. She died of cancer in January at the age of 45. Also known for her work on 24 and Timeless, Wersching continued to shoot even after her 2020 cancer diagnosis, with prominent roles in Star Trek: Picard as the Borg queen in Season 2, and The Rookie. She also voiced Tess in the popular The Last of Us video game, which was adapted into a TV series by HBO.

It’s always great to hear directors gush about their colleagues, and few do it with the same enthusiasm as Guillermo del Toro. While speaking with IndieWire, Guillermo del Toro spoke about the late William Friedkin and his experience serving as the backup director on The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, Friedkin’s final movie.
“He is an original,” Guillermo del Toro said of William Friedkin. “He blends the lessons of documentary with complex and precise technology and narrative prowess. Every decision he makes is infused with his idiosyncrasies, his personality. Look at the ending of ‘The French Connection’ — that final frame he holds, brutal, mercilessly elliptical — or the final minutes of ‘The Exorcist,’ how he lands the audience softly out of the experience but never loses the mystery. Then try and figure out the mastery in ‘Sorcerer’ or ‘To Live and Die in L.A.’“

There’s something soothing about watching the stresses of a courtroom drama unfold — likely the same compulsion that leads to so many of us watching and rewatching “Law & Order.” As we go about our days and suffer through the small indignities of our jobs and our commutes and our lives, courtroom dramas offer the promise of hubris punished by Nemesis in its “retributive justice” sense.
Not every courtroom drama offers justice (but then neither does our legal system) and not every courtroom drama hinges on seeing the bad punished; in many instances, we are rooting for the unjustly accused to be exonerated. With the recent premieres of William Friedkin’s final film, “The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial,” and Justine Triet’s Cannes-winning “Anatomy of a Fall” (which lays bare the idiosyncracies of the French judicial system), here are 12 great examples of their peers.

With the recent premieres of William Friedkin’s final film, “The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial,” and Justine Triet’s Cannes-winning “Anatomy of a Fall” (which lays bare the idiosyncracies of the French judicial system), here are 12 great examples of their peers.

On Friday, October 6, cinephiles were given a precious gift when Showtime dropped one last film by the late, great William Friedkin: an adaptation of Herman Wouk’s play “The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial.” The film is classic Friedkin, a clinic in blocking, editing, and camera movement reminiscent of earlier theatrical adaptations like “The Birthday Party,” “The Boys in the Band,” and “Bug.”
While there are many filmmaking lessons to be learned from studying the piece, one notable Friedkin disciple had the chance to examine the director’s process firsthand: Guillermo del Toro, who shadowed Friedkin throughout production as a backup in case the 87-year-old filmmaker was unable to complete the movie.
Long before he ever met Friedkin, del Toro was an admirer of his work. “He is an original,” del Toro told IndieWire. “He blends the lessons of documentary with complex and precise technology and narrative prowess. Every decision he...

"...when a 'US Naval Captain' shows signs of mental instability that jeopardizes the safety of his ship, the first officer relieves him of command and faces court-martial for mutiny.
"'Greenwald', a skeptic lawyer, reluctantly defends 'Maryk', an officer of the navy who took control of the vessel from its dominant 'Captain Queeg' while caught in a violent sea storm.
"Greenwald becomes increasingly concerned as the court martial proceeds and questions if the 'Caine' was a true mutiny or simply the courageous acts of a group of sailors that could not trust their unstable leader..."

Long before he made Popeye Doyle race a Brooklyn subway and Regan MacNeil’s head spin, William Friedkin began his career doing live TV. He’d move on to an episode of The Alfred Hitchcock Hour, short documentaries, a Sonny-and-Cher joint (Good Times), theatrical adaptations (The Birthday Party, The Boys in the Band), and then an all-guts-all-glory double shot that instantly made him a New Hollywood power player. But like a lot of directors coming up in the early 1960s, his roots were with actors, words, conflict, and not much more.

Relationships are curving and crumbling in two of this week’s streaming premieres, both highly worth watching. In fact, all four movies on this list concern the breakdown of something — romance, democracy, trust. Each of them is gripping, thoughtful, and surprisingly humorous.
The contender to watch this week: “Fair Play“
One of the best-reviewed movies from this year’s Sundance Film Festival, “Fair Play” sparked a bidding war that resulted in a reported $20 million sale to Netflix. Alden Ehrenreich and “Bridgerton” breakout Phoebe Dynevor play Wall Street hedge-fund analysts whose competitive ambitions throw a wrench in their clandestine romance. The sexy, sharp-edged thriller has a propulsive script that hints at more good things to come from writer/director Chloe Domont, who has previously shepherded episodes of “Ballers,” “Billions,” and other TV series. “Fair Play” got a limited theatrical release last week and is now on Netflix.

In 1954, the unparalleled Humphrey Bogart donned the costume of navy captain Philip Queeg in the classic The Ciane Mutiny. 69 years later, William Friedkin reimagines the movie in modern times and uses the material of Herman Wouk to craft the masterful cinematic masterpiece The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial. Premiering on Paramount+ and Showtime, the movie stars a fantastic ensemble cast, starring Kiefer Sutherland, Lance Reddick, Jason Clarke, and Jake Lacy, among others. There’s not much change in scenery, and the movie rests entirely on dialogue and expressions, and yet, it’s a fantastic piece of work. Here’s a detailed review of The Caine Mutiny Court-Martial, the final work crafted by Friedkin before he left the world at the age of 87. This movie also carries one of the final appearances of Lance Reddick before his untimely death earlier this year.
