Matthew Goode Joins 'The Crown' to Romance Princess Margaret

Posted:

The Weinstein Company's 'The Imitation Game' Los Angeles Special Screening Hosted By CHANEL - Red CarpetFirst, a lady, now a princess — Matthew Goode certainly knows how to romance British aristocracy.

The "Downton Abbey" actor is joining the cast of Netflix's Golden Globe-winning drama "The Crown" in season 2, reports the Radio Times. He'll play Antony Armstrong-Jones, a society photographer who marries Princess Margaret (Vanessa Kirkby) and becomes Lord Snowdon.

Goode proved he can pull off the white tie and tails when he starred in the final season of "Downton Abbey" as race car driver Henry Talbot, who romanced and wed Lady Mary Crawley. As Lord Snowdon (who recently died in real life), Goode will have the difficult task of sweeping Margaret off her feet after her devastating breakup with Peter Townsend.

"The Crown" is already filming season 2, which will cover Queen Elizabeth II's (Claire Foy) reign through 1964.

Netflix Rebooting 'Queer Eye For the Straight Guy'

Posted:

Time to make America fabulous again.

Netflix is rebooting the groundbreaking reality series "Queer Eye For the Straight Guy," reports Entertainment Weekly. The makeover series originally aired on Bravo from 2003 to 2007, and featured five New York gay experts in fashion, style, personal grooming, interior design and culture. They took the titular "straight guy" and revamped his wardrobe, home decor, food, and lifestyle.

Netflix said in a statement, "In a time when America stands divided and the future seems uncertain, a team of five brave men will try to bring us closer together with laughter, heart, and just the right amount of moisturizer. The Emmy Award-winning 'Queer Eye' is back and ready to Make America Fabulous Again. With a new Fab 5 and the show's toughest missions to date, 'Queer Eye' moves from the Big Apple to turn the Red States pink — one makeover at a time."

The original "Fab Five" — Ted Allen, Kyan Douglas, Thom Filicia, Carson Kressley, and Jai Rodriguez — may have some involvement in the new series, but Netflix is looking to cast new "Queer Eyes."

The reboot will be the streaming service's first docu-reality series; its first reality competition show, "The Ultimate Beastmaster" premieres Feb. 24.

'The Leftovers' Season 3 Trailer Teases the End Is Near

Posted:

The end is near for "The Leftovers."

HBO unveiled the trailer for the third and final season of the critically acclaimed drama. It's a haunting, disorienting video, set to the Beach Boys song "Don't Worry Baby." If you didn't think the Beach Boys could sound grim, well, you were wrong.

The trailer shows glimpses of Kevin Garvey (Justin Theroux), seemingly back to police work in Jarden, Texas. Carrie Coon also returns as Nora, as does Regina King and Kevin Carroll as the Murphys. But much of the season will be set in Australia, where Kevin travels to see his father.

It looks like the show will also check in on familiar faces, including Amy Brenneman, Christopher Eccleston, and Liv Tyler.

Here's the official synopsis released by HBO:

The new season, created by Damon Lindelof and Tom Perrotta, finds the Garvey and Murphy families coming together as they desperately grasp for a system of belief to help better explain that which defies explanation. The world is crackling with the energy of something big about to happen, a corresponding bookend to the Sudden Departure that sent them all spinning years earlier, bringing their journey Down Under.

The eight-episode final season of "The Leftovers" premieres Sunday, April 16 on HBO.

'DWTS' Co-Host Erin Andrews Opens Up About Fighting Cervical Cancer

Posted:

Build Presents Orange Theory Founder Dave Long Discussing Orange Theory With Erin AndrewsTV personality Erin Andrews has had a harder run of it than many of us realized.

The "Dancing With the Stars" co-host and sportscaster recently revealed in an interview with Sports Illustrated's MMQB that she was diagnosed with cervical cancer last September, just months after wrapping her high-profile privacy lawsuit.

The news is surprising considering that Andrews's work was barely interrupted while she was sick. With sports being her "escape," she was determined not to be stuck watching any football games from home. Therefore, in spite of having to have surgery in October, she was back at work within days. Clearly, she's tough.

"Should I have been standing for a full game five days after surgery?" Andrews told the MMQB. "Let's just say the doctor didn't recommend that."

Meanwhile, she kept her diagnosis largely private. "DWTS" sources confirmed as much to People magazine, sharing that she didn't tell her co-stars about her health problems.

"She doesn't show that things bother her, so you would never guess that she was going through something so awful as cancer," said one show insider.

Fortunately, Andrews is doing well and is still working as hard as ever. She's been busy with the NFL playoffs and is expected to return to "DWTS" Season 24, which premieres on March 20.

'Deadpool' Oscars Snub: Ryan Reynolds Has the Perfect Response

Posted:

MoMA's The Contenders Screening of DEADPOOL With Ryan ReynoldsAny hope of "Deadpool" winning an Oscar was crushed Tuesday when nominations were announced and the film came up empty-handed.

In spite of the disappointing news, star Ryan Reynolds seems unfazed. The actor reacted with a joke on Twitter, making it clear he'd taken the snub in stride. On top of that, he graciously congratulated all of those who did earn nods.

Both Reynolds and "Deadpool" itself were considered long shots to be nominated for Academy Awards for Best Actor and Best Picture, but there was some hope that they'd pop up among the contenders. Nonetheless, Reynolds appeared to be keeping his expectations in check throughout awards season.

"I've always said that I wish the Oscars had a category for comedy as well," Reynolds told Entertainment Weekly in December. "It's not an easy job. Oftentimes with comedies you have to have some pathos and real grit that in turn earns you the right to subvert expectations and be funny."

He likely wasn't surprised by the snub, but it's still nice he has a tickle-fight to look forward to.

Here's the full list of nominees. The Oscars will be awarded in a live ceremony on Sunday, Feb. 26 on ABC.

'Arrested Development' Season 5 May Mix Old and New

Posted:

Getting the stars of "Arrested Development" together is no easy task, so the producers are having to get creative with Season 5.

The upcoming season may rely heavily on flashbacks and even include new actors, TVLine reports. The newbies would play younger versions of the dysfunctional Bluth family, taking some of the load off the Netflix series' high-profile stars. A source tells the publication that the approach hasn't been decided upon for sure, but it's one way the show can go on while accommodating the schedules of its original cast.

The same scheduling issues arose when making the long-awaited fourth season, and the solution -- using a standalone-character format -- proved unpopular with many viewers. It's hard to say if fans will like the idea of different actors playing the Bluths any better, but the format would allow for more of the hilarious group scenes that work so well. As TVLine points out, Executive Producer Brian Grazer previously discussed the need to get creative at a TCA event earlier this month.

"I think we found a way to create the compensation structure for all the actors and create a work matrix so they can still make movies and do other things and it will all integrate," he told Deadline.

In the same interview, he revealed that they were "really close" to finalizing deals for Season 5, so if new actors are what it takes to get more "Arrested Development," we'll try to be open-minded about any changes.

"Arrested Development" Season 5 is rumored to begin shooting in June.

Oscars 2017: 'La La Land' Director Damien Chazelle Reacts to Record-Tying 14 Nominations

Posted:

The 2017 Academy Awards nominations have put the cherry on top of a stellar awards season for "La La Land" and the musical's director and screenwriter, Damien Chazelle.

The movie had already broken the record for most Golden Globe wins earlier in January, and now it has racked up a record-tying 14 Oscar nominations. Needless to say, it's been a good month for Chazelle. He still seemed to be processing the huge news when he spoke to Variety Tuesday and was understandably "a little speechless" and having to work to avoid "sounding like a stuttering maniac."

With its 14 nods, "La La Land" now ranks up there with "All About Eve" and "Titanic," the only other films in Academy Award history to have garnered so many nominations.

"When you mention those movies, it makes my head spin even more than it's spinning," he told Variety.

Chazelle's last film, "Whiplash," won three Oscars, so this isn't entirely new territory for the filmmaker. Still, he was clearly thrilled to be recognized, especially with his cast and crew.

"I got to see firsthand how much work and inventiveness and sleepless nights they brought to this movie," he said. "I'm filled with gratitude."

The lack of sleep and hard work clearly paid off. "La La Land" is poised to bring home multiple awards, and it could even top the 11-award record shared by "Ben Hur," "Titanic," and "The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King."

Here's the full list of nominees. The Oscars will be awarded in a live ceremony on Sunday, Feb. 26 on ABC.

Oscars 2017 Nominations: The 11 Biggest Snubs and Surprises

Posted:

The 2017 Oscar nominations yielded a fairly predictable group of trophy candidates, with "La La Land," "Moonlight," and "Arrival" dominating the list. Still, there were a few major inclusions and omissions that made jaws collectively drop. Here are the biggest WTF moments from the Academy's announcement.

1. Amy Adams
The five-time nominee may be an Academy favorite, but while she delivered not one but two awards-worthy 2016 performances -- in "Arrival" and "Nocturnal Animals" -- she wasn't nominated for either one. (Even though "Arrival" managed to score eight other nominations.)

Then again, anyone who expected Annette Bening ("20th Century Women") or Taraji P. Henson ("Hidden Figures") to earn a Best Actress nod was disappointed as well. On the other hand, congrats to Ruth Negga, often overlooked this awards season, for scoring a Best Actress nomination for biopic "Loving."

2. Martin Scorsese and "Silence" Denied
Scorsese is also an Academy favorite, but his movie "Silence," once expected to be a major contender this year, got nothing except for Best Cinematography. Actually, the other various awards organizations have also largely turned a deaf ear to "Silence," but still, that's gotta sting. Insult to injury department: Andrew Garfield, star of both "Silence" and "Hacksaw Ridge," was nominated only for the latter.

3. Mel Gibson
mel-gibson-hacksaw-ridgeBy the way, "Hacksaw" got six nominations, including Best Picture and Director, so apparently, Hollywood's forgiveness of Mel Gibson is now complete.

Other projected Best Director nominees as Denzel Washington ("Fences"), Garth Davis ("Lion"), and David Mackenzie ("Hell or High Water") came up empty-handed.

4. Hugh Grant Snubbed
Good will for "Florence Foster Jenkins" apparently extended only as far as Meryl Streep (her 20th nomination!) and those who costumed her. Grant was widely expected to get a Supporting Actor nod, but this category was full of surprises.

Lucas Hedges, not widely mentioned during awards season so far, grabbed one of the six nominations for "Manchester by the Sea." And Michael Shannon got one for "Nocturnal Animals," over his widely touted co-star (and Golden Globe winner) Aaron Taylor-Johnson.

5. No Love for Pixar
When's the last time the beloved animation studio missed out on a nomination? "Finding Dory" got swamped, but then so did several of last year's other popular animated features, including "Sing," "The Secret Life of Pets," and "Trolls."

The category offered instead some foreign-made surprise entries: "My Life as a Zucchini" (not that big a surprise, since it got a Golden Globe nomination as well) and "The Red Turtle," a dialogue-free fantasy romance from Studio Ghibli that was a big winner last year at Cannes but which has yet to make a splash on these shores.

6. "Deadpool"
Okay, the smash-hit superhero spoof was a longshot for Best Picture or Best Actor, but still, nada for adapted screenplay, editing, sound, or even make-up? C'mon, making Ryan Reynolds look hideously disfigured ought to be worth something.

7. Viggo Mortensen
The "Captain Fantastic" star's nomination for Best Actor was a mild surprise, but it was still a long shot. And there was no nomination for two-time winner Tom Hanks ("Sully") or for Negga's "Loving" co-star, Joel Edgerton.

8. "The Empty Chair"
Documentaries don't often generate Best Original Song nominees, but Sting's tune about slain journalist James Foley from "Jim: The James Foley Story" earned a nod over such pre-nomination favorites as Pharrell Williams and Lalah Hathaway's "Runnin'" ("Hidden Figures"), Shakira's "Try Everything," ("Zootopia"), and Stevie Wonder and Ariana Grande's "Faith" ("Sing").

9. No Love for "20th Century Women"
Mike Mills' follow-up to his Oscar-winning "Beginners" was widely expected to be a factor this year, with possible nods for directing and actresses Annette Bening and Greta Gerwig. But the film's only nod was for Mills' original screenplay.

At least he made it into that category; such prospective nominees as "Jackie" and "Zootopia" did not.

10. "Hunt for the Wilderpeople" Snubbed
This little-seen indie is one of the best films of 2016 (and of the decade), and it was virtually ignored during its platform release last summer. Its soft (read: practically non-existent) awards campaign didn't help it get the attention it deserves either. Another indie that fell off the Academy's radar...?

11. "Sing Street"
Dollars-to-donuts, this perfect indie gem is the original musical that everybody should be talking about. (Sorry not sorry, "La La Land.") Its catchy 80s ballads and resonate coming-of-age story put many a smile on the faces of those few that saw it, too bad that didn't extend to Oscar gold.

Here's How the 2017 Oscar Nominees Reacted to 'Exciting' News

Posted:

2012 Women In Film Crystal + Lucy Awards - Arrivals"What a morning"! For most of us, it's just Tuesday, Jan. 24. But for a select group of Hollywood folks, it's the day they were nominated for an Academy Award. For some, it's their first (maybe only) time to be nominated. Others (lookin' at you, 20-time nominee Meryl Streep) have been here many times before. But it's always pretty cool, and the stars shared their excitement in statements, tweets, GIFs, and other quotes (via Entertainment Weekly and The Hollywood Reporter).

Naomie Harris, nominated in the Best Supporting Actress category for "Moonlight," earned top mention with this simple, adorkable reaction tweet:

Emma Stone, Best Actress nominee, "La La Land":
"What a morning. I am so grateful for this honor and I'm so happy to share this feeling with my La La Land family. The greatest part of life is connecting with people, and I love the deeply talented, kind and passionate people I was lucky enough to work with on this movie. I'm also overjoyed that the movie has connected with audiences in the way it has, and that it's hopefully bringing a kick in their step to those who watch it. This is beyond any of our wildest imaginings and we can't wait to celebrate together."

Viggo Mortensen Best Actor nominee, "Captain Fantastic":
"I'm thrilled that CAPTAIN FANTASTIC has been included among this year's Academy nominees! Our movie has heart and brains. It entertains, inspires, and encourages honest communication in equal measures. I'm extremely proud to represent Matt Ross' extraordinary story. It is one of the finest collective efforts I've ever been a part of. YES WE CAN! I wish my mother, who loved movies and taught me about them, was still here to enjoy this moment."

Ryan Gosling, Best Actor nominee, "La La Land":
"I'm very grateful to the Academy for recognizing my work in La La Land. It was a true collaboration, so to see everyone else's wonderful work on the film acknowledged so generously makes it even more special."

Octavia Spencer, Best Supporting Actress nominee, "Hidden Figures":

Director Ava DuVernay, Best Documentary feature nominee, "13th":

Dev Patel, Best Supporting Actor nominee, "Lion":
"I just talked to my mum in London and she is screaming and crying and people are looking into her office to see what's wrong," Patel, who is currently filming in Mumbai, told The Hollywood Reporter. "These nominations only mean we will get more butts in the seats for a movie that talks about something that is very important — those lost children on the streets of India."

Viola Davis, Best Supporting Actress nominee, "Fences":
"Thank you to the Academy for recognizing this extraordinary, important film and my work in it. Thank you Denzel for being at the helm!"

Michelle Williams, Best Supporting Actress nominee, Manchester by the Sea":
"Thank you so much to the Academy for this recognition. Making this film was incredibly rewarding and none of it would have been possible without the guidance from our fearless leader, Kenneth Lonergan. I am thrilled to share this nomination with Kenny, Casey, Lucas and the rest of the cast, producers and crew. Congratulations to my fellow nominees. It is truly an honor to be included among such amazing women in this category."

Michael Shannon, Best Supporting Actor nominee, "Nocturnal Animals":
"I am thrilled! Loved making this film. I would work with Tom anytime, anywhere. Jake and Aaron and Karl made it easy for me. Nice to get some good news in the midst of all the carnage, so to speak."

Mel Gibson, Best Director nominee, "Hacksaw Ridge":
"What could be more exciting than listening to the nominations being announced while holding my newborn son! This is a truly wonderful honor. I'm especially happy for Andrew Garfield, our producers Bill Mechanic and David Permut, our editor John Gilbert and our incredible sound teams. The Academy's recognition of our film is a testament to every single person who worked on Hacksaw Ridge, and to every soldier who made the sacrifices they made to fight for their country, including Desmond Doss."

Lin-Manuel Miranda, Best Original Song nominee, "How Far I'll Go" from "Moana":
If the "Hamilton" creator wins, he'll be the youngest EGOT [Emmy, Grammy, Oscar, Tony) winner ever. He celebrated with a bunch of tweets:

Miranda also reacted to the win by telling THR: "It's so crazy, dude! I'm an Academy Awards dork. I'd cry at the Chuck Workman montages. I'd wait for them to shout out to Bill Conti when he was conducting. I'd memorize Billy Crystal's monologues that he used to write with Marc Shaiman, who I'm working on with Mary Poppins Returns right now, so to get to go to that party is really a great thrill."

Nicole Kidman, Best Supporting Actress nominee, "Lion":
"I want to thank the Academy for all of the acknowledgements you have given this heartfelt film. But, most importantly, I want to thank the Brierley family for putting themselves in such a vulnerable place and sharing their story with the world. And thanks to Garth Davis for putting his heart and soul into all of us. Woo Hoo!"

Kenneth Lonergan, Best Director and Best Original Screenplay nominee, "Manchester by the Sea":
"I'm really overwhelmed. Thank you, Academy members. Thank you and congratulations, wonderful, wonderful cast, producers and crew. It's such an honor to be counted alongside our fellow nominees and all the really extraordinary movies that came out this year. We tried to make a movie about people standing by each other no matter what; thank you to everyone who let us try, and to everyone out there trying to tell the truth about what it is to be a human being."

Jeff Bridges, Best Supporting Actor nominee, "Hell or High Water":
"Woke up this morning in beautiful Solana Beach after playing a cool gig at the Belly Up with my band the Abiders to find out I've been nominated for my performance in 'Hell or High Water.' What a thrill, especially for a movie that is so close to my heart. I really dug playing with Gil, Chris and Ben and being directed by the talented David Mackenzie. And such a GREAT script from Taylor. Woo Hoo! Thanks Academy."

Meryl Streep: Entertainment Weekly said that, when they reached out for comment on Meryl Streep's Best Actress nod for "Florence Foster Jenkins" -- her 20th nomination -- her rep just sent back this GIF:


Here's the full list of nominees. The Oscars will be handed out in a live ceremony on Sunday, Feb. 26 on ABC.

'Grey's Anatomy' Season 13 Photos Show Maggie's Mom, Owen Drama

Posted:

"Grey's Anatomy" Season 13, Episode 12 is none of your business. That's literally the title, which may be a dismissive quote from one character to another, but we'll have to wait until the episode airs on February 9 to be sure.

Season 13 returns from winter hibernation this Thursday, Jan. 26 with Episode 10, the maximum security prison-set "You Can Look (But You'd Better Not Touch)." Then we finally learn Dr. Alex Karev's fate on Feb. 2 in Episode 11, "Jukebox Hero."

Here's ABC's synopsis for what happens after that on Feb. 9 in "None of Your Business":

"Maggie gets a surprise visit from her mother at the hospital. Bailey has to make a difficult decision when one of the attendings refuses to work with Eliza, and Stephanie gets caught up in Owen and Amelia's personal drama."

ABC shared some teaser photos, including the one above of stars Kelly McCreary (Maggie Pierce), Jesse Williams (Jackson Avery), and Jessica Capshaw (Arizona Robbins). Below, you can see Martin Henderson (Nathan Riggs) and Kevin McKidd (Owen Hunt), presumably talking through the sudden departure of Owen's wife Amelia in the midseason finale. We also see a tight shot of Giacomo Gianniotti's DeLuca, who is still caught in the middle of the Alex drama. No clue what he's up to this week.

Entertainment Weekly also got an exclusive look at Maggie's mom, played by "Luke Cage" actress LaTanya Richardson Jackson, who also happens to be the wife of Samuel L. Jackson. You may recall that Maggie's adoptive parents were said to be getting a divorce. Her biological parents are Richard Webber and Ellis Grey, making her Meredith's half-sister and full (still unknowing) rival for Riggs's affection.

Check out the "None of Your Business" photos:

With that hair, and that book on Eleanor Roosevelt, you have to love Mama Maggie already.

"Grey's Anatomy" airs Thursdays at 8 p.m. on ABC.

Oscars 2017: Amy Adams & Tom Hanks Mistakenly Nominated on Official Site

Posted:

Oops! Some #alternativefacts made their way onto the official Oscars website this morning, accidentally giving Academy Award nominations to Amy Adams and Tom Hanks.

Visitors to the Oscars site shared screen grabs of the gaffes, showing Amy Adams in the Actress in a Leading Role category for "Arrival," and Tom Hanks as a sixth (!) nominee in the Actor in a Leading Role category for "Sully":

Sadly for Amy Adams, but happily for Ruth Negga, the "Loving" star was the correct fifth nominee. Not sure why Adams was placed in there, or how Hanks got shoved in as the sixth name in a five-person category, but it's all good now. That is, it's good for everyone but the fans who feel like Adams and Hanks were snubbed.

Later Tuesday morning, ABC released a statement on the error:

"This morning, in an attempt to release breaking news as announced, ABC Digital briefly posted inaccurate nomination information on the Oscar.com website. The nominees announced by the Academy on Twitter were accurate. ABC quickly identified and corrected the errors. We apologize to the Academy, press and fans for any confusion."

Hey, it happens to the best and worst of us alike. Here's the full list of actual nominees. The Oscars will be handed out in a live ceremony on Sunday, Feb. 26 on ABC.

Suspended 'SNL' Writer Apologizes for 'Insensitive Tweet' About Barron Trump

Posted:

US-POLITICS-INAUGURATION-PARADE-TRUMPEven "Saturday Night Live" has a joke line you can't cross.

SNL suspended writer Katie Rich "immediately" after her inauguration day tweet about President Trump's 10-year-old son, Barron. On Friday, Jan. 20, she wrote, "Barron will be this country's first homeschool shooter." Yikes. That tweet was deleted, and now the only tweet on her account is this apology:

The New York Times was the first to report the news of Rich's suspension, which was described as "indefinite." Deadline noted that Rich had been writing for SNL since December 2013, working exclusively on "Weekend Update." She was not listed in the credits for the Saturday, Jan. 21 episode.

As usual, with anything controversial -- especially politicized -- the public comment has been mixed. A few people defended the joke as just a joke, but many others called for Rich's dismissal.

Both sides of the aisle seem close to actually agreeing on one point: The children of public figures should be off limits for mockery. They did not sign up for this, they are just kids. On that note, "Modern Family" Julie Bowen also took some heat for her own inauguration day tweets about Barron looking like he was on his Gameboy or horrified with events, and she eventually replied to criticism:

Oscar Nominations 2017: Here's the List of Academy Award Nominees

Posted:

los angeles feb 21 oscar...And we're off! The Academy Awards -- Hollywood's own Super Bowl -- will air live Sunday, Feb. 26 on ABC. We now know who is (and is not) in the running to humble-brag at the 89th annual ceremony, hosted by first-timer Jimmy Kimmel.

As expected, "La La Land" dominated the list with 14 nominations. That ties the musical with "Titanic" and "All About Eve" for the most-ever nominations.
