It was a big night for diversity at the 2023 Emmys with five of the 12 acting Emmys being awarded to performers of color, tying the record set at the 1991 ceremony.  The first two awards of the night made history with wins for The Bear’s Ayo Edebiri and Abbot Elementary’s Quinta Brunson, marking the first time that the supporting and lead comedy actress Emmys have both gone to Black women in the same year. The same was previously accomplished in the drama categories with Viola Davis and Uzo Aduba in 2015. …

The Golden Globe Awards got a new look this year. Gone is the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, a weird cabal of foreign journalists who love nothing more than accepting gifts and hobnobbing/taking selfies with talent. That shadowy outfit disbanded last year in the wake of scandal. Now, the Golden Globes are owned by Dick Clark Productions (a subsidiary of Rolling Stone owner PMC), air on CBS, and have a host that makes Taylor Swift and Greta Gerwig very uncomfortable. Yes, the 81st annual Golden Globe Awards…

For Quinta Brunson, the end of the months-long SAG-AFTRA strike doesn’t mean a return to the familiar. Instead, it’s a chance for the Emmy Award-winning writer, producer, and actress to join her same set with a brand-new view on life, hard work, and stability.  The creator of ABC’s hit sitcom Abbott Elementary, Brunson has experienced a meteoric rise in Hollywood that many Tinseltown hopefuls could only dream of.

There’s a moment in Roger Ross Williams’ biopic of Saúl Armendáriz — a.k.a. Cassandro, the “Liberace of lucha libre” — when Gael García Bernal’s future wrestling superstar is about to debut his new persona in the ring. It’s a twist on the sport’s stock “exotico” characters, those homophobic caricatures of swishy gay men designed to make the masked heroes that much more masculine. Saúl’s new creation is different, however: He’s going to make the exotico a winner. He enters the arena, climbs up the…

So much of Hollywood 2023 was defined by strike rules — what talent could not do. Seth Rogen, Bradley Cooper, Ayo Edebiri, Devery Jacobs, Xolo Maridueña and others reveal how they celebrated big projects — including some big breakouts — away from the spotlight. Illustration by The Sporting Press In a year defined by the dual strikes, talent was muzzled, unable to promote projects many had…

It’s right there in the name. The first word in fact. So many times, movies, shows, or comics have focused on the “mutant”, “ninja,” or “turtles” aspects of the Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles. But what about their ages? We know that they’re teenagers, but are those awkward years ever the focus? Well, they most certainly were for the team behind Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles: Mutant Mayhem, and they brought it to life in a very unique way.
