    In the clip, she said, “We just finished filming forever, like ever, ever. We’re done, we’re never filming again – isn’t that so crazy?! So we’re having a drink with the crew in my backyard, hanging out. Cheers to – I don’t know. 15 years; 20 seasons of craziness and lots of love.”

    The Kardashian family announced the decision to end the show in September 2020. Kim wrote in a statement at the time, “It is with heavy hearts that we’ve made the difficult decision as a family to say goodbye to Keeping Up with the Kardashians.”
    She continued, “After what will be 14 years, 20 seasons, hundreds of episodes and numerous spin-off shows, we are beyond grateful to all of you who’ve watched us for all of these years – through the good times, the bad times, the happiness, the tears, and the many relationships and children. We’ll forever cherish the wonderful memories and countless people we’ve met along the way.”
    “Thank you to the thousands of individuals and businesses that have been a part of this experience,” she added, “and, most importantly, a very special thank you to Ryan Seacrest for believing in us, E! for being our partner, and our production team at Bunim/Murray, who’ve spent countless hours documenting our lives.”
    Fans of the Kardashians won’t have to wait too long for the stars to be back onscreen – they have since signed a new deal with Disney officials to launch new projects on their Hulu streaming service.

    SAG Awards 2021 Gets Bumped to April to Avoid Clash With Grammys

    The Screen Actors Guild Awards was initially scheduled to take place on March 14 before music’s big night got rescheduled to the same date due to ongoing COVID-19 concerns.

    Jan 14, 2021
    AceShowbiz – The 2021 Screen Actors Guild Awards have moved to April to avoid a clash with the Grammys.
    Music’s big night was rescheduled to 14 March (21) last week (ends January 08), due to ongoing COVID concerns, upsetting SAG bosses who had already moved their prizegiving from 24 January to that date.
    SAG-AFTRA union officials went public with their displeasure stating, “We announced the same date for the SAG Awards last July with the intent to give the greatest possible scheduling consideration for other awards shows. We expect the same consideration from sister organizations throughout the industry.”
    Bosses at the actors union immediately engaged in discussions with Recording Academy officials, who run the Grammy Awards, about the clash. “In an environment that is increasingly challenging for televised awards programs, we also have a mutual interest in successfully showcasing the artistry and talent of our respective memberships,” the statement continued to read.

    “We are in contact with the Recording Academy and will continue to work with our sister organisations to find ways to make this year’s awards season as successful as possible,” they said at the time.
    But rather than fight Grammy bosses, SAG Awards chiefs have optioned a new date – 4 April.

    SAG Awards nominations are being accepted now and will be announced on 4 February. Voting will now close on 30 March, rather than 10 March.
    As for the Grammys, the nominations were already announced in November 2020, with Beyonce Knowles leading the pack.

    The final eight episodes of season eight, written and executive produced by Perry, are set to premiere in May.

Karma has not been kind to the elite one percenters.
    Sharing the news, Oprah Winfrey writes in a statement, “‘The Haves and the Have Nots’ was the first scripted drama we aired on OWN, and to say it took off from the first day it hit the air is an understatement.”
    “It’s all due to one man’s creativity and very vivid imagination, a man I refer to as my ‘big little brother,’ Tyler Perry. I thank Tyler, the incredible cast, the tireless crew and every single viewer who watched with bated breath each week and tweeted along with us these past eight years. I will be watching alongside you all during this final season.”

    Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio Are Nerdy Scientists in First Footage of 'Don't Look Up'

    [embedded content]

    Also included in Netflix’s 2021 movie slate is ‘Red Notice’, an action comedy starring Dwayne Johnson, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds, which the streaming service also offers a glimpse of.

    Jan 13, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Home entertainment will be merrier and more colorful this year with a bunch of films prepared by Netflix for the next twelve months. The streaming giant has previewed its original movies as part of its 2021 slate and among the highly-anticipated ones is “Don’t Look Up”.
    Hyping up the anticipation, Netflix shared the first footage of the Adam McKay-directed flick in a sneak peek released on Tuesday, January 12. The video offers a glimpse of Jennifer Lawrence and Leonardo DiCaprio as nerdy scientists.
    Against what’s instructed by the movie’s title, both of them can’t help raise their heads to look at the sky upon arriving in what looks like a military aircraft. The expression on DiCaprio’s face gives a sign of weariness.
    The political satire disaster film centers on two low-level astronomers (Lawrence and DiCaprio) who discover that a meteor will hit Earth in six months. They will embark on an unsuccessful media tour in an attempt to warn the world of the impending danger that may destroy mankind.

    The film has star-studded cast which also includes Meryl Streep, Jonah Hill, Cate Blanchett, Timothee Chalamet, Himesh Patel, Kid Cudi, Matthew Perry, Ariana Grande and Chris Evans. An exact release date is yet to be announced as production on the film is still underway.
    The preview also offers a look at “Red Notice”, an action comedy thriller film written and directed by Rawson Marshall Thurber. It stars Dwayne “The Rock” Johnson, Gal Gadot and Ryan Reynolds, who introduce the video.
    According to the official synopsis, “an INTERPOL-issued Red Notice is a global alert to hunt and capture the world’s most wanted. But when a daring heist brings together the FBI’s top profiler (Johnson) and two rival criminals (Gadot, Reynolds), there’s no telling what will happen.”
    With those two movies, “The Woman in the Window”, “Beauty”, “The Harder They Fall”, “Army of the Dead” and “Tick, Tick … Boom!” just to name a few among the lineup, Netflix promised to release “a new movie EVERY WEEK.”

All of these people are here to help you, but you have to do your part.”

    Riz Ahmed Likens Classism at Oxford University to That of British Film Industry

    WENN/Avalon

    The ‘Sound of Metal’ star admits his experience as a student at the prestigious university taught him to be comfortable with the discomfort of experiencing the imposter syndrome.

    Jan 13, 2021
    AceShowbiz – The classism “Sound of Metal” star Riz Ahmed experienced as a student at Oxford University in England prepared him for life as an actor.
    The Oscars favourite admits he has the same discomfort on movie sets as he did when he was studying among the elite at Oxford, revealing it was a culture shock when he first arrived.
    “I still sometimes find myself confronted with that discomfort,” he told the BBC’s “Grounded With Louis Theroux” podcast. “You know, that sense of imposter syndrome if you’re not to the manor born.”
    “My parents were just very focused on education. Rather than going on holidays or anything like that we (would) try and get a tutor in to get us ready for the entrance exams, try to work out how to get us into private schools which were, in many ways, like a culture shock to begin with, just like Oxford was.”
    He added, “In most rooms, where decisions are made, it’s about being able to be conversant in that upper middle class English, and I don’t just mean in terms of how you talk, but just being comfortable in those spaces, which took me a long time.”

      See also…

    “The film industry in the U.K., I think, is rife with the same kind of classism and it was a weird experience.”

    Riz is glad he didn’t quit his studies at Oxford even though he felt “very isolated and alienated from the whole vibe there.”
    “Then I thought, ‘Actually, the place where you don’t feel like you belong is maybe where you belong, is where you should be, is maybe where you can contribute something new, where you can grow’,” he added.
    “We have to learn to be comfortable with the discomfort of that. And I ended up having a great experience, where I did a lot of acting in the plays there, and I put on a club night that helped pay my way through that… It’s usually the way that the challenges are the gifts.”

    Instagram

    The filmmaker’s children Satchel and Jackson have become the first siblings of color to serve as the ambassadors of the upcoming 78th annual Golden Globe Awards.

    Jan 13, 2021
    AceShowbiz – Filmmaker Spike Lee’s kids, Satchel and Jackson, have been named as the 2021 Golden Globe Ambassadors by members of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association.
    The pick marks the first time two siblings of colour have been handed the title while Jackson is the first black male ambassador.
    Golden Globe Ambassadors, who are always the kids of Hollywood stars, assist during the awards show and raise awareness about a charity of their choice.
    Satchel has chosen Callen-Lorde, which provides health care to LGBTQ communities, while Jackson picked Big Brothers Big Sisters of America, which works to empower young people.
    The HFPA will be donating $25,000 (£18,300) to each cause.
    Congratulating their kids, Spike, a three-time Golden Globe nominee, and his producer wife, Tonya Lewis Lee, urged the pair to “have fun” as Golden Globes Ambassadors.

    The siblings succeed Pierce Brosnan’s kids Dylan and Paris, who served in the position last year (20).
    The 78th annual Golden Globe Awards are expected to take place on 28 February (21) and the nominations are expected to be announced on February 3.
    The date was originally occupied by the Oscars, but The Academy moved the event to the end of April 2021 as a result of the coronavirus pandemic, which has frozen the globe’s film industry for months.
    As a result of the changes, the eligibility requirements for movies have been extended by two months, with films released in January and February now able to compete.
    Preliminary voting will begin on February 1, 2021 and end on February 5, with nominations voting ending a month later, when the Oscar nominations will be announced.
    The 93rd Oscars will be held on April 25 at the Dolby Theatre in Hollywood.
