      Golden Globes 2021: Daniel Kaluuya and John Boyega Are Early Winners

      by

      HBO Max/Amazon Prime Video

      Kaluuya nabs his first Golden Globe Award for best supporting actor in movie, Boyega is named best supporting actor in TV series, while Catherine O’Hara wins best actress in musical or comedy series.

      Mar 1, 2021
      AceShowbiz – The red carpet is rolled out and the camera is on as the 78th annual Golden Globe Awards airs live on Sunday, February 28. After the fashion parade on the red carpet, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA) has handed out the first trophies at the show.
      Those who have received the honor included Daniel Kaluuya and John Boyega. The former won his first Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture for his role in “Judas and the Black Messiah”.
      There was a technical glitch when he delivered his acceptance speech, as he was muted. “You did me dirty!” he said once the snafu was fixed. He then proceeded to thank his “leader and general,” director Shaka King, “for your inspiration.”
      The Finn depicter in the “Star Wars” sequel trilogy was previously nominated at the 2018 Golden Globe Awards for best movie actor – musical or comedy for his performance in Jordan Peele’s critically-acclaimed directorial debut “Get Out”, but he ended up losing it to Taron Egerton (“Rocketman”).
      Boyega also nabbed his first Golden Globe at the 2021 Golden Globe Awards for Best Supporting Actor – Television, thanks to his role as Leroy Logan on British anthology film series “Small Axe”. It also marked his first nomination at the HFPA-presented awards event.

      “Do I just talk automatically?” Boyega asked as he accepted the award virtually. He rushed to deliver his speech as he was worried about his poor wifi connection.

      Up next to take home a gong was Catherine O’Hara, who was hailed for Best Performance by an Actress in a Television Series – Musical or Comedy for her role on “Schitt’s Creek”. She edged out the likes of Lily Collins, Kaley Cuoco, Elle Fanning and Jane Levy for the title.
      It appeared that there was sound interruption as she stared to talk, but it turned out to be deliberate. Her husband was on his phone the whole time trying to get audience noises before trying to pretend play her off with music, a skit he pulled for the live broadcast.
      The 2021 Golden Globe Awards is a bi-coastal ceremony, with Tina Fey co-hosting from the Rainbow Room in New York City, and Amy Poehler co-hosting from The Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California.

Here are our predictions.Sacha Baron Cohen in a scene from “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm.”Credit…Amazon StudiosFeb. 28, 2021The Hollywood Foreign Press Association, which puts on the Golden Globes, likes to bestow its trophies on films that already have plenty of Oscar momentum, but the small size of the group — around 90 eccentric journalists who vote — leaves every category open to a shock winner.Then there’s the fact that the H.F.P.A. is also under fire after a raft of recent articles exposed double-dealing practices and an insular membership. There are no Black voters, and that may explain the absence of any of the acclaimed Black-led ensembles like “Da 5 Bloods” and “One Night in Miami” from the best drama nominations.Will voters respond to the controversies by picking a diverse set of worthy winners, or will the usual Globes anarchy prevail? We asked our awards expert, Kyle Buchanan, and he said he expected a bit of both. Here’s what else he predicted:— “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” could sweep the comedy categories, with Sacha Baron Cohen and Maria Bakalova, the movie’s breakout star, getting acting trophies as well as the film itself taking home best motion picture, comedy.— The drama races are tougher to call. “The Trial of the Chicago 7” and “Nomadland” will battle it out for best motion picture, drama, with the edge going to the courtroom tale. For best actress in a drama, Carey Mulligan (“Promising Young Woman”) may pull out the victory over Frances McDormand (“Nomadland”).— But when it comes to best actor in a drama, Chadwick Boseman, nominated for his final performance, in “Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom,” is as close to a lock as there is. He’s the front-runner for the Oscars, too.AdvertisementContinue reading the main story More

      Andra Day Still Recovering From Billie Holiday Movie as She Smoked and Drank a Lot During Filming

      by

      Hulu

      The ‘Rise Up’ hitmaker talks about playing the late ‘Strange Fruit’ star in Lee Daniels’ critically-acclaimed movie ‘The United States vs. Billie Holiday’.

      Feb 28, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Andra Day is still recovering from her turn as Billie Holiday after taking a deep dive into the jazz and blues singer’s life.
      A huge fan of the “Strange Fruit” icon, Day won over director Lee Daniels at her audition with passion and landed her first acting role in the process, but she admits her film debut in “The United States vs. Billie Holiday” has taken its toll on her.
      “There’s still a lot that I am working out in me from playing Billie,” Andra explains in an interview obtained by Just Jared. “She gets in, you know what I mean? She gets ahold.”

      “It was a commitment. I think it’s one I’m recovering from still. I’d never smoked cigarettes before. Just starting out smoking, I was practising with my acting coach… I was like, ‘I want some of your American Spirits.’ That first day I was drinking vodka and smoking cigarettes, and I went home and threw up, like, five times!”
      And that smoking habit has stuck with the singer, who explains, “I finished the last pick-up shots last year, but what I expected to be a four, five, or six-month habit ended up turning into about a year and a half.”
      Day also “drank a lot of gin and bourbon” to get into the spirit of Billie, who died of complications from cirrhosis caused by alcohol abuse.
      “I hadn’t drank in so long, and it was never really a big part of my life, even when I did when I was younger,” she adds.

      by

      WENN

      The ‘Elysium’ director confirms he has started to write the script for ‘District 10’ while the ‘Power’ actress has been added to Eve’s upcoming hip-hop television series.

      Feb 28, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Writer/director Neill Blomkamp is working on a much-anticipated sequel to his cult 2009 alien invasion film “District 9”.
      The South African filmmaker has assured fans District 10 is “coming” in a post on Twitter on (26Feb21), revealing he’s working with actor Sharlto Copley and writer Terri Tatchell on the project.
      “District 10 screenplay also being written by @sharlto @terriatchell and I. Its coming…,” he wrote.
      “District 9”, starring Copley, was critically acclaimed and picked up five Oscar nominations.
      Blomkamp teased the film back in 2017, writing, “I want to go back to that world and tell the rest of the story with Wikus and Christopher. The issue right now is that I have many other projects and ideas that I also want to work on and complete… and most importantly, the exact right reason to make District 10 needs be very clear.”

      “The first film was based so explicitly on real themes and topics from South Africa that affected me greatly growing up there, that we need to make sure the next film does not forget that.”
      In another news, “Power” and “Notorious” star Naturi Naughton has joined Eve in Zahir McGhee’s new hip-hop drama series “Queens”.
      The actress and the rapper will lead the cast as the former members of all-girl group the Nasty B**tches, who try to regain their glory with a reunion.
      Naughton will portray the band’s co-founder, a devout Catholic living a quiet life in Montana with her husband.
      She isn’t new to the world of girl groups – before she became an actress, Naturi was a member of pop trio 3LW.

      Judi Dench Needs Assistance to Learn Her Lines Due to Deteriorating Eyesight

      by

      WENN

      Because of her declining eyesight, the ‘Blithe Spirit’ actress, 86, needs her friends to repeat her lines to her in order to help her memorize them before she’s filming a new project.

      Feb 27, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Dame Judi Dench is determined to keep acting despite her “intensely irritating” deteriorating eyesight.
      The 86-year-old actress suffers from age-related macular degeneration, which affects the middle part of a person’s vision, and she now has to enlist her friends to help her learn her lines for new projects by repeating them back to her, so she doesn’t have to keep reading from a script.
      “You find a way of just getting about and getting over the things that you find very difficult,” she said during an online event for London sight loss charity Vision Foundation.

      “I’ve had to find another way of learning lines and things, which is having great friends of mine repeat them to me over and over and over again. So I have to learn through repetition, and I just hope that people won’t notice too much if all the lines are completely hopeless!”
      The “Cats” actress admitted she could walk past someone she knew and not recognise them, because she has to be “very close” to a person before she can identify them.
      “Finty, my daughter, goes and has her eyes checked,” she said. “It (her sight issues) is intensely irritating. But it does enable you to do one thing and that is that you have to get very close to people before you can recognise who they are.”
      “During lockdown I made a film and I was up close addressing people wearing masks during rehearsals, nothing to do with any scene I’m in. It’s kind of exquisite if you can do that and that’s the good side of it, and you have to look at that side of it.”

      Instagram/Warner Bros. Pictures

      The ‘West Side Story’ actress has been cast to play a ‘key role’ in the upcoming ‘Shazam: Fury of the Gods’, a sequel to the Zachary Levi-fronted superhero film.

      Feb 27, 2021
      AceShowbiz – Rachel Zegler has signed up for “Shazam: Fury of the Gods”.
      The 19-year-old actress will take on a “key role” in the DC motion picture, which was recently pushed back to June 2023.
      Zegler – who stars as Maria in the upcoming “West Side Story” remake – wrote on Twitter, “I am in my key role in shazam 2 era. (sic)”
      Details of the character are being kept under wraps, but the star felt “supremely blessed” from DC fans following the casting reaction.
      “dc fans, thank you for this warm welcome. i am feeling so supremely blessed, (sic)” she tweeted.

      “Shazam: Fury of the Gods” – a follow up to 2019 superhero film “Shazam!” – was due to drop on 4 November 2022, but another DC movie, “The Flash”, has now taken its place.
      Zachary Levi is to reprise his role as the titular hero in the DC Extended Universe motion picture, which will also star Adam Brody, Jack Dylan Grazer, Marta Milans, Asher Angel, and Faithe Herman.
      Shazam – who was also known as Captain Marvel – was created by C.C. Beck and writer Bill Parker back in 1939 and first appeared in Whiz Comics #2 a year later.
      Rights to the character were obtained by DC Comics in the 1970s.
      Shazam is really a teenage boy called Billy Batson – played by Angel in the 2019 blockbuster – who can transform into an adult superhero by uttering the magic word “Shazam,” which is an acronym of the ancient world gods and historical figures: Solomon, Hercules, Atlas, Zeus, Achilles, and Mercury.
