Juliette Binoche has racked up a slew of awards for her film work, including both an Oscar and a BAFTA for her supporting turn in the historical drama “The English Patient.” Now she is in line to win an Emmy for her leading role in another historical epic — Apple TV’s “The New Look.”
In this acclaimed drama, she portrays the iconic French fashion designer Coco Chanel who is threatened by the up-and-coming Christian Dior (Ben Mendelsohn) in post-wwii Paris. Binoche delivers a complex, carefully curated performance that has been celebrated by critics as a shining light in this lush new series.
Joyce Slaton (Common Sense Media) noted: “Juliette Binoche and Ben Mendelsohn are excellent in their roles as the conflicted Chanel and Dior, both of whom, history remembers, wound up collaborating with and/or designing for Nazi forces in Nazi-occupied France… Chanel is a more complicated figure, and yet...

The second season of Wolf Hall has created headlines in the UK for its diverse casting — and the latest to speak out is an ancestor of one of the Tudor drama’s characters.
Journalist Petronella Wyatt has written a column in The Daily Telegraph questioning the “absurd” decision to cast Egyptian-born Amir El-Masry as Yorkshireman Thomas Wyatt.
The character was played by Slow Horses star Jack Lowden in Season 1 of the BBC/PBS Masterpiece drama, which premiered in 2015.
Wyatt praised The Crown star El-Masry’s acting credentials, but said color-blind casting for a story rooted in British history was tantamount to “cultural appropriation.”
She said Thomas Wyatt, a 16th-century English politician credited with inventing the sonnet, had “never been east of Calais” in his lifetime.

“The Crown” is on the cusp of history at the Emmys. Imelda Staunton is one of the top contenders for Best Drama Actress for her role as Queen Elizabeth II in the sixth and final season of the Netflix biographical drama. She would be the third Elizabeth II to win for “The Crown,” following Claire Foy and Olivia Colman. That would mean Emmys for every lead actress who played the monarch on the show. And it would make “The Crown” the first show to win Best Drama Actress for three different women.

If Staunton does win this year it would be quite fitting as it would continue the trend of Queens Elizabeth winning on their second try. Foy was first nominated in 2017, but lost to Elisabeth Moss (“The Handmaid’s Tale”). Then Foy won for season two of the series in...

The long-awaited adaptation of Hilary Mantel’s novel “The Mirror and the Light” has wrapped.
In the first images from the production, released by the BBC and Masterpiece PBS, Kate Phillips can be seen reprising her role as King Henry VIII’s third wife Jane Seymour, while Mark Rylance returns as the king’s chief advisor Thomas Cromwell and Damien Lewis as the king himself.
Based on the final novel in Mantel’s award-winning “Wolf Hall” trilogy, which follows the rise and fall of Cromwell, the new images come some 18 months after Mantel’s sudden death at the age of 70.

Having trouble predicting who will win Best Drama Actress at the 2024 Emmy Awards? Let’s consult Gold Derby’s Emmy Experts! These savvy pundits from major media outlets have chimed in with their first set of predictions, and they say the trophy will go to Jennifer Aniston (“The Morning Show”). The other potential nominees at this early stage are Emma Stone (“The Curse”), Imelda Staunton (“The Crown”), Juliette Binoche (“The New Look”), Rosario Dawson (“Ahsoka”) and Carrie Coon (“The Gilded Age”) — but that could all change in the coming months.

The BAFTA TV Awards nominations are out for 2024 and, while Netflix is winning headlines after strong showings for The Crown and Black Mirror, there were some snubs and surprises.
Black Mirror’s strong showing is perhaps among the eyebrow-raisers after Charlie Brooker’s dystopian anthology series received mixed reviews and has not exactly been generating awards buzz.
The Netflix drama, now in its sixth season, garnered seven nominations for Demon 79, five of which were in the BAFTA Television Craft Awards, including best drama writer for Brooker and Bisha K. Ali.
The episode, in which a demon instructs a mild-mannered sales assistant to go on a killing spree, is up for best limited drama, while star Anjana Vasan is a surprise runner in the leading actress race.
Born in India, Vasan’s inclusion in the category marks a departure from last year, when there was controversy over the all-white leading actress nominations,...

Exclusive: Louis McCartney describes himself as “a West End baby” because before he was cast to play boyish-looking monster Henry Creel in the Stranger Things stage show The First Shadow, he’d never performed on stage in his life.
“They were coaching me how to speak properly, how to project my voice,” McCartney says of the countless recalls he endured during the auditioning process.
The key was: Could McCartney play “the sweet little by whose mum loved him” who also happens to be “a killer” who’s “psychiatric at heart.”
McCartney nails it all with one of the most breathtaking debut performances in the West End.
The show’s director, Stephen Daldry, remembers seeing McCartney out of the corner of his eye during an open casting call. The lad from Belfast was sitting quietly in a corner when Daldry remarked to casting director Jessica Ronane and dialect coach William Conacher,...

After what has been an incredibly predictable awards season for television in the last month with all the previous ceremonies checking “Succession,” “The Bear” and “Beef” down the line, it would make sense to presume that the Screen Actors Guild Awards this weekend will just follow the herd and honor the same champs. But lest we forget, we have seen time and time again where SAG-AFTRA does their own thing and sometimes yields surprising results, stopping some actors and shows in their tracks that have been on a roll. Read below for some recent shocking TV winners at the SAG Awards and what it could mean this year.
Beginning with last year’s ceremony, the two limited series/television movie acting winners were way off course of who was expected to triumph. For best actress, Amanda Seyfried was sweeping all the televised awards for “The Dropout” and was expected to complete the run with SAG,...

The Crown‘s sixth and final season debuted last year, and we’re breaking down the ranking of each season.
The Netflix series chronicles the history of the British royal family beginning from the onset of Queen Elizabeth II‘s reign in the 1950s.
The Crown is unique among popular TV shows in that it casts new actors every two seasons to reflect the changing ages of its characters, as each season takes place a decade later than the last.
Lead actors include Claire Foy and Matt Smith, who portrayed the Queen and Prince Philip in seasons 1 and 2. The pair were succeeded by Olivia Colman and Tobias Menzies in seasons 3 and 4. Imelda Staunton and Jonathan Pryce starred in season 5.
Among other notable cast members are Emma Corrin and Elizabeth Debicki, who played Princess Diana in seasons 4 and 5 respectively, and Josh O’Connor and Dominic West, who portrayed the future King Charles...

Christopher Nolan’s Oppenheimer was the big winner at the BAFTA Film Awards last night in London. Here’s the full list of BAFTA winners!
David Tennant proved to be a delightful and efficient host at the Ee BAFTA Film Awards, the British equivalent of the Oscars. He began the night with a skit about having to look after Michael Sheen’s dog, Bark Ruffalo, eventually bursting through the doors of the Royal Festival Hall holding the poor mutt.
Oppenheimer took home a total of seven prizes at the BAFTA Film Awards which were held at London’s Royal Festival Hall last night (18th February). The three-hour epic about the creation of the atomic bomb also finally brought Nolan that Best Directing BAFTA that he’s been up for twice before. Cillian Murphy also took home Best Actor, while the film was also named Best Picture at the end of the night.

Da’Vine Joy Randolph continued her march to the Oscars podium this year with another victory for Best Supporting Actress. This time, it came on the other side of the Atlantic at BAFTA. She won for Focus Features’ “The Holdovers,” a film of which she is the very soul.
After giving one of the night’s most memorable speeches — in which she called presenter Chiwetel Ejiofor handsome and made co-star Paul Giamatti cry — Randolph made her way backstage to talk, wherein she expanded upon her connection to Britain way back before her BAFTA win. “I started on the West End in a musical but even prior to that, my education, I started at British American Drama Academy on the Oxford campus. I would come in on the weekend and see plays,” Randolph said.
“I saw — it changed my life — ‘War Horse’ at the National Theatre. And I thought it was so amazing,...

The BAFTA Awards were presented on February 18 by the British Academy of Film and Television Arts (BAFTA). So who prevailed? Scroll down for the complete 2024 BAFTA Awards winners list in all categories.
BAFTA is an independent arts charity that comprises thousands of industry insiders, much like the American motion picture academy. The BAFTAs could well give us a preview of what the Oscars might do in three weeks time on March 10.

BAFTA is an independent arts charity that comprises thousands of industry insiders, much like the American motion picture academy. The BAFTAs could well give us a preview of what the Oscars might do in three weeks time on March 10. And with voting for the Oscars kicking off on February 22, this precursor could have an outsized influence.

“Oppenheimer” swept the BAFTAs on Sunday night, winning awards for director Christopher Nolan and actor Cillian Murphy as well as taking home the prize for best film.
Overall, the movie took home seven golden BAFTA masks, with “Poor Things” coming in second place with five wins.
BAFTA chair Sarah Putt opened the ceremony at the Royal Festival Hall in London on Sunday night by welcoming the star-studded audience, which included Prince William, who arrived solo as his wife, Catherine, Princess of Wales, continues to recuperate at home following an operation. William, who is president of BAFTA, did not give a speech, no doubt in part because of renewed interest in his personal life following his father King Charles III’s cancer diagnosis last month.
In her speech, Putt said she was sending Catherine and the King “our very best wishes” before handing over to the night’s host, “Doctor Who” star David Tennant.

Claire Foy and Richard E. Grant are set to lead a new period drama directed by Peter Glanz.
Titled “Savage House,” the eighteenth century black comedy also stars Bel Powley (“A Small Light”) and Jack Farthing (“The Lost Daughter”).
Kila Lord Cassidy (“The Wonder”), Richard McCabe (“Napoleon”), Vicki Pepperdine (“Poor Things”) and Pip Torrens (“The Iron Lady”) round out the cast. The film recently wrapped in the U.K.
“Set against the backdrop of eighteenth century England, a massive pox outbreak, and Jacobite uprising – this is a timely and darkly satirical story of Sir Chauncey Savage (Grant) and Lady Savage (Foy) and their blind pursuit of a better life,” reads the logline. “It is not without a tinge of irony that their family name is the Savages, for this is a Savage House indeed. Filled with duels, decadence, and bloodshed, this is a madcap play on class and power.”

Sundance dealmaking was buoyant, the awards season is coming to a head with a number of critically acclaimed movies having done well at the box office, and apparently peak TV is over. Whisper it quietly, but after years of movies being almost a dirty word compared to the lustre of TV, is independent theatrical film staging a comeback?
If the turbocharged and upbeat European Film Market (EFM) — which officially got underway today in Berlin, but has been in swing for a while — is anything to go by, the indie sales and production sectors are in decent health, at least.
Things were looking up even before the market. A week ago we broke news of the biggest North American deal in years for an indie movie when Paramount stumped up around $25M for Michael Gracey’s Better Man with a big theatrical commitment. “That gives you hope,” one movie financier texted at the time.

“Close Your Eyes,” which picked up best picture and best director, revolves around the mysterious disappearance of a Spanish actor during the filming of a movie. Although his body is never found, the police concludes that he has suffered an accident on the edge of a cliff. Many years later, the cold case resurfaces.
Justine Triet’s “Anatomy of a Fall” won three awards, including best actress for Sandra Hüller, original screenplay for Triet and Arthur Harari, and editing for Laurent Sénéchal. The movie is nominated for five Oscars, seven BAFTA’s and 11 Cesar Awards.

Robert Downey Jr. looks like one of the biggest locks at the Oscars after winning the Golden Globe and Critics Choice Award for Best Supporting Actor for his performance in “Oppenheimer.” He’s also nominated at both the SAG and BAFTA Award. Could the latter throw up a surprise victory for someone else?
Downey Jr. is nominated alongside Robert De Niro (“Killers of the Flower Moon”), Jacob Elordi (“Saltburn”), Ryan Gosling (“Barbie”), Paul Mescal (“All of Us Strangers”) and Dominic Sessa (“The Holdovers”). Irish actor Mescal poses the biggest threat to Downey Jr’s BAFTA chances. He features in Searchlight Pictures’ “All of Us Strangers,” which stars Andrew Scott as Adam, a screenwriter who enters into a fledgling relationship with his mysterious neighbor Harry (Mescal).
Mescal won at the BAFTA TV Awards in 2021 for his starring role in the limited series “Normal People.” He reaped his first film bid last year for “Aftersun,...

“The Crown” is gearing up for its last hurrah at the SAG Awards, an organization that has bestowed a number of prizes onto the Netflix regal show over the years. It claimed the highly coveted TV drama ensemble prize twice (2019 and ’20), while individual winners through the years were Claire Foy (2016 and ’17), John Lithgow (2016) and Gillian Anderson (2020). Now the sixth and final season is hoping to prevail for a third time, which would tie it with “Downton Abbey” in this category at three total wins.
Season 6 faces off in the TV drama ensemble race against fellow nominees “The Gilded Age,” “The Last of Us,” “The Morning Show” and “Succession.” Elizabeth Debicki is “The Crown’s” only solo acting nominee this year, with her co-nominees in the TV drama actress category being Jennifer Aniston (“The Morning Show”), Bella Ramsey (“The Last of Us”), Keri Russell (“The Diplomat”) and Sarah Snook (“Succession”).

Matt Smith’s star turn as Prince Phillip in the first two seasons of The Crown attracted plaudits but didn’t exactly secure him as a long-term viewer.
The House of the Dragon star said he “keeps an eye” on the twists and turns of Peter Morgan’s now-ended royal family saga but “doesn’t really watch” The Crown.
“I have not kept up to date with it but I’m proud to be part of it,” he told the BBC’s Today program, as he labeled Morgan a “brilliant writer.”
Smith played Queen Elizabeth II’s husband in the first two seasons from 2016 opposite Claire Foy, before he was replaced by Tobias Menzies for Seasons 3 and 4 and then Jonathan Pryce for the concluding runs.
In contrast to Smith, Dominic West, who played Prince Charles in Seasons 5 and 6, recently told the same BBC program that he was relieved The Crown...

Warning: this piece contains spoilers for All Of Us Strangers.
If you're reading this through a haze of tears, you're not alone. Even mentioning All of Us Strangers is enough to make a person sob as if they’re watching Andrew Haigh's masterpiece again for the very first time. And that's rather fitting given the curious way this film plays with chronology. Whether it's the grief or queer trauma or a heady mix of the two that resonates with you most, All of Us Strangers is a story that will always be on your mind in some way, the kind that shifts how you perceive the world. But how you even perceive the film itself can also shift depending on different factors.
One thing that can be agreed on is that this loose yet touching adaptation of Strangers, a Japanese novel by Taichi Yamada, is essentially two love stories in one.

There’s something inherently a little unsettling about a tower block. And that’s particularly true of the glistening edifices of modern London, with enormous windows, uninspired furnishing, and even less personality than a geography teacher convention. In Andrew Haigh‘s new drama All of Us Strangers, one of these tower blocks becomes pure purgatory – a cavernous liminal space in which two lonely men are trapped, at least until they can find each other.
Haigh simply doesn’t make noisy films. With the likes of Weekend and 45 Years, he has proven adept at telling smart, human stories about relationships at very different stages.

Haigh simply doesn’t make noisy films. With the likes of Weekend and 45 Years, he has proven adept at telling smart, human stories about relationships at very different stages. In some ways, his work lives in those liminal, uncertain spaces. All of Us Strangers, which combines Haigh’s trademark thoughtful humanity with lashings of ghost story, is no different and is as fascinating as it is desperately painful.

Sarah Snook has said she was “too young and naive” to challenge a producer who chastised her several years ago on set for eating a piece of chocolate cake.
Speaking to BBC Radio 4’s Today program, the 36-year-old Succession star said she now takes a totally different attitude – “I eat whatever I want, it’s my own body and my own choice” – but back then she was trying to make her way in the business.
Snook told The Sunday Times 10 days ago about the producer, who berated her for eating a piece of chocolate cake in front of cast and crew, later telling her: “We don’t really want you because you’re a nobody, but the director and the writer think you’re good for the role.” She has not named the producer or project.

Last year “Women Talking” underperformed during the awards season apart from getting a Best Picture bid at the Critics Choice Awards and an ensemble cast nom from the SAG Awards. But in the end it still managed to make the Oscar lineup for Best Picture. This year something similar has been happening with “The Color Purple.” Can it also get nominated for Best Picture with only Critics Choice and SAG noms under its belt?
Before last year’s major precursors started rolling in, many thought “Women Talking” would be a strong awards contender for Best Director (Sarah Polley), Best Supporting Actress (Jessie Buckley and/or Claire Foy) and Best Score (Hildur Guðnadóttir). Yet despite scoring six Critics Choice nominations including Best Picture, the rest of its precursor run proved disappointing.
The movie only scored two Golden Globe noms for Best Film Screenplay and Best Score. It was completely ignored by BAFTA.
