The last time fans saw Malcolm Winters (Shemar Moore) in the Young and the Restless (Y&r) was in May 2023 during the show’s 50th anniversary celebrations. He surprised friends and family when he arrived at the Jazz Club to honor Neil Winters (Kristoff St. John).
Both Malcolm and Shemar are fan favorites on the show, so what would the actor do if the soap came calling, once more?
Shemar Moore – “I Would Go …”
During an interview with First For Women, actor Shemar Moore revealed that if the Y&r called “today”, he would go. He also added that if Criminal Minds asked him to return, he’d go.
He adds that one should never forget where they came from and goes on to say that it may sound “cheesy” and “cliched”, but it’s true.
With the announcement recently that his show S.W.A.T. has been canceled from CBS’s primetime line-up,...

The host of the 2023 Spirit Awards, Hasan Minhaj, suggested in his monologue that Cate Blanchett was the one to beat at this year’s awards.
But instead, Blanchett and her film Tár nearly went home empty-handed, only winning one of the seven awards for which it was nominated. The Focus film won in the best cinematography category but lost in the other categories in which it was nominated.
Tár wasn’t the only movie with multiple Spirit Awards nominations to fail to win, as Everything Everywhere All at Once’s dominance meant that the following films, all of which were up for several awards, were also shut out: Four-time nominee Palm Trees and Power Lines and three-time nominees Bones and All, starring Timothée Chalamet; The Inspection; and Murina.
Women Talking also lost all of the competitive awards for which it was nominated, three, only accepting the previously-announced prize of the Robert Altman Award,...

2022 has been an interesting year for movies, with some of the big blockbuster spectacles getting a lot of attention, smaller ones desperately looking for audiences, and lingering questions about the future of the theater experience past the event films. First time directors and musical delights painted the cinema canvas with mesmerizing swaths of biographical and semi-autobiographical themes, adult dramas, independent and international films, and the crowd pleaser, Rrr.
The sequels, and there were many, returned audiences to the worlds of Pandora and Wakanda, the Multiverse of Marvel, the mysterious layers of the Glass Onion, the dominion of dinosaurs and the soaring skies with Captain Maverick Pete Mitchell for one last mission.
