John Oliver explored the overzealous and overused tactic of police raids on Last Week Tonight Sunday, February 28th. In the segment — which began with a very worthwhile, if unrelated, digression into the short-lived TV musical Cop Rock — Oliver traced the rise of police raids back to the War on Drugs and highlighted reports that showed how they are still predominately carried out in black and Latino neighborhoods. Oliver also tied police raids to militarization, with police taking part in over-the-top training exercises that prioritize, say, taking down a cult leader over general conflict deescalation. And even supposedly “non-lethal” tools like flash bangs can be harmful, especially when a cop manages to throw one into a crib, which happened in a 2014 incident.

UPDATED with video: Six-time Golden Globe award nominee and, now, two-time winner Diane Warren was brief in her acceptance speech for Best Original Song – Motion Picture on Sunday, when the habitually soft-spoken composer got to the point for her work on “Io Si (Seen)” from Netflix’s The Life Ahead . She thanked director Eduardo Ponti, and the film’s star – and Ponti’s famous mother — Sophia Loren.

Actress, activist and living legend Jane Fonda was the recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the 2021 Golden Globes . In a mostly remote ceremony, the 83-year-old Fonda appeared onstage at the Globes while following Covid-19 safety protocols to accept her award. Eschewing the usual script for Golden Globes honorary acceptance speeches, Fonda turned the attention away from herself and onto the nominees this year, and highlighted both the diversity of the films and television series recognized (or not recognized) that made her empathize with people of all backgrounds and experiences. “Just this year, Nomadland helped me feel love for the wanderers among us,” Fonda said, “and Minari opened my eyes to the experience of immigrants dealing with the realities of life in a new land, and Judas and the Black Messiah , Small Axe , United States vs. Billie Holiday , Ma Rainey and One Night in Miami and others have deepened my empathy for what being Black has meant.

Star Wars: The Force Awakens has finally opened, and once the unprecedented hype and opening weekend passes, we will begin to focus on the Star Wars legacy and how closely JJ Abrams came to infusing moviegoers back to the love and wonder they felt when they saw George Lucas ’s original 1977 game-changing blockbuster. How profound was that first film? I asked directors Peter Jackson , Ridley Scott , Guillermo del Toro , Ron Howard and Luc Besson to remember. I chose them because they are all great directors who’ve pushed the envelope themselves and span countries all over the world. Turns out that experience nearly 40 years ago was similar to seminal events like when Neil Armstrong walked on the moon, where everybody remembers where they were when it happened. Every director recalls exactly the moment they saw the film and cinema changed forever. Related Story 'Star Wars: The Force Awakens' Shatters Preview Night B.O.
