The Golden Globes ritual this Sunday may prompt the usual groans in some circles, but it will also trigger some elegant paydays. Hollywood always seems at once apologetic and celebratory about the Globes, but the 87 journalists who annually cast their votes are smiling, not apologizing. That’s because they’re allegedly divvying up millions of dollars to reward their participation in one of the industry’s most enduring business schemes. A sprawling exposé in the Los Angeles Times greets this weekend’s Globes – a probe that details the paydays scored by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association fraternity in its annual upstaging of the Oscars. Globes voters, we are told, are paid an additional $2.15 million above and beyond their journalistic salaries (if any) to serve on various association “committees.” Related Story Seth Meyers Renews 'Late Night' Deal With NBC Through 2025 & Strikes Overall Deal With Universal Studio Group Other perks come their way … [Read more...] about Peter Bart: Golden Globes Voters Get Their Perks And Paydays, But Also Clout

It’s time to start packing, to call around to find out what might be playing, to pull out the sweaters and a warm jacket for the first time in months and, above all, to look forward to a guaranteed long weekend of films that will all be worth seeing and that will provide a strong indication of what kind of serious movie year this will be. Unfortunately, everyone knows the depressing answer to that question. And now, for some of us, is when the miserable truth of the matter is staring us straight in the face: the movie screens in Telluride will be empty over this Labor Day weekend for the first time in 46 years. There will be no hour-plus ride from the Montrose Airport to the host town of just 2,325 year-round residents, no dash to grab the schedule where the titles to be shown will be revealed for the first time, no agonizing scrutiny of the schedule that reminds you, once again, that there’s no way you’re going to be able to see everything you want to see, even if you luck out … [Read more...] about Todd McCarthy: The Screens Are Empty In Telluride

Netflix ’s two top film and TV executives said the streaming service still has plenty of room for progress with diversity , but predicted results in 2020 will likely show improvement over 2019 when all of the numbers are tallied. “I think we are definitely going to improve,” TV chief Bela Bajaria said. “If you think about last year, with Bridgerton and Gentefied and Never Have I Ever — and this is scripted, it’s not including non-fiction — I think we have a lot of titles and we have a commitment to improve every year.” Film boss Scott Stuber said staffers in his group “definitely feel like we’re improving,” citing releases like Jingle Jangle: A Christmas Journey , Da Five Bloods , The Old Guard and Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom . “But the point of this benchmark is to constantly be held accountable. … The whole auspice here is not to pat ourselves on the back. It’s to say publicly, ‘Here’s what we’re trying to accomplish.'” Related Story USC … [Read more...] about Netflix Film And TV Chiefs Talk Diversity Strides And Goals, ‘Bridgerton’, ‘Jingle Jangle’ Breakthroughs

Sony Pictures Classics is set to release awards contender The Father in select New York and Los Angeles theaters today before expanding nationwide March 12 before landing on PVOD on March 26. That’s quite a theater-to-digital journey for the Florian Zeller-directed drama starring Anthony Hopkins and Olivia Colman. The film, which premiered at Sundance in 2020, is adapted from Zeller’s 2014 play which starred Frank Langella, who won a Tony Award his performance. Zeller and Christopher Hampton adapted the play which follows Anthony (Hopkins), a defiant 80-year-old man who lives alone and refuses the carers that his daughter, Anne (Colman), encouragingly introduces — and she needs the help. She can’t make daily visits to her father and his grip on reality is unraveling.
