Director Panos Cosmatos and his co-writer Aaron Stewart-Ahn absolutely know what movie they’re making, and they are after something that draws together all of the various things that have influenced them in a way that is personal and authentic, and not just about what looks cool,” writes Drew McWeeny.

“Mr. Rogers’ Neighborhood remains one of the definitive works of art in any medium about the way childhood imagination works,” writes Drew McWeeny, who said the emotional film “broke” him.

Newcomer Thomasin Harcourt McKenziefollows plays a teenage girl who lives in the woods outside of Portland, Oregon with her father (Foster). A chance encounter leads to their discovery and removal from Forest Park, and into the charge of a social service agency.

The film follows a litter of puppies from the moment they’re born as they begin their two-year quest to become guide dogs for the blind. The stakes are high and not every dog can make the cut. Only the best of the best. The pick of the litter.

Set in turn-of-the-century Paris, the film stars Knightley as a young woman who writes a series of bestselling romance novels, but is forced to publish them under her husband’s name. He takes all the credit, while she struggles to be recognized for her work.

The annual awards from the Producers Guild of America (PGA) help to define the upcoming Oscars with Disney-Pixar’s Coco and Brett Morgen’s Jane continuing to win in the animated and documentary categories.

Editor in Chief Jeff Sneider writes about Reinaldo Marcus Green’s directorial debut Monsters and Men, while Drew McWeeny and Ed Douglas trade tweets praising Jason Mantzoukas in Hannah Fidell’s comedy The Long Dumb Road.

Aml Ameen, Anthony Ramos, Vivian Bang, Dominique Fishback, Dede Lovelace, Helena Howard, Forrest Goodluck and Kelvin Harrison Jr. are just some of the young performers of color who will be trying to make a name for themselves in Park City this week.

If I’m being honest, the Park City Midnight section has lost a bit of its luster as Toronto’s Midnight Madness has gained momentum with the genre filmmaking crowd, but I have faith that Revenge, Arizona, Piercing and Lords of Chaos will deliver the genre goods this year.

Amazon Studios’ Sundance pick-up The Big Sick was one of the biggest deals from last year’s festival, and it paid off big time as the most successful film out of last year’s fest. Others didn’t fare nearly as well.

Guillermo del Toro won Best Director as his fantasy-drama won Best Picture, McDonagh’s film won three acting awards while the HBO drama won best TV Limited Series

Guillermo del Toro, Martin McDonagh, Christopher Nolan, Jordan Peele and Greta Gerwig each received nominations for their acclaimed 2017 films.

The documentary nominees include veteran filmmakers such as Errol Morris, Steve James and Ken Burns, as well as newcomer Bryan Fogel (Icarus).

The full list of nominations for the American Society of Cinematographers includes a 15th nomination for Roger Deakins, and multiple nominations for HBO’s Game of Thrones and 12 Monkeys.

The complete list of nominations for the British Academy of Film and Television Arts’ annual awards which will be presented on Feb. 18 from the Royal Albert Hall in London.

Mindhunter star Cameron Britton owned the dance floor, which was stocked with Netflix talent such as Millie Bobby Brown, Joel Kinnaman, Candace Cameron, Lori Loughlin, Jimmy Tatro and Rob Morgan.

“A special hello to hosts of other upcoming awards shows who are watching me tonight like the first dog they shot into outer space,” said Golden Globes host Seth Meyers as he delivered one of the strongest and well-received monologues in recent memory.

The 75th Annual Golden Globes are being announced live on NBC with host Seth Meyers. Winners will be updated as they’re announced.

Not to be outdone, indie studio A24 took home two trophies for Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird, which lost two awards early on, but rallied when it mattered to win Best Picture – Comedy/Musical and Best Actress (Saoirse Ronan). Hulu and Amazon were the big winners on the TV side.

Jordan Peele’s Get Out, Steven Spielberg’s The Post, Call Me By Your Name and Christopher Nolan’s Dunkirk were noticeably absent from winning a single category.

From Sterling K. Brown making history to Oprah’s epic monologue, watch every single winner from tonight’s stage.

No subject was “too soon” for the Late Night with Seth Meyers host who introed the 75th annual Golden Globes with jabs at President Trump, Kevin Spacey and Harvey Weinstein.

Gerwig also received recognition for her direction of Lady Bird and its screenplay, while Laurie Metcalf received more acclaim for her supporting role in the film.

Michael Showalter’s The Big Sick, produced by Judd Apatow, and Patty Jenkins’ Wonder Woman are two notable inclusions among the film nominees.

Don’t go betting the farm on our crystal ball, for the Hollywood Foreign Press Association can be an unpredictable bunch, as that hilarious comedy The Martian can attest.

As expected, Jordan Peele’s screenplay for Get Out and Greta Gerwig’s Lady Bird screenplay received nominations, but so did the adapted screenplay for Logan.
