With all the talk about the diversification of the “new” Hollywood Foreign Press Association, particularly in terms of recruiting Black members to make up for the sheer paucity of them as revealed originally in a now-infamous Los Angeles Times report, it might be one of this morning’s key surprises in the nominations for the 80th Golden Globe Awards, that not a single film with strong Black themes or actors or behind the camera talent was among the Best Picture nominees in either Drama or Comedy/Musical categories. Most egregiously missing in those key categories, as well as directing and writing were hotly awards-buzzed The Woman King, Black Panther: Wakanda Forever, and Till, the latter film completely shut out despite heavy Oscar attention expected for its star Danielle Deadwyler who last week was named Best Lead Performance at the Gothams as well as Best Actress at the Critics Choice Celebration of Black Cinema & Television. Will Smith’s return in Emancipation from director Antoine Fuqua also was AWOL, although considering its decidedly mixed critical reception and inherent controversy (although not with the Globes) that isn’t all that surprising to see it snubbed.

On the press tour for “Jackass Forever” earlier this year, Johnny Knoxville insisted the fourth film in the prank stunt franchise would be the last. In fact, he did so repeatedly, and it makes sense, considering Knoxville and most of the veteran “Jackass” cast are now in their fifties.

The recent Greatest Films of All Time list made by Sight and Sound was obviously controversial, naming Chantal Akerman’s “Jeanne Dielman, 23 Commerce Quay, 1080 Brussels,” the greatest film of all time (it’s great, watch it, and just let it be experiential).
