The Fall Festival trifecta of Venice/Telluride/Toronto have traditionally been the venues for the serious start of Oscar season. But that kind of awards season mojo has been shifting, however slowly, with the most recent Best Picture winner, Oppenheimer released in July 2023, and 2022 winner Everything Everywhere All At Once released in March of their respective years. In fact the big Oscar opponent and BAFTA winner to the latter title, All Quiet On The Western Front also defied the odds, having first played at Berlin in late winter of 2022, around the same time Everything Everywhere debuted at SXSW. Cannes also has become a much bigger factor in recent years launching such winners and contenders as Parasite, Once Upon A Time In Hollywood, Triangle Of Sadness, Anatomy Of A Fall, Drive My Car, The Zone Of Interest and more in the past few years that all went on to Best Picture nominations, against the previous common wisdom that Cannes was a risky place to start an Oscar run as May is so far away from the prime time to campaign. So in other words everything everywhere is being turned on its head when it comes to all things Oscar.

That’s fucking hot! It takes the man out while leaving the man in!” Robinson allegedly wrote.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic At times, the three-part harmonic convergence of Brandi Carlile with longtime bandmates Phil and Tim Hanseroth has felt so much like blood harmony that you could fool yourself into thinking you’re hearing triplets. Of course, it’s been a case of identical twins +1, but now fans of their band are getting a chance to hear what the brothers sound like on their own, after 25 years of constant collaboration, via “Vera,” the official recorded debut of the Hanseroth Twins, on which Carlile served as executive producer The Hanseroths and Carlile sat down with Variety in the green room of the Grammy Museum before they made an appearance there earlier this week, to discuss the recently Elektra release and what they’ve learned about one another from working apart as well as together.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Howard Stern and Donald Trump were locked in a war of words this week after the SiriusXM radio host shared some blunt opinions about Trump supporters. Stern said that he has no respect for Americans who vote for Trump for president, which prompted Trump to claim Stern “went woke” and lost radio listeners as a result. “This whole idea of you like me, you are good, and if you don’t, you are bad… I’ve been the victim of this,” Stern said during a recent episode of “The Howard Stern Show” (via The Daily Beast).

Katcy Stephan Austin Abrams wasn’t intimidated when he found out his role in “Wolfs” would require him to wear only underwear and crew socks for the first half of the film.

George Clooney and Brad Pitt.
