In a historic change, the Oscars will no longer be broadcast on television. Starting in 2029, the ceremony will move to YouTube.

Amanda Seyfried gives the performance of a lifetime in THE TESTAMENT OF ANN LEE. She's also great in THE HOUSEMAID. She has 2 movies coming out over 2 weeks this month. She talks to me all about this -- and her love of taxidermy: www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Loved talking to Jacob Elordi about Frankenstein, Euphoria, and what he loves about cinema. He also had some frank thoughts on AI: "I have no tolerance for it—nor the ever encroaching, constant conversation that we keep having about it." www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

I spoke to Jon M. Chu and asked him how he's gonna feel when this movie comes out and his Wicked journey is over! www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Boxer Christy Martin wasn't sure at first if Sydney Sweeney could play her in a movie: “She’s shiny and she’s sexy Sydney, and beautiful and all those things,“ she told me. "How is she going to get down and dirty and be Christy Martin?” www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

Watched TASK last night? Read my interview with Tom Pelphrey: www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

In the middle of my interview with a very talented person, he stopped the interview to talk to me about Richard Lawson, one of his favorite critics. Mine too @rilaws.bsky.social

I had a candid convo with Rebecca Ferguson about A HOUSE OF DYNAMITE and the state of the world. www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

I am trying to remember the last year where one film was so openly (and almost unanimously) called BEST MOVIE OF THE YEAR so early in the year? Anyone?

NEW: An ICE officer was "relieved of his duties" after pushing an Ecuadorian woman to the floor at an immigration courthouse in New York. www.nytimes.com/2025/09/26/n...

Penn also told me he's next directing Tom Hardy!! Which is new info: www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

“He tried his best to cancel me,” said Kimmel in his first monologue since his suspension. “Instead, he forced millions of people to watch the show. That backfired bigly.”

Well, there it is. Sinclair is digging in for a fight, so please help push back -- find stations in your area, watch their local news to see what ads they run, then write those advertisers to tell them you're boycotting as long as they're on a Sinclair station. List here: sbgi.net/tv-stations/

Kimmel is back on the air! Starting Tuesday: www.vanityfair.com/hollywood/st...

I am wondering what would happen if all the artists working with Disney refused to do so until this Kimmel issue was resolved? Isn’t there an Avengers movie being made right now? Avengers actors, this is your moment to actually assemble!! A baby step here: www.hollywoodreporter.com/movies/movie...

I will take any good news we can get.

reminder: Jimmy Kimmel is enough of a mensch that he devised a segment on which actors who are just short of having enough work to qualify for union healthcare come on his show and deliver a single line of dialogue deadline.com/2024/07/jimm...

So happy for David. THR is lucky to have him. www.hollywoodreporter.com/news/general...
