-
With strong showings for Ryan Coogler’s Sinners and target hit for 50% female directors, criticism that has dogged the prizes in recent years may have been headed off For now, the Bafta film awards appears to have headed off further criticism over its long-running diversity crisis after revealing its longlists on Friday. Despite Bafta overhauling its awards voting system in 2020 after claims of “systemic racism” , outrage re-emerged in 2023 after no people of colour won awards . The longlists, which are an intermediate stage on the way to the final nominations with each category determined by different mixes of membership voting and jury selection, suggest that some progress is being made.

Wedding to be! Britney Spears has commented on the rumors about her marriage

-
Britney announced the good news on social networks the other day: she and her fiancé Sam Asghari will soon become parents. The next day, the pop diva shocked fans with yet another confession by calling Sam "husband" in a published post. The words of the star were perceived unequivocally - the singer's fans decided that the lovers registered their marriage during the holidays in Mexico. However, a source close to the couple denied this information. An insider told HollywoodLife that the couple won't get married until after the birth of their first child together: "Britney and Sam have been calling each other 'husband' and 'wife' since they got engaged, but they're not officially married and want to wait until the baby is born. So they will have nine months to plan the celebration, but Britney is completely focused on the pregnancy." This pregnancy is the third and highly anticipated for the pop star. Under the guardianship of her father, Britney was forbidden to have children, and she was forced to take contraceptives constantly. Recall that in 2004, Britney Spears married dancer Kevin Federline, and three years later, the couple broke up. The ex-spouses have two sons: 16-year-old Sean and 15-year-old Jayden. "Britney's kids are very excited to hear that their mom is expecting a baby. She told them first, knowing that it would greatly affect their lives. The baby will have wonderful brothers, Britney believes," added a HollywoodLife source.

The Miracle Club review – Maggie Smith can’t save this rocky road trip to Lourdes

-
Laura Linney is upstaged by older co-stars Smith and Kathy Bates in this sentimental tale about a group of Dublin women who go on a spiritual journey together Who’s up for a golden-hued heartwarmer set in 60s Ireland starring Kathy Bates and Maggie Smith about women with secret fears and dreams going on a church trip to Lourdes and finally finding the real miracle is their new compassion for each other? The answer to this question could well have been … me. I have a liking for a gentle tale and there is nothing necessarily wrong with, just occasionally, showing Ireland and the church of this period with something other than outrage and horror. But The Miracle Club does not at any time, to use a discredited metaphor, throw away its crutches and walk. And it’s painful to note that this is largely because of the way film can’t convincingly use that estimable actor Laura Linney in a central role. She is upstaged by the older, fruitier performances and doesn’t hold her own with a more seri...
