Jennifer Lopez, who first stole our hearts when she starred as the late Tejano music star Selena Quintanilla-Perez in her breakout movie Selena, is making waves again. This time as Ramona Vega, a veteran stripper in the Lorene Scafaria-helmed crime drama which J.

When first auditioning for Taika Waititi’s Jojo Rabbit, 10-year-old Roman Griffin Davis had no idea it was to play a wannabe Nazi and certainly not that the character would have the Führer himself as an imaginary friend. “I thought it was about Peter Rabbit,” said the young and very poised British actor to the Hollywood Foreign Press Association recently.

Scarlett Johansson is having the type of year that, even in an actor’s wildest dreams, seems preposterously beyond reach. In June 2019, Avengers: Endgame, a capstone in the commercial juggernaut that is the Marvel Cinematic Universe, nudged past James Cameron’s Avatar to become the highest-grossing film of all time, with a $2.

When Pope Francis was elected in 2013, the internet was rife with pictures of Welsh-born actor, Jonathan Pryce, who bears a remarkable resemblance to the sitting Pope.  So it seems it was destiny for him to play him in The Two Popes for which he has received his second Golden Globe nomination and his first in 26 years.

“I want as many men as possible to see this,” declares Margot Robbie, alluding to her new film Bombshell. In the movie, her character Kayla, an amalgamation of several real-life women, gets sexually harassed and the actress knows full well that this is not an issue solely limited to her gender.

On the surface, it seems somewhat ludicrous, the idea of Brad Pitt portraying a character who in many ways lives comfortably in the shadow of someone else. A rare movie star in the throwback sense of the description, Pitt has been a megawatt celebrity for so long, his high-profile romantic relationships unwillingly feeding the gaping maws of the tabloid industry, that the notion of him being able to convincingly blend into the background in an ensemble piece seems difficult to reconcile with his level of fame.

Ana de Armas, 31, plays the central figure in the whodunit Knives Out directed by Rian Johnson. As Marta Cabrera, the Latina nurse who last saw the family patriarch (Christopher Plummer) before he is found dead after a party for his 85th birthday, she is of great help to the detective (Daniel Craig) investigating the case.

Al Pacino snagged his 18th Golden Globe nomination -this year, for Best Supporting Actor- for his portrayal of labor leader Jimmy Hoffa in Martin Scorsese's The Irishman. It caps five decades of extraordinary accomplishments in a long-lived career (Pacino will turn 80 April 25, 2020).

He exchanged the fine threads James Bond is used to wearing for the humble tweeds of a simple country gumshoe. A change of wardrobe rewarded with his first-ever Golden Globe nomination.

Her big-screen credits include box office smash Junior, holiday perennial Love Actually, the Nanny McPhee movies (for which she also wrote the screenplays), as well as such under-appreciated curiosities as The Tall Guy and The Love Punch, but Emma Thompson’s comedic prowess is a lesson that seemingly needs to be rediscovered every several years. Perhaps it’s a function of the exquisitely crafted dramas which served as her introduction to many viewers – movies like Henry V, Dead Again, Howards End, and The Remains of the Day, the latter two resulting in the first two of her ten Golden Globe nominations.
