The Week Before Oscar Nominations: "The Wrap-Up"
We’re just one week away from the Oscar nominations, and we’re getting a clear idea of who could sweep award season. The 2025 nominees were revealed, and we have Darren Carp here to break it all down.
"Saturday Night Live" Celebrates 50th Anniversary
NBC is kicking off celebrations for the 50th anniversary of "Saturday Night Live." Expect fireworks, performances, and nostalgic moments from the show’s history. The four-part documentary, "The Art of Comedy," is available on Peacock, giving us a behind-the-scenes look at the grueling process of creating the show, from Monday night auditions to live broadcasts on Saturday.
Film Nominees Cause Controversy
The Writers Guild of America (WGA) has announced its nominees, but there are some surprises in store. "Anora" and "A Real Pain" are both receiving recognition, while "Conclave," which follows the election of the Pope, swept the BAFTA nominations. "The Substance" is my personal favorite, and I’m hoping it will win Best Picture. Demi Moore deserves an Oscar for her role in this film, in my opinion.
The Oscars: A More Diverse Pool of Nominees
One thing is clear: this year’s Oscar nominees will be more spread out, with fewer clear frontrunners. "Challengers" was an unexpected pick, and we’ll have to wait and see if this film will be in the running for top awards.
Glory for "Saturday Night Live"
Darren Carp’s enthusiasm for the 50th anniversary of "Saturday Night Live" is palpable. The documentary is a must-watch for fans of the show, which has survived and thrived over the years.
Justin Bilkowski and Blake Lively’s Lawsuit
Social media is abuzz with the news of Anita Baker’s $400 million lawsuit against Justin Bilkowski. This contentious lawsuit stems from alleged sexual misconduct on the set of "It Ends with Us," which tackles domestic violence. Bilkowski is suing Blake Lively and her husband, claiming the film’s alter ego, "Nice Pool," is based on him and mocks him. It’s a tangled web of accusations, and we can only hope for the truth to emerge during the trial.
What’s Next?
As we count down to the Oscar nominations, we can’t help but wonder what’s next for the entertainment industry. Will Congress investigate the lawsuit between Drake and Universal Music Group, which represents both artists? Only time will tell. For now, we’re keeping our eyes and ears open for the latest developments. The streets are indeed hot, and we’re heating up!
