Critics Choice Nominations Gets It Mostly Right But Snubs Annette Bening, Fantasia, George Clooney Boat Movie, “Wonka,” Chalamet, Ava DuVernay “Origin”

The Critic Choice nominations are out. They weren’t supposed to be out until Noon Eastern time, but People magazine misread the time zone and announced them at 9am Eastern. There will be a lot of trouble right now.

The CCA Awards air Sunday, January 14th on The CW Network. They’re far more prestigious than the Golden Globes and taken a lot more seriously. They got the noms mostly right, although they snubbed both Annette Bening and Fantasia, which I’m sorry about. They also ignored new movies by George Clooney and Ava DuVernay, but that’s because they were screened so late in the schedule. Also, there was no affection for “Wonka.” Surprise Best Picture nom went to “Saltburn,” which was otherwise shut out of the main awards.

RIP Great Actor Andre Braugher, 61, Star of “Homicide,” “Brooklyn Nine Nine,” Two Time Emmy Winner

The great actor Andre Braugher has died at age 61. The report says he had a short illness.

Braugher won 2 Emmy Awards on 11 nominations. He was an actor’s actor, the real deal, not the construct of publicity or the star making machine. He starred in “Homicide: Life on the Streets,” a drama, and then a comedy, “Brooklyn Nine Nine.” They were each hits.

Recently he played NY Times editor Dean Baquet in “She Said.”

Among his credits was the Angelina Jolie movie, “Salt,” which he was mostly cut out of. I asked him about it once and he looked at me and said, incredulously, “Was I in Salt?” and laughed.

Braugher started as a theater actor. He appeared in many productions of Shakespeare with the Public Theater in New York, and won an Obie in 1996 for “Henry V” and one for “The Whipping Man” in 2011. You know if had lived Braugher would have been a mainstay on Broadway in years to come.

What a loss!

Harry and Meghan’s Archewell Foundation Ended 2022 MINUS $675K, Down $11 Mil in Donations, UP $500K in Salaries

Prince Harry and Meghan Markle’s Archewell Foundation skidded off the tracks in 2022.

According to Archewell’s Form 990, the not for profit’s contributions fell by $11 million, from $13 mil to $2 mil.

Still, salaries went UP by $500,000.

Archewell finished the year technically in the red, MINUS $675,000 in Revenue Less Expenses.

The foundation’s grants to needy causes were cut by more than half, from $3 mil to $1.2 million.

The donations made by Archwell included $200K to Georgetown University. (What? What?) and $165,000 to Kaboom, a group that creates playspaces in communities.

I have no idea what this charity is, really. There doesn’t seem to be a clear mission other than to exist.

MSNBC Bucks Nepo Baby Criticism, Hires Luke Russert to Be Host, Creative Director of New Series

MSNBC Bucks Nepo Baby Criticism, Hires Luke Russert to Be Host, Creative Director of New Series

You have to give MSNBC’s Rashida Jones credit. The news director of the popular cable network won’t be turned off by accusations of ‘nepo baby.’

Jones has hired the late Tim Russert’s son, Luke, to oversee a new event series on the network. “MSNBC Live,” will be an event series launching in 2024, featuring high-profile interviews, expert forums and panels on a local and national scale.

Russert’s experience is being the son of Tim Russert and Vanity Fair writer Maureen Orth.

NY Magazine coined the term ‘nepo baby’ earlier this year. It references children of famous people who get breaks despite having little or no experience. Nepo Baby immediately became a catch phrase in the lexicon.

A little background: When Tim Russert, the beloved NBC journalist, died suddenly, son Luke got work on the network immediately because he was his son. Then he left, wrote a book, and went on a book tour. The book was not a complex investigation into a newsworthy subject, but a memoir about losing his dad and “finding” himself. The MSNBC press release doesn’t even say this — they don’t even supply a biography of Luke, which is really weird. They don’t need to, apparently.

So congrats to Luke Russert! He really worked his way up the ladder. And bravo to Rashida Jones for taking the brave path and not appointing someone with a long resume. It’s a daring, bold move.

Donald Trump Now Says in Social Media Rant that He Wanted to Testify in NY Trial, Can’t Explain Why He Didn’t

Just so you know, Donald Trump really wanted to testify this week in his NY fraud trial. He says so on social media this morning. He doesn’t say exactly why he didn’t, but still calls the judge and attorney general of New York names.

This is a very lame Trump post at best. I guess he figures his followers will just read the top line (aloud) and go back to the funnies. But Trump didn’t testify because one more word out of him under oath would make things worse than they already are.

CBS Can’t Find a Host for Golden Globes: Will Cedric Be Entertaining on Show Night? Drew Barrymore? LL Cool J?

CBS Can’t Find a Host for Golden Globes: Will Cedric Be Entertaining on Show Night? Drew Barrymore? LL Cool J?

Cedric the Entertainer just announced the Golden Globe nominees on CBS. Will he wind up being the host of the show on January 7th?

There’s a good chance because reportedly no one else wants to do it. Not Chris Rock. Certainly not Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, who are long gone. Ricky Gervais? Nope.

CNN reports that the show hasn’t secured a host with less than a month to go.

That’s because the Globes are riddled with scandal. Past hosts have had a ball ridiculing the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. The HFPA is gone in name now, but around 60 members continue in the newly configured Globes. They are mostly the same people. Would the host still make fun of them?

Cedric seems an obvious choice. CBS’s Jack Sussman loves to have network stars host shows, which is why LL Cool J and James Corden did the heavy lifting for years on the Grammys and Tonys. Corden is gone. LL Cool J — now that would be funny and so right.

Maybe CBS could have pressured Stephen Colbert to do the duties. But he’s been sick, and is looking forward no doubt to the Christmas break. One outside shot– Drew Barrymore, also contracted to CBS for her talk show.

Stay tuned..

Golden Globes 2024: Huge Snubs for “The Color Purple,” “Ferrari,” George Clooney Film, Ava DuVernay “Origins,” Plus “May December” is a Comedy?

Golden Globes 2024: Huge Snubs for “The Color Purple,” “Ferrari,” George Clooney Film, Ava DuVernay “Origins,” Plus “May December” is a Comedy?

Even though the Golden Globes increased its membership for diversity, they still managed to exclude one of the most vibrant and powerful films of 2023.

Not included in Best Comedy or Musical was “The Color Purple,” the gorgeous musical version of the 1985 movie. It’s not in that category or Best Director or Best Song or Musical Score. The movie did get a Best Actress nomination for Fantasia and Supporting Actress for Danielle Brooks, however.

The Globes made “May December” a comedy– a serious drama — is laughable.

George Clooney’s “The Boys in the Boat” was completely omitted. So was Ava DuVernary’s “Origin.” Michael Mann’s “Ferrari” was ignored as well.

In TV, neither Jennifer Aniston nor Reese Witherspoon was nominated for “The Morning Show.”

Ariana Grande Joins Demi Lovato Post Scooter Braun with Manager Brandon Creed While She and Max Martin Work on New Album

Remember– I told you when I went to see “Spamalot” a few weeks ago, famed songwriter Max Martin was there with Ariana Grande. Martin told me he and his team were working on songs for a new Grande album.

Now comes word that Ariana has taken a forward step and signed with manager Brandon Creed. That’s the same guy Demi Lovato signed with this summer.

Creed, a graduate of Irving and Jeffrey Azoff’s Full Stop Management, is the man of the moment, Both Lovato and Grande come to him after escaping Scooter Braun. Could Justin Bieber be the next Braun album to join his Good World Management?

Creed’s list also includes Charli XCX, Orville Peck, Troye Sivan, and producer Mark Ronson, among others. Ronson told me recently he’s still coming down from guiding the “Barbie” soundtrack to start a new project. But you could see him working with Ariana in a second. Next year will be a big one for Ariana, with two “Wicked” movies and a soundtrack looming.

Trump Blinks, Won’t Be Testifying Monday in NY Trial, Posts Rambling ALL CAPS Tirade Defending Himself

After bragging for weeks that he would testify in the NY Attorney General’s trial in front of Judge Engoron, Donald Trump is out.

In a rambling ALL CAPS post on TruthSocial, Trump rants about why he’s innocent and says he’s out.

Trump blinks. He would never get on that stand and answer questions about his business practices. He’s completely guilty of lying and over valuing his assets. He’s going to lose the Trump Organization now.

I do really hope Michael Cohen has personal security. Trump seethes with hate for his former employee and whistleblower. In that final section below you can see it pretty clearly.

The reality of the trial may have finally hit home. Back in September, Trump told a conservative radio show when asked about testifying: “That I would. That I look forward to.”

But Trump is a bully and a liar. He’s a blowhard who gins up his audience and base, then reverses course, and makes them believe somehow he was a victim. When Judge Engoron finally reads his decision, it’s going to be some scene.

 

Here’s the whole thing, to bottom:

Page 1: STATEMENT OF 45th PRESIDENT DONALD J. TRUMP! AS EVERYONE KNOWS, I HAVE VERY SUCCESSFULLY & CONCLUSIVELY TESTIFIED IN THE CORRUPT, BIDEN DIRECTED, NEW YORK STATE ATTORNEY GENERAL’S RIGGED TRIAL AGAINST ME. WORLD RENOWNED EXPERTS, HIGHLY RESPECTED BANK & INSURANCE EXECUTIVES, REAL ESTATE PROFESSIONALS, AS WELL AS OTHERS, BOTH HONEST & CREDIBLE, HAVE STATED, CLEARLY & UNEQUIVOCALLY, THAT I, & MY VERY SUCCESSFUL COMPANY, DID NOTHING WRONG! MY FINANCIAL STATEMENTS WERE CONSERVATIVE, LIQUID, & “EXTRAORDINARY.” A TOP PROFESSOR FROM NYU STERN SAID, “IF MR. TRUMP WERE MY STUDENT, HE WOULD GET AN ‘A’ ON HIS FINANCIAL STATEMENTS. IV’E NEVER SEEN A STATEMENT THAT PROVIDED SO MUCH DETAIL, & IS SO TRANSPARENT, AS THESE STATEMENTS.” PLUS, THEY ALL HAVE AN IRONCLAD DISCLAIMER CLAUSE STATING THAT THE USERS MUST DO THEIR OWN DUE DILIGENCE & ANALYSIS – NO RELIANCE! THE ONLY FRAUD COMMITTED WAS BY THE HIGHLY PARTISAN & OUT OF CONTROL JUDGE, & RACIST A.G. (WHO PROMISED THAT, “I WILL GET TRUMP”)….

Page 2: THEY CLAIMED THAT MAR-A-LAGO WAS WORTH ONLY $18,000,000, WHEN IT IS WORTH 50 TO 100 TIMES THAT AMOUNT, IN ORDER TO ILLEGALLY REDUCE MY VALUES & MAKE A FAKE CASE AGAINST ME. THEY DID THIS ON OTHER PROPERTIES, AS WELL, & WOULDN’T GIVE ME A JURY. LIKEWISE, THE A.G. THUGS DO NOT WANT TO ACKNOWLEDGE THAT I HAVE PAID ALMOST 300 MILLION DOLLARS IN NEW YORK CITY & STATE TAXES DURING THE YEARS IN QUESTION. IMPORTANTLY, I WON AT THE APPELLATE DIVISION, WHICH EFFECTIVELY ENDED MOST OF THE CASE, BUT THE BIASED JUDGE REFUSED TO ACCEPT THEIR ORDER, AN UNHEARD OF FIRST! BASED ON THE ABOVE, AND THE FACT THAT OUR UNASSAILABLE FINAL EXPERT WITNESS HAS BEEN SO STRONG AND IRREFUTABLE IN HIS TESTIMONY, WHICH WILL CONCLUDE ON TUESDAY, & THAT I HAVE ALREADY TESTIFIED TO EVERYTHING & HAVE NOTHING MORE TO SAY OTHER THAN THAT THIS IS A COMPLETE & TOTAL ELECTION INTERFERENCE (BIDEN CAMPAIGN!) WITCH HUNT, THAT WILL DO NOTHING BUT KEEP BUSINESSES OUT OF NEW YORK, I WILL NOT BE TESTIFYING ON MONDAY. MAGA!

DON’T FORGET, IN ADDITION TO EVERYTHING ELSE IN THE FAKE & FRAUDULENT “CASE” THAT PEEKABOO HAS BROUGHT AGAINST ME, THEIR SO-CALLED “STAR,” & ONLY, WITNESS, SLEAZEBAG & DISBARRED FORMER LAWYER, MICHAEL COHEN, ADMITTED IN COURT TO REPEATEDLY LYING UNDER OATH. IT WAS A TOTAL BREAKDOWN, A NON-RECOVERABLE PERRY MASON MOMENT. THAT ALONE ENDS THIS BIDEN DRIVEN WITCH HUNT. ELECTION INTERFERENCE!
