UPDATED with trailer and launch date. The trailer for Zero Contact, a film starring Anthony Hopkins that will premiere via a new non-fungible token platform Vuele. In addition to the trailer (watch it above), Vuele said it will premiere the film, which follows Hopkins’ Oscar win last spring for The Father, via several…

If the noirish hitman drama The Virtuoso weren’t so straight-laced serious about itself, it might make for a good parody of the genre. But despite the brief and much-needed presence of newly minted second-time Oscar winner Anthony Hopkins in a glorified near-cameo, and a game performance from too-often-underrated…

Here's the question haunting Hollywood about the Oscar show: Why expect next year to be different? Anthony Hopkins' no-show put a hole in the show last Sunday, but it was the slate of nominees that represented the biggest “hole.” Audience movies  — films that register on some scale of awareness — were on the missing…

Sunday night's Oscars were the most inclusive ever in terms of one of Hollywood's most overlooked areas of discrimination – ageism against older actors. At 83, Anthony Hopkins was the oldest ever to win for Best Actor; Frances McDormand, at 63, was the third oldest to win for Best Actress, and Youn Yuh-jung, at 73…

Anthony Hopkins paid tribute to the late Chadwick Boseman in his first reaction to his success at the Academy Awards last night, where the actor picked up his second Oscar and first since his portrayal of Hannibal Lecter in 1992 pic The Silence Of The Lambs.

Netflix has with the most wins with seven, but the…

As much as had to be tweaked to pull off the 93rd Oscars on Sunday, from taking over downtown Los Angeles’ Union Station to rethinking the entire format, it was almost business as usual for predictable winners. That is, until the final 15 minutes. For the first time in memory, Oscar producers switched up the final…

It seems odd to call Anthony Hopkins’ Best Actor victory at Sunday’s Oscars a surprise, but his triumph might have been the night's biggest upset. A Best Actor trophy for Chadwick Boseman's electric performance in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom seemed a foregone conclusion after Boseman, who died tragically last year at 43…

The 93rd Academy Awards had no host, no masks, no Zoom, and almost no audience. There's a lot of things the Oscars weren't tonight, but lackluster thankfully wasn't one of them overall. Hollywood's biggest night wasn't exactly the movie unto itself that producers Jesse Collins, Stacey Sher and Steven Soderbergh…

Christopher Hampton and Florian Zeller became the first remote winners on tonight’s Oscar show, accepting their Best Adapted Screenplay trophies from London and Paris, respectively. The pair triumphed for their screen version of Zeller’s play, The Father, which was first performed in French in 2012. Anthony Hopkins…
