Did 3 billboards win any awards

Lady Gaga is sitting in her “sanctuary” -- the sprawling, olive tree-dotted backyard of her Malibu home -- when a silent, tie-clad man arrives with cocktails on a tray. “Thank you,” she says, with the sort of silver-screen elegance that it’s surprising a “dahhhling” doesn’t follow. “I might have busted my ass on the Lower East Side, but there is something nice about a good dirty martini.”There’s a chill in the air, and while she’s wearing only a tattered Springsteen tee tucked into high-waisted denim shorts, Gaga is intent on watching the sunset. These days, the woman born Stefani Germanotta seeks out serene moments -- although her admission that she “craves normalcy” is almost a revolutionary statement from someone who proudly declares that she deals in “the theater of the absurd.” As recently as 2014, the Grammy- and Guinness Record-stacking megastar, who has sold 10.4 … [Read more...] about Billboard Cover: Woman of the Year Lady Gaga’s Raw, Revealing Interview

By & by Natalie Finn | Wed., 11 Dec. 2019 9:00 AM Share Tweet Email Michael Loccisano/Getty Images Hailee Steinfeld had as promising a film debut as a young actress could ever hope to have.She was 14 when she was nominated for an Oscar for her role as a plucky frontier girl out to avenge her father's death in the Coen brothers' remake of True Grit, the success of which provided Steinfeld with a crash course on the ins and outs of the Hollywood game between the film's December 2010 opening and the whirlwind 2011 awards season.Steinfeld, who beat out numerous other hopefuls for the role of Mattie Ross, didn't win the Oscar (that was Melissa Leo's year to collect all the major hardware), but she scooped up more than a dozen awards from critics groups, including the 2011 Critics Choice Award for Best Young Actor/Actress."Looking back on that, I really feel like I'm so much more aware of what that meant now, then I … [Read more...] about How Hailee Steinfeld Distinguished Herself From the Young-Hollywood Masses

The former Fox News host attended The Hollywood Reporter's Power 100 Women in Entertainment event and presented Ronan Farrow with the Equity in Entertainment Award. After suing Fox News chairman and CEO Roger Ailes for sexual harassment in 2016, Gretchen Carlson wants to ensure that NDAs don't continue to stand in the way of exposing workplace misconduct.  "At the time I felt all alone, but since then, many more women have found the courage to say enough is enough," said the former Fox host. Carlson, at The Hollywood Reporter's annual Power 100 Women in Entertainment event presented by Lifetime, announced the launch of the Lift Our Voices initiative, co-created with fellow Fox alumna Julie Roginsky.

Blame Kenneth Anger. Back in 1963, the underground artist and puckish provocateur debuted his movie Scorpio Rising, a 30-minute barrage of erotic imagery and American iconography, scored to unlicensed rock and R&B songs by the likes of Elvis Presley and Ray Charles. A staple of art-house cinemas and university film programs, Scorpio Rising influenced the way that aspiring directors like Martin Scorsese would come to think about the juxtaposition of moving pictures and popular music. When Scorsese’s generation took over Hollywood at the end of the 1960s, they carried Anger in their hearts and minds. Cut to 2018, and if early projections hold, one of the year’s most popular albums is going to be a soundtrack. Director/star Bradley Cooper’s A Star Is Born is the latest … [Read more...] about The 40 Greatest Movie Soundtracks of All Time
