Celebrity Jeopardy! is back with a twist. This season’s tournament, Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars, sees past celebrity contestants returning for another shot at the Jeopardy! crown. In addition, the three previous champs — Ike Barinholtz, Lisa Ann Walter and W. Kamau Bell — head right to the second round for a chance to defend their titles.

Host Ken Jennings tells ABC Audio he admires any celeb who comes to compete because “they’re really putting themselves out there.”

“Anything can happen on the Alex Trebek Stage,” he says, noting that while the celebs may be playing for charity, they still want to win and make a good impression.

“You know, they don’t wanna go viral with a wrong response,” he says. “This is not SNL Celebrity Jeopardy! where we’re just throwing them a bunch of softballs. They have to know real facts and do it fast.”

While the celebrities take the competition seriously, there’s certainly a looser feel on set, which Jennings believes is because the stars are more comfortable in front of a camera than regular Jeopardy! contestants are.

“On Celebrity, if anything they’re too comfortable,” he says. “They’re having a good time. They’re joking around.”

Jennings says one perk for the celebrity contestants is they get to prove to the public just how smart they are and that “they’re not just pretty faces.”

“It does seem unfair, by the way, that they have pretty faces,” Jennings jokes. “Like can’t Jeopardy! be our thing? Like, can’t nerds have one thing?”

He adds, “I always get a little upset when someone very talented is also good at Jeopardy! Like, come on.” 

Celebrity Jeopardy! All-Stars debuts Friday at 8 p.m. ET on ABC and will stream on Hulu the next day.

Stellan Skarsgård appeared in many iconic franchises and critically acclaimed films prior to Joachim Trier’s Sentimental Value. But it’s his performance as Gustav Borg in the 2025 movie that has earned him his first-ever Oscar nomination for best supporting actor. If he wins, he will become the first Swedish male actor to ever win an Oscar for acting, as well as the first Nordic male actor to do so.

At the time of the film’s release, the 74-year-old actor spoke to ABC Audio about what this exciting season of life has been like and whether this momentum feels particularly different.

“I haven’t played that many leading parts in America,” Skarsgård said. “I mean, I’ve played some bad guys.”

It’s true: he was the baddie Baron Vladimir Harkonnen in Dune. But he’s also the morally gray Luthen Rael in Andor and one of Sophie’s three lovable dads in Mamma Mia! He’s right, they aren’t leading parts, but they’re surely memorable, and Skarsgård says he learns from them all.

“Every year I learn, and from every project, and I develop as an actor and I find I’m more experienced. It’s a wonderful work,” Skarsgård said.

The actor said the more that he continues acting, the more he can shed “all the anxieties of youth.”

“You don’t give a f*** about it. You become more simple,” he said. “You peel off the layers of b*******.”

The actor says the older he gets, the better actor he is.

“I’m getting better,” he said. “Come back in 10 years. I’ll be really good.” 

The Oscars will take place on Sunday at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood. The show will air live on ABC and will also stream live on Hulu.

Barry Keoghan is set to play The Beatles’ Ringo Starr in Sam Mendes’ upcoming films about the legendary band, and in a new interview with Collider he opens up about what it’s been like to work on the films.

“It’s emotional. It is,” he says. “Because The Beatles, for me, I’ve met Ringo and Paul (McCartney), but you get to know the lads very much through all the research. It’s not pressure, it’s sort of like you just want to do them good.”

The film also stars Paul Mescal as McCartney, Harris Dickinson as John Lennon and Joseph Quinn as George Harrison. The cast has been filming in Liverpool, where The Beatles got their start, and it sounds like it’s been a great experience for Keoghan.

“And filming up in Liverpool, they’re such lovely people and very welcoming to it,” he says. “There’s just a nice energy around it, and a spiritual kind of circle as well with it.”

The Beatles — A Four-Film Cinematic Event will consist of four films, each told from the perspective of one of band members. Due to hit theaters in April 2028, the cast also includes Saoirse Ronan as Linda McCartney, Mia McKenna-Bruce as Maureen Starkey, Anna Sawai as Yoko Ono and Aimee Lou Wood as Pattie Boyd.

KPop Demon Hunters could be a winner at Sunday night’s Academy Awards, but if it isn’t, perhaps KPop Demon Hunters 2 can one day bring home the gold.

Netflix confirmed on Thursday that its most popular film of all time is getting a sequel, with co-directors Maggie Kang and Chris Appelhans returning to helm the project.

The sequel, produced by Sony Pictures Animation, will mark the first project under the pair’s exclusive multiyear writing and directing deal across animation, according to Netflix.

In a statement, Kang shared her excitement about continuing the story and what the response to the original animated hit means to her as a Korean filmmaker.

“I feel immense pride as a Korean filmmaker that the audience wants more from this Korean story and our Korean characters,” she said. “There’s so much more to this world we have built and I’m excited to show you. This is only the beginning.”

Appelhans added, “These characters are like family to us, their world has become our second home. We’re excited to write their next chapter, challenge them and watch them evolve — and continue pushing the boundaries of how music, animation and story can come together.”

In addition to being a hit on streaming and the Billboard charts, KPop Demon Hunters has gained major attention this awards season. It’s nominated for best animated feature at the Oscars Sunday, while its #1 soundtrack hit “Golden” is up for best original song.

The official trailer for Steven Spielberg’s film Disclosure Day has arrived.

Universal Pictures released the film’s official trailer on Thursday. It returns Spielberg to his extraterrestrial roots.

The trailer starts with Josh O’Connor’s character, Daniel Kellner, admitting he has stolen long-kept government secrets about proof of living beings not on Earth.

“Secrets. The data they paid me to protect,” he says.

We also see Emily Blunt as a TV weatherperson from Kansas City. The trailer finds her unable to hold herself together while broadcasting live on air as she is seemingly possessed by something. People from around the world watch her, transfixed and visibly scared.

While most people on Earth don’t understand the gibberish Blunt says while possessed, O’Connor’s Daniel can. He wants to make sure people are made aware of exactly what is going on. “Full disclosure to the whole world,” he says.

Colin Firth, Eve Hewson and Colman Domingo also star in the thriller, which is based on a story by Spielberg.

David Koepp, the writer of Jurassic Park, The Lost World: Jurassic Park, War of the Worlds and Indiana Jones and the Kingdom of the Crystal Skull, wrote the screenplay for this new movie.

Spielberg is the top-grossing director of all time. He previously explored stories about extraterrestrial life in the films E.T. the Extra-Terrestrial, Close Encounters of the Third Kind and War of the Worlds.

The 98th annual Academy Awards ceremony is Sunday. This year’s nominees have cemented their place in Oscars history. Here’s a look at some of the historical achievements that could be made and records that could be broken at this year’s ceremony.

Sinners has the opportunity to break the record for the most Oscars won in a single night. The film is nominated for a record-number 16 awards at the ceremony. If it wins 12 of those trophies, it will surpass Ben-Hur, Titanic and The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King, which all currently hold the record for most wins in a night with 11. If One Battle After Another wins 12 of its 13 nominations, it could also beat the same record.

If Sinners helmer Ryan Coogler wins in the best director category, he would become the first Black director to do so. He is the seventh Black director to be nominated in the category. Wunmi Mosaku is nominated for best supporting actress for her performance in Coogler’s film. She was born in Zaria, Nigeria, and is British-Nigerian. If she wins, she will become the first Nigerian to ever win an Oscar in any category.

Sentimental Value could break the record for the most Oscars won by a non-English-language film. The movie is nominated for nine trophies. If it wins five of them, it would beat Fanny and Alexander, Crouching Tiger, Hidden Dragon, Parasite and All Quiet On The Western Front, which all hold the current record with four wins. If its stars Renate Reinsve or Inga Ibsdotter Lilleaas win best actress or best supporting actress, they will become the first Norwegians to win for any acting performance. Similarly, if Stellan Skarsgård wins for his performance in the film, he will be the first Swedish male actor to ever win an Oscar for acting, as well as the first Nordic male actor to do so.

The Oscars will take place on Sunday at the Dolby Theatre at Ovation Hollywood. The show will air live on ABC and will also stream live on Hulu.
