Timothée Chalamet and director James Mangold will be honored at the 2024 Gotham Awards for their work on the upcoming Bob Dylan movie A Complete Unknown.
The pair will be awarded Gotham’s Visionary Tribute award, which “recognizes groundbreaking collaborations that push the boundaries of storytelling in film.”
“In A Complete Unknown, Timothée Chalamet and James Mangold have beautifully captured Dylan’s emergence in 1960s New York not just as an artistic evolution, but as a meditation on the necessity of change,” Jeffrey Sharp, executive director of The Gotham Film & Media Institute, shares. “Together, they have created a work that will not only resonate with longtime Dylan admirers but also introduce his revolutionary artistry to a new generation.”
The Gotham Awards are happening Dec. 2 in New York City.
The stars were out in Hollywood Sunday night for the Golden Globe Awards, and they certainly dressed to impress.
Among the night’s best dressed actresses were Zendaya, who wowed in a burnt orange strapless satin gown; Elle Fanning, in a nude gown with leopard accents on the bodice; Demi Moore, in a structured champagne-colored strapless dress; and Ariana Grande, who looked like she’d fit in on Bridgerton in her vintage Givenchy strapless gown.
And it wasn’t just a bunch of gowns on the red carpet. Keri Russell wore a white suit/dress combo, while Kate Winslet and The Bear’sAyo Edebiri wore suits.Melissa McCarthydonned a Barbie-pink jumpsuit with a huge matching cape.
There were also a lot of sequins and sparkle at the Globes, with actresses like Zoe Saldana, Kristen Bell, Felicity Jones, Viola Davis, Mindy Kaling and more shining on the red carpet. Even Timothée Chalamet embraced the trend, wearing a black suit that sparkled, which he paired with a blue tie that he wore like a scarf.
And Emma Stone made quite a statement on the red carpet, not just for her structured red dress, but for debuting a new pixie haircut.
There were also a lot of men making fashion statements, including Jeremy Strong, who certainly stood out in a green velvet suit with matching bucket hat; Eddie Redmayne, who wore a black-and-white checkered suit; Andrew Scott in a baby blue suit; and Colman Domingo, in a black suit with a polka-dot shirt and a checkered scarf/tie.
While in conversation at Saudi Arabia’s Red Sea Film Festival on behalf of the hit film Wicked on Friday, Erivo spoke about Grande’s past complaints about being cyberbullied for her appearance.
“I think cyber bullying is quite dangerous to be honest because it’s easy to be behind the computer and type words about a person you don’t know anything about,” Erivo said. “I think that the more we can protect ourselves from that the better … the best way to support someone who is going through that is really to be a counterpoint to whatever is coming at that person – be the voice that is positive.”
Erivo also spoke about the bond she created with Grande in order for them to play Elphaba and Glinda in the musical film.
“We didn’t audition together. We met after the roles, and we spent time together before we started rehearsals,” Erivo said. “We decided that we were going to make sure we protected each other, that we were kind to one another, that we were going to work with each other and build a relationship which meant that when we were on set, we both felt really safe to play and to do the roles as we needed.”
So no one told you life was gonna be this way. Thirty years later, Friends is still there for you.
The NBC sitcom Friends celebrated the 30th anniversary of its premiere episode in 2024. In honor of the milestone, Max is releasing a four-part Friends fan trivia special hosted by Whitney Cummings.
The show, called Fast Friends, premieres Thursday, and Cummings told ABC Audio it’s special to be a part of something that is fun to watch.
“Everyone’s arguing about everything at this point. No one agrees on anything. I think the one thing we can all agree on as a species is that Friends is a great show,” Cummings said. “It is so cool to be a part of something that is, like, uniting people and not dividing people.”
Contestants compete for the title of Ultimate Fast Friends Champion on the show, which was filmed at The FRIENDS Experience: The One in New York City, the tourist attraction in New York that recreated all the iconic sets from the show.
“I thought I had a pretty encyclopedic knowledge of Friends until I met these contestants. These contestants are not messing around,” Cummings said. “In Friends lingo, I’ll just say they never took a break from watching Friends.”
A celebration of the beloved show would not be complete without a familiar face. Luckily Maggie Wheeler, who played Janice, appears in episode 2 of Fast Friends. She also happens to be Cummings’ favorite Friends character.
“I love Janice. She is who made me think I could be on television, because she’s loud and abrasive and, you know, kind of obnoxious,” Cummings said. “So, she’s kind of my north star … just like unapologetically loud and, you know, intense and has an annoying laugh. My brand as well.”
