<p>In March earlier this year, Will Smith shocked the world when he whacked comedian and presenter Chris Rock across the face during the 94th Academy Awards ceremony. Rock had made a joke at the expense of Smith's wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. The viewership of the&nbsp;Oscars jumped by more than 50 per cent this year when compared to the previous year -- 15.36 million as opposed to 2021's 10.4 million. For this reason many thought the moment was scripted by the Academy, initially, but when Smith, after being seated, shouted at Rock for keeping his wife's name out of his mouth (or something), it became clear that it was really happening. It was real.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Amazingly, Smith went on to win his maiden Oscar later in the ceremony, for his performance as Richard Williams in 'King Richard'. It has been months since the incident, but the controversy has refused to die down. As a punitive measure for his act of violence, in April the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences barred Smith from Oscars and any other events organised by the Academy for a decade following a meeting of the board of governors. Smith's actions have led to change in the Hollywood outlook towards violence. Many have argued that Smith should not have been given his Oscar after the slap, and that he should have been charged with assault.</p>

<p>Here are other big events that will have major ramifications for Hollywood:</p>

<h2>Kanye West's multiple antisemitic rants</h2>

<p>American rapper Kanye West has been in trouble for some time now post marriage troubles with ex-wife Kim Kardashian, his antisemitic and pro-white supremacy statements (that extend to his sartorial choices) and so on. The recent antisemitism controversy began when in October this year, West was barred from Instagram for saying rapper Puff Daddy is controlled by Jews.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He then logged in to his Twitter account that had been lying for two years, sharing that he will be "going death con 3" on the jews (presumably meaning DEFCON or defense readiness condition). He was suspended from Twitter too, before being reinstated after Elon Musk took charge of the microblogging site.&nbsp;</p>

<p>He was then suspended again after he shared the image of a Star of David with a swastika etched inside of it. The Star of David is a sacred symbol in Judaism. Regarding his suspension, Musk responded in a tweet, "I tried my best. Despite that, he again violated our rule against incitement to violence. Account will be suspended."</p>

<p>Before he shared the tweet, West had expressed his admiration for none other than Adolf Hitler in an interview with far-right conspiracy theorist Alex Jones on the news website Infowars, Hitler is one of the most hated men in history. A German dictator, he who oversaw the murder of six million Jews during the World War II under his Third Reich.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Jones began by saying that he does not believe West is a Nazi and does not deserve to be demonised. To which West, his face completely covered in a black mask, countered, "Well, I see good things about Hitler also. The Jews...I love everyone, and the Jewish people are not going to tell me ‘You can love us and you can love what we are doing to you with the contracts, and you can love what we are pushing with the pornography’, but this guy that invented highways, invented the very microphone that I use as a musician, you can’t say out loud that this person ever did anything good and I am done with that."</p>

<h2>Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial</h2>

<p>The Johnny Depp-Amber Heard defamation trial gained headlines not just because of the amount of celebrity involved, but also because of the dirty details of the contentious marriage that came to light. The trial was also televised, which led to clips being lifted by respective fans of Depp and Heard (but predominantly Depp) and given funky edits on social media sites like Tiktok. The result was a lot of trivialisation of what should have been considered a serious issue.</p>

<p>Depp was the winner of the trial, held at Fairfax, Virginia. He had sued Heard for an op-ed she had penned for the Washington Post titled "I spoke up against sexual violence — and faced our culture's wrath. That has to change". While she had not named him, Depp filed for defamation anyway.</p>

<p>The trial ended with Depp being awarded $10 million in damages. Heard was awarded $2 million in damages as well for being "defamed" by Heard's lawyer who had accused her of creating a hoax. Heard has repeatedly accused Depp of physical and mental violence, which Depp has denied.</p>

<p>Before Fairfax, Depp had lost a defamation trial in London against the News Group Newspapers for libel as the tabloid The Sun owned by the company had called him a "wife-beater." The judge found Heard's claims "substantially true".</p>

2022 in pop culture: Will Smith Oscar slap, Kanye West rants, Depp-Heard trial, & other defining moments

<p>Scarlett Johansson is currently one of world's top actresses. After starring in many movies in the Marvel Cinematic Universe as a Russian spy-turned Avenger Natasha Romanoff or Black Widow, including the standalone film for more than a decade, she has branched out with more challenging and dramatic roles in movies like 'Marriage Story' and 'Jojo Rabbit'. She is a recognised and acclaimed performer, and has received a Tony Award and a British Academy Film Award. However, in the early stages of her career, life was not easy for her as she had to face being pigeonholed in bombshell-type roles.</p>

<p>'Harry &amp; Meghan', Netflix's documentary series on the relationship between Prince Harry and Meghan Markle, has proved to be a huge success for Netflix. The streaming giant claimed that the docuseries, directed by Liz Garbus, had the best opening week for any documentary title. The first three episodes of the six-parter clocked 81.55 million hours of viewing, the company said.&nbsp;</p>

<p>'Harry &amp; Meghan' explores how Harry and Meghan fell in love and the Duke and Duchess of Sussex's decision to step back from their duties as British royals. The decision created a lot of furore in British public and media. The said furore intensified when Markle said she was made aware of her skin colour after she married Harry and somebody (not named yet) in the royal family wondered what Harry and Meghan's children's skin colour would be.</p>

<p>The series has received mixed critical reception. Wion's film, TV critic Shomini Sen wrote that the series does not offer anything most of us don't already know.</p>

<p>Ryan Reynolds will return in the role of Merc With a Mouth in 'Deadpool 3', and joining him in the Shawn Levi directorial will be Hugh Jackman, reprising the role of Wolverine. There were concerns over the movie after Disney acquired 20th Century Fox, the studio that held the rights to X-Men (in addition to Fantastic Four) and it became clear that Deadpool will come under the umbrella of the Marvel Cinematic Universe. And that might mean a PG-13 rating for 'the third 'Deadpool' movie. But Kevin Feige assured that despite the rest of the MCU, 'Deadpool 3' will be R-Rated.</p>

'Deadpool 3': Director Shawn Levy teases 'in your face, hardcore' violence of Ryan Reynolds, Hugh Jackman film

<p>The first trailer for<strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-spider-man-across-the-spider-verse-director-reveals-films-deadly-main-villain-542607/amp"> 'Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse' </a></strong>is here. The film follows 2018's 'Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse', arguably one of the best superhero films of all time and thus has an unenviable job of creating an experience that is worthy of the original. The new film introduced a new cast of Spider-People, but also brings back Hailee Steinfeld as Gwen Stacy or a version of Spider-Woman from the first film. Shameik Moore again voices Miles Morales, the main Spidey of his version of New York after Peter Parker (Chris Pine) died in the original.</p>

<p>You can watch the trailer above. It prominently features Luna Lauren Vélez as Rio Morales, Miles' mother who asks him to stay safe on his next adventure. She wants the little boy inside him always alive. We also see numerous new versions of Spider-People, though likely&nbsp;not every one of them will be in the movie for more than a single scene.</p>

<p>Earlier, Powers had revealed that the Spot, voiced by Jason Schwartzman, is the main villain of the movie. A supervillain who is the enemy of both Spider-Man and Daredevil, he has the ability to open interdimensional portals and uses them to travel long distances and commit crimes. He is also practically immortal, as even after his body is destroyed, it can remade itself in what is called the Spotworld.</p>

The series has earned a lot of press in the last few weeks for having a non-linear story, and that its episodes can be watched in any order. You will not know that just by watching the trailer, though. It just watches like your usual heist drama series. Created by Eric Garcia, the series stars 'Breaking Bad' and 'The Boys' star Giancarlo Esposito as Leo Pap, a man undertaking an elaborate heist that will avail them an incredible $7 billion, give or take. But naturally, the risk is high. The heist is actually a revenge by Leo Pap on Rufus Sewell's Roger Salas, a man we are told who wronged him.&nbsp;</p>

<p>The logline of the series reads, "A master thief and his crew attempt an epic and elaborate heist worth $7 billion dollars — but betrayal, greed and other threats undermine their plans." So things do go wrong. The series, even without the non-linear gimmick, looks worth waiting for — just judging by the premise and the cast.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Paz Vega, Tati Gabrielle, Rosaline Elbay, Peter Mark Kendall, Jai Courtney, Niousha Noor, and Jordan Mendoza also star.</p>

<p>It remains to be seen how the non-linear nature of the story will affect what we get from it. It is a heist drama series and as explained above is non-linear and its episodes can be watched in any sequence — so long as, presumably, the finale is watched last. Netflix promises that "where viewers will enter the crime at different moments in time."</p>

<p>Eric Garcia does have solid credentials, lending confidence to the series. His novel 'Matchstick Men' was turned into a movie by Ridley Scott, which starred Nicolas Cage. He also scripted other adaptions of his novels, including 'Anonymous Rex' and 'Repo Men'. He also wrote the 2019 film 'Strange But True'.</p>

<p>'Kaleidoscope' will release on Netflix on Sunday, January 1, 2023.</p>

<p>Landau told Gizmodo, “Well, it’s funny. I wasn’t going to talk about it, but I’ve now subsequently heard that Jim has talked about it a little bit.

Just like you’re defined by the choices you make in life, not all humans are bad. Not all Na’vi are good. And that’s the case here on Earth. And we want to expose Neytiri to that.”</p>

<p>That does mean that Neytiri is going to last three more films to get to the fifth one. It would be sort of surreal to see Neytiri and other Na'vi come to earth, even if we do now know the reason of their visit. Will Jake Sully (Sam Worthington) be alive by then? It remains to be seen.</p>

<p>Christopher Nolan’s much-awaited upcoming film <strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-oppenheimer-teaser-christopher-nolans-next-film-reveals-cillian-murphy-as-father-of-atomic-bomb-watch-501500">‘Oppenheimer’</a></strong> is due for release next year. Based on the biography called American Prometheus: The Triumph and Tragedy of J. Robert Oppenheimer'&nbsp;written by Kai Bird and Martin J. Sherwin, the movie traces the life and times of the titular nuclear physicist who is referred to as the “father of atomic bomb” for his contribution to the Manhattan Project, which led to the development of first nuclear weapon. This is the first project by Nolan in more than two decades that does not involve Warner Bros, the studio with which he had a falling out over the release strategy of his last pic, the science-fiction action-thriller 'Tenet'.</p>

Christopher Nolan's 'Oppenheimer': Everything you need to know

<p>The nominations for the 80th Golden Globe Awards were unveiled on Monday, December 12. The Golden Globes claim to honour the best work in film and television. While the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA for short), the organisation behind the awards, tried its best to salvage its reputation and nominated a fairly diverse list of actors and actresses. But in many cases, it still glaringly the mark. The nominations, like every year, did not please or satisfy everybody. On social media sites and elsewhere, many viewers have expressed their disappointment and displeasure at some of the decisions the HFPA jury made while voting for the nominations.</p>

<p>Please allow us to add our voice too to this cacophony. Here are three of the snubs and surprises in the 2022 Golden Globes nominations:</p>

<h2><strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-how-better-call-saul-became-kim-wexlers-story-501183">Rhea Seehorn — Snub</a></strong></h2>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/qEhUSaEhFOU" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>While others in this list can be forgiven, this one can't. Bob Odenkiek deservedly received a nomination in the Best Actor category, but Rhea Seehorn was snubbed in the Best Actress category. Anybody with half a brain who has seen the entire show is in awe of Seehorn's performance across all the six seasons. She should not have just been nominated. She should have won the trophy. It is a testament to her talent that a character who was conceived as a mere love interest to Jimmy McGill, Bob Odenkirk's fast-talking lawyer who is better known as Saul Goodman of 'Breaking Bad'. But thanks to Seehorn's multi-faceted performance, Kim grew up to be so much more than just a love interest. It was as though she had a life of her own beyond the script in some other parallel world and the writers could get a glimpse into that life and were able to put that faithfully on paper.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Kim Wexler was one of TV's most incredible characters, perhaps the best non-titular character in any TV show in quite a while, powered by an astonishing Seehorn who, in an ideal world, should taken all the accolades in existence.</p>

<h2><strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/hollywood/news-top-gun-maverick-review-joe-kosinskis-film-presents-tom-cruise-in-his-full-glory-482049">Tom Cruise — Snub</a></strong></h2>

<p>It is fair to say that Tom Cruise-led 'Top Gun: Maverick' was one of the most exciting movies of 2022. A fast-paced adventure with stunningly mounted action set pieces. So it was a little disheartening for Cruise's fans to find out the film's lead actor was not nominated in the Best Actor category.</p>

<h2><strong><a href="https://www.wionews.com/entertainment/rrr-wins-a-big-award-at-boston-society-of-film-critics-542161">'RRR' — Snub</a></strong></h2>

<p>SS Rajamouli's colonial India-set Telugu epic action drama film 'RRR', starring NT Rama Rao Jr and Ram Charan, did receive two nominations in 2023 Golden Globes — Best Original Song and Best Non-English Language Film. But it was weirdly not included in the main Best Motion Picture — Musical or Comedy. This was disappointing as the film has been a worldwide phenomenon. Many Hollywood luminaries have praised the film. It has been a hit for critics as well.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>'The Banshees of Inisherin' — Surprise</h2>

<p><iframe allow="accelerometer; autoplay; clipboard-write; encrypted-media; gyroscope; picture-in-picture" allowfullscreen="" frameborder="0" height="315" src="https://www.youtube.com/embed/uRu3zLOJN2c" title="YouTube video player" width="560"></iframe></p>

<p>British-Irish playwright and&nbsp;filmmaker Martin McDonagh's latest 'The Banshees of Inisherin' has been a critical darling. Starring Colin Farrell and Brendan Gleeson as estranged friends, the film has been described as a "feel-bad treat" featuring outstanding lead performances. But despite all that laudation, the film surprised by becoming the project with most nominations — 8 &nbsp;— including in the Best Motion Picture – Musical or Comedy and Best Director categories.</p>

He then meets with alternate versions of Spider-People from other dimensions, including a talking pig, an anime girl, a noir Spidey, a female Spidey, and so on. Like the original, which was a frankly visually stunning film in a psychedelic way, the sequel will let the audience explore other universes.&nbsp;</p>

<p>Directed by Joaquim Dos Santos, Kemp Powers, and Justin K. Thompson, the film uses a script penned by Phil Lord, Christopher Miller, and David Callaham. Recently, Powers let it slip who is the main villain of the movie. It appears The Spot (voiced by Jason Schwartzman) will be the Big Bad of movie. A supervillain who is the enemy of both Spider-Man and Daredevil, he has the ability to open interdimensional portals and uses them to travel long distances and commit crimes. He is also practically immortal, as even after his body is destroyed, it can remade itself in what is called the Spotworld.</p>

<p>While the character is considered a joke by many comic-book readers, it is clear that the creative crew behind 'Into the Spider-Verse' will make a deadly and ferocious version of the Spot.</p>

<p>'Into the Spider-Verse' remains one of the best-reviewed superhero movies of all time. It scored 97 per cent on Rotten Tomatoes, a popular review aggregation site. The critical consensus reads, "Spider-Man: Into the Spider-Verse matches bold storytelling with striking animation for a purely enjoyable adventure with heart, humor, and plenty of superhero action."</p>

<p>Shameik Moore, Jake Johnson, Hailee Steinfeld, Mahershala Ali, Brian Tyree Henry, Lily Tomlin, Luna Lauren Vélez, John Mulaney, Kimiko Glenn, Nicolas Cage, and Liev Schreiber lent their voices for the film.</p>

'Spider-Man Across the Spider-Verse' director reveals film's deadly main villain

<p>Jurors at the Los Angeles rape and sexual misconduct trial of Harvey Weinstein have been deliberating for a week without reaching a verdict.</p>

<p>The jury of eight men and four women went home Friday afternoon and will return to resume deliberations on Monday morning.</p>

<p>They must decide on two counts of rape and five other sexual assault counts against the 70-year-old former movie magnate.</p>

<p>The jurors have had no questions for the court that might provide insight into the status of their work.</p>

<p>They got the case at the end of closing arguments on Dec. 2. They have been deliberating for 5 1/2 days, or about 24 hours total.</p>

<p>The only issue raised, and the only time the attorneys have returned to the courtroom in a week, came Friday morning when one of the five alternate jurors asked if he could be excused because of travel plans. Weinstein’s lawyers objected, and the judge rejected the request.</p>

<p>Weinstein still has more than 20 years left on his sentence in New York after a rape and sexual assault conviction there that is under appeal.</p>

<p>In California, he could get 60 years to life in prison if he’s convicted on all counts involving all four women he’s charged with assaulting.</p>

<p>All four testified during the trial, along with four other accusers who testified for prosecutors attempting to show a propensity for such acts by Weinstein.</p>

Jurors at the Los Angeles rape and sexual misconduct trial of Harvey Weinstein have been deliberating for a week without reaching a verdict. The jury of eight men and four women went home Friday afternoon and will return to resume deliberations on Monday morning.

Jurors at the Los Angeles rape and sexual misconduct trial of Harvey Weinstein have been deliberating for a week without reaching a verdict. The jury of eight men and four women went home Friday afternoon and will return to resume deliberations on Monday morning. They must decide on two counts of rape and five other sexual assault counts against the 70-year-old former movie magnate. The jurors have had no questions for the court that might provide insight into the status of their work. They got the case at the end of closing arguments on Dec. 2. They have been deliberating for 5 1/2 days, or about 24 hours total.

Weinstein’s lawyers objected, and the judge rejected the request. Weinstein still has more than 20 years left on his sentence in New York after a rape and sexual assault conviction there that is under appeal. In California, he could get 60 years to life in prison if he’s convicted on all counts involving all four women he’s charged with assaulting. All four testified during the trial, along with four other accusers who testified for prosecutors attempting to show a propensity for such acts by Weinstein. Prosecutors urged jurors to end the “reign of terror” of a man they called a “degenerate rapist.” Weinstein’s lawyers argued that two of the women’s accusations are entirely fabricated and two others reframed consensual sexual encounters as assault years later, after the #MeToo movement made Weinstein a target. He has pleaded not guilty and denied engaging in any non-consensual sex.

Harvey Weinstein rape trial: Jury goes a week with no verdict

<p>James Cameron's 'Avatar: The Way of Water' is almost here. The epic sequel to 2009's 'Avatar' brings moviegoers back to Pandora, the Earth-like habitable extrasolar moon from the Alpha Centauri System. The original remains the highest-grossing movie of all time in terms of worldwide returns, and Cameron had more story to tell in the franchise -- thus a sequel was inevitable. We are getting at least three more sequels. There was a significant delay between the first and the second movie. 'The Way of Water' comes out after 13 years. Here's everything we need to know about the film:</p>

<h2>Creative team</h2>

<p>Cameron returns to direct 'The Way of Water'. He has also penned the screenplay with Rick Jaffa and Amanda Silver. The original film received praise for many things, buts its script, written solely by Cameron, was criticised for simplistic elements and themes. This presumably is why Cameron got Jaffa and Silver this time. There are few directors who can even come close to Cameron when it comes to big-screen spectacle so we can be sure the film will satisfy in terms of visuals at least.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Story</h2>

<p>The story and plot details are scarce right now. But we do know the film will continue the story of the Sully family (Jake, Neytiri, and their children) as they encounter new challenges and undergo fresh adventures. Cameron has challenged the fans of the franchise to guess the plot. While speaking to IGN, he said, "I guarantee you, you won’t be able to predict it. What people hate the most is to go and see a movie and say ‘oh… predictable.’ This is not predictable, I don’t think. I defy anybody to predict where this story goes.”</p>

<p>He added, “We follow [Jake and Neytiri] forward in time, 15 years to where they have a family of pre-teens and teenagers. More of a family dynamic. It’s not a Hallmark, Disney family dynamic. It’s a very dysfunctional family dynamic, but ultimately there’s a core there that they all draw their strength from. I think that’s the thing that’s fundamentally different from the first one.”&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Cast</h2>

<p>'Avatar: The Way of Water' brings back Sam Worthington, Zoe Saldaña, Stephen Lang, Joel David Moore, CCH Pounder, Giovanni Ribisi, Dileep Rao, and Matt Gerald from the first movie. Sigourney Weaver also returns, but in a different role. Kate Winslet, Cliff Curtis, Edie Falco, Jemaine Clement, Michelle Yeoh, Brendan Cowell, Oona Chaplin, CJ Jones, and Vin Diesel join the cast.&nbsp;</p>

<h2>Runtime</h2>

<p>The runtime of ‘Avatar: The Way of Water’ has reportedly been revealed, and it is pretty daunting. Sources told The Hollywood Reporter that James Cameron's return to the big screen and the sequel to his blockbuster 2009 film 'Avatar' will run for three hours and 10 minutes -- or 190 minutes. The original was also pretty intimidating at 162 minutes of runtime. This is not exactly unusual for Cameron, as his 1997 film 'Titanic' ran for 195 minutes. Also, long runtimes do not seem to affect box office returns of his movies, and he manages to hold the attention of the audiences for those huge runtimes.</p>

<h2>Release</h2>

<p>'Avatar: The Way of Water' releases on December 16, 2022.</p>
