Emma Stone expecting her first child with husband Dave McCary

This is going to be huge. If reports are to be believed, Tom Holland starrer&nbsp;'Spider-Man 3' will bring back cast members from the previous Spider-Man films including actor Tobey Maguire and Andrew Garfield who have played the web slinging superhero previously.&nbsp;Actress Emma Stone and Kirsten Dunst too are likely to reprise their roles.&nbsp; 
 
Several media reports suggest that the upcoming adventurous flick is expected to feature multiple generations of `Spider-Man` actors all in one frame. 
 
Actor Jamie Foxx who played the role of Electro, a villain opposite Garfield in `The Amazing Spider-Man 2` will reportedly be reprising the role in the upcoming version. 
 
Apart from the old cast members, 'Spider-Man 3' will also have Benedict Cumberbatch playing Doctor Strange. 
 
After picking the third version of `Spider-Man,` director Jon Watts will also be returning for the sequel with Chris McKenna and Erik Sommers as scriptwriters.&nbsp; 
 
Zendaya, Marisa Tomei, and Jacob Batalon will be seen reprising their roles from the first two Holland-led `Spider-Man` films. 
Amid the appearances in multiple movies like `Avengers`, 2019`s `Spider-Man: Far From Home`, Holland`s first solo outing as Spidey was in 2017`s `Spider-Man: Homecoming`. 
 
The actor`s stag ventures were huge financial successes, with the first generating more than $880 million globally and the second exceeding the $1 billion milestones.&nbsp; 
 
This made the `Spider-Man` franchise rank as the highest-grossing film of all time. According to Variety, Sony plans to release the film on December 17, 2021. 
 
Before Holland stepped into the red and blue suit, Maguire portrayed Spider-Man from 2001-2007 under Sam Raimi`s directorial comic book trilogy.&nbsp; 
 
Garfield then assumed the suit for a separate stint in 2012`s 'The Amazing Spider-Man' and the 2014 sequel, both directed by Marc Webb. Holland`s character is the only version to appear in the Disney-owned MCU.

Tobey Maguire, Andrew Garfield to feature in Tom Holland's 'Spider-Man 3'?

Oscar winner Emma Stone has exited filmmaker Damian Chazelle's next 'Babylon', with actor Margot Robbie being in negotiations to fill in her place. 
 
If the deal goes through, the film will reunite Robbie with Hollywood star Brad Pitt after they worked together in Quentin Tarantino's 2019 feature 'Once Upon a Time in Hollywood'. 
 
Stone, who won an Oscar for best actress for Chazelle's 2016 movie 'La La Land', left the new project over scheduling issues, according to The Hollywood Reporter. Chazelle has penned the screenplay and is attached to direct the movie, which hails from Paramount Pictures. 
 
Exact plot details are currently under wraps, but the story is said to be set during the movie industry's transition from silent films to talkies in the 1920s. Robbie is in talks to play the role of Clara Bow, the early sex symbol and box office star of the movie industry. 
 
Pitt will play a fictional silent film star who fails to make the transition to the new technology. The part is rumoured to be based on real-life figure John Gilbert. Marc Platt, who produced 'La La Land', is one of the producers on 'Babylon'&nbsp;along with Olivia Hamilton, Matthew Plouffe and Tobey Maguire.

As awards race heats up, molten metal is forged into BAFTA statues

'The Favourite'&nbsp;is celebrating 10 Oscar nominations including Best Picture, Best Actress and two for Best Supporting Actress.

Olivia Colman plays Britain's 18th-century Queen Anne as a heartbroken widow whose pet rabbits that have the run of her palatial bedchamber are surrogates for the 17 children she has lost during or soon after pregnancy.

The story is based on the real-life relationship between the queen and Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough, played by Rachel Weisz, who, as the queen's closest confidante, is able to sway national policy to suit her own ends.

When Sarah takes on an impoverished cousin, Emma Stone's Abigail, as a maid, she soon finds she has a dangerous rival for the queen's favours.

Colman has received a Best Actress Oscar nomination for her performance while Stone and Weisz face off in the Best Supporting Actress category. In an interview in August, she said, "It is happening slightly more often than it used to. I mean, this wouldn't have happened a few years ago, and playing opposite Emma Stone and Rachel Weisz. I mean only in film world could someone like Queen Anne have pulled those two hot women. So I was punching above my weight but it was very cool and they are lovely they will be friends for life."

'The Favourite'&nbsp;has already won a slew of awards including Grand Jury Prize and Best Actress awards at the Venice Film Festival last year as well as Golden Globe for Best Actress in a Musical or Comedy for Colman.

Helmed by Yorgos Lanthimos, who has received a Best Director nod, 'The Favourite'&nbsp;is a relatively conventional costume drama without the surrealism of his arthouse hits 'The Lobster'&nbsp;or 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer', but it shares those films' vicious sense of humour.&nbsp;

Meanwhile, Yorgos in an earlier interview said, "My main interest was, this time around, to create those three female characters which I thought was something that you rarely see in cinema, so that was the starting point for me and, of course, the fact that not only is it a very intimate story around three women but the fact that their story can say many things about the way people in power affect the fates and lives of many people around them and it doesn't matter if they are female or male or whatever."

The winners of the 91st Academy Awards will be announced in Los Angeles, California, on Sunday, February 24, 2019.

Hoping to inspire youngsters to stand up to bullying, the new music video has an all black and white set alongside harlequin-like figures who torment the actress before she and the singer make their escape in his car.

The veteran singer-songwriter has also joined hands with non-profit organisation Creative Visions to launch the #WhoCaresIDo campaign, inspired by a line in the song - “Who Cares About You, I do”.

Commenting on his song, Paul wrote on his website: “My hope is that if there are kids being bullied — and there are ... maybe by listening to this song and watching this video, they might just think it’s not as bad,” McCartney said on his website.

“That it’s the kind of thing you can just stand up to and laugh off and get through.”

Craig Gillespie to direct Emma Stone starrer 'Cruella'?

The London Film Festival got its one of its starriest red carpets on Thursday when actresses Emma Stone, Rachel Weisz and Olivia Colman premiered 'The Favourite,' a costume piece with a difference being billed as an Oscar contender. 
 
With plenty of laugh&nbsp;out loud moments, the movie sees Colman portray Britain`s 18th-century Queen Anne as an insecure, frail, tempestuous, childish royal who is easily influenced by her friend and confidante Sarah, Duchess of Marlborough. 
 
However Sarah, played by Weisz, soon finds herself vying for the queen`s attention as well as affection when maid Abigail, portrayed by Stone, arrives. 
 
"All three of us ... play parts that were filthy and sexy and emotional and sad ... which is normal, not just an attempt to be gorgeous all the time and a little bit sort of prettily flawed," Colman said at the BFI London Film Festival.&nbsp; 
 
The actresses, who have &nbsp;been praised by critics, share the spotlight as three central characters, which Weisz described as "very textured and layered and complicated." 
"I suppose I find it sad that we have to bring that up but I suppose we do, it`s still a little bit unusual although I don`t think it was ... back in the Hollywood golden era," she said. 
 
"There was Katharine Hepburn, Bette Davis, Barbara Stanwyck - the list goes on ... they were women that took the leading roles." 
 
While set in the 18th century, the film directed by Yorgos Lanthimos, known for 'The Lobster' and 'The Killing of a Sacred Deer', has contemporary touches such as in the language used. 
 
''This was such a specific type of period story," Stone said when asked whether she would do more costume pieces. 
 
"It was kind of filthy and funny and ridiculous and all of it. So (if) there are more like this than then sure, of course," Stone added. 
 
'The Favourite' first premiered at the Venice Film Festival, where it won the Grand Jury Prize, and Colman - soon to be seen portraying Britain`s Queen Elizabeth in Netflix series "The Crown" - was named Best Actress, garnering Oscar buzz.

 
Asked about the Oscar speculation, Lanthimos said: "It matters if you get it."

 
"But I think it`s best to not think about it too much and do the work, do the best that you can and then if people appreciate the film that`s great," he added.

Emma Watson and Andrew Garfield sparked off dating rumours after they were spotted having a cosy dinner in Manhatten recently.&nbsp; 
 
" They were&nbsp;looking very much like a couple,” a witness told a news agency. “They were talking and sitting very close. They were laughing and smiling. They both seemed happy.”

The Ámazing Spiderman' stars were in a relationship for three years before calling it off in 2015. They parted on good terms and have always maintained that they still love each other.&nbsp; 
 
According to news reports, the former couple now friends, have been visiting each other on film sets since last year which has added more fuel to the rumours of them rekindling their love. 
&nbsp; 
After separating from Garfield, Stone was last linked to SNL writer and segment director Dave McCary, but reports stated that they broke up earlier this year in February. 
 
While Garfield and Stone have never officially announced their relationship, there was enough evidence to indicate that they were indeed dating.&nbsp; 
 
While there has been no official word from either of the actors on whether their relationship status has indeed changed or not but the news is surely going to make their fans hopeful that they do rekindle their love.&nbsp;

Dwayne Johnson dropped from the top of the Forbes chart to land in second place with $65 million, after starring in &quot;Baywatch&quot; and HBO comedy &quot;Ballers.&quot;

The top-10 men continue to earn more than female stars with men earning $488.5 million compared with just $172.5 million earned by female leads.

Director Barry Jenkins&#39;s American drama &quot;Moonlight,&quot; a coming-of-age story set in the tough projects of southern Florida, won the best picture Oscar on Sunday -- but not before the prize was first erroneously given to the Hollywood musical &quot;La La Land.&quot;

The mistake was corrected only after the producers of &quot;La La Land&quot; had come on stage to accept the award -- a stunning upset to Hollywood&#39;s biggest night.&nbsp;Hollywood legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were entrusted with the task of announcing the best picture award. &nbsp;After scrutinizing the card for some time, they handed the award to &quot;La La Land&quot;. They realised their mistake soon enough and the team from &quot;Moonlight&quot; was called to accept their statuette.

Affleck took home the golden statuette for his powerful portrayal of a man marked by tragedy in the family drama &quot;Manchester by the Sea&quot;, beating Ryan Gosling of the musical &quot;La La Land&quot; as well as Andrew Garfield for &quot;Hacksaw Ridge,&quot; Viggo Mortensen for &quot;Captain Fantastic&quot; and Denzel Washington for &quot;Fences.&quot;

Emma Stone, who won the award for her role in &quot;La La Land&quot;, &nbsp;was pitted against Natalie Portman (Jackie), Ruth Nega (Loving), Isabelle Huppert (Elle) and Meryl Streep (Florence Foster Jenkins)

In &quot;Fences,&quot; Davis plays the wife of a bitter, frustrated garbage collector in Pittsburgh in the 1950s, who has to come to terms with the missed opportunities of his past.&nbsp;&nbsp;The film is a big screen adaptation of August Wilson&#39;s Pulitzer-winning play of the same name. 
 
The 51-year-old, a nominee in 2009 and 2012, beat the likes of two previous Oscar winners -- Nicole Kidman (&quot;Lion&quot;) and Octavia Spencer (&quot;Hidden Figures&quot;) -- as well as Michelle Williams (&quot;Manchester by the Sea&quot;) and Naomie Harris (&quot;Moonlight&quot;).

Ali was a frontrunner for his role of the Miami drugdealer who struggles to find a place in the world in &quot;Moonlight&quot;. The film chronicles his journey from childhood to adulthood.

A first-time nominee, the 43-year-old actor is&nbsp;the first Muslim film star to pick up a golden statuette.&nbsp;

He saw off competition from Britain&#39;s Dev Patel, veteran US actors Jeff Bridges and Michael Shannon, and newcomer Lucas Hedges.

Hollywood&#39;s who&#39;s who turned up for this year&#39;s Oscars held at the iconic Dolby Theatre.

Host Jimmy Kimmel opened the Oscars Sunday with a salvo of jokes targeting President Donald Trump.

&nbsp;&quot;This broadcast is being watched live by millions of Americans and around the world in more than 225 countries that now hate us,&quot; Kimmel said.

The late-night comedian quipped that Trump, who pulled off a political upset win with his campaign that targeted immigration, had taken the heat off Hollywood and its annual gala.

&quot;I want to say thank you to President Trump. Remember last year when it seemed like the Oscars were racist? That&#39;s gone,&quot; Kimmel said.

&quot;Some of you will get to come up here on this stage tonight and give a speech that the president of the United States will tweet about in all caps during his 5 am bowel movement tomorrow. And I think that&#39;s pretty darn excellent, if you ask me,&quot; Kimmel said.

He also viewers from a deeply divided America to talk more to one another, and gave his quirky twist to Trump&#39;s famous campaign slogan.

&quot;If we would all do that, we would make America great again,&quot; he said, adapting Trump&#39;s campaign slogan.

He later asked the crowd to stand for Meryl Streep, who memorably slammed Trump at the Golden Globes. 
&nbsp; 
He then told the crowd, &quot;Some of you get to come on this stage and make a speech that the President of the United States will tweet about in all caps during his 5 am bowel movement.&quot;

He also treated&nbsp;the audience with &quot;movie candy&quot;.

Moonlight, starring Naomi Harris and Mahershala Ali won Best Film, but not before the prize was first given in error to musical 'La La Land'

Director Barry Jenkins's American drama "Moonlight," a coming-of-age story set in the tough projects of southern Florida, won the best picture Oscar on Sunday -- but not before the prize was first erroneously given to the Hollywood musical "La La Land." The mistake was corrected only after the producers of "La La Land" had come on stage to accept the award -- a stunning upset to Hollywood's biggest night. Hollywood legends Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway were entrusted with the task of announcing the best picture award. After scrutinizing the card for some time, they handed the award to "La La Land". They realised their mistake soon enough and the team from "Moonlight" was called to accept their statuette.

Affleck took home the golden statuette for his powerful portrayal of a man marked by tragedy in the family drama "Manchester by the Sea", beating Ryan Gosling of the musical "La La Land" as well as Andrew Garfield for "Hacksaw Ridge," Viggo Mortensen for "Captain Fantastic" and Denzel Washington for "Fences." Emma Stone, who won the award for her role in "La La Land", was pitted against Natalie Portman (Jackie), Ruth Nega (Loving), Isabelle Huppert (Elle) and Meryl Streep (Florence Foster Jenkins) American director Damien Chazelle became the youngest-ever filmmaker to win a Best Director Oscar for "La La Land".

(AFP) × In "Fences," Davis plays the wife of a bitter, frustrated garbage collector in Pittsburgh in the 1950s, who has to come to terms with the missed opportunities of his past. The film is a big screen adaptation of August Wilson's Pulitzer-winning play of the same name. The 51-year-old, a nominee in 2009 and 2012, beat the likes of two previous Oscar winners -- Nicole Kidman ("Lion") and Octavia Spencer ("Hidden Figures") -- as well as Michelle Williams ("Manchester by the Sea") and Naomie Harris ("Moonlight"). Ali was a frontrunner for his role of the Miami drugdealer who struggles to find a place in the world in "Moonlight". The film chronicles his journey from childhood to adulthood. A first-time nominee, the 43-year-old actor is the first Muslim film star to pick up a golden statuette. He saw off competition from Britain's Dev Patel, veteran US actors Jeff Bridges and Michael Shannon, and newcomer Lucas Hedges. Hollywood's who's who turned up for this year's Oscars held at the iconic Dolby Theatre. Host Jimmy Kimmel opened the Oscars Sunday with a salvo of jokes targeting President Donald Trump. "This broadcast is being watched live by millions of Americans and around the world in more than 225 countries that now hate us," Kimmel said. The late-night comedian quipped that Trump, who pulled off a political upset win with his campaign that targeted immigration, had taken the heat off Hollywood and its annual gala. "I want to say thank you to President Trump. Remember last year when it seemed like the Oscars were racist? That's gone," Kimmel said. "Some of you will get to come up here on this stage tonight and give a speech that the president of the United States will tweet about in all caps during his 5 am bowel movement tomorrow. And I think that's pretty darn excellent, if you ask me," Kimmel said. He also viewers from a deeply divided America to talk more to one another, and gave his quirky twist to Trump's famous campaign slogan. "If we would all do that, we would make America great again," he said, adapting Trump's campaign slogan. He later asked the crowd to stand for Meryl Streep, who memorably slammed Trump at the Golden Globes. He then told the crowd, "Some of you get to come on this stage and make a speech that the President of the United States will tweet about in all caps during his 5 am bowel movement." He also treated the audience with "movie candy". “The #Oscars are about the movies and you can’t have movies without movie candy, it’s un-American.” - Jimmy #Kimmel #Oscars pic.twitter.com/YH5lMuyF1I — Jimmy Kimmel Live (@JimmyKimmelLive) February 27, 2017 × After the Best Film goof-up, Kimmel quipped, "I knew I would screw this show up.

Oscars special movie review: La La Land

Hollywood musical &quot;La La Land&quot; picked up five British Bafta film awards on Sunday, including best director and actress, paving the way for Oscar success later this month.

The dreamy tribute to the heyday of Hollywood musicals was named best film, while also picking up gongs for cinematography and original music, in the ceremony at London&#39;s Royal Albert Hall.

Accepting the award for best director -- beating off competition from the likes of Ken Loach and Tom Ford -- Damien Chazelle said it was an &quot;incredible honour&quot; and a pleasure to be there along with those behind the film.

Leading actress Emma Stone, who plays an aspiring actress in &quot;La La Land&quot;, took on a political tone in her acceptance speech.

&quot;In a time that is so divisive I think it&#39;s really special we were all able to come together tonight, thanks to Bafta, and to celebrate the positive,&quot; she said.

A throwback to Hollywood&#39;s Golden Age, &quot;La La Land&quot; took home seven Golden Globes in January and has been nominated for 14 Oscars.

The best actor Bafta award went to Casey Affleck, for his role in the drama &quot;Manchester By The Sea&quot;, beating Ryan Gosling who was nominated for &quot;La La Land&quot;.

Flying the flag for UK filmmaking was Ken Loach&#39;s &quot;I, Daniel Blake&quot;, which won the outstanding British film but lost out in four other categories.&nbsp;

Set in Newcastle, northeast England, the film tells of one man&#39;s battle against the bureaucracy of Britain&rsquo;s social welfare system.&nbsp;

Accepting the award for outstanding British film, 80-year-old Loach said filmmakers stand &quot;with the people&quot; and took aim at the government.

&quot;The most unvulnerable and poorest are treated by the government with a callous brutality that is disgraceful,&quot; he said.

Ahead of the awards ceremony, he urged the public to become active in politics.

&quot;You should know which side you&#39;re on and why and get in and take part in politics. There is no time now to sit on the fence,&quot; he told AFP.

Baftas 2017: 'La La Land' is best film, Emma Stone, Casey Affleck win best actors

Romantic musical &quot;La La Land&quot; led the Oscar nominations on Tuesday with 14 nominations, including the top prize of best picture.&nbsp;

Some notable absences on Tuesday&#39;s list included Annette Bening&#39;s star turn in &quot;20th Century Women&quot; and Amy Adams performance as a linguist in &quot;Arrival&quot;. Martin Scorsese&#39;s religious passion project &quot;Silence,&quot; which took 28 years to make, was missing from the main categories and earned just one nomination, for sound editing.

Jimmy Kimmel will host the Academy Awards ceremony in Hollywood on February 26.

List of nominations in key categories;

Damien Chazelle, &quot;La La Land&quot;

Kenneth Lonergan, &quot;Manchester by the Sea&quot;

Barry Jenkins, &quot;Moonlight&quot;

Nine best picture nominees&nbsp;

Industry watchers had predicted that Chazelle&#39;s &quot;La La Land&quot; -- buoyed by a record seven Golden Globe awards earlier this month -- would triumph at the nominations.

But few thought it would tie for the all-time record. &quot;Titanic&quot; went on to win 11 Oscars, while &quot;All About Eve&quot; -- starring Bette Davis -- won six.

&quot;La La Land&quot; will vie for best picture honors with eight other films (current rules allow for up to 10 nominees in this category) including &quot;Arrival,&quot; grim family drama &quot;Manchester by the Sea&quot; and &quot;Moonlight,&quot; the coming-of-age tale of a black man in Miami.

Others in the coveted top category are the film adaptation of August Wilson&#39;s play &quot;Fences,&quot; Mel Gibson&#39;s bloody WWII drama &quot;Hacksaw Ridge,&quot; the western crime drama &quot;Hell or High Water,&quot; the real-life tale of NASA&#39;s black female mathematicians &quot;Hidden Figures&quot; and Garth Davis&#39;s family drama &quot;Lion.&quot;

Streep&#39;s record 20th nod

For best actor, Gosling will battle for a golden statuette with Golden Globe winner Casey Affleck (&quot;Manchester by the Sea&quot;), Andrew Garfield (&quot;Hacksaw Ridge&quot;), Viggo Mortensen (&quot;Captain Fantastic&quot;) and Washington.

In the best actress category, France&#39;s Golden Globe winner Isabelle Huppert was nominated for her performance in the rape-revenge thriller &quot;Elle,&quot; along with Stone, Negga, Natalie Portman (&quot;Jackie&quot;) and Meryl Streep, who earned her record-breaking 20th nomination for &quot;Florence Foster Jenkins.&quot;

Streep&#39;s nod delighted social media users, who called it a fitting rebuke to President Donald Trump, who described her as &quot;overrated&quot; after she denounced him at the Golden Globes.

The 67-year-old actress -- who broke her own record as the person with the most acting nominations -- reacted with a GIF featuring her dancing for joy in footage from a past film.

Comeback for Mel Gibson

In the best supporting actress category, Davis, Spencer and Harris will compete against past&nbsp;Oscar&nbsp;winner Nicole Kidman (&quot;Lion&quot;) and Michelle Williams (&quot;Manchester by the Sea&quot;), who was nominated three times before.

In the best supporting actor category, Ali will take on Jeff Bridges (&quot;Hell or High Water&quot;), Dev Patel (&quot;Lion&quot;), Lucas Hedges (&quot;Manchester by the Sea&quot;) and Michael Shannon (&quot;Nocturnal Animals&quot;).

The foreign films nominated are &quot;Land of Mine&quot; (Denmark), &quot;A Man Called Ove&quot; (Sweden), &quot;The Salesman&quot; (Iran), &quot;Tanna&quot; (Australia) and &quot;Toni Erdmann&quot; (Germany).

In the best director category, Gibson&#39;s surprise nomination for the critically acclaimed WWII biopic &quot;Hacksaw Ridge&quot; marks his comeback a decade after being ostracized by Hollywood for an anti-Semitic tirade captured on tape.

Tuesday&#39;s nominations were also notable in that they marked the first time a streaming service -- Amazon Studios -- earned a best picture nod, for &quot;Manchester by the Sea.&quot;

The nominations were revealed in the pre-dawn hours in Los Angeles in an online broadcast, not at the traditional press conference.

Industry pundits had predicted that a number of black actors and filmmakers would be recognized this year, after calls for a boycott erupted last year when no black actors were among the 20 nominees in the main acting categories.

In a bid to address the issue, the Academy subsequently named nearly 700 new members, almost half of them women and nearly as many people of color.

The Academy&#39;s board of governors has vowed to double the number of female and ethnic minority members by 2020.

'La La Land' leads Oscar nominations

Modern-day musical &#39;La La Land&#39; swept the 74th Golden Globes Awards&nbsp;2017, winning &nbsp;prizes in seven categories including best motion picture - musical or comedy, best actor and best actress.

The film won every award it was nominated for with its stars Emma Stone and Ryan Gosling winning in the acting categories. The Golden Globe Awards are the first major Hollywood film award event of 2017.

&quot;Moonlight&quot;&nbsp;was named the&nbsp;best drama film, while &quot;Zootopia&quot;&nbsp;was named the&nbsp;best animated feature film.

Casey Affleck and Isabelle Huppert won other acting prizes for their roles in &quot;Manchester By The Sea&quot;&nbsp;and &quot;Elle.&quot;&nbsp;

Huppert came as a surprise winner by beating contenders including Natalie Portman, who had been considered the favourite for playing Jackie Kennedy in &quot;Jackie.&quot;

Viola Davis grabbed best supporting actress for &quot;Fences,&quot;&nbsp;the screen adaptation of August Wilson&#39;s play.

Accepting the award, Davis said, &quot;It&#39;s not every day that Hollywood thinks of translating a play to screen &mdash;&nbsp;it doesn&#39;t scream &#39;moneymaker&#39;. But it does scream art, and it does scream heart.&quot;

In a surprise win, British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson was named best supporting actor for his role in &quot;Nocturnal Animals&quot;&nbsp;&mdash;&nbsp;a prize that was expected to go to Mahershala Ali for &quot;Moonlight.&quot;

Jimmy Fallon hosted the ceremony and joked that the Golden Globes was &quot;one of the few places left where America still honours the popular vote&quot; &mdash; a reference to Donald Trump beating Hillary Clinton in the recent US election despite getting fewer votes overall.

He also described emotional drama &quot;Manchester By The Sea&quot;&nbsp;as &quot;the only thing more depressing than 2016.&quot;

The ceremony featured several references to US President- elect Donald Trump.

Meryl Streep launched an attack on Trump while accepting the Cecil B Demille award for outstanding contribution to entertainment.

Streep referred to Trump&#39;s mocking of a disabled reporter and said, &quot;Disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence. And when the powerful use their position to bully others we all lose.&quot;

There were several British wins in the television categories, including awards for Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman for &quot;The Night Manager.&quot;

Claire Foy also won the&nbsp;best actress in a television series for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in Netflix&#39;s &quot;The Crown.&quot;

For the first time, the arrival of Hollywood&#39;s A-listers on the red carpet was live-streamed on Twitter.

The Golden Globe Awards, which are run by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, honour the best in TV and film from the past year.

The Golden Globe Awards are the first major Hollywood film award event of 2017. "Moonlight" was named the best drama film, while "Zootopia" was named the best animated feature film. Casey Affleck and Isabelle Huppert won other acting prizes for their roles in "Manchester By The Sea" and "Elle." Huppert came as a surprise winner by beating contenders including Natalie Portman, who had been considered the favourite for playing Jackie Kennedy in "Jackie." Viola Davis grabbed best supporting actress for "Fences," the screen adaptation of August Wilson's play. Accepting the award, Davis said, "It's not every day that Hollywood thinks of translating a play to screen — it doesn't scream 'moneymaker'. But it does scream art, and it does scream heart." In a surprise win, British actor Aaron Taylor-Johnson was named best supporting actor for his role in "Nocturnal Animals" — a prize that was expected to go to Mahershala Ali for "Moonlight." Jimmy Fallon hosted the ceremony and joked that the Golden Globes was "one of the few places left where America still honours the popular vote" — a reference to Donald Trump beating Hillary Clinton in the recent US election despite getting fewer votes overall. He also described emotional drama "Manchester By The Sea" as "the only thing more depressing than 2016." The ceremony featured several references to US President- elect Donald Trump. Meryl Streep launched an attack on Trump while accepting the Cecil B Demille award for outstanding contribution to entertainment. Streep referred to Trump's mocking of a disabled reporter and said, "Disrespect invites disrespect, violence incites violence. And when the powerful use their position to bully others we all lose." There were several British wins in the television categories, including awards for Tom Hiddleston, Hugh Laurie and Olivia Colman for "The Night Manager." Claire Foy also won the best actress in a television series for her portrayal of Queen Elizabeth II in Netflix's "The Crown." For the first time, the arrival of Hollywood's A-listers on the red carpet was live-streamed on Twitter. The Golden Globe Awards, which are run by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, honour the best in TV and film from the past year.

'La La Land' sweeps Golden Globes 2017

Concrete slabs to control vehicle traffick can be seen positioned at the entrances. So do the security officials at the venue of the Venice film festival which is opening its 73rd edition under heightened security on Wednesday. 
 
It is not only the security that is geared up.&nbsp;Fans and audience too are all&nbsp;braced up to see the international movies being featured at the festival, including the much-awaited&nbsp;musical&nbsp;La La Land.&nbsp; 
 
La La Land, starring&nbsp;Ryan Gosling and Emma Stone,&nbsp;has been given the prestigious opening gala slot and is also Venice&#39;s big pitch for Oscars. Mel Gibson&#39;s war drama is also tipped as a must-see. 
 
&quot;&#39;La La Land&#39; is something that everyone is talking about,&quot; said Variety film critic Jay Weissberg. 
 
&quot;As much as maybe people don&#39;t even want to admit that they like musicals, everybody kind of likes a musical.&quot; 
 
The world&#39;s oldest film festival is going to see top Hollywood talent and directors eye the Golden Lion. The festival has premiered Academy winners &ldquo;Gravity&rdquo;, &ldquo;Birdman&rdquo; and &ldquo;Spotlight&rdquo; in its last three editions. 
 
&quot;The second element is that this year there is a lot of good stuff around,&quot; director Alberto Barbera told Reuters. 
 
Other international movies include fashion designer Tom Ford&#39;s thriller &quot;Nocturnal Animals&quot; and Denis Villeneuve&#39;s science fiction drama &quot;Arrival&quot;, both featuring Amy Adams, and Gibson&#39;s &quot;Hacksaw Ridge&quot;. 
 
Paolo Sorrentino&#39;s mini TV series &quot;The Young Pope&quot;, featuring Law as a conservative, cigarette-smoking American pontiff Pius XIII, is equally and widely anticipated. 
 
&quot;They think that he&#39;s going to be more liberal but it turns out he&#39;s much more conservative, so in a way it&#39;s the opposite of Pope Francis ... it&#39;s a brilliant concept,&quot; Weissberg said. 
 
The beachside gala dinner has, however, been cancelled in respect of the nearly 300 victims&nbsp;who died in an earthquake in central Italy last week.
