Compared to other film festivals, Cannes is particularly resistant to programming debuts, especially in competition. Most Cannes alumni got their start elsewhere and had to “work their way up…

Awards Daily talks to Abigail Spencer about her eclectic resume and how NBC’s Extended Family finds its groove in Season 1’s “The Consequences of Considering the Consequences.”

When they came for Kevin Spacey it was the height of the Me Too movement. It was a time in history when just being accused of something meant instant guilt.

And I will always have time for someone who’s studied and built an entire filmography around the oddest, darkest impulses of human beings. Signs of a consummate humanist.
