Actor Lou Diamond Phillips, documentary filmmaker Simon Kilmurry and writer Dana Stevens are among the 11 film professionals who have been elected to the board of governors of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, the Academy announced on Thursday.Those new governors are part of a wholesale makeover of the AMPAS board prompted by new term limits imposed last year. In 10 of the 11 branches where first-time governors were elected, the incumbent governors were unable to run again because of those new limits, which restrict governors to two consecutive three-year terms.
Last year, when those limits were instituted, 10 governors were termed off the board and 12 first-time governors were elected.This year’s election means that 23 of the 55 members of the board will be in their first or second term.In the Academy’s 18 branches, all six incumbent governors who were eligible to run again were re-elected. Those are Debra Zane (Casting Directors Branch), Ava DuVernay (Directors Branch), Steven Rivkin (Film Editors Branch), Linda Flowers (Makeup Artists and Hairstylists Branch), Lynette Howell Taylor (Producers Branch) and Rob Bredow (Visual Effects Branch).Aside from Phillips, Kilmurry and Stevens, governors who have been elected for the first time are Daniel Orlandi (Costume Designers), Hannah Minghella (Executives), David I.
Dinerstein (Marketing and Public Relations), Richard Gibbs (Music), Kalina Ivanov (Production Design), Jinko Gotoh (Short Films and Feature Animation) and Mark P. Stoeckinger (Sound).Cinematographer Ellen Kuras was returned to the board after a hiatus.

Thania Garcia Drake and 21 Savage delivered a jam-packed setlist for the opening night of the “It’s All A Blur” tour that launched at Chicago’s United Center on July 5. The show marked Drake’s first concert stretch across North America since the “Aubrey & the Three Migos” tour hit over 40 arenas in 2018. Drake opened the concert sitting on a couch where he recited “Look What You’ve Done,” a cut from his 2011 album “Take Care,” while reading the lines off of a composition notebook. A younger version of Drake (there’s online debate regarding whether or not the boy is a hologram or if he’s real… it appears to be an actor whose face they’ve digitally altered on the venue’s jumbo screens) regularly appeared beside him for songs released earlier in his discography.

Dancing With The Stars is back for another season and it has already had quite a dramatic start. Watch Below: Matt Preston low score on Dancing With The StarsThe show's first elimination was anything but normal, with ex-MasterChef judge Matt Preston choosing to leave the show early on his own accord. A voting system usually determines the series eliminations with the bottom two teams required to compete in a dance-off, however, Matt who found himself in the bottom two alongside AFL star Gavin Wanganeen, chose to quit the competition. “I’ve loved everything about this, but my ankle is cooked,” Matt told hosts Daryl Somers and Sonia Kruger during Sunday night's episode. “I can’t dance again tonight so what I want to do is to concede and give the win to Gavin, who did brilliantly today and I’m so proud to be doing this for you, brother.”Responding to the surprising news, Daryl revealed that the show had "never had this happen" and turned to the judges to see their reaction. “I mean, injuries happen and there’s nothing you can do about that,” Craig Revel Horwood shared.“I’ve been a dancer all my life, if you’re injured you shouldn’t dance on an injury – so Matt, I think you’ve made the right decision. Sad to see you go, but Gavin, darling welcome, for you get another life on the show now.”“You’re absolutely doing the right thing and thank you for giving us determination and your courage, you’ve been wonderful,” Sharna Burgess added.“And I’m gonna give you a big hug after the show.”This highly anticipated 2023 series marks the show's second instalment on the network, having originally aired from 2004 to 2015 before briefly moving to Channel 10.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic In case anyone is tempted to think of country music as a one-man phenomenon at present with Morgan Wallen’s seemingly indomitable runs atop multiple charts, Luke Combs has come along to remind everyone that this town is big enough for the both of ’em. They’re now forming a two-man roadblock at the top of the Billboard Hot 100, as, between them, country owns the top two spots on that all-genre charts for the first time in 42 years. Wallen’s smash “Last Night” remains on top of the Hot 100 — no news there, since this is the song’s 14th week at No. 1. But it is a fresh development to have Combs’ cover of Tracy Chapman’s “Fast Car” cruising close up behind it, moving up one spot to No. 2. It’s the first time the genre has claimed Nos. 1-2 on Billboard’s primary chart since March 1981, when Eddie Rabbitt’s “I Love a Rainy Night” and Dolly Parton’s “9 to 5” managed the same crossover-success feat.

Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic If you’re going to make a movie about a kraken — those giant multi-tentacled sea monsters believed to wrestle ships from below — then computer animation is hands down the way to go. The trouble with doing so at a major American studio is that it comes with the imperative to turn these fantastical creatures into cutesy-wootsy kid-movie fodder, which is precisely what DreamWorks Animation does with the reasonably clever myth-twisting toon “Ruby Gillman, Teenage Kraken.” The creative team’s high-concept take suggests “Twilight” as a (literal) fish-out-of-water comedy, wherein a family of blue-skinned squid-things attempt to pass as human. Fifteen years ago, Flora (voiced by Toni Collette) and Peter (Colman Domingo) abandoned the ocean to raise their kids on land. Despite the obvious hurdles — their conspicuous cerulean tint, floppy limbs and invertebrate status — they’ve been reasonably successful at blending in. Anytime someone looks suspicious, Ruby (Lana Condor) just says she’s from Canada, and that does the trick. But Ruby’s not nearly as comfortable with her own otherness, which she’s spent her entire life trying to disguise. All of that gets a lot more difficult a few days before prom, when she dives into the sea to save her crush, Connor (Jaboukie Young-White). Contact with water awakens something deep within Ruby and releases her inner kraken.
