Zack Sharf Digital News Director Timothée Chalamet first revealed in September 2022 that his “Don’t Look Up” co-star Leonardo DiCaprio once gave him brief but essential career advice: “No hard drugs and no superhero movies.” DiCaprio has never gone down the comic book movie route, and it’s a path Chalamet has also avoided so far despite the majority of his contemporaries signing up for Marvel and DC films in recent years. Is Chalamet still committed to DiCaprio’s advice? In a recent interview with The New York Times while on the press tour for “Dune: Part Two,” Chalamet said the door on starring in comic book movies is not completely shut the way it might be for DiCaprio.

Clayton Davis Senior Awards Editor After a year hit with Hollywood strikes and an early buzz positioning Christopher Nolan’s drama about the creation of the atomic bomb as a frontrunner, sentiments from more than a dozen Oscar voters on the first day of final voting revealed a strong backing for Nolan. “Nolan fucking deserves it,” an anonymous voter emphasizes to Variety, highlighting the widespread acclaim for Nolan’s direction and billion-dollar blockbuster.

In some ways, Oppenheimer, Christopher Nolan’s biggest non-superhero movie, was a product of the pandemic. Until the winter of 2020, the director had been loyal to Warner Bros., and their logo was to be found on every film that Nolan either wrote, directed or produced.

Warning: Spoilers ahead A new study has revealed the films which have left British viewers the most confused by their endings, with one director’s output dominating the list.Conducted by the group BonusFinder, the list has been compiled by aggregating the total number of UK-based Google searches related to explaining the endings of films, with Martin Scorsese’s 2010 psychological thriller Shutter Island coming out on top.In the film, Leonardo DiCaprio plays the US Marshall Teddy Daniels, who travels to a hospital for the criminally insane to investigate the disappearance of a patient. However, as the film progresses, it is revealed that Daniels is in fact a hallucinatory persona and that “Teddy” is in fact Andrew Laeddis, another US Marshall who had been imprisoned at the facility for murdering his wife after she had killed their three children.The film ends on a philosophical note, as DiCaprio’s character appears to simulate another psychological relapse in order to bring about a lobotomy procedure, as living with the knowledge of his reality has become too much to bear.Not taking the top spot, but with four different entries in the top ten are the films of Christopher Nolan.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Helen Mirren recently told Entertainment Tonight that you can’t get too upset about Oscar snubs, especially when your movie is a historic and record-breaking box office phenomenon. Mirren, who won the Oscar for best actress thanks to her performance in “The Queen,” served as the narrator of Greta Gerwig’s “Barbie,” which earned eight Oscar noms, including best picture, but failed to land Gerwig a best director nomination or Margot Robbie a best actress nomination. These omissions were widely considered the most shocking Oscar snubs of the year, not that Mirren is in too much of an uproar.

Well, this is certainly good timing. David Krumholtz, who appears in Christopher Nolan’s “Oppenheimer” as Isidor Isaac Rabi, one of Oppenheimer’s best friends from an early age, is having a moment.
