Caroline Brew editor Steven Yeun won the Emmy for lead actor in a limited series or movie for “Beef,” marking his first win.

“I want to thank Andrew Cooper for talking to me one night. Our incredible on-set photographer, a legend. There were days when it was difficult to live in Danny’s skin.
Sometimes I wanted to judge him. Sometimes I wanted to make fun of him. He pulled me aside and he’s like, ‘Never bail on Danny.'”
Yeun continued, “I want to say thank you to Danny for teaching me that judgment and shame is a lonely place, but compassion and grace is where we can all meet.” Yeun stars opposite fellow Emmy winner Wong in “Beef,” about a road rage incident that escalates into a drawn-out feud between their two characters.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Kristen Stewart‘s domination of the 2024 Sundance Film Festival continued at the Variety Sundance Cover Party presented by United Airlines, where Stewart was honored for her starring roles in two big festival premieres: “Love Me,” a post-apocalyptic romance film in which she stars opposite Steven Yeun, and “Loves Lies Bleeding,” an A24-backed crime thriller in which she played a reclusive gym manager who falls for a local bodybuilder. “It’s hard to get here,” Stewart told Variety at the party about returning to Sundance, where she has premiered more than a dozen movies throughout her career. “Not because it’s an established and elite film festival, but because it supports marginalized voices.
Peter Debruge Chief Film Critic On the most literal level, Sam and Andy Zuchero’s “Love Me” is about the relationship between a buoy adrift at sea and a satellite circling the earth. The eccentric rom-com takes place in a time after humans have gone extinct, when the surviving machines’ only references are a massive hard drive’s worth of data combed from search engines and social media sites.

The FOX Network broadcast itself was simply great (more on that below) but I have a severe case of déjà vu after attending Monday night’s 75th annual Emmy Awards. It is as if in this vast TV universe of networks, streamers, cable, You Tube and more content that a human being could ever consume, the people who vote for awards have only seen three shows. Am I wrong? Every time I put on my tux and go to an awards show in 2024, meaning the past eight nights, it is always the exact same results for Limited, Comedy and Drama Series. At the Golden Globes it was Beef, The Bear, Succession. At Sunday night’s Critics Choice Awards it was Beef, The Bear, Succession. At the Emmys it was – you guessed it – Beef, The Bear, Succession.
Beef creator Lee Sung Jin has revealed that he is open to expanding the world of the hit series if Netflix “wanted”.Speaking to a couple of media outlets backstage at the 75th Emmy Awards – per a Variety report – Lee said that despite the future of Beef up in the air at Neflix, he sees “so many paths” forward.While acknowledging that it “could stay limited”, Lee also suggested that it could turn into an anthology. “I feel like there are so many paths.

Tom Holland is looking sharp!
Andrew Scott and Paul Mescal are no strangers to the “internet boyfriend” phenomenon — a term used to describe a collective crush by social media users. And they are perfectly fine with being in a league that includes Timothée Chalamet, Pedro Pascal, and Oscar Isaac.
