Kevin Spacey was met with a standing ovation last night (October 16) as he returned to the stage for the first time since being cleared of sexual assault charges.Spacey performed a brief scene from the Shakespeare play Timon Of Athens at a theatre in Oxford, during a lecture held in memory of the late conservative philosopher Roger Scruton.Evidently, the extract had been chosen for a reason. Douglas Murray, the conservative columnist who delivered the lecture and invited Spacey to perform in Oxford and delivered the lecture, told the Times that Timon of Athens was about what “happens when a society drops a person for no reason”.Views of Scruton’s legacy remain divisive, and while his work was admired by conservatives, he has been accused of fuelling modern anti-immigrant sentiment.In July, Spacey was acquitted of all nine charges he was facing, including seven counts of sexual assault, one count of causing a person to engage in sexual activity without consent, and one count of causing a person to engage in penetrative sexual activity.He was accused of sexual offences against four men, alleged to have taken place between 2001 and 2013.

Control due to Kevin Spacey’s involvement.Spacey has a voice role through phone calls in the thriller, which marks the actor’s first project since he was cleared of sexual assault charges at a London trial in July.As reported by The Telegraph, Greg Lynn, who runs the London cinema based near Leicester Square, wrote an email to Control actor and producer Lauren Metcalfe to inform them of the cancellation.“We have an issue,” the email from Lynn reads. “It is with my apologies that I have to inform you that we have cancelled your hire with us.“Last night it came to our attention that your film features Kevin Spacey, in particular his first film since the court case.

Kevin Spacey was rewarded with a standing ovation after an appearance at a University of Oxford lecture about cancel culture.

Kevin Spacey is in the headlines for multiple reasons right now.

“Hollywood comeback.”The two-time Oscar-winning actor, 64, took to the stage for the first time since being acquitted of sexual assault charges in London in July.The “House of Cards” alum performed a monologue at the Sheldonian Theatre, an architectural jewel inside the heart of the University of Oxford, from the play “Timon of Athens” written by William Shakespeare in the early 1600s.Spacey was introduced to the audience by British author, political commentator and Post columnist Douglas Murray, who had just finished giving a lecture on the damaging effects of cancel culture in honor of the late Sir Roger Scruton, an English philosopher, writer and social critic who died in January 2020 at 75.Scruton, a government housing adviser, wrongly lost his job in 2019 after he appeared to repeat antisemitic statements and denied Islamophobia was a problem during a magazine interview with the New Statesman.“In an era of cancellation and defenestration, we sometimes forget that we both cannot go on like this and that we have been here before,” Murray said. “We know this because our greatest writers and artists have addressed this question in their own times.

Michaela Zee The world premiere of “Control,” Kevin Spacey‘s first film since he was acquitted of sexual assault, has dealt with a few setbacks after a London cinema dropped its offer to host due to the actor’s involvement in the micro-budget Welsh thriller. The Prince Charles Cinema, an avid supporter of independent film located in Leicester Place, withdrew its offer to host the “Control” premiere after the theater was made aware of Spacey’s role in the movie.

Kevin Spacey’s attempted career comeback has suffered a blow, with a London cinema dropping its offer to host the premiere of his new film.

that time of year again, when the Recording Academy sends out its massive first batch of submissions for the annual Grammy Awards. As genre lines continue to blur in popular music and artists strategize about how to best increase their odds at nominations, the 2024 Grammys are shaping up to be another free-for-all when it comes to who makes the final cut. Each year, fans speculate over where their favorite musicians will land, either in their predicted or surprise categories.

Chris Willman Senior Music Writer and Chief Music Critic Who will be the anti-hero of the 2024 Grammys? Well, if that question sounds a little bit rigged, it’s not far from the truth: Taylor Swift enjoys a level of cultural dominance that few other performers have approached (including monopolizing National Football League coverage in recent weeks). Her fall 2022 album “Midnights” isn’t full of obvious swing-for-the-fences smashes like “1989” or seen as more of an art project like “Folklore” (her last two album of the year winners), but it’s got huge hits and a unique, late-night, bringing-the-club-home feel that will appeal to voters who like artists who don’t make the same album twice.
