Clara was a visionary businesswoman and pioneer of early British cinema. I wish she could have known that her legacy would be The Rio, still programming for everyone in the borough.

The festival typically showcases many French-language films made in Africa, this year including the World Premiere of The Soul of Africa, director Gabriel Souleyka's documentary about African Spirituality.

The second season appears to go in a The White Lotus-esque direction with Oscar Isaac and Carey Mulligan as a couple whose fight is witnessed by two country-club employees.

Nair calls Ray a beacon for her, emphasizing the impact of his work on her perspective of cinema and storytelling in the context of Indian culture.

Emma drops an absolute bombshell in the midst of a game where they're asked to reveal the worst thing they've ever done. Soon everyone around her starts to question how well they really know her.

The Paddington actor-animatronic hybrid from the West End run of Paddington: The Musicalpresented an award! To whom? Does it matter. Bear on stage! Of course it matters who won a BAFTA off Paddington. Congratulations to Boong. Sinners is also have a good night, though not quite as good as anyone who gets to meet Paddington. The film has already won Editing, Original Screenplay and Supporting actress at the 2026 BAFTA Film Awards.

In a big studio-backed awards season, it's rare to see much overlap between the Film Independent Spirit Awards and the Oscars. A west coast cousin of sorts to the Gotham Awards, the Indie Spirits often celebrate the movies that the Academy skipped over with its nominations. The ceremony itself is also more fun (there's some day-drinking involved) than the more staid guild awards that dot the homestretch ahead of the similarly serious Academy Awards.

In an inversion of the usual order of operations, the British Academy of Film and Television Arts presented its Film Award nominations a week after the Academy Award nominations. Looking at the list, there aren't too many differences from the Oscar lineup. Oscar-nominated actors Amy Madigan ( Weapons), Delroy Lindo ( Sinners), and Elle Fanning ( Sentimental Value) were left off the BAFTA ballot, so you can imagine the days of fretting we'd all have done for them had the BAFTA noms emerged first.
