Image
The organization's board of governors recently announced its 'Academy Aperture 2025' plan to try to further improve the diversity of its membership and Oscar nominees. Last Friday, June 12, the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences revealed that it has met its 'A2020' goals announced amidst the #OscarsSoWhite controversy of several years ago — namely, to double its number of female and non-white members by 2020 — and that its board of governors has approved a package of additional measures to try to further improve the diversity of its membership and Oscar nominees, to be known as 'Academy Aperture 2025.' The Academy declared that prior to the 94th Oscar season, it will set up a task force "to develop and implement new representation and inclusion standards for Oscars eligibility"; shift from a fluctuating five to 10 best picture nominees to a guaranteed 10 in order to maximize the diversity of films nominated for the Academy's top honor;...

FOX+ lets you explore movies you never thought you’d watch

Image
    'War for the Planet of the Apes' “Stepping out of your comfort zone” may sound like a tired cliché from a fortune cookie, or from people who just had to give you an advice, but cynicism aside, everyone should do it. Try something that you’ve never tried before and you’ll be better for it. Don’t worry, you can start small. Order something different at your favorite restaurant. Wear that outfit your stylish friend picked out for you. Read a book you wouldn’t normally read. Or, watch a movie you don’t think you’d like.     'The Big Sick' Yeah, watch a movie. You don’t even have to go to the movie theaters and buy a ticket. Go on FOX+ and just pick a movie you haven’t seen yet, or let your friend pick a movie for you. Pick one that’s not from Hollywood and promise yourself not to give up on it. It’s available anyway, why not watch it? And what’s the worst thing that could happen? You don’t like the movie, but now you know what you’re saying no to. Try ...

Dwayne Johnson at Vin Diesel hindi magkasundo

Image
Nagulantang ang Hollywood nang inamin ng aktor na si Dwayne Johnson na may alitan silang dalawa ni Vin Diesel na nagsimula pa nang ginagawa nila ang "Fast and the Furious 8" noong 2016. Ito ay isiniwalat ni Johnson sa isang interview para sa May issue ng Rolling Stones magazine. Sa panayam ng Rolling Stones, sinabi rin Johnson na hindi sya pumayag na maka-eksena si Diesel para sa sequel ng pelikulang "Fate of the Furious" noong 2017. Nagpahiwatig din si Johnson na hindi pa sure kung sasali pa sya sa "Fast 9" na naka-takdang ipalabas sa 2020. "That is correct. We were not in any scenes together. Vin and I had a few discussions, including an important face-to-face in my trailer. And what I came to realize is that we have a fundamental difference in philosophies on how we approach moviemaking and collaborating. It took me some time, but I’m grateful for that clarity. Whether we work together again or not,” ayon kay Johnson. Naunang is...

Hiwalayan blues: Channing Tatum at Jenna Dewan

Image
Shock ang Hollywood nang mag-announce sila Channing Tatum at Jenna Dewan na maghihiwalay na sila matapos ang siyam na taong pagsasama. Pero bakit nga ba sila naghiwalay? Base sa mga sari-saring reports, wala pa namang third party ang nasasangkot sa hiwalayan ng isa sa mga tinuturing na strong couple sa entertainment world. Subali't tinuturo na pressure sa trabaho ang isa sa dahilan ng kanilang hiwalayan. Si Channing ay naging busy sa paggawa ng apat na pelikula na naka-line up ipalabas ngayong 2018 samantalang si Jenna ay naging abala rin sa isang proyekto. Isa pa rin daw sa dahilan ng kanilang paghihiwalayan ay mas ginugusto pa ni Channing, 37, na manatili sa Alabama kung saan sya nagmula kesa tumambay sa Hollywood kung wala syang ginagawa. Hindi raw type ni Channing ang glitz and glamour ng Hollywood, ayon sa mga report. Si Jenna naman ay type manatili sa Hollywood. Noong Lunes, April 2, naglabas ng anunsiyo sila Channing at Jenna sa Instagram na maghihiwalay n...

Bigating Hollywood stars, laglag sa Oscar 2018 nominees

Image
Matapos ihayag ang mga nominado para sa prestihiyosong 90th Academy Awards o popular sa tawag na Oscars nitong Enero 24, hindi maiwasang pag-usapan ang mga artista o pelikula na hindi nakasama sa mga listahan ng mga nominado para sa taong ito. Nangunguna na rito si James Franco na hinuhulaan ng lahat ng movie critics na makakasama sa Best Actor category para sa pelikulang "The Disaster Artist." Nguni't shock ang marami ng hindi nabanggit ang pangalan ni Franco sa listahan.                                                                  'The Disaster Artist' Ayon sa ibang critics, mukhang hindi nakabuti kay Franco ang pagkakadawit nya sa limang sex sandal case na kinasasangkutan nya. Pero ito naman ay mariing itinanggi ng aktor. Kamakailan lang ay nagwagi si Franco bilang Best Actor In A Comedy sa katatapos l...

Will Michaelangelo Skyllas fall for a Filipina?

Image
Mister Grand International 2017 Michaelangelo Skyllas of Australia is still mending a broken heart these day after he broke off with his girlfriend. "Not at the moment. I came out of a relationship few months ago. I broke up with my girlfriend. So now I am single and I am enjoying the free time," said Skyllas when asked if he is in a relationship these days, during an interview at Psalmstre Glam Slam 2017 held in Marikina City last Oct. 28. Organized by Jaime Acosta, president and CEO of Psalmstre, maker of New Placenta soap, the event welcomed delegates of the Miss Earth beauty competition at a meet-and-greet occasion. Yet the Australian-Greek hunk said that it's possible that he would fall for a Filipina. "Anything is possible in life, believe in yourself. In love, anything is possible. You don't know who you will fall in love with," Skyllas said. In the meantime, Skyllas is focused on his modelling and acting career. He dreams of becoming...

"We're back on the 8th for my fittings for the Hollywood movie I'm not allowed to talk about- I'm filming my scenes this June 2017," said Aquino on Instagram. The 46-year-old actress has remained quiet about the Hollywood film in which she would be part of. But her fans believe that she would star in the film version of the best-selling novel "Crazy Rich Asians." Aquino made the post as she and her children Bimby and Josh went to Japan for a vacation. She hinted that her kids would want to go amusement parks in Japan. "I can't go on the daring amusement park rides & the numerous arcades in Tokyo that are part of Kuya's (and Bimb's) wish list," she added. Aquino also said that she and her kids are ready to transfer for their new home as soon as they arrive...
