Watch: Best Picture Nominees Showcase for the 2024 Academy Awards

"You see beyond the world we live in... There is a price to be paid for that." The Academy has revealed their 2024 Best Picture Nominee video just before the Oscar ceremony this weekend. This wonderful 2-min montage brings together all 10 of the nominees – from Barbie to Maestro to Oppenheimer to Poor Things – to reminds us why we love movies so much. And highlight each of the nominees and their powerful themes and the stories they're telling. The Academy also created one of these montages last year – though it played during the ceremony it was only during a break. This video was edited by a friend of the site, best known as "Sleepy Skunk", who has been creating movie trailer mashups and retrospectives for years (view them all there). This one is just as beautiful as always. His final shot ending with the fire from Oppenheimer is pretty much a nod that it's going to win a bunch of Oscars in a few days. At least that's what everyone is predicting. Thanks to The Academy for posting ...

Official Trailer for Stellar ‘Frida’ Documentary About Artist Frida Kahlo

"Many lives would not be enough to paint everything I want." Prime Video has unveiled the official trailer for the documentary film Frida, which premiered at the 2024 Sundance Film Festival a few months back. Not to be confused with the narrative feature also called Frida (from 2002 which won Best Original Score & Best Make-Up Oscars), this is the comprehensive documentary version of her story. Frida is a raw, magical journey into the life of iconic artist Frida Kahlo, told through her own words from diaries, letters, essays, interviews. Vividly brought to life with lyrical animation inspired by her unforgettable artwork. An intensive journey spanning two years, director Carla Gutiérrez and her formidable team of artisans, most of whom are women and proudly Latine, crafted a singular cinematic experience that could be no ordinary art history lesson. A living portrait emboldened by the magical realism befitting Kahlo's remarkable life emerges. Yet, her voice ultimately remains supreme, a complex and powerful "multitude of Fridas": fearless, seductive, defiant, vulnerable, raucous, wonderfully alive. If that isn't a compelling pitch, I don't know ...

"Riley's life requires more sophisticated emotions than all of you..." Meet all of her new emotions! Pixar has revealed their main official trailer for the sequel Inside Out 2, opening in theaters in June this summer. The first look teaser dropped in November last year, introducing us to where this sequel is headed - with more "emotions" crowding in Riley's mind. "Anxiety, voiced by Maya Hawke, might be new to the crew, but she's not really the type to take a back seat. That makes a lot of sense if you think about it in terms of what goes on inside all our minds." The full Inside Out 2 voice cast also includes Amy Poehler returning as Joy, Phyllis Smith as Sadness, Lewis Black as Anger, Tony Hale as Fear, Liza Lapira as Disgust. This trailer also introduces us to the other new emotions in Riley's mind: envy (voiced by Ayo Edebiri), ennui (voiced by Adèle Exarchopoulos), and embarrassment (voiced by Paul Walter Hauser). Danger, Riley. These four newbies take over as she begins to grow up and head out ...
