Before scoring three Oscar nominations this year for Netflix’s Maestro — including best picture, actor and original screenplay (the latter shared with Josh Singer) — Bradley Cooper had already garnered an impressive nine Academy Award nominations as an actor (Silver Linings Playbook in 2013, American Hustle in 2014, American Sniper in 2015 and A Star Is Born in 2019), a producer (American Sniper, A Star Is Born, Joker in 2020 and Nightmare Alley in 2022) and a writer (A Star Is Born). His latest crop of nods makes him a 12-time nominee across those three categories and one of the most successful multi-hyphenates working in film today.
So it’s fitting that the star would take on Leonard Bernstein as the subject for his sophomore feature, which features Cooper as the enigmatic composer and conductor — with co-star and fellow Oscar nominee Carey Mulligan playing Bernstein’s wife, Felicia Montealegre. Rather than your typical biopic, however, Maestro looks...

Most people would run in the other direction if they found out their family had credible ties to the mob. Unfortunately, Bailey Michaels didn’t get the memo.
In this week’s fifth episode of Apple TV+’s “The Last Thing He Told Me,” Bailey (Angourie Rice) and her stepmother Hannah (Jennifer Garner) continued their search in Austin for answers about why her father Owen (Nikolaj Coster-Waldau) disappeared four days earlier.
What first seemed like a tech startup scam gone wrong has quickly unraveled the fake lives Owen and Bailey apparently have been living since she was a child. In the final moments of the episode, Hannah finds out why.
Owen and Bailey –– or rather Ethan and Kristie Young –– fled Texas after Bailey’s mother died,...

"Catch Me If You Can" is one of those low-key Steven Spielberg classics that, had it been made by a lesser-known director, might've well been heralded as their masterpiece. Released in 2002, the film stars Leonardo DiCaprio as Frank William Abagnale Jr., a real-life con artist who spent his teen years masquerading as an airline pilot, a doctor, and a lawyer in the 1960s, all while forging checks to bankroll his escapades. The movie actually leaves out some of the wilder details in Abagnale's 1980 autobiographical book of the same name, like how he posed as a professor of sociology at Brigham Young University. And to think we were this close to getting a scene where DiCaprio's playboy swindler infiltrates the ranks of that primarily Mormon institution.
In truth, of course, the veracity of Abagnale's claims about teaching at Byu and his other activities has come under heavy scrutiny over the decades.

“I was surprised at just how personable and charming and kind he is,” admits Gabriel Labelle about Steven Spielberg, whose semi-autobiographical Amblin Entertainment film “The Fabelmans” features the young actor playing the equivalent of a young Spielberg. He plays the role of aspiring teen filmmaker Sammy Fabelman opposite Michelle Williams, Paul Dano and Seth Rogen. It’s a performance that has catapulted him into the Oscar conversation and permitted him to “sign with incredible agents and publicists. It’s such a blessing. It’s just opened so many doors.” Watch our exclusive video interview above.
The Vancouver, British Columbia-born Labelle was plucked from relative obscurity for the plum role. He starred in the 2017 indie horror feature “Dead Shack” and landed as a regular on the 2022 Showtime series “American Gigolo” with Jon Bernthal and Gretchen Mol. But co-starring in a Spielberg film has obviously served to rocket his budding career to a whole other level.
