Every actor dreams of winning the most coveted award of all — the Academy Award — for their work. But there's one award they dread: the Golden Raspberry Awards, a.k.a. the Razzies. Some see it as unnecessarily cruel and mean-spirited, while others view it as a playful jab at a self-aggrandizing industry that sometimes deserves to be knocked down a peg, especially when the work isn't very well-made. Founded by UCLA film graduates John J.B. Wilson and Mo Murphy, the award inspires filmmakers and actors to "own their bad" (via the Razzies' official website)

But there's only one actor with the most Razzie nominations—12 wins and 40 nominations in all—and that (dis)honor belongs to Sylvester Stallone. Sylvester Stallone has "won" in many categories, including Worst Actor for "Rhinestone," "Rocky III," "Rambo: First Blood Part II," and "Stop! Or My Mom Will Shoot"; Worst Supporting Actor for "Spy Kids 3-D: Game Over...

Bill Murray's pick for his career-best performance may surprise fans. The Hollywood legend recently singled out 2005's forgotten comedy Broken Flowersas the work he's most proud of.

Murray is frequently recognized as one of the greatest comedy stars of his era, with his performances as parapsychology professor Dr. Peter Venkman in Ghostbusters, jaded TV executive Frank Cross in Scrooged, and smooth-talking news reporter Phil Connors in Groundhog Day among his most notable roles. The actor's 2005 portrayal of an aging playboy in Broken Flowers earned praise from critics at the time of release, but flew under the radar for many.

Bill Murray Says Broken Flowers is His Best Movie Performance

During a recent appearance onHot Ones, Murray looked back on career highlights in between downing extremely spicy chicken wings without flinching. Host Sean Evans asked Murray if he'd even given a screen performance he knew he could never top.

Nobody better forget that Nobody is heading to Peacock next month. The 2021 action movie was written by Derek Kolstad and produced by David Leitch, two of the creatives behind the wildly successful John Wick franchise.

Beginning April 1, everybody with a Peacock subscription will be able to stream Nobody. Directed by Russian filmmaker Ilya Naishuller, Nobody starred Better Call Saul's Bob Odenkirk as Hutch Mansell, a seemingly ordinary family man with a huge secret. After his home gets invaded by burglars who steal his daughter's kitty cat bracelet, Hutch reveals that he was formerly a government-trained assassin. In pursuit of the thieves, he crosses paths with Russian drug lord Yulian Kuznetsov (Aleksei Serebryakov) leading him to join forces with his father, retired FBI agent David (Christopher Lloyd), and his brother Eddie (RZA) to defeat the Russian gang.

Nobody received generally positive reviews from critics, earning an 84 percent fresh rating on...

Apart from The Simpsons Movie, Bart Simpson really isn’t in any other feature films. That being said, thanks to the show’s Spaceballs-esque penchant for excessive merchandising, Bart’s image has shown up in a few non-Simpson movies, such as 1991’s Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles II: The Secret of the Ooze, which included a prominently placed Bart Simpson-branded glass.

But while Ninja Turtles II was a family film, a far more unexpected pseudo-cameo from Bart occurred in a movie released the following year: the blockbuster erotic thriller Basic Instinct, which featured Sharon Stone, Michael Douglas and, if you saw it in a theater in the ‘90s, hundreds of horny moviegoers.

The film concerns a homicide detective (Douglas) investigating a series of ice pick murders seemingly committed by a famous author (Stone). Oddly, the police psychologist who’s having an affair with Douglas, Dr. Beth Garner (played by Jeanne Tripplehorn...

The latest Robert De Niro movie to grace the big screen, The Alto Knights, understands one key rule: the more De Niro you can have in your movie, the better. Hence, it stars De Niro in two roles, as duelling mob bosses – a genre and milieu that he knows better than most, having starred in several of the greatest gangster movies ever made. But that’s just scratching the surface of De Niro – compelling whether he’s playing career criminals, comedians, cackling psychos, or champion boxers. Through his collaborations with Martin Scorsese, Francis Ford Coppola, Michael Mann and beyond, he’s delivered some of the most mesmerising performances ever captured on celluloid – creating indelible characters along the way.

Team Empire gathered to vote for the 10 best Robert De Niro movies, totting up the ballots to deliver a list of legendary performances in must-see motion pictures. The result is a list of tortured heroes,...

This April, Legend is digging deep into the vault of genre-defining cinema with a line-up of channel premieres guaranteed to thrill, provoke and entertain. The network’s spring slate reads like a who’s who of cult filmmakers and action greats, with titles from John Carpenter, Paul Verhoeven, Michael Winner and Neil Marshall all making their Legend debut.

The chaos kicks off on 5th April with Carpenter’s Escape from New York – a dystopian thriller that still bristles with energy more than four decades on. Kurt Russell’s eye-patched anti-hero Snake Plissken remains one of the most iconic figures in genre cinema, and his high-stakes rescue mission across a walled-off Manhattan prison is the perfect way to launch the channel’s month-long celebration of cinematic mayhem.

The channel also brings Michael Winner’s controversial revenge classic Death Wish (18th April) into the spotlight, marking its first appearance on Legend. Charles Bronson...

Actor Kevin Costner is one of the most talented actors in the industry currently who garnered massive attention after he starred in his first regular TV role as John Dutton III in Taylor Sheridan’s Yellowstone. Costner was highly appreciated for his role as the patriarch of the Dutton family.

She explained: "It's important to me as an actor to be able to make a living, but I'm going to tell you something — I paid more money to my babysitter and my dog walker than I made to be in Boyhood."

With Euphoria finally in production on the long-awaited third season, Barbie Ferreira is addressing the online speculation about her exit from the HBO series.

After announcing her departure in 2022, the actress recently clarified that she “never walked off set,” explaining her decision not to reprise her role as Katherine “Kat” Hernandez in the Sam Levinson series.

“I think instead of me kind of lingering around for nine months, I think it was best for both of us that we just ended it there,” she said on The Viall Files podcast. “Of course it’s hard — I love Euphoria. I love Kat. Kat means the world to me. I spent so many years pouring everything into her, but it’s like, you don’t want to ruin a good thing.”

Ferreira continued: “It was a mutual decision. It was absolutely not just me.

Sydney Sweeney, known for her role in Euphoria, is one of the talked-about actors as she is landing roles one after another. Apart from acting well, she is known for her seemingly effortless physique. It is quite normal for fans to be curious about the actor’s physique and her workout routine.

While many might assume that achieving such a toned midsection requires grueling daily gym sessions, Sweeney’s approach is refreshingly different. She is far from a supplement-popping, protein-shake-drinking celeb. Rather, she prefers to take the act of working out more casually, preferably by playing water sports.

Sydney Sweeney captivated audiences with her portrayal of Cassie in the hit teen drama Euphoria. She then starred in Anyone But You alongside actor Glen Powell. Given their undeniable on-screen chemistry, rumors quickly began swirling that there might be romantic feelings between the two.

While both were quick to dismiss these claims, Sweeney’s current relationship status with fiancé Jonathan Davino is raising questions. The couple has reportedly postponed their wedding, and according to sources, things are not going well in their relationship.

Are Sydney Sweeney and Jonathan Davino heading for a split?

In Hollywood, on-screen relationships sometimes transition to off-screen romances. While this is true for some actors, for others, these rumors are nothing more than speculation. The same happened with Sydney Sweeney when she starred in Anyone But You alongside Glen Powell. Soon, rumors began swirling that the duo was romantically involved.

Another Simple Favor is Blake Lively's first film following the It Ends With Us legal drama, which is still ongoing. The movie was a sequel to the commercially successful 2018 mystery A Simple Favor, reuniting Lively with Anna Kendrick and Paul Feig.

While the film had encouraging reviews following its world premiere at the 2025 South by Southwest Film Festival, Lively can't escape controversial projects. On Mar. 13, Oscar-nominated actress Sharon Stone alleged in a comment on social media that she was cast and then removed from the sequel "for no reason at all." The director hasn't responded to the claims, but a source told People that Stone was "never cast" in the film.

"I Loved being cast and removed from my role unexpectedly for no reason at all Loved it," Stone wrote in the comment section of an E! News Instagram post feeding into the feud rumors between Lively and her co-star Anna Kendrick.

Sydney Sweeney, famous for her roles in Euphoria and The White Lotus, has been the subject of a breakup rumor with her fiancé Jonathan Davino. The speculations of their break arose when the couple was seen residing separately. This led the media and fans to question the current state of their relationship.

Earlier this week, Davino was seen overseeing the construction work at Sweeney’s lavish residence, engaging with constructors and taking phone calls. What made the fans more concerned is the casual look of Davino, which is a total contrast to Sweeney’s recent glamorous look at the Paris Fashion Week. In the same event, Davino’s absence was noticeable.

There is news and drama involving Another Simple Favor that has nothing to do with Blake Lively, and it's pretty nice to get a bit of a break. This latest headline regarding the sequel, which just had its premiere at SXSW, is a little strange, however, because it's completely relying on the word on one side of this party, at least for now. Sharon Stone has entered the Another Simple Favor chat, and it appears it has everything to do with being allegedly disinvited from embarking on the Capri, Italy, adventure with the rest of the cast and crew.

According to a comment that Stone left under an Instagram post for the E! News show Hot Goss, the actress was hired for a role in Another Simple Favor before being removed from the cast. The actress wrote, "I Loved being cast and removed from my role unexpectedly for no reason at all Loved it,...

Sharon Stone is throwing stones at “Another Simple Favor.”

Director Paul Feig’s sequel film stars Blake Lively and Anna Kendrick, reprising their roles from 2018’s “A Simple Favor.” However, Stone claims she, too, was part of the ensemble cast.

“I Loved being cast and removed from my role unexpectedly for no reason at all Loved it,” Stone wrote to an E! News Instagram reel about the film. Stone was in talks for the role that later went to Elizabeth Perkins. A source close to production confirmed that Stone was never actually cast in the film; the deal did not go through due to budget issues. IndieWire has additionally reached out to representatives for Amazon MGM Studios and Stone.

The rest of the ensemble includes Andrew Rannells, Bashir Salahuddin, Michele Morrone, Alex Newell, Elena Sofia Ricci, Henry Golding, and Allison Janney.

“Another Simple Favor” premiered at SXSW as the opening night film.

Among the new faces in “Another Simple Favor,” the sequel to Paul Feig’s 2018 film starring Anna Kendrick and Blake Lively, was apparently supposed to be Sharon Stone. But in a testy Instagram comment on Thursday, the actress said she was “removed” from the film’s cast “for no reason at all.”

In a recent reel posted by E News, the hosts debated whether there has been any tension between Kendrick and Lively, who both return for the sequel, amid Lively’s legal battles with “It Ends With Us” co-star Justin Baldoni (“Another Simple Favor” director Paul Feig has denied as much).

In the comments section of the post, Stone opted to air out some frustrations, writing “I Loved being cast and removed from my role unexpectedly for no reason at all Loved it.”

She accompanied her words with four of the clapping emojis, but when pressed for more detail by the E News account,...

Blake Lively got the chance to move on from her legal battle with It Ends With Us co-star, producer, and director Justin Baldoni. The actress recently premiered her new movie, Another Simple Favor, at the South by Southwest Festival, marking the sequel to the 2018 film A Simple Favor.

The sequel reunited Lively with Anna Kendrick and director Paul Feig, as well as several returning and new characters. Another Simple Favor debuted with an unexpectedly favorable Rotten Tomatoes score of 77% and further grew to 80% out of 25 reviews. However, the film has another simple controversy on its hands as actress Sharon Stone claimed she was cast and removed from the sequel in a comment on E! News' Instagram reel about the film.

"I Loved being cast and removed from my role unexpectedly for no reason at all Loved it," Stone wrote in the comment section with a series of clap emojis.

The sequel to Paul Feig’s twisty-turney mystery comedy A Simple Favor, titled Another Simple Favor, aims to weave an even bigger web as the movie premiered at SXSW. Our Chris Bumbray was present at its screening and thought it was pretty fun, though not as good as the original as he said in his review, “It’s absolutely watchable, if not a patch on the surprisingly rock-solid original. It should prove to be a big streaming hit for Prime Video, and while it’s not a movie that cried out to be made, taken as a lark, it’s good fun.”

“I should have been dead at the end of that!”

Those were comedian Marc Maron’s first words following the premiere of the feature documentary about him, “Are We Good?,” at the SXSW Film & TV Festival on Tuesday. The film, directed by Steven Feinartz, covers the full breadth of Maron’s career, from his start in the 1980s as a cocaine-fueled acolyte of stand-up Sam Kinison through the rapid success of his comedy podcast “Wtf.”

“I thought, it’s amazing this guy is still alive,” Maron joked as he took to the stage of the Zach Theater in Austin following the premiere. “Because usually that’s a movie about a guy that died already.”

Death was understandably on Maron’s mind: The majority of “Are We Good?” focuses on how he’s processed his grief after his girlfriend, filmmaker Lynn Shelton, died suddenly of an undiagnosed blood disease in May 2020. Picking up a year later,...

With his recent passing at age 95, Gene Hackman left behind a legacy few other actors could match. Despite retiring over 20 years ago, Hackman still loomed large in American movie culture, a testament to his commanding screen presence and deep wells of humanity. His versatility meant that he could comfortably slot into any number of genres, and the '90s saw him step effortlessly into a run of westerns, beginning in 1992 with his Oscar-winning turn as a corrupt sheriff in Clint Eastwood's Unforgiven.

A few years later in 1995, Hackman took on another villainous western role in Sam Raimi's amped-up genre homage The Quick and the Dead, which recently celebrated its 30th anniversary. While the film flopped pretty hard upon release, it's come to be considered an underrated cult classic on the strength of Raimi's direction and strong performances from Hackman, Sharon Stone, Russell Crowe, and a 20-year-old Leonardo DiCaprio.

How Much Did Robert De Niro Pay To Fix His Teeth After Ruining Them For Cape Fear Role? (Photo Credit – Prime Video)

Only a few actors have gone to greater lengths for a role than Robert De Niro. The Hollywood legend didn’t just transform his body or learn new skills; he literally ruined his own teeth. It cost a cool $5K to wreck them, then another $20K to fix them.

De Niro went all in for Cape Fear (1991), grinding his teeth down for $5K to perfect Max Cady’s menacing look – then dropping $20K to fix them afterward. That’s dedication but also a costly smile transformation. The transformation didn’t stop at his teeth. De Niro bulked up, hitting the gym to sculpt a terrifyingly muscular frame. He also covered himself in fake tattoos, adding to Cady’s menacing presence. The result? A performance so intense it earned...

Sydney Sweeney, the breakout star best known for her roles in Euphoria and The White Lotus, has been ruling Hollywood with her acting talent.

In addition to a rich résumé of iconic roles spanning decades, the celebrated actor is perhaps best remembered for playing Lex Luthor in the Christopher Reeve era of Superman films.

The tragic loss of Hackman has fans rummaging through the archives to look back at the great body of work he left behind. One of these movies is a 1995 Western that doesn't get the full praise it deserves.

Many first spied Sharon Stone when she made her wordless big-screen debut in 1980, billed as Pretty Girl on the Train, in Woody Allen’s “Stardust Memories.” She does leave an impression while blowing a kiss from behind a train window. As Stone has said, “I gave it my best shot to melt that sucker.”

She would come to define a ‘90s brand of sex symbol, one who was more in control of her fate in films and not afraid to enjoy sex as well as dabbling in lethal behavior. Her signature performance remains 1992’s “Basic Instinct,” as a bisexual psychopath with likely murderous intent. It is hard not to acknowledge that the quality of her films has been up and down, resulting in nine Razzie nominations, including three wins. But she compensated when she poured her soul into Ginger McKenna, a booze-addicted, me-first ex-hooker married to Robert De Niro’s...

Marc Maron will be back on HBO with his next stand-up comedy special.

The host of Wtf with Marc Maron will film the special in New York in May and it will be released later this year. There are no details as to what Maron will opine on in the new untitled hour.

Maron’s last special – From Bleak to Dark – aired on HBO in 2023. That special, which was his first for the Warner Bros. Discovery-owned cable network, was filmed at New York City’s Town Hall and saw him tackle topics such as getting older, antisemitism and faith, and his thoughts on having children – especially during the pandemic.

He also opened up about reestablishing his complicated relationship with his father following a difficult diagnosis and the loss of partner Lynn Shelton in 2020.

“I’m not an arena act,” Maron told Deadline in 2023. “There’s no way I’ll be that guy.

Basic Instinct was a cultural milestone in the 90s. It made a superstar out of Sharon Stone and ignited a subgenre of erotic thrillers that weren’t afraid to push the boundaries of the R rating. Paul Verhoeven, who has constantly battled the MPA with his past movies, including Robocop, helped to give Basic Instinct that raw edge that put it above other films of the genre.

However, she is currently filming for the long-awaited season 3 of Euphoria, which finally began production after several delays.

Director Paul Verhoeven’s 1992 film, Basic Instinct, had arguably one of the most controversial scenes in cinema at the time. Sharon Stone’s famous interrogation scene in which she uncrosses her legs while wearing a white mini-dress has been a point of contention for the Golden Globe-winning actress since the film was released.

Per Deadline, in a new interview with The Times of London, Stone, who co-starred with Michael Douglas in Basic Instinct, talked about how before Basic Instinct, she made a significant career decision regarding the costumes she wears in the films she makes.

Stone said that she made a made-for-tv movie back in the 1980s and after filming, the studio ended up selling off her entire wardrobe at a discounted price. She said she felt embarrassed that potentially a member of the production crew would be able to buy her underwear. “I thought, ‘Never again,’” said the Casino actress.

Sharon Stone made her tiny white mini-dress famous when she wore it for her interrogation scene in her breakthrough role in Basic Instinct.

Stone explained: “I had it put into my contracts that I keep all my clothes from films, unless they are studio rentals.”

Her decision meant that, following the success of her role of murder suspect Catherine Tramell in the erotic thriller Basic Instinct in 1992, her memorable outfit was hers to keep. She told The Times...

Ahead of the Academy Awards this weekend, a look back at legendary Oscars host Billy Crystal and his classic opening songs.

Conan O’Brien will hosting the 97th Oscars this weekend. It’s a pretty solid choice by the Academy after a slew of slightly dull (and even calamitous) ceremonies.

Even if O’Brien absolutely nails the gig, it’s unlikely he’ll be anywhere near as good as the best host of the modern Oscars: Billy Crystal. Crystal hosted the ceremony a total of nine times and made it look easy. His opening monologues have become iconic, thanks to his quick wit and cracking songs.

Crystal hosted the Oscars for the first time in 1990 and opened the show with a joke about the previous year’s opening act. “Is it me or are you just glad I’m not Snow White?” Crystal joked, referencing the awful sketch with Rob Lowe...
