Awards season has arrived in the form of the Golden Globes nominations. The awards, which honor both movies and television programs, is often viewed as a preview of the upcoming Oscars. In this week's episode, co-hosts Bruce Miller and Terry Lipshetz go over the list, focusing largely on the movies, which tend to shine brightest at the ceremony. But they also take time to review a few of the TV shows, including the great, but rarely funny "The Bear," which is again in the comedy or musical category. We also have an interview with "Nickel Boys" director RaMell Ross, who spoke with Miller prior to the film receiving a nomination for best drama. Miller also talked with Aunjanue Ellis-Taylor, who starred in the film.

The president's eldest son, 46, hard launched his relationship with Palm Beach socialite Bettina Anderson, 38, by bringing her to the Trump family Christmas celebration at Mar-a-Lago. Just weeks earlier, he publicly announced the end of his engagement to former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle. The new relationship has sparked fears within Trump's camp, amid rumors that Anderson is a social climber with a notorious party girl reputation in Florida . This week, she took to Instagram to issue a defiant response to her critics, sharing a bible passage about lies and manipulation, the Irish Star reported. 'So let them lie. Let them manipulate. Let them talk. You just be still, because when God is on your side, who can stand against you?' the bible passage, from the book of Exodus, states. The passage was part of a video posted by an account which shares motivational quotes and messages, Cycas Motivation. Anderson later shared a photograph taken from the back of a horse, which she captioned: 'Happiness.' The pair took their relationship public shortly before his father will be sworn in as the nation's 47th president on January 20, 2025 This week, she took to Instagram to issue a defiant response to her critics, sharing a bible passage about lies and manipulation. Pictured at MERCEDES-BENZ FASHION WEEK Opening Night Party Allies of the president's eldest son are worried his new flame isn't 'MAGA enough' after her previous support for the Black Lives Matter movement and strict COVID rules. The pair took their relationship public just weeks before his father will be sworn in as the nation's 47th president on January 20, 2025. Anderson plans to join Don Jr . at Trump's Inauguration next month, a source told DailyMail.com, which would be her first public event alongside the first son. 'It's one thing to worry about Palm Beach shenanigans making a stop at Mar-a-Lago,' said a source close to the transition team. 'But to let those problems penetrate the White House is a new level of trouble.' At least two people close with Don Jr. allege that she is only using their friend as her latest step in her 'social ladder climbing' and carefree influencer lifestyle. She describes herself as a 'typical stay at home mom...only I don’t do household chores...or have a husband...or have kids.' Don Jr. and Anderson jetted off to Italy for a romantic getaway days after the news of their relationship broke. Anderson has shared pictures of love letters and flowers sent to her from Don Jr. and also openly documented their luxurious European escape. Anderson later shared a photograph taken from the back of a horse, which she captioned: 'Happiness' First whispers of her relationship with Don Jr. started in September when images emerged of the couple kissing and cuddling while dining at a restaurant near the Trump's southern Florida residence First whispers of her relationship with Don Jr. started in September when images emerged of the couple kissing and cuddling while dining at a restaurant near the Trump's southern Florida residence. At the time, the 46-year-old father-of-five was still publicly engaged to former Fox News host Kimberly Guilfoyle. More images of the two together were obtained in mid-December by Daily Mail and just hours later it was revealed that Don Jr.'s relationship with Guilfoyle was over after a four-year engagement. Stacey Bendet, fashion designer and founder and CEO of Alice + Olivia, said that the smears are due to other women 'fixating on competing' and not empowering each other. 'I have been friends with Bettina for a decade, she is the kindest soul, she has the biggest heart, she is witty and wise, hilariously funny, and an Ivy League grad - anyone who says a word otherwise is just another societal example of women fixating on competing verse empowering.' 'Don adores her for good reasons!!' she added in a text.

Others say that Anderson is trying to use Don Jr. as a 'stepping stone' to reach even 'bigger fish.' Asked why there is such an uprising from those in Palm Beach about Anderson, many had the same answer: 'We want to protect the Trump brand and don't want her close to the family.'

The Sweden midfielder hailed Saturday’s 4-0 thrashing of the champions as the best game of his career. The 24-year-old delivered an outstanding performance as Spurs shattered the champions’ 52-game unbeaten home run, helping start the rout with a superb cross for James Maddison’s opening goal. Kulusevski said: “I believed (we would win) this because in the past years, we’ve come here and played really well. “So this is the game I look forward to most in the year and, once again, it happened – glory to God. “I’d say it’s the best result ever in my career. It’s a big night for the whole club, for the coach, for the players. “Because City have a lot of the ball sometimes, we can rest when we defend. There’s also so much space up there, we play one against one and then it’s always dangerous because we have a lot of quality. “It’s always great to play great teams because they always want to play football. When you play lower teams, sometimes it’s not. There’s not much football played because they are a lot of fouls, a lot of injuries and it’s slow going.” Maddison stole the show with two goals in quick succession in the first half while Pedro Porro and Brennan Johnson later got on the scoresheet.

Asked if his form made him feel “unstoppable”, Kulusevski said: “I feel like that. I feel very good and I’m trying to keep this way. I’m very happy, I’m trying to improve. “I started the season good but there is over half of the season left and I hope I can do much better. “I think I have something that no other player has.

Kulusevski said: “We have to be much more consistent. It’s not a turning point.

At the onset, the edits demanded by the for Iranian filmmaker Mohammad Rasoulof’s political thriller, The Seed of the Sacred Fig, may seem superficial—standard disclaimers relating to the use of cigarettes, and the addition of subtitles. However, a particular demand has not gone down well with all social media users. The Board has excised scenes depicting hijab-burning, a move that has sparked debate among cinephiles because the act was widely considered a symbol of resistance in Iran’s ‘Woman, Life, Freedom’ movement. An insider close to the Indian distribution team told mid-day, “We anticipated little resistance because the scenes must be viewed in the right context. The removal of the scenes is disappointing. Those moments are central to the story, symbolising the spirit of rebellion that the film seeks to highlight. Given the current climate, the CBFC was cautious about potential backlash, but cutting the scenes will feel like a compromise on artistic integrity.” Shot under secrecy in Iran, the film has achieved global acclaim, winning awards at Cannes and other major festivals. Producer Jean-Christophe Simon recounted the perilous journey of bringing the project to life. “Shooting [the film] felt like a thriller. There were moments when crew members had to pretend that they were working on an entirely different film, just to evade authorities,” he told Screen Daily. While the Indian censor’s decision is being seen by some as a pragmatic step in keeping with the political climate, others worry it will dilute the film’s impact. A team member involved in the post-production work called the demand “ironic”, further highlighting the changes demanded by the Board. “The story is about a judge navigating a system of control; yet the film itself faces censorship at every turn. It’s a reminder of how relevant the message is. The standard smoking disclaimers are strewn throughout the film. They deleted the word bast**d from the English subtitles. And, nearly two minutes of the film’s scenes have been tweaked,” the source laments.By JUAN A. LOZANO, Associated Press HOUSTON (AP) — An elaborate parody appears to be behind an effort to resurrect Enron, the Houston-based energy company that exemplified the worst in American corporate fraud and greed after it went bankrupt in 2001. If its return is comedic, some former employees who lost everything in Enron’s collapse aren’t laughing. “It’s a pretty sick joke and it disparages the people that did work there. And why would you want to even bring it back up again?” said former Enron employee Diana Peters, who represented workers in the company’s bankruptcy proceedings. Here’s what to know about the history of Enron and the purported effort to bring it back. Once the nation’s seventh-largest company, Enron filed for bankruptcy protection on Dec. 2, 2001, after years of accounting tricks could no longer hide billions of dollars in debt or make failing ventures appear profitable. The energy company’s collapse put more than 5,000 people out of work, wiped out more than $2 billion in employee pensions and rendered $60 billion in Enron stock worthless. Its aftershocks were felt throughout the energy sector. Twenty-four Enron executives , including former CEO Jeffrey Skilling , were eventually convicted for their roles in the fraud. Enron founder Ken Lay’s convictions were vacated after he died of heart disease following his 2006 trial. On Monday — the 23rd anniversary of the bankruptcy filing — a company representing itself as Enron announced in a news release that it was relaunching as a “company dedicated to solving the global energy crisis.” It also posted a video on social media, advertised on at least one Houston billboard and a took out a full-page ad in the Houston Chronicle In the minute-long video that was full of generic corporate jargon, the company talks about “growth” and “rebirth.” It ends with the words, “We’re back. Can we talk?” Enron’s new website features a company store, where various items featuring the brand’s tilted “E” logo are for sale, including a $118 hoodie. In an email, company spokesperson Will Chabot said the new Enron was not doing any interviews yet, but that “We’ll have more to share soon.” Signs point to the comeback being a joke. In the “terms of use and conditions of sale” on the company’s website, it says “the information on the website about Enron is First Amendment protected parody, represents performance art, and is for entertainment purposes only.” Documents filed with the U.S. Patent and Trademark Office show that College Company, an Arkansas-based LLC, owns the Enron trademark. The co-founder of College Company is Connor Gaydos, who helped create a joke conspiracy theory that claims all birds are actually surveillance drones for the government. Peters said that since learning about the “relaunch” of Enron, she has spoken with several other former employees and they are also upset by it. She said the apparent stunt was “in poor taste.” “If it’s a joke, it’s rude, extremely rude. And I hope that they realize it and apologize to all of the Enron employees,” Peters said. Peters, who is 74 years old, said she is still working in information technology because “I lost everything in Enron, and so my Social Security doesn’t always take care of things I need done.” “Enron’s downfall taught us critical lessons about corporate ethics, accountability, and the consequences of unchecked ambition. Enron’s legacy was the employees in the trenches. Leave Enron buried,” she said. Follow Juan A. Lozano on X at https://x.com/juanlozano70
