Former President Barack Obama reportedly visited the USA Men’s Basketball team earlier this week as they celebrated USA Basketball’s 50th Anniversary ahead of their journey to the Olympics. Obama reportedly wished the team luck while also honoring legendary hall of famers of the sport.
A video of Obama congratulating Team USA has now gone viral. Obama’s interactions with the players and the coaches of the team were pointed out to be awfully similar to a Key & Peele skit that sees a parody of President Obama (at the time) treating different supporters differently.

Before Jordan Peele became a modern-day horror auteur and Keegan Michael-Key became an accomplished actor, the two were hosts and participants of the sketch show Key & Peel. The Comedy Central show saw the duo perform in multiple filmed sketches which parodied current affairs at the time.

Matt Damon broke out into the Hollywood scene with his Oscar winning movie, Good Will Hunting. Alongside his best friend Ben Affleck, the duo won the Oscar for Best Screenplay. And overnight, it was as if they had become industry idols. At just 27, Damon enjoyed one of the most significant moments in his when he walked up to the stage to receive his award.

But where his Oscar came with great delight, it wasn’t without some backstage chatter. The Oscar award it itself is not without controversy, from the lobbying, to the all-white nominations, to the alleged discrimination against Poc, the Academy has had to answer to a lot of things.

Prosecutors say they are looking into “additional violent sexual assaults” allegedly committed by disgraced Hollywood mogul Harvey Weinstein, opening the possibility that more witnesses will come forward to testify as New York seeks a new indictment after his previous conviction was overturned.
Prosecutor Nicole Blumberg argued in a Tuesday hearing before Judge Curtis Farber in New York state criminal court in Manhattan that further assaults Weinstein allegedly committed were still within the statute of limitations to be charged as crimes.
“As we said in 2020, there were women who were not ready to proceed with the legal process. Some of those women are now ready to proceed,” Blumberg said, according to Reuters.
In the February 2020 New York conviction, a jury found Weinstein guilty of third-degree rape of Jessica Mann and a criminal sexual act against actress Miriam Haley. The mogul, who was sentenced to 23 years in jail, has denied the attacks,...

Prosecutors continue to investigate possible new sexual assault charges against disgraced producer
Manhattan prosecutors told a judge on Tuesday they’re anticipating a November retrial for Harvey Weinstein as they continue to investigate possible new sexual assault charges against the disgraced media mogul.
Assistant district attorney Nicole Blumberg said prosecutors have not yet brought their findings to a grand jury and said she could not provide the court a timeline for when their investigation will be complete.

Prosecutors in Harvey Weinstein’s upcoming retrial in New York say that more alleged rape and sexual abuse victims will testify this fall.
Nicole Blumberg, Manhattan’s Assistant District Attorney, told the judge Tuesday that several women who were not ready to speak up during his 2020 trial are now ready to do so.
“A number of women came forward to indicate they were raped by the defendant in Manhattan,” Blumberg said in court. She said the alleged incidents include a “violent” and “trauma-informed” matter that falls within the statute of limitations. The prosecution expects to be ready for the retrial by November, though the defense is pushing for earlier.
On April 25, New York’s highest court ruled in a 4-3 decision that the judge in Weinstein’s 2020 rape trial had allowed too many women to testify about allegations that were not part of the case. Weinstein’s 23-year sentence in New York was reversed,...

Prosecutors in the Harvey Weinstein case are investigating sexual assault claims from additional women who have come forward as they look to a possible new indictment against the former Hollywood mogul.
In Manhattan criminal court Tuesday, Assistant Ada Nicole Blumberg said prosecutors have not yet summoned a grand jury but are continuing to investigate a “violent matter” committed within Manhattan that she said was believed to be within the statute of limitations. The plan is to proceed to trial in November.
During a May 29 hearing for the case, Blumberg had said prosecutors may issue a new indictment against the former mogul, as there may be more women who come out against him and were weighing whether to speak out.
However, Arthur Aidala, the attorney for Weinstein, pushed back against what he saw as a delaying tactic and said Weinstein is “suffering tremendously under his current environment” and that he has...

Elizabeth Taylor hurt her hip. And Sharon Stone’s life would never be the same.
It was May 1995, and the Basic Instinct star, then 37, was at the Cannes Film Festival plugging her new movie, The Quick and the Dead, when she was approached by Dr. Mathilde Krim, founder of the American Foundation for AIDS Research. Would Stone consider standing in for the ailing Taylor as host of the charity’s star-studded annual fundraiser on the Riviera?
She said yes, as she had for years for any ask amfAR had of her. But years earlier, it was not an easy decision. In the late ’80s, AIDS was a disease still shrouded in stigma and shame, even as it devastated much of the artistic community. Stone was warned that taking the gig might very well “ruin her career.”

We're officially knee-deep in summer! The 4th of July just happened, and I'm sure some of you are gearing up for a summer vacation. Whether you're staying at home chilling in a tiny inflatable pool or heading out and hitting the beach, summer is a great time to just take it easy and disassociate from your normal, every-day life. It's also a great season for horror. I know there's a certain subset of folks — let's call them "normal people" — who primarily associate horror with autumn and Halloween. In fact, I've met more than one person in my life who has claimed they only watch horror movies around Halloween time. And while I'm not one to judge, I'll say this: why limit yourself? Horror can be celebrated year-round! Especially when there are a whole slew of scary movies set during the summer season. And that's where this month's horror streaming column comes in.

This article contains massive spoilers for "MaXXXine."
If you want to know the real history of Hollywood in all of its dreamlike, terrible, grimy beauty, you would do well to study the horror film. It's the genre where many pillars of the film industry get their start and one that comments on the darkest aspects of human nature and filmmaking itself without fear of overstepping. Think of Wes Craven's "Scream" quartet: not only do all four films make blatant comments on the contemporary state of the industry, but "Scream 3" even features a character who, in hindsight, is a thinly-veiled version of serial assaulter Harvey Weinstein, an executive producer on the film. The calls were coming from inside the house.
Being a horror movie fan involves not just things like separations of art from the artist, but varying gradations of morality, with so many ethical questions constantly at the forefront of these films.

Superhero Movies that Would Be Better Off Getting a The Boys-Style Remake - Main Image
The Boys introduces a darker and more cynical take on the superhero genre. It shows a superhero-dominated world's moral complexities, flaws, and underlying issues. This realistic take on the superheroes is one of the main reasons why The Boys has garnered so much attention.
Many superhero movies would be entertaining with The Boys’ style of direction. In this article, we will list some of our favourites that deserve a remake in The Boys' style.
The Punisher (2004)
The Punisher should be a top pick if we are talking about a more in-depth and darker look at superheroes. While The Punisher (2004) had its fair share of flaws, Thomas Jane’s (Frank Castle / The Punisher) phenomenal acting made it a worthwhile movie to watch.
For those unfamiliar, The Punisher follows the story of Frank Castle, an FBI agent...

On Monday, bankruptcy judge Sean Lane warned that he has serious concerns about Rudy Giuliani’s lack of compliance and cooperation in the former New York City mayor’s Chapter 11 case.
The judge didn’t immediately decide whether to appoint a trustee to oversee Giuliani’s finances but warned of potential “gross mismanagement” after hearing arguments that the 80-year-old has failed to comply with court orders.
A group of creditors asked Lane to appoint a trustee, arguing Giuliani “can’t be trusted because of dishonesty, incompetence and gross mismanagement.” The creditors’ lawyer, Rachel Strickland, said there were “huge red flags” with Giuliani filing incomplete operating reports and “funneling money” through his company.
Despite a court order not to defame Georgia election workers, Ruby Freeman and Shay Moss, Strickland said Giuliani’s recent online post referencing “voter fraud” was a “clear reference” violating that order. She called Giuliani “shrewd” and argued...

Jennifer Esposito, who just made her feature film directorial debut with the mob movie “Fresh Kills,” revealed that a “notorious, brutal” producer nearly ended her career when she was 26.
“He fired me for no reason,” she said of the unnamed Hollywood heavyweight 26 years after the incident, saying only that he was “Harvey Weinstein-esque.”
The actress/director said on a recent episode of the She Pivots podcast that the producer in question not only fired her from a production around the year 1999, but actively tried to block her from getting any other work in Hollywood.
“He was like, ‘Don’t hire her,’” Esposito said. “He said I was a drug addict, locked myself in the trailer. Never happened. I don’t do drugs. Never did.”
She then told host Emily Tisch Sussman, “He literally had the power and he used it to completely end a young girl’s career at 26 years old.

Jennifer Esposito is recalling how “a Harvey Weinstein-esque type person” tried to end her early acting career.
The Blue Bloods actress detailed on a recent episode of the She Pivots podcast the impact this “notorious, brutal” producer, whom she did not name, had on her.
“He fired me for no reason,” she said of a past project. “He wanted someone else and he got her.” However, it didn’t stop there. Esposito claimed the producer attempted to keep her from getting any additional work in Hollywood.
“But then, like, anybody that called [and] was like, ‘Hey, I want to hire her,’ he was like, ‘Don’t hire her,'” The Boys star explained. “He said I was a drug addict, locked myself in the trailer. Never happened. I don’t do drugs. Never did. If you do, great. It’s just not me.

Quentin Tarantino is arguably one of the best auteur directors who brings a distinct style to his films that is enjoyed by fans. With great films like Pulp Fiction, Kill Bill, Django Unchained, and Once Upon a Time in Hollywood, the filmmaker has always maintained his integrity as a director who goes for original material.

Tarantino has never done a big-budget studio film or dealt with an existing IP. He has talked about how these types of films are taking up most of the theatrical markets while original films are struggling to find audiences. In 2022, the filmmaker bashed the current era of Hollywood deeming it as the worst one since the 50s and 80s.

As she makes her directorial debut, Jennifer Esposito recently reflected on how her early career was impacted by a “Harvey Weinstein-esque” producer.
The Fresh Kills writer and director recalled the “really painful time” in her life, when the producer had her fired “for no reason” and went on to lie about her on-set behavior, telling others not to work with her.
“He literally had the power and used it to completely end a young girl’s career at 26 years old,” said Esposito on the She Pivots podcast. “This was a notorious, brutal producer, a Harvey Weinstein-esque type person.”
She recalled, “So, he fired me for no reason. He wanted someone else, and he got her. But then, anybody that called and was like, ‘Hey, I want to hire her,’ he’s like, ‘Don’t hire her.’ He said I was a drug addict, locked myself in a trailer — never happened.

There are many who are regarded as the best if not some of the greatest in their fields. Filmmaker Hayao Miyazaki and author Neil Gaiman understand that better than anyone else. Both of them are masters of what they do. Some of the most interesting books, series, and movies come out of Gaiman’s creative genius and the same can be said for Miyazaki, whose accolades overshadow those of any other anime director.

Princess Mononoke had a lot relying on it with Miramax and Disney working hand in hand with Studio Ghibli. Miyazaki’s blood, sweat, and tears were put into the making of that movie. However, it was Neil Gaiman’s persistence that saved it from destruction from the American media.

As we’ve mentioned previously, Pope Francis recently invited more than 100 well-known comedians for a get-together that thankfully didn’t turn out to be a Jigsaw-esque trap designed to eradicate comedy forever. In fact, everyone seemed to have a pretty nice time, including Stephen Colbert, Jimmy Fallon and Chris Rock, who seemingly wanted to party with his holiness afterwards.
But now that the dust has settled on this odd event, in retrospect, it’s kind of interesting that Rock was in attendance, seeing as he once starred in a movie that the Catholic Church absolutely despised: Kevin Smith’s Dogma.
If you didn’t catch it in theaters or on DVD (it’s not streaming thanks to Harvey Weinstein) Dogma is about two fallen angels trying to exploit a loophole that would get them back into heaven. Rock plays the 13th apostle, Rufus, who was left out of the Bible because he’s Black.

Tom Hanks is the ultimate ‘good guy’ of Hollywood. The two-time Oscar winner has made a career out of playing morally decent leading men who do the right thing during a stressful situation. He has worked with acclaimed filmmakers such as Steven Spielberg, Clint Eastwood, Robert Zemeckis, and Baz Luhrmann.
Hanks received one of his numerous Oscar nominations for the role of Captain John Miller in Spielberg’s WWII drama Saving Private Ryan. The film followed a group of US soldiers tasked with retrieving a private whose brothers have been killed in action. When Hanks was offered the role, the actor was reportedly surprised by the filmmaker’s choice.

Taylor Sheridan’s debut film as a director tackled the atrocities committed against Indigenous women, both on and off reservations. Wind River, a neo-Western film by Sheridan, took place on the Wind River Indian Reservation in Wyoming and explored the murder investigation of Natalie Hanson. While Sheridan’s film received positive reviews, it was also subjected to heavy criticism for casting White leads.

Since the release of Quentin Tarantino’s revisionist Western thriller The Hateful Eight in 2015, fans had been eagerly awaiting the director’s next project for a torturous four years. Once Upon a Time in Hollywood (2019), his grandiose crime drama delves into the relationship between the Manson family murders and a fictional TV actor (& his stunt double).
It is not merely a film; it’s Tarantino’s cinematic celebration of an era—a star-studded tableau that emphatically stakes its claim as one of 2019’s best displays of acting talent. Under the skillful direction of casting director Victoria Thomas, whose ability to bring the fabled talents of Brad Pitt and Leonardo DiCaprio together to create a screen sensation, the cast of the movie was more brilliant than ever.

Filmmaker Michael Zaiko Hall knew he was courting controversy when he cast Kevin Spacey as the lead in his thriller Peter Five Eight. Now, as the film is becoming available via various streaming services, the director is vehemently defending the decision to cast the two-time Oscar winner, citing the actor’s “rare talent.”
The film is Spacey’s first lead role since being acquitted of nine charges of sexual misconduct brought against him in a London trial in 2023. In May, a Channel 4 documentary titled Spacey Unmasked aired in which the testimonies of another 10 men, not involved with the trial, were featured. Their allegations include that Spacey pushed his groin into the face of an Old Vic worker while serving as the London venue’s director and that he masturbated in front of an aspiring actor as they watched Saving Private Ryan in a public theater.

Warring with Harvey Weinstein, marvelling at Tom Cruise, realising Mona Lisa and many other films were about himself … the great Irish director looks back on his astonishing career
Neil Jordan has spent his career telling strange, twisting stories that have mesmerised, surprised and occasionally misfired. Mona Lisa, The Crying Game, The Company of Wolves, Breakfast on Pluto – these films all veer off in unexpected directions, ambushing the audience. But it turns out the director saved the biggest twist for himself. Watching some of his films at a festival some years ago, Jordan was startled to see his own private life up there on the screen. It seems he had unknowingly channelled his relationships with his father, his wife and his children into stories about gangsters, terrorists and hot vampires. “I was shocked at how much of myself I revealed,” he says. “It was like a physical shock.”

“In the next 45 minutes, we’re about to hear Gus speak more than he has in the last 40 years,” Vito Schnabel, the art world scion who is increasingly turning his head toward Hollywood, told a crowd at New York’s Tribeca Film Festival last week.
He was there to moderate a conversation with American heavyweight filmmaker Gus Van Sant, who just directed Schnabel (and a pack of actors barreling toward Emmy nominations) in “Feud: Capote vs. The Swans.” That history, of a glittery New York whose underbelly was found in the bedrooms and hallways of the ruling class, took a back seat to Van Sant’s impactful career.
He has directed some of the stickiest and profound films of the past four decades, including “Drugstore Cowboy,” “My Own Private Idaho,” the Columbine shooting-inspired “Elephant,” Nicole Kidman’s “To Die For,” the Oscar winner “Milk,” and “Good Will Hunting,” which launched...

Updated with CAA response: CAA is pushing back hard Tuesday after Sage Steele filed a lawsuit against the agency as a part of her suspension and alleged sidelining at ESPN after 2021 comments about Covid vaccine mandates and Barack Obama.
“Ms. Steele’s allegations are a meritless attempt to avoid paying the significant commissions she owes CAA, which is the subject of a claim CAA previously filed with, and presented to, the California Labor Commission that is in the final stage of being decided,” attorney Patrick J. Somers tells Deadline of the complaint Steele filed today in Los Angeles Superior Court against her current agency.
Steele and her lawyer Bryan Freedman say that case revealed that the ex-SportsCenter co-host’s agent Matthew Kramer lied to her, manipulated her and failed to protect her after pubic and corporate backlash against her remarks on Jay Cutler’s podcast.
CAA and its hired lawyer disagree.

After Toy Story, Toy Story 2, and A Bug’s Life, John Lasseter directed his fourth film collaboration with Disney and Pixar, Cars (2006). By the time Pixar animated the story based on anthropomorphic cars, technology had advanced far from what they had used for their revolutionary first film in 1995. According to the reports, the computers used for animating Cars were 1000 times faster than those used in Toy Story.

However, the development of Cars began in 1998 right after the production of A Bug’s Life. It took years for Disney to come out with the film that had clean animations and used some advanced animation techniques. The efforts paid off handsomely as Cars became the sixth-highest-grossing film of 2006.

Gwyneth Paltrow is an incredible actress who broke into the mainstream thanks to her roles in movies like Se7en and Emma. An incredibly talented actress, it is a fact that not many know; Steven Spielberg is her Godfather. A good friend of her father, film producer-director Bruce Paltrow, the actress has thus been often hailed a nepo-baby by several fans.

Ever since Harvey Weinstein was convicted of rape and sexual assault by a Los Angeles jury in late 2022, the once menacing mogul’s attorneys have swore they would be appealing the matter.
Today they finally did, and they made damn sure to hitch the appeal to the April overturning of Weinstein’s 2020 multiple sex crime convictions by a New York jury.
A shocker in some circles and seen as inevitable by others, the order saw a divided Empire State Appeals Court throw out the third-degree rape and first-degree criminal sexual act verdicts and Weinstein’s 23-year sentence. In a 4-3 ruling this past spring, the Appeals Court determined the presiding trial judge improperly allowed “testimony of uncharged, alleged prior sexual acts against persons other than the complainants of the underlying crimes.”
The New York Court of Appeals order a new trial for Weinstein too. As that matter heads back to court,...

Disgraced movie mogul Harvey Weinstein filed an appeal to overturn a rape and sexual assault conviction in Los Angeles, California, on Friday, NBC News reported, weeks after he successfully overturned a similar conviction in New York. Weinstein has requested a new trial.
“Harvey Weinstein was tried by a system devoted to ‘getting him’ at all costs,” his publicist Juda Engelmayer told NBC News in a statement. “This appeal demonstrates nearly a dozen areas of brazen legal missteps that violated his right to a fair trial.” In the filing, Weinstein’s...

This article contains mild spoilers for "Bad Boys: Ride or Die."
The concept of a movie star is a very fragile thing in 2024. Once upon a time, a movie star was something carefully cultivated, their public persona not just controlled but essentially constructed by a studio's PR department. Nowadays, movie stars are still highly desirable to producers and advertisers; the notion of a "name" actor still carries weight. Yet up-and-coming actors are struggling harder than ever to become so-called household names, as one of the biggest issues with media these days is that there's just too damn much of it.
Thus, we have a dearth of capital-m, capital-s Movie Stars right now, and the ones who can still open a movie on the strength of nothing but their name and persona make up a short list. On that list is Will Smith, who successfully transitioned from television to movie screens...

Bertrand Bonello is a director who is rather hard to put into any category, such is the eclectic nature of his work. His latest follows on that trend, with his first deviation into the science-fiction genre, based on Henry James’s novella The Beast in the Jungle. We had the pleasure in speaking to the talented auteur in Paris earlier this year, as part of a small roundtable.
Bonello spoke in great detail about the themes of the movie, and his fears – and hopes – for AI. He also talks about replacing Gaspard Ulliel in the leading role, and why he feels George MacKay was such a special talent to work with. He also discusses the wonderful Léa Seydoux and her approach to the project, while he speaks about his career and the industry as a whole, and why he has never quite been able to fit in.

Manhattan prosecutors revealed in court Wednesday that they are evaluating new sexual misconduct claims against Harvey Weinstein as they prepare for his upcoming retrial on rape and sexual assault charges.
Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg told the judge that additional people have recently come forward with assault allegations against the disgraced movie mogul. Prosecutors are assessing which claims may fall within the statute of limitations.
“Some potential survivors that were not ready to step forward during Weinstein’s first New York trial may now be willing to testify,” Blumberg stated. When asked if a new indictment was possible, she responded, “Yes, your honor.”
Blumberg said the prosecution would update the court on the case’s direction by late June. The next hearing was scheduled for July 9, with Weinstein’s retrial tentatively set for after Labor Day.

Grace Van Dien, most well-known for her role as Chrissy Cunningham in season four of ‘Stranger Things,’ recently spoke candidly about her treatment in Hollywood on a video game streaming platform. In addition to Grace Van Dien’s acting career, she is also a Twitch Streamer known as BlueFille. This is a newer profession, in which people watch and pay people online to play video games. They can also be sponsored by companies to promote products. She later announced on her stream that she had stepped down from acting recently, due to unwanted advances from producers. She alleged that she had been asked to engage in sexual acts to get parts or keep her job. Now, she more frequently streams video games due to the protection that that gives her. According to Variety, she stated, “I get to stay inside my house and play video games and I don’t...

If you want to know how the definition of “scandal” has changed with the decades, you couldn’t do much better than to see “Taking Venice,” Amei Wallach’s highly enjoyable and revealing documentary about a legendary uproar in the art world. The film chronicles what happened at the 1964 Venice Biennale — the exhibition of contemporary art, held every two years, that culminates in the awarding of an esteemed grand prize. At the time, the Biennale was considered to be a kind of art-world equivalent of the Olympic Games. Not just artists but the nations they represented were jockeying for cultural supremacy. In the ’50s and early ’60s, the grand prize often went to the French, but in 1964 the U.S. decided to mount a campaign of “cultural diplomacy” in the hopes that one of its own artists — Robert Rauschenberg — would win the Biennale.

Things often end up going out of control while filming or reading for intense scenes in a film and Val Kilmer’s The Doors is no stranger to this. The 1991 film was based on the short life of musician Jim Morrison and was titled after his rock band. The film focuses on many elements of the late singer’s life including his experience with hard drugs. The role of the vocalist was played by Val Kilmer and Meg Ryan played his girlfriend, Pamela Courson.

However, before Meg Ryan was cast in the role, another actress read for the part – Caitlin O’Heaney. Unfortunately, things took a wrong turn for the actress who stated that she was punched in the face by Val Kilmer during a reading as the actor took method acting to a whole new level.

Harvey Weinstein may face a new indictment on criminal sexual misconduct charges, Manhattan prosecutors told a judge today.
According to the Associated Press, Assistant District Attorney Nicole Blumberg told a judge that they are evaluating additional claims of assault from additional accusers who have come forward. She said that a new indictment is possible, even as Weinstein faces a retrial later this year after his 2020 conviction was overturned.
Weinstein appeared at the hearing today, held in the same Manhattan courthouse where Donald Trump is awaiting a jury’s verdict in his hush money case.
Weinstein was convicted in February 2020 on first-degree sexual assault and third-degree rape after allegations by two women, Mimi Haley and Jessica Mann. But a New York appeals court overturned Weinstein’s conviction last month, ruling that the introduction of prior bad acts testimony was prejudicial to the jury.

More accusers may come forward to testify in Harvey Weinstein’s New York retrial this fall, prosecutors said in court. On Wednesday, the former movie producer appeared in a Manhattan courtroom a month after the New York Court of Appeals overturned his 2020 rape conviction.
Nicole Blumberg, Manhattan’s Assistant District Attorney, told the judge that “some people who were not ready to speak out in 2020” may now do so for the new trial. An exact date for the retrial has yet to be announced, but it’s expected to be sometime after Labor Day.
Weinstein arrived in the courtroom in a wheelchair and sported a shaved head. He gave a thumbs up to his colleagues as two security officers wheeled him in.
Blumberg asked Judge Curtis Farber that Weinstein’s lawyer, Arthur Aidala, refrain from making public statements about witnesses that may intimidate or discourage them from testifying. Prosecutors alleged...

Prosecutors in the Harvey Weinstein case say they may issue a new indictment against the former mogul, as there may be more women who come out against him.
“Some people who were not ready to speak out in 2020 now appear ready to do so in 2024,” Assistant D.A. Nicole Blumberg said in New York criminal court Wednesday. A July 9 hearing was set for purposes of discovery and compliance.
Blumberg disclosed this as she mentioned a letter filed with Judge Curtis Farber asking the judge to direct Weinstein’s defense counsel to refrain from making public statements about witnesses, for fear of scaring off the additional women who may now bring claims. The attorney, Arthur Aidala, had held a press conference outside of the courtroom May 1, after the first hearing in the case, in which he called into question statements made by Miriam Haley, who brought claims against Weinstein in the first trial.

Legendary animator, filmmaker, and manga artist Hayao Miyazaki has a long-withstanding legacy to his name for his astounding achievements in cinema. The director has redefined Japanese animation with beautiful storytelling capabilities in his sleeves. Now, the director is making another movie and it might just break Christopher Nolan’s Oscar record with ease.

Miyazaki, regarded as one of the most accomplished filmmakers and one of the best animators in global cinema, has founded Studio Ghibli and produced several acclaimed titles including Spirited Away, and Castle in the Sky. Nolan who has been a masterful director himself, created a stunning legacy to his name as well. However, he might have a long road ahead to beat Miyazaki’s next potential Oscar record.
