O-t Fagbenle has a message to former president Barack Obama, whom he portrays in the upcoming Showtime series “First Lady,” set to premiere April 17: “Barack, call me.”

Fagbenle discussed his upcoming turn as the 44th president, alongside Viola Davis’ Michelle Obama, at the premiere of Apple TV Plus’s “WeCrashed” on Thursday at the Academy Museum. But did he try to contact President Obama to prepare for his role?

“I did try and get in contact with him, of course!,” Fagbenle said. “This is what happened: Viola knows Michelle, and Viola had been chatting to Michelle, so I was like,

When Sacha Baron Cohen’s “Who Is America?” hit the airwaves in 2018, it quickly became the talk of the town in political circles. The Showtime series featured the comedian using a variety of fake personas to trick high-profile figures, ranging from notable politicians to famous internet trolls, into sitting down for embarrassing interviews. While the format was similar to previous Cohen projects like “Da Ali G Show,” it was recognized for Cohen’s remarkable ability to fool people, especially considering the fact that his fame had increased significantly over the years.

Speaking to Judd Apatow for his latest book “Sicker in the Head: More Conversations About Life and Comedy,” Cohen opened up about some of the enemies that the show made him in Washington. While few were surprised he was able to trick the likes of Oj Simpson and Joe Arpaio, Cohen recalled the story of duping someone who really

Natascha McElhone is no stranger to spectacle (watch her Ronin car chase vs. DeNiro), outer space (having shepherded The First‘s Mars mission and haunted Clooney in Solaris) or scale (as a part of the reality-warping Truman Show).

When the ASC launched its awards in 1986, a single statue was given for feature film cinematography, presented by Gregory Peck to Jordan Cronenweth for his work on Francis Ford Coppola’s “Peggy Sue Got Married.”

Now, 36 years later, the American Society of Cinematographers Awards is returning to the smaller scale of yore even as it promises to celebrate a wide range of image-makers. The ceremony will take place on March 20th at the ASC Clubhouse, the org’s modest, if stylish, headquarters in Hollywood, rather than in a cavernous ballroom.

But even though ASC has reduced the scale of the event this year,

Whether you’ve seen the animated shows or you’ve only watched the live-action Star Wars content, there’s no denying that the trailer for Obi-Wan Kenobi looks cool. It had everything: new planets! Obi-Wan (Ewan McGregor)! Darth Vader (Hayden Christensen) breathing! “Battle of the Heroes,” and more iconic music! But, while you didn’t have to have seen the animated programs to appreciate the brief snippets of the show, there’s one “new to live-action” character that might befuddle movie- or live-action-only Star Wars fans: The Grand Inquisitor. Here’s why he’s important. Disney+/Lucasfilm Who Is the Grand Inquisitor? To understand the Grand Inquisitor, first, a bit of backstory on Inquisitors themselves.

“Atlanta” did about as much in its first two seasons as a TV show can do. It managed to weave together the stories of a group of people all trying to find their way in their careers, friendships, and the future. And yes, the show also fit in some alligators, Bieber, and fake cable networks along the way.

Now after acclaim, some immense storytelling freedom, and a four-year (!) hiatus, “Atlanta” Season 3 has arrived. Ahead of its March 24 release date, here’s a quick refresher on what there is to know about where the show left off, what might be ahead, and how close it is to its own ending.
