Brothers Ethan (Wyatt Oleff) and Derek (Fin Argus) have gotten used to taking care of their mother Michelle (Chrissy Metz) and her prescription drug addiction. Whenever Ethan comes home, he walks through the door warily, knowing it’s entirely possible he’ll find his mother blacked out from her pills. Ethan and Derek have had to handle this situation so many times before, it’s become a tedious routine. The pair try to keep their mother awake by loudly singing songs and having her guess what movies they’re from as they drive to the hospital, where they’ll all stay until morning. When Michelle drives them to get breakfast the next morning, she doesn’t bother apologizing. She knows this probably won’t be the last time, and her sons certainly don’t want to hear false promises once more.

The delicate coming-of-age process is curbed by one family’s struggle with a so-called “crisis” in Stay Awake, writer-director Jamie Sisley’s feature debut. Of course, the crisis at hand is the opioid epidemic, and the afflicted party is a tight-knit family living in a small Virginia town. Michelle is a single mother who undeniably loves her two sons Ethan (Wyatt Oleff) and Derek (Fin Argus). But unfaltering devotion on its own cannot keep Michelle sober, particularly when her doctor keeps refilling her highly-addictive prescription. Most nights, the brothers find themselves desperately […]

Writer-director Jamie Sisley’s Stay Awake, a feature-length expansion of the filmmaker’s short of the same name from 2015, looks at its serious subject matter through a maudlin lens. The film’s title refers explicitly to Michelle (Chrissy Metz), whose opioid addiction routinely finds her nodding off in the backseat of the family car on the way to the hospital, as teenage sons Ethan (Wyatt Oleff) and Derek (Fin Argus) sing notable songs to try and keep her conscious. Across repetitive, overwritten scenes that are intent on verbalizing the film’s themes and ideas, Sisley struggles to find a tonal range that might reflect a more complex set of emotions and as such elevated his film above a glorified Afterschool Special.
More metaphorically, the film’s title refers to teenage conscientiousness about extricating oneself from the minimal career expectations of small-town America. When Ethan gets into Brown University and Derek...

Exclusive: Password, the game show from Jimmy Fallon and hosted by Keke Palmer, is returning to NBC for a second season.
However, Deadline understands that filming of season two of the series has been postponed as a result of the writers strike with The Tonight Show host Fallon among those not wanting to cross the picket line.
The series was expected to film shortly on the Universal lot.
It marks the second major non-scripted series impacted by the writers strike; Deadline revealed earlier today that Mayim Bialik pulled out of hosting the final week of season 39 of Jeopardy! as a result of the strike.
Password launched last August and the first season’s episodes averaged 4.2M total viewers. NBC said it was the number one new show of summer 2022 and the most-watched summer alternative series premiere in two years.

The trailer for the new film Ordinary Angels showcases Hilary Swank's latest drama. The film, which was directed by Jon Gunn, is based on the true story of a Kentucky hairdresser named Sharon Stevens (Hilary Swank) who pulled the community together to help save the daughter of a neighbor (Alan Ritchson), who desperately needs a liver transplant. The cast also includes Skywalker Hughes, Nancy Travis, Tamala Jones, Emily Mitchell, Drew Powell, and Angel's Amy Acker.
Today, Lionsgate premiered the official trailer for Ordinary Angels.
In addition to revealing the details of the movie's plot, the trailer showcases Swank's performance, which seems to draw on two Oscar-winning brassy female roles of the past, namely Julia Roberts' Erin Brockovich and Sandra Bullock's Leigh Anne Tuohy in 2009's The Blind Side. Lionsgate has already released two promotional stills for the film featuring Swank and Ritchson in a snowy scene. Check...

The film recently premiered at the 2023 Berlin Film Festival a few months ago, and will be screening in limited US theaters this May.

After six moving and well-crafted seasons, This Is Us offered an ending that was as gripping as the rest of the series, and each main characters' arc is wrapped up in a meaningful way. The fact that the story of Jack (Milo Ventimiglia) and Rebecca Pearson (Mandy Moore) raising their three adopted children, Randall (Sterling K. Brown), Kate (Chrissy Metz) and Kevin (Justin Hartley) is told in both the past and the present brings more weight and emotion to every episode.
It's clever that This Is Us shares that Jack has died early on in the series, which results in a compelling mystery of what happened to this character along with how it impacts everyone else. It was clear that the This Is Us series finale, which has many emotional quotes, would be a tearjerker, and the last episode is one of the show's best.

Milo Ventimiglia teased a possible reunion with his This Is Us wife, Mandy Moore, on the set of his new ABC series, The Company You Keep. The drama, which makes its debut on Feb. 19, stars Milo as a con man, a role very different than This Is Us‘ lovable Jack Pearson. So how would Mandy Moore figure into a series where Milo’s new character is decidedly different? Milo’s got her role covered.

Mandy Moore is set to star in Twin Flames, a cult drama from the producers of This Is Us. Over the course of six seasons, Moore earned plenty of praise and several nominations for her performance as Rebecca Pearson on the NBC drama This Is Us.

The first teaser for NBC’s Password did this revival zero favors, edited as it was to make a game about the quiet, considered exchange of clues and guesses seem amped up, madcap and rife with Jimmy Fallon antics.
But having now screened multiple installments of the eight-episode summertime revival (which kicks off tonight at 10/9c, followed by a Wednesday-at-9 outing), I can report — with more than a bit of surprise, I admit — that the new Password is… not bad? And even a lot of fun at times.

Reportedly, Sebastian Stan clocks in at 6 feet tall, comparable with 6-foot-2 Mötley Crüe drummer Tommy Lee, whom the actor plays in Pam & Tommy. Co-star Lily James hits 5-foot-7 in flats, which corresponds with Pamela Anderson. But, via extensive research, Pam & Tommy costume designer Kameron Lennox determined that Anderson’s documented height may be with her trademark 4-inch heels on.
In the Hulu limited series (nominated for an Emmy for outstanding contemporary costumes), James often wore Anderson-style high heels, such as for an incognito trip to the library to access the nascent internet, where her Christian Louboutin boots (a take on Uggs) brought James near Stan’s height. But, in the preceding scene, shot from the waist up, James actually stood flat-foot for a tension-filled conversation with Stan as the hotheaded Tommy. “It was so important that [Pam] felt smaller, like she’s vulnerable,...

“When there are people who are so innately, incredibly gifted and talented who write a show — Dan Fogelman — and who act and star in a show — Mandy Moore — that don’t get recognized for the beautiful work, and the way that they have changed people’s lives and hearts and minds, and the connective tissue between other human beings, and they don’t get recognized for it?” she said, pausing to sputter in disbelief. “I understand it’s not everything,...

The hit NBC family drama only earned one Emmy nomination on Tuesday, in the category of best original music and lyrics for the song “The Forever Now” in the season six episode “Day Of The Wedding,” which focused on Kate Pearson’s (Chrissy Metz) second wedding to Philip (Chris Geere) and whether or not Pearson matriarch Rebecca (played by Mandy Moore), who has early-onset Alzheimer’s, would be able to perform at her daughter’s wedding. Rebecca ultimately moves them all as she plays the piano and sings the This Is Us original song in the episode.

The show, one of the most-watched network dramas, received zero 2022 Emmy nominations in the actor and drama series categories, propelling swarms of fans online into a rage over the lack of recognition for what Moore describes as the show's "finest hour."
"Do I wish our show was recognized in what I think was its finest hour? Sure."
"Do I wish our show was recognized in what I think was its finest hour? Sure," the actor shared on her Instagram Stories on July 12. Moore also acknowledged Dan Fogelman's "brilliant writing," Ken Olin's "impeccable direction," and the show's "insanely, wildly talented" cast and crew. She added, "But nothing can take away what our show meant to So Many (us included). That's an incredible legacy to be a part of.

Mandy Moore let her disappointment known on social media about the shocking Emmy nominations snubs for the final season of her beloved NBC series, “This Is Us.” Moore earned some of the best reviews of her career for her performance in the final season, most notably in the series’ penultimate episode. Moore was viewed as a contender for actress in a drama series but didn’t make the cut.

Ken Olin’s impeccable direction? Our insanely, wildly talented cast and crew? Yah…. But nothing can take away what our show meant to So Many (us included). That’s an incredible legacy to be a part of. I will be grateful forever.”

While this year’s Best Comedy Supporting Actress Emmy Awards lineup could correspond to last year’s exactly, the drama one is guaranteed to be completely different. The 2021 winner Gillian Anderson and her “The Crown” costars Helena Bonham Carter and Emerald Fennell have all exited the series (which did not air new episodes during the current eligibility window). Aunjanue Ellis’s “Lovecraft Country” concluded in 2020, and “The Handmaid’s Tale,” for which Madeline Brewer, Ann Dowd, Yvonne Strahovski, and Samira Wiley were all nominated last year, also did not return in time to contend at this year’s Emmys. Scroll down to see our 2022 Emmy predictions for Supporting Actress (Drama Series).
