Considering everything that's been happening on the planet in the last several months, you'd have thought we're already in November or December – of 2117. But no. It's only June. 2017. And in some parts of the world, that's the month of brides, fathers, graduates, gays, and climate change denial. Beginning this evening, Thursday, June 1, Turner Classic Movies will be focusing on one of these June groups: Lgbt people, specifically those in the American film industry. Following the presentation of about 10 movies featuring Frank Morgan, who would have turned 127 years old today, TCM will set its cinematic sights on the likes of William Haines, James Whale, George Cukor, Mitchell Leisen, Dorothy Arzner, Patsy Kelly, and Ramon Novarro. In addition to, whether or not intentionally, Claudette Colbert, Colin Clive, Katharine Hepburn, Douglass Montgomery (a.k.a. Kent Douglass), Marjorie Main, and Billie Burke, among others. But this is ridiculous! Why should TCM present a...

Billy Bob Thornton took home the Golden Globe for Best Performance by an Actor in a Television Drama Series on Sunday, beating out his former Fargo co-star, Bob Odenkirk, who was nominated for his starring role in Better Call Saul. So Thornton decided to use his acceptance speech time to address their long-standing "feud."
"I do have to thank the Hollywood Foreign Press very much, for picking me over Bob Odenkirk," said Thornton, who won the award for his performance in the Amazon drama Goliath. "Bob and I have had a feud since the 1940s, when we did a movie with Van Johnson. Remember that, Bob? And we've had a little thing ever since."
"So there you go, bud!" Thornton said, holding his Golden Globe aloft as Odenkirk laughed from the audience.

When Jill Soloway casually dropped “topple the patriarchy” into her Emmys acceptance speech (twice), it was not the first time the writer/producer/director made her story.
Since “Transparent” debuted in 2014, Soloway put Amazon on the map as a television producer, created the first streaming show to win a Golden Globe for best series, and re-defined on-set culture by setting rules prioritizing emotional communication over throwing someone under the bus.

And as Soloway grows, so do the Pfeffermans, the fictional Jewish family whose smothering, bickering, nit-picking love is the emotional heart of “Transparent.” In its third season, which debuts this Friday, “Transparent” comes out swinging with controversial storylines that seem intent on addressing criticism Soloway received for casting few people of color.
Neither overly defensive nor entirely ingratiating, Soloway throws Maura...
