Bonnie Fuller, editor-in-chief for Hollywood Life, joins Cheddar to recap the 90th annual Academy Awards. "The Shape of Water" took home the Oscar for Best Picture.
Fuller says her favorite moment of the evening was Frances McDormand winning Best Actress for her performance in "Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri." McDormand took the opportunity to recognize all female nominees, and also encouraged actors to request inclusion riders in their contracts.
Fuller says how happy she was for Jordan Peele after he won the Oscar for Best Original Screenplay for his film "Get Out."
Fuller also notes the show devoted a lot of time to the Me Too and Time's Up movements, including a taped segment and inviting Ashley Judd and Mira Sorvino to speak.
Hollywood closed out an up and down 2023 with “Wonka” regaining No. 1 at the box office, strong sales for “The Color Purple” and an overall $9 billion in ticket sales that improved on 2022’s grosses but fell about $2 billion shy of pre-pandemic norms.
2024 is the Year of the Dragon for the Lunar New Year, which kicks off February 10. To commemorate the occasion, the U.S. Post Office unveiled a new dragon stamp.
