HAPPY 90th,

OSCARS!

Late-night host Jimmy Kimmel is back for his second straight year to host the 90th Academy Awards, live on ABC Sunday, March 4.

While Kimmel’s 2017 hosting gig was generally well-received, the memory most viewers took away from that ceremony was when presenters Faye Dunaway and Warren Beatty were given the wrong envelope and mistakenly named La La Land as Best Picture, when, in fact, Moonlight had won.

Kimmel handled the incident with aplomb, and at a recent press conference, he said he is sure something like that wouldn’t happen again. “I don’t think of it as the Titanic-caliber disaster that most people do. … Ultimately, it’s just a bunch of celebrities handing each other trophies.

Let’s be honest.”

On a more serious note, when Kimmel was asked how his Oscars telecast would address the sexual misconduct scandals coming to light in Hollywood, he didn’t have specifics, replying that when planning something like that so far out, “You can’t really know what the temperature is until you get there. … Suffice it to say, I am sure that it will be part of the subject matter of the show.” — Jeff Pfeiffer

HISTORY-MAKING NOMINEES

Guillermo del Toro’s The Shape of Water leads the way at the 90th Academy Awards with 13 nominations, including Best Picture.

All the Money in the World — Best Supporting Actor nominee Christopher Plummer, at age 88, is the oldest acting nominee ever.

2018 Best Picture Oscar Nominees • Call Me by Your Name • Darkest Hour • Dunkirk • Get Out • Lady Bird • Phantom Thread • The Post • The Shape of Water • Three Billboards Outside Ebbing, Missouri 2

Get Out — Jordan Peele is the first black filmmaker nominated for directing, writing and producing in the same year.

Mudbound — The film’s writer/director, Dee Rees, is the first black woman nominated for Best Adapted Screenplay; Rachel Morrison is the first woman nominated for Best Cinematography; Mary J. Blige is the first person nominated for an acting award and an original song on the same film.

Terror

What Happened To Two British Ships That Vanished In 1847? “The Terror” Has Some Eerie Ideas. By Ryan A. Berenz “This place wants us dead,” Francis Crozier (Jared Harris), captain of the HMS Terror, grimly assesses in AMC’s new drama series The Terror. His fellow officers don’t share his dour outlook, but he is absolutely right.

The Terror is based on Dan Simmons’ novel of the same name, which itself was inspired by the true story of the doomed 1845 Franklin Expedition intended to discover the Northwest Passage through the Arctic.

“The Franklin Expedition has been one of the most enduring mysteries from the maritime histories,” says executive producer Soo Hugh. In 1846, the Terror and sister ship HMS Erebus became icebound. After spending two winters stranded, the crew members eventually had to abandon their ships.

“What we do know over the past 170 years, through some of

4

the follow-up rescue missions, is we know some path for some of the men,” Hugh says. “But probably the biggest surprise as we were doing this show was, in 2014, they discovered Erebus about 20 miles off course. And then in 2016 they discovered the Terror.”

The Terror imagines what happened to the expeditioners as they battled the cold, starvation, each other, their own pasts — and possibly a large, bloodthirsty beast.

“It’s a genre story as opposed to being a straightforward historical story,” Harris says of The Terror’s horror/sci-fi excursion. “There’s nothing of that in the first episode, but you knew that that was there. And they really cleverly hinted at this eerie quality — an unsettling quality — that they’d ventured into a place that they didn’t understand.”

“He’s sort of sulking, really.

Crozier’s sulking, and he’s got a bad attitude and a chip on his shoulder.”

“The incredible pressures that they’ve experienced for those two winters in this place kind of strips them all down, and we find out a bit more of what’s underneath.”

Nive Nielsen as LADY SILENCE “I studied anthropology and usually focused on my own culture, the Inuit culture. And I recognized a lot of things in what I read and imagined life would have been like back then.”

Adam Nagaitis as CORNELIUS HICKEY

“This creature, whatever it is that is engaging with us — like the audience, we learn about it as it comes along. The beauty of the show is that learning curve for everyone onboard, and who gathers what and when. That’s very important, and that’s very rewarding.”

WHAT’S NEW

2. ONE STRANGE ROCK Much of the talk about Earth these days is how we’ll exit it — via NASA or SpaceX or maybe getting pulverized by the sort of cosmic event that got us here in the first place. That doesn’t sit well with Oscar-nominated filmmaker Darren Aronofsky.

Aronofsky, who trained as a biologist, paired up with the “mega-documentary” experts at Nutopia and an eight-pack of astronauts to craft One Strange Rock, a 10-episode love letter to our home planet. The team traversed the globe, composing a visual feast of a travelogue cum natural history lesson — what Aronofsky describes as “not just a film about animals, not just a film about cultures, not just a film about science, but blending them all together [to] tell a story that’s emotional. The breakthrough came when we stumbled on the idea of working 6

with astronauts. … They all had this different perspective on the planet that was magnificent, seeing our world from the outside.”

Showrunner Arif Nurmohamed says the crew also focused on “the wonderful, emotionally connective nature of ordinary people around the world living their lives … be it a salt trader or a scientist.” People like French free diver Guillaume Néry, who demonstrates Earth’s tenuous place in the cosmos in the very place where the asteroid that wiped out dinosaurs struck. Or Moroccan children hunting meteorites scientists clamor for. Narrated by Will Smith, the series inspires a childlike sense of wonder — a welcome way to leave behind the troubles in your world by immersing yourself in the magic of our world.

Paul Getty Sr., and Harris Dickinson plays his teenage grandson, J. Paul “Little Paul” Getty III, who was kidnapped and held for ransom in Rome in 1973.

Getty Sr. refused to pay the ransom, leaving the negotiations to the boy’s desperate mother (Hilary Swank) and the investigation to an ex-CIA agent (Brendan Fraser).

When Shandling passed away in 2016, he was remembered as a top standup comic and star of two groundbreaking sitcoms. This film shows how complex the “real” Shandling was, via interviews with more than 40 of the comedian’s family members and friends, and through journal writings the self-proclaimed “spiritual warrior” kept for decades that reveal a brilliant mind and restless soul.

ROSEANNE

The Beloved Series And Its Outspoken Star Return To ABC.

Following in the nostalgia-filled footsteps of other series (Will & Grace, Full House/ Fuller House), ABC is proudly rebooting its groundbreaking comedy Roseanne. The exploits and adventures of the working-class Conner family center around the mother of the family, played by comedian Roseanne Barr. “I think it’s fun to check back in with the family that you knew and felt you knew so much about and that you enjoyed so much,” Barr said at the Television Critics Association’s winter press tour. “This was a show about female empowerment, about people speaking their minds,” added executive producer Tom Werner. “It was very important for 10

us to come back and honor that.”

Now, the series, led by its outspoken matriarch, returns to ABC for nine new episodes.

Most of the series’ original cast takes part in the revival, including John Goodman, Laurie Metcalf, Sara Gilbert, Michael Fishman and both actresses who played eldest daughter Becky, Lecy Goranson and Sarah Chalke, although Chalke will play a new character in the reboot.

Estelle Parsons, Sandra Bernhard and Johnny Galecki will make guest appearances. The series will also acknowledge the death of Glenn Quinn, the actor who played Mark in the original series, while ignoring a few plot elements like the final-

season death of Goodman’s character, Dan.

When it aired in the ’80s and ’90s, Roseanne was the unapologetic voice of the middle class, and viewers dubbed Barr their heroine. Throughout its nine seasons, the series was consistently at the top of Nielsen ratings and was lauded for its unashamed exploration of class, race, weight and sex in Middle America.

“I’ve always tried to have it be a true reflection of the society we live in,” explains Barr. In the new season, the show casts its eye upon the divisive state of American politics, aging, gender, healthcare and the nation’s opioid crisis. And, as it did decades ago, Roseanne will tackle the tough issues with a dose of brutal honesty and heart. “The humor comes from reality,” says Goranson. “It comes from a deep place, and I think that people want a meal and not a snack,

and they’ve had a lot of snacks over the past 20 years. That’s my small opinion.”

As for Roseanne, she’s thrilled to just have the chance to close the Conner family story.

“I think that I’ve grown up. I’m a grandmother now. I have six grandchildren. And I’m 65 years old. And I’m so happy that I have Medicaid. Or is it Medicare? I mix them up. And, in fact, this whole arc of this season is about healthcare and stuff like that,” Barr says. “In the original series, I always wanted to have a 10th year so that I could do exactly what I did in these nine [episodes], which was to finish and complete the story of this family, so I always had that in my head that that was how it would go. And so I’m very happy that we got a 10th season and we got to do that.”

What You Need To Know About The Singing Competition’s Return.

By Kellie Freeze

Nearly two years after American Idol ended its 15-season run on FOX, the reality singing competition returns to TV with a fresh bounty of starry-eyed talent hoping for their chance at stardom. And if you’re wondering what to expect, the reality juggernaut offers an inside look at the new Idol.

Seacrest In — While its home is on a new network, much of the series has remained the same, including the show’s format, many of its producers, and its Emmy-winning host, Ryan Seacrest. “Ryan has been there right from the beginning,” says executive producer and showrunner Trish Kinane. “It wouldn’t be the same without him.”

Prepare To Be Judged — To serve as judges, the series has drafted three forces in the music industry: country star Luke Bryan, pop queen Katy Perry and Motown legend Lionel Richie.

All three stress a desire to discover and launch a career into the stratosphere. “We’re here to really find a star,” says Perry.

Idol Hits The Road — One of the elements that American Idol has kept alive is its nationwide talent search. This season, the show visits 23 cities in search of America’s next superstar.

Eleven of American Idol’s first 15 winners have hailed from the Southern U.S. Returns to ABC Sundays & Mondays beginning March 11-12 12
