Los Angeles (AFP) - The armorer who loaded the gun that killed a cinematographer on the set of the Alec Baldwin movie "Rust" was sentenced to 18 months in prison by a US court on Monday. Hannah Gutierrez stood impassive as a judge in New Mexico told her she was not remorseful for the October 2021 death of Halyna Hutchins during filming of the budget Western. "You were the armorer, the one that stood between a safe weapon and a weapon that could kill someone. You alone turned a safe weapon into a lethal weapon," Judge Mary Marlowe Sommer said. "But for you, Miss Hutchins would be alive. A husba...

Las Vegas (AFP) - Universal Pictures was crowned Hollywood's top studio last year, dethroning Disney at the box office for the first time in nearly a decade with a string of mega-hits like "The Super Mario Bros. Movie" and the Oscar-winning "Oppenheimer." So as movie executives gathered at this week's CinemaCon summit in the face of gloomy industry forecasts and a shortage of upcoming major releases, at least one company had plenty to celebrate in Las Vegas. "There's not much more you could ask for than being number one at the box office, and winning the Academy Award for best picture," said c...

Los Angeles (AFP) - Louis Gossett Jr, the first Black man to win a best supporting actor Oscar for his performance as a hard-man drill instructor in "An Officer and a Gentleman," has died. He was 87. Gossett's family said he died Thursday night in Los Angeles without stating the cause, multiple US media outlets including CBS News reported.

Los Angeles (AFP) - The Golden Globes has inked a five-year broadcast deal with a US TV network, organizers said Monday, after a troubled few years for the awards show. A new deal will see the gala -- a major staging post for movies on the way to the Oscars -- airing on CBS, and livestreamed on Paramount+, starting next year. The agreement solidifies a turnaround for the annual Tinseltown gathering, which was taken off air entirely in 2022 after long-simmering rumors of corruption and scandal burst into the open. CBS carried this year's Globes, reportedly at a steeply discounted rate, which ea...

"Only four other comedic series in the last 27 years have lasted five episodes," analyst David A. Gross said, with ticket sales for the latest entry in Sony's comedy series coming in "well above average for the genre." Still, with a $100 million budget, "Frozen Empire" has a way to go to reach profitability. Co-written by Jason Reitman, whose father Ivan Reitman directed the ...
