IFC Midnight Picks Up Domestic Rights To Psychological Drama ‘Kindred’

You know what they say: pride cometh before a fall.

Oh snap! Josh Peck has been opening up quite a lot lately while promoting his new memoir Happy People Are Annoying. And his honesty has paid off with some seriously juicy talk this time!

Cybill Shepherd was spotted taking a walk in Los Angeles with her three dogs on Thursday (March 17). The 72-year-old Moonlighting alum looked to be enjoying her sunny stroll as she was accompanied by a friend, who helped keep watch over her precious pups.

Sasha Urban editorAs the pandemic raged and in-person screenings practically disappeared, the Academy’s Screening Room has found an appreciative audience.Many film distributors are able to send links to their films to various guilds, media members and voters; the Academy has stepped in with its screening room, offering voters those films plus other contenders who can’t afford to do that.With the Acad’s growing international membership, the website has been a boon, especially to those who submitted shorts, documentaries and international films.The website may also have helped international films such as “Parallel Mothers,” “The Worst Person in the World” and “Drive My Car” earn noms in other categories, such as original screenplay for “Worst” and three others for “Drive” (best picture, screenplay and director Ryûsuke Hamaguchi). Although there have been growing pains since its inception in 2015, the streaming room has found an appreciative audience among the 9,573 Oscar voters.“Our membership, especially internationally, was continuing to grow,” says Tom Oyer, senior VP of member relations and awards for the Academy of Motion Picture Arts & Sciences.

Netflix finally stop crying itself to sleep on Oscars night?That’s the sad streaming giant’s dearest hope for next week, when “The Power of the Dog” enters the ceremony (Sunday, March 27 at 8 p.m. on ABC) as the favorite to take home the Academy Award for Best Picture. And, despite it being pretentious and languid, director Jane Campion’s ‘flix film probably will win. But until they hear that “Puh” from the presenter’s mouth — unless, of course, it’s uttered by Warren “Bungle” Beatty or Faye “Flub” Dunaway — Netflix execs will be biting their nails and taking swigs of Jameson from a flask.

Roku.The series, set in 1986 Australia, stars Anna Torv (“Fringe,” “Mindhunter”) as Helen Norville, the tempestuous co-anchor of the “News at Six” in Melbourne alongside her aging, jealous colleague, Geoff Walters (Robert Taylor), who’s turning 60 and clings to his days as a Vietnam War correspondent to assert his relevance. He knows (but won’t admit it) that viewers are tuning in to the newscast for Helen; their on-camera smiles disguise the icy off-camera friction between.The “News at Six” team also includes young, fresh-faced producer/reporter Dale Jennings (Sam Reid), who’s hoping for his big break as a newsreader and snaring that all-important morning “update” segment — but muffs it, big-time, when he fills in for Helen after she storms out of the station following a loud fight with her boss, news chief Lindsay Cunningham (William McInnes) — after he calls her “a war zone on two legs” and says she has “a face like a slapped a–.” He knows that Helen is the network news division’s bread-and-butter and he tells her as much … in his own un-PC way.
