[This story contains spoilers from episode seven of Feud: Capote vs. The Swans.]
American socialite and former magazine editor Babe Paley was married to CBS founder William S. Paley for 31 years. But according to Naomi Watts, who portrays her in Ryan Murphy’s Feud: Capote vs. The Swans, her relationship with Truman Capote was the deepest romance she’d ever had — minus the sex.
“Babe gave herself to this man and all of her secrets,” Watts tells The Hollywood Reporter in the conversation below. “She really trusted him, thinking they were such close friends that he would never dare to expose them.”
It’s for that reason Capote’s actions led to Paley “just [coming] undone,” the star and executive producer had explained earlier in the season to reporters, including THR. As shown in the second season of the FX anthology series, Capote (played by Tom Hollander) reveals the most intimate details of the lives of Paley and the...

Spoiler Alert: This story contains spoilers for Season 5 of “Fargo,” now airing on FX and streaming on Hulu.
Juno Temple leads the fifth season of “Fargo” as Dorothy “Dot” Lyon, a Minnesota housewife whose past begins to catch up to her. When Roy Tillman (Jon Hamm), the abusive ex-husband she escaped, sets out to find her, her survivalist side is revealed. As she lays out booby traps and lights men on fire to avoid being kidnapped, she earns the fitting nickname of “tiger.”
But for Temple, what made Dot a compelling character was not just the traits that made her a tiger, but also the qualities that made her a good mother. The show’s creator Noah Hawley told Variety that Dot’s true weapon is her kindness — which Temple said she “couldn’t agree more with.” She added that Dot also wanted deeply to have a mother figure of her own.

It just wouldn’t be a season of Fargo without a fresh set of Minnesota accents, would it? (Oh yah, you betcha.) FX’s Emmy-winning anthology returns for Season 5 this Tuesday at 10/9c, and TVLine got a chance to talk with the cast about how they developed the distinctive Fargo accent.
In the video above, UK native Juno Temple (who plays housewife Dot) gives credit to the show’s dialect coach Liz Himelstein, calling her “an absolute ninja” and pointing out that Himelstein worked on the original Fargo movie as well as previous seasons of the FX show. Temple adds...

No hostage left behind.
So many of your favorite stars have come together to thank President Biden for his efforts in working to peace amid the Israel-Gaza conflict.
Amid the news that two American hostages and two Israeli hostages have been released from captivity, Hollywood heavyweights are hoping for the safe return of the 220 innocent people who are still being held hostage by Hamas.
“We are heartened by Friday’s release of the two American hostages, Judith Ranaan and her daughter Natalie Ranaan and by today’s release of two Israelis, Nurit Cooper and Yocheved Lifshitz, whose husbands remain in captivity,” the letter read.
The letter continued, “But our relief is tempered by our overwhelming concern that 220 innocent people, including 30 children, remain captive by terrorists, threatened with torture and death. They were taken by Hamas in the savage massacre of October 7, where over 1,400 Israelis were slaughtered – women raped, families burned alive,...

The Best Picture winner usually comes down to how the Academy wants to see itself and the message it wants to send. This year, with the membership diverging between the older (read: whiter) contingent and a younger, more international and diverse membership who have joined in the past three years, the likely winner was far from clear.
Finally, Guillermo Del Toro’s hopeful fairy tale about two outsiders in love was both beautiful and inspiring, with impeccable performances and craftsmanship. It ticked the boxes of inclusion; Mexican Del Toro is the fifth Latin American director winner in Oscar history, joining his chums A.G. Inarritu and Alfonso Cuaron, as well as offering scale and scope. Actually, what he did on a $20 million budget — developing the aquaman design on his own dime and putting his salary into the movie — was remarkable. “Shape” also marks the first fantasy to win the Best...

When filmmaker Mel Gibson decided to tell the World War II story of Desmond Doss, a brave soldier who saved 75 of his company at the battle of Hacksaw Ridge in Okinawa, Japan, he made the choice to return home to Australia to do it. In doing so, he also ended up hiring some of Australia’s finest talent, including Hugo Weaving and Rachel Griffiths.
Another one of the film’s Australian cast is actress Teresa Palmer, who was able to break into Hollywood earlier in her career with roles in Disney’s The Sorcerer’s Apprentice and the young adult films I Am Number Four and Warm Bodies.
In Hacksaw Ridge, she plays Dorothy Schutte, the eventual wife of Andrew Garfield’s Desmond Doss. She’s a nurse Desmond meets and falls for, and whose work inspires him to go to war as a combat medic, while sticking to his...

In the small room in the Vue cinema Leicester Square, the stars from Conviction, Minnie Driver, Sam Rockwell, Hilary Swank and Betty Anne Waters answered questions from the press about the film. Here’s how it went:
Betty Anne, how receptive were you initially to the idea about making a film about your life’s work to honour your brother Kenny?
Betty Anne: Well receptive? It was my brother Kenny who wanted the movie more than anything. The day that he was released from prison I thought that he would be in the paper for the day. Well, Hollywood was calling my house for two months and he would answer the phone and he said “Betty Anne, there’s going to be a movie.” And I said “Stop answering the phone!” But he didn’t. So I became proactive and I got really lucky and I found Andrew Karsch, the producer and Tony Goldwyn,...

Juliette Lewis is known for some great roles in great movies – What’s Eating Gilbert Grape, Natural Born Killers, and Husbands and Wives, just for starters. And I would be lying if I didn’t think that National Lampoon’s Christmas Vacation deserves to be up there, especially as my family annually worships that movie so.
With the Oscar-nominated actress’ latest performance, Lewis dials down the screen time, but ups the supporting character ante in Conviction. In the film she plays Roseanna Perry, a subject in the trial who holds a key to the truth about whether Betty Anne Waters’ brother, Kenny, really did commit murder in 1983. Lewis is in the movie for a total of maybe ten minutes, but her performance is memorable after the film is over.
I had the chance to discuss with the rebellious actress what it was playing this character, how this role fits into her diverse filmography,...
