As we wind down this year’s Oscar season, we at Gold Derby are already looking forward to next year’s. Clearly, we can’t get enough. But next year’s Academy Awards season could also concern this year’s as the Oscars afterglow effect could be in full force. Actors can often garner a quick follow-up nomination after breaking through in the nominations list the year prior. Eddie Redmayne accomplished this when he followed up his 2015 Best Actor win for “The Theory of Everything” with a 2016 Best Actor bid for “The Danish Girl.” Similarly, Octavia Spencer was nominated for Best Supporting Actress two years in a row — in 2017 for “Hidden Figures” and in 2018 for “The Shape of Water.” So, which of these year’s acting nominees could return next year? Let’s take a look.
Best Actor
Bradley Cooper has an exciting project that should be out in time for next year’s Oscars.

French-Algerian actor Tahar Rahim first learned about serial killer Charles Sobhraj as a teenager in the 1990s. He picked up the book On the Trail of the Serpent from his older brother’s nightstand, and read about a manipulative murderer who drugged, stole from and killed a series of mostly backpacking victims along South Asia’s “hippie trail” in the 1970s. Two decades later, Rahim would be cast as Sobhraj in true crime drama The Serpent, an eight part series now on Netflix. In it, the actor sought to channel the unnervingly still, hypnotic but fast-striking cobra-like quality the book’s descriptions of Sobhraj had conjured up for him.
Richard Neville and Julie Clarke’s On the Trail of the Serpent: the Life and Crimes of Charles Sobhraj was first published in 1979 and narrates events from the killer’s childhood until the late 1970s. It became a global bestseller on its initial publication,...

The Hollywood archives are packed with movies that, for myriad reasons, have somehow slipped between the cracks, never to be heard from again.
No film sums up that unfortunate group more than 1994's The Fantastic Four, a property now getting rebooted for a second time with a lavish budget and inescapable marketing campaign. We look back at seven movies the industry (and the filmmakers behind them) wants to sweep under the carpet.
1. The Fantastic Four
Bernd Eichinger snapped up the film rights to Marvel's first family in the '80s for a pittance, and with the clock ticking down on his ownership he teamed up with B-movie specialist Roger Corman to produce a $1 million picture in less than a month. With a cast of unknowns and music video director Oley Sassone at the helm, The Fantastic Four ended up getting buried by Marvel in a bid for brand protection.

It's never been easy to be a widow, but in the late Middle Ages, a mother left without a husband faced a future fraught with peril for herself and her children. And when that woman was in the middle of a national struggle, it took an extraordinary kind of courage and intelligence to not only survive but to rise.
Premiering Saturday, Aug. 10 (with an advance screening on Friday, Aug. 9) on Starz, the 10-episode limited series "The White Queen" is set in pre-Tudor Britain in 1464, as the nation is embroiled in the Wars of the Roses, a series of dynastic conflicts between the related Houses of Lancaster (symbolized by the red rose) and York (symbolized by the white rose).
The story focuses on British commoner Elizabeth Woodville (Rebecca Ferguson), the widow of a supporter of the House of York with two young sons. Through a twist of fate, she is introduced...

An episode of Most Haunted - featuring psychic Derek Acorah becoming 'possessed' - could have spooked children when it aired on Sky's Pick TV channel in the early evening last year, Ofcom has ruled.
Broadcast on October 17 at 6pm, the episode saw the Most Haunted team investigating Chatham Dockyard in Kent, where there had been been sightings of so-called "malevolent spirits" and "dark evil shadows".
The programme featured descriptions of various spirits, including a headless drummer boy, duelling cavaliers, a grey lady with no feet who hovered, and the ghost of one of the port's commissioners, Peter Pett, who was later killed in the Tower of London.
At one stage, Acorah suddenly became "possessed", supposedly by the spirit of a soldier, and he then spoke in a gruff deep voice and identified himself as Richard Neville, before collapsing.
During a later seance, Acorah was again "possessed", this time by a 9-year-old boy called Barney Little,...

Doyenne of counter-culture and the restaurant revolution
Sue Miles, one of the central figures of the London counter-culture of the 1960s and a leading influence on the British "restaurant revolution", has died aged 66. She knew everyone, from the Beatles down, and was involved in such seminal events as the Albert Hall poetry reading of 1965 and the obscenity trial of Oz magazine of 1971, before going on to become a leading figure in the restaurant scene of the 1980s.
Susan Crane was born in Brighton and brought up in Los Angeles, where her journalist father, Lionel Crane, was a Hollywood correspondent for British tabloid newspapers. She attended Beverly Hills high school, where among her gilded classmates were Farrah Fawcett and Cheryl Crane (daughter of Lana Turner, who later stabbed her mother's abusive lover to death). The liberal arts college Dalton followed, and in 1961, accompanied by her Yorkshire terrier, a gift from Elizabeth Taylor,...
