Call My Agent! series four review: celebrity cameos and gripping drama

For Nomadland, writer-director Chloé Zhao adapted Jessica Bruder’s 2017 book Nomadland: Surviving America in the Twenty-First Century into a screenplay, got Frances McDormand to star in the movie, and hasn’t looked back since.

Chloé Zhao has made three feature films to date, each of them blending narrative storytelling with non-fiction. Her debut, Songs My Brothers Taught Me, told the story of Native American siblings struggling to find their place in a changing world.

The Toronto Film Critics Association named Chloe Zhao's Nomadland as its best picture of 2020 as the American road movie continued its run as an early award season contender. On Sunday, Zhao picked up the best director honor for Nomadland, which also earned Frances McDormand the best actress trophy for her role in the film, while Riz Ahmed earned a win for best actor for his performances in Sound of Metal.

The nominations for the 78th annual Golden Globe Awards left much to be desired when it came to representation and inclusion (no love for Da 5 Bloods, I May Destroy You, really?) but there were some strides worth celebrating when it came to diverse nominees. One notable nod was for Nomadland filmmaker Chloe Zhao who became the first director of Asian descent to receive a Golden Globe nomination.

Emily in Paris was one of Netflix‘s smash-hit shows last year, and the show was quickly renewed for season two after the massive success.

It’s never Golden Globes nomination day without a few snubs and surprises. On Wednesday, February 3, Sarah Jessica Parker and Taraji P. Henson announced the nominees for the 78th Annual Golden Globe Awards, set to air on NBC on Sunday, February 28.

Michelle Pfeiffer is taking a trip down memory lane.

Well, Neon Films have broken the internet today with the first look at Kristen Stewart in “Spencer.” “Spencer” is, of course, about the late Diane, Princess of Wales (her full given name was Diana Frances Spencer), and heralded Chilean filmmaker Pablo Larrain directs it (“Jackie,” “No,” “Neruda.”) READ MORE: The 25 Best Films Of 2021 We’ve Already Seen We’ll be honest, we didn’t think “Spencer” would even begin production this year, and alas, it’s not on our 100 Most Anticipated Films of 2021

Call My Agent! with the same pride I imagine parents feel when their child takes their first steps. We French people are good at a lot of things – sulking, gazing into the abyss with a touch of ennui, and rebelling against any and all forms of authority – but television isn’t our strongest suit.

You have to hand it to Michelle Pfeiffer. First, because the woman seemingly hasn’t aged much at all over the past few decades, which mind-boggling and impressive.

Oscar and Emmy nominee Michelle Pfeiffer (French Exit) will portray Betty Ford in The First Lady (working title, fka First Ladies), Showtime’s anthology, executive produced by Viola Davis who stars as Michelle Obama. Emmy and Golden Globe winner Susanne Bier (The Undoing) will direct and executive produce the series.
