Christopher Vourlias If there’s anything to be learned from the massive, industry-shaping disruptions of recent years — from the unprecedented challenges posed by the coronavirus pandemic to the lingering fallout from the war in Ukraine — it’s that “the role of the big festivals in the industry ecosystem is crucial,” according to Tiina Lokk, director of the Tallinn Black Nights Film Festival. “When festivals were canceled or changed their dates due to COVID, the cycle of film releases went down the drain, which had a direct impact on cinemas and the whole business model,” Lokk tells Variety. While streaming platforms and Zoom meetings offered a “temporary remedy,” she adds, “it was not a real substitute for live interaction, contacts in a business climate.”

OSCARS | EMMYS | GRAMMYS | TONYS
UPDATED: May 1, 2023 Weekly Commentary: In the races for featured performance in a musical, some nominations are easy to call: They’ll go to the standout scene-stealers, the ones who bring down the house with a powerful number or win big laughs with every line. For featured actor, bet on Kevin Del Aguila for his sweet turn as a besotted millionaire in “Some Like It Hot,” and on Alex Newell, who’s giving a performance that audiences come out of “Shucked” raving about. Justin Cooley’s unaffected, touching portrait of the title character’s friend in “Kimberly Akimbo” also seems likely to get a nod. Beyond that, nominations in the category could go to any one of the strong male supporting players in “Parade” – potentially Alex Joseph Grayson – or maybe to Kevin Cahoon’s joke-a-minute turn in “Shucked,” or to Gavin Creel’s double-take on the Wolf and Cinderella’s Prince in “Into the Woods.” Read: Variety’s Awards Circuit for the latest Tony Awards predictions in all categories.

Following the release of the new Paramount+ series "Fatal Attraction" on Sunday, here are some of the juiciest behind-the-scenes secrets from the making of the '80s movie.
