OSCARS | EMMYS | GRAMMYS | TONYS
UPDATED: April 30, 2023 Weekly Commentary: In terms of sheer numbers, the lineup of play revivals this season was relatively sparse – but every single one of them could legitimately claim a place in what is likely to be a category of four unless a tie expands the list. Two starry strong-sellers seem assured to get the nod: “The Piano Lesson,” with Samuel L. Jackson, John David Washington and Danielle Brooks headlining a beloved August Wilson play, and “A Doll’s House,” with Jessica Chastain commanding the stage in a stripped-down take on the Ibsen classic (also in the Emmy conversation). Also likely to claim a spot is “Topdog/Underdog,” the critically lauded production with Corey Hawkins and Yahya Abdul-Mateen II duking it out in Suzan-Lori Parks’ Pulitzer winner. The last show to open before the eligibility cutoff, “The Sign in Sidney Brustein’s Window,” comes in hot, riding the buzz the production cultivated in its run earlier this spring at the Brooklyn Academy of Music.

Marc Malkin Senior Film Awards, Events & Lifestyle Editor Javier Bardem is gushing over Austin Butler’s work as Feyd-Rautha Harkonnen in “Dune: Part Two.” “Seeing him bald or seeing him with hair, he’s an amazing creature to look at,” Bardem told me at the world premiere of “The Little Mermaid” in Los Angeles. “You can look at him for hours and go, ‘Oh, my God — how beautiful you are.’” Bardem continued, “On top of that, he’s so nice. He’s so generous, so funny and so committed. He has done an amazing job. I’ve only had a couple of moments with him, but I would see him and it was like, ‘Wow, [he] is the character.’” Feyd-Rautha is the evil nephew of Baron Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård) and the brother of the sadistic Glossu Rabban, played by Dave Bautista. The two brothers are in competition to become the Harkonnen family’s successor on the planet Arrakis.

Zack Sharf Digital News Director Austin Butler is bald and terrifying in the first look at the villainous Feyd-Rautha from Denis Villeneuve’s “Dune: Part Two.” Butler, a recent Oscar nominee for his performance as Elvis Presley in Baz Luhrmann’s “Elvis,” is one of the high profile new additions to the “Dune” cast along with Florence Pugh and Christopher Walken. Feyd-Rautha was previously played by Sting in David Lynch’s 1984 film adaptation. Feyd-Rautha is the evil nephew of Baron Harkonnen (Stellan Skarsgård) and the brother of the sadistic Glossu Rabban, played by Dave Bautista in Villeneuve’s film franchise.

I have just spent a week at Caesars Palace in Las Vegas. I saw no sunlight from Monday around noon to Thursday. But I did see some movies, or at least part of them. It was of course CinemaCon week, or as I like to call it, ‘the unofficial start to Oscar season’. Many pundits might rather give the upcoming Cannes Film Festival with that kind of distinction, but in recent times this smoke-filled exhibitors extravaganza looks to be the starting gun, if you go by what the studios are dropping footage of between all the popcorn movies entertainment theatre owners really care about.
