Can Demi Moore and 'The Substance' finally get the Oscars to respect horror?

Feb. 17, 2025

When Demi Moore won best actress at the Critics Choice Awards for "The Substance," she thanked voters for recognizing a horror film, saying that movies in the genre are normally "overlooked and not seen for the profundity that they can hold." She's absolutely right. During a conversation with entertainment journalists at an event in January, I predicted Moore would win the best actress Oscar, to which one fellow reporter incredulously replied, "Have you seen 'The Substance'?" It was a fair reaction given that gnarly body-horror movies aren't generally the Academy's cup of tea.

'SNL50' didn't do justice to the past 50 years of comedy: Review

Feb. 17, 2025

Fifty years of "Saturday Night Live" is a lot of history, legacy and pressure to pack into a one-night special, even if it's 3½ hours long. But producer Lorne Michaels and the "SNL" cast and writers, past and present, tried to do just that in the show's 50th anniversary special Sunday on NBC, a star-studded black-tie bacchanalia of celebrity cameos, sketch revivals and self-congratulatory montages that gave it the flavor of an awards show crossed with an extended episode of "SNL" crossed with a drunken party that should have been attended only by people who have actually worked on the show. The special even featured an "In Memoriam" segment, although it was reserved for all the offensive and poorly aged sketches over the years (and to remind us they re-aired a lot of the racist and sexist stuff).
