A Golden Night of Firsts, Power Plays, and Purpose at the Golden Globes
The Golden Globe Awards delivered a night that felt equal parts celebration and cultural temperature checkโbut the evening found its emotional center early with a defining moment: Teyana Taylor winning her first Golden Globe on her very first nomination.
Taylorโs victory for Best Supporting Actress in One Battle After Another was more than a personal milestoneโit was a statement. In a room filled with industry veterans and legacy power players, her win underscored the Globesโ growing openness to honoring artists who shape culture beyond traditional Hollywood lanes. Gracious and grounded, Taylor used her moment to acknowledge Warner Bros. while uplifting fellow women of colorโsetting the tone for a night defined by purpose as much as prestige.
Warner Bros. DominatesโAmid Uncertainty
Hollywood showed up in force for Warner Bros., awarding the studio a sweeping slate of top prizes across film and television. Yet behind the applause lingered a quiet tension. With the studioโs ownership and creative direction under scrutiny, the wins felt both triumphant and fragileโproof of whatโs possible when filmmakers are trusted, and a reminder of what could be lost if that freedom disappears.
That theme came into sharp focus when One Battle After Another writer-director Paul Thomas Anderson accepted Best Director. He credited WB co-chief Mike De Luca, recalling a decades-old promise that he would one day run a studio and โlet directors do whatever the hell they want.โ On this night, that philosophy paid off.
The film itself dominated the ceremony, collecting Best Film (Musical or Comedy), Best Original Screenplay, and Best Supporting Actressโwith Teyana Taylorโs historic win serving as its crowning moment.
Sinners Claims the Peopleโs Crown
If One Battle owned the awards tally, Sinners owned the cultural conversation. Directed by Ryan Coogler, the genre-bending vampire race allegory took home Best Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, honoring the yearโs most beloved blockbuster.
In his acceptance, Coogler made a pointedโand widely applaudedโstatement about the importance of theatrical releases, thanking Warner Bros. for committing to the big-screen experience. In an era dominated by streaming-first strategies, Sinners stood as proof that audiences still crave communal moviegoingโand will reward studios that believe in it.
Television Wins and Legacy Echoes
Warner Bros. Television continued the streak when HBO Maxโs real-time medical drama The Pitt won Best TV Series (Drama). Creator R. Scott Gemmill thanked WBTV executives while standing alongside John Wells and Noah Wyle, subtly linking the showโs success to the studioโs storied history with ERโa reminder that legacy, when honored thoughtfully, can still feel fresh.
A Night of Nostalgia, Resistance, and Renewal
Beyond the trophies, the ceremony carried a reflective, almost wistful energy. Veteran actors like Stellan Skarsgรฅrd, Jean Smart, and Noah Wyle were celebrated for decades-long careers, while presenters like George Clooney and Julia Roberts evoked a longing for a less polarized Hollywood.
At the same time, newer voices broke through. Netflixโs animated phenomenon KPop Demon Hunters scored two wins, while international talentโincluding Wagner Moura and Jessie Buckleyโreinforced the Globesโ increasingly global identity.
Still, the narrative repeatedly circled back to Warner Bros.โand what it represents. In speeches and jokes alike, filmmakers and performers voiced skepticism about a future driven solely by algorithms and corporate consolidation. The message was clear: storytelling thrives when artists are trusted, theaters are valued, and cultureโnot convenienceโleads the way.
The Takeaway
The Golden Globes werenโt just about who wonโthey were about why it mattered. Teyana Taylorโs first-ever Golden Globe on her first nomination symbolized a long-overdue recognition of multidimensional talent. Sinners proved that bold, theatrical storytelling still moves the masses. And Warner Bros.โ sweeping night, set against a backdrop of uncertainty, reminded Hollywood of whatโs at stake.
For one evening at least, the industry chose to celebrate courage, creativity, and convictionโand that may have been the most meaningful win of all.
Today, ABC News Studios announced the new feature-length documentary, โBarbara Walters Tell Me Everything.โ It is produced by Brian Grazer and Ron Howardโs Imagine Documentaries. It will premiere Monday, June 23, on Hulu in the U.S. and later this year on Disney+ in select territories internationally after its world premiere at the 2025 Tribeca Festival. This documentary comes from the producing team behind the 2024 Emmyยฎ Award-winning Best Documentary, โJim Henson Idea Man.โ It is directed by Emmy-winning filmmaker and journalist Jackie Jesko. The film examines the broadcast legendโs pivotal role in the history of journalism. It also highlights her pioneering example for women in the industry.
Barbara Walters (Sept. 25, 1929-Dec. 30, 2022) didnโt just report the news โ she made news. She was a true American original and a trailblazer who broke ground for women in broadcasting. The documentary gives viewers an intimate and raw look at her astonishing career. It also explores her personal life. Additionally, it delves into the challenges she faced trying to balance it all as a woman in a male-dominated industry. Walters, in her own words, also reflects on the high price of fame and the legacy she hoped to inspire.
โABC News broke new ground by hiring Barbara. They put a woman at the anchor desk. This move broke the exclusive preserve of men,โ said David Sloan, senior executive producer, ABC News. โHer road was filled with peril and naysayers and navigating that was not without personal costs. Nevertheless, Barbara created a dazzling career that had no blueprint and changed broadcast journalism forever.โ
Sara Bernstein, president of Imagine Documentaries, said, โBarbara Walters was a true trailblazer. She changed the face of broadcast journalism. She set the gold standard. She completely transformed the cultureโs consumption of celebrity journalism. In the process, she inspired generations with her determination, brilliance and humanity. Itโs been a true privilege to collaborate with Jackie Jesko, Betsy West and the exceptional team at ABC News Studios. We canโt wait to shine a light on Barbaraโs iconic story with the Hulu audience.โ
โMy hope for the film is that audiences feel they get to know the real Barbara, in all her complexities. They will see her private struggles and her public triumphs,โ said Jesko. โBarbara stayed a television fixture for five decades, battling rampant sexism, fierce competition, and a constantly evolving media landscape. Today, celebrities and politicians often choose to speak out on their own social media platforms. They prefer this over subjecting themselves to a news interviewer. Barbaraโs story gives us the opportunity to explore the changing relationship between journalism, fame, and truth.โ
The film features unaired footage from ABCโs extensive archives. It includes interviews with people who knew and worked with the broadcast legend. Some of these people are Cindy Adams, Joy Behar, Connie Chung, Martin Clancy, and Andy Cohen. Others include Katie Couric, Peter Gethers, Lori Klein, and Cynthia McFadden. Bette Midler, Victor Neufeld, David Sloan, Katie Nelson Thomson, Chris Vlasto, and Oprah Winfrey are also among them.
โBarbara Walters Tell Me Everythingโ is produced by Imagine Documentaries for ABC News Studios. It is linked to Latchkey Films. Jesko directed it. For Imagine Documentaries, the film is produced by Marcella Steingart, Sara Bernstein, Justin Wilkes and Meredith Kaulfers. Brian Grazer, Ron Howard, Justin Wilkes and Betsy West serve as executive producers. Muriel Pearson is executive producer, and David Sloan is senior executive producer for ABC News Studios.
โNever allow doubt to stop your purpose. Use it to motivate it.โ -Cassandra Bell
In an entertainment world where female directors often face steep hurdles, Cassandra Bell has managed to rise above it all. These challenges range from limited funding opportunities and lack of representation to public scrutiny and controversy. She has not allowed industry politics or bias to derail her dreams. She has stayed focused on her purpose. She has sharpened her craft. She has consistently delivered projects that matter.
A proud Chicago native, Cassandra’s work is richly inspired by the culture and heartbeat of her community. Her academic journey through Columbia College and Roosevelt University was pivotal. She ultimately graduated with honors from Governor State University. This journey has shaped a filmmaker with both intellectual depth and creative brilliance. Bell is deeply committed to social justice. She has a gift for creating impactful visual narratives. She is intentional about uplifting underrepresented voicesโespecially women.
Her achievements speak volumes. Cassandra works as a Producer, Director, and Talent Scout for Gill Talent Group. She operates across major markets including Chicago, Atlanta, New York, and Los Angeles. She has proven her versatility and reach. She’s been invited to speak on several panels, both live and virtual. Her contributions have earned her the prestigious Presidential Lifetime Achievement Award under the Biden Administration. This award is a recognition reserved for leaders whose impact transcends their field.
Regardless if it’s Womenโs History Month and beyond, Cassandra Bell is a shining example of overcoming challenges. She persists and leads with purpose. She is not just telling storiesโsheโs rewriting the narrative for women and Black filmmakers everywhere.
Animal lovers, get ready for a documentary that will make you laugh, cry, and hug your furry (or feathered!) friends a little tighter. Disney+ has just revealed the official trailer and key art for Pets, a heartwarming documentary premiering April 11โfittingly on National Pet Day.
From Disney Branded Television and Imagine Documentaries, Pets is directed by Bryce Dallas Howard (The Mandalorian), who takes audiences on an uplifting journey into the extraordinary relationships between animals and their humans across the globe. Whether you’re a lifelong pet owner or just love a good animal story, this film promises moments of joy, tenderness, and pure, unfiltered love.
A Personal Passion Project for Bryce Dallas Howard
Following her acclaimed 2019 documentary Dads, Howard brings her signature warmth and curiosity to a subject close to her heartโour deep, often wordless connections with pets.
“Directing a documentary about the relationship between pets and their people has been a dream for years,” says Howard. “Thereโs something about these intuitive bonds, full of mischief and love, that feel like magic. And pet videos? They tap into such pure innocence and happiness, the kind of laughter that catches you off guard and reminds you why we love them so much.”
A Celebration of Love, Loss, and Licks
Pets goes beyond just cute moments (though expect plenty of those!). The documentary showcases a diverse range of storiesโfrom everyday pet parents to dedicated animal rescuersโspotlighting the deep, irreplaceable bonds they share with their dogs, cats, pigs, goats, and even birds of prey. Blending touching interviews, archival footage, viral pet videos, and unforgettable real-life moments, Pets is a tribute to the creatures who bring us endless love, comfort, and joy.

The Wayans Family Hall of Fame Inductees for the 56th NAACP Image Awards
The Wayans Dynasty: Comedy, Culture, and an Unstoppable Legacy
Few families have shaped comedy and entertainment quite like the Wayans. For decades, this powerhouse dynasty has revolutionized film, television, and stand-up, breaking barriers while delivering laughs that transcend generations. At the helm of this movement is Keenen Ivory Wayans, the creative mastermind behind In Living Color, a groundbreaking sketch comedy series that changed the industry forever.
When In Living Color hit the airwaves, it wasnโt just another comedy showโit was a cultural shift. Keenen gave the world an unapologetically diverse and fearless platform, launching the careers of Hollywood legends like Jim Carrey, Jamie Foxx, and Jennifer Lopez, alongside many Wayans family members. At a time when Black talent was often sidelined in mainstream comedy, Keenen took the reins as an actor, comedian, writer, director, and producer, proving that diverse storytelling wasnโt just necessaryโit was the future.
Beyond In Living Color, Keenen co-wrote and co-starred in Hollywood Shuffle with Robert Townsend, directed the game-changing parody Scary Movie, and gave us the cult classic Iโm Gonna Git You Sucka. His bold, satirical approach not only entertained audiences but also challenged Hollywoodโs outdated norms, paving the way for Black creators to thrive both critically and commercially.
The Wayans Family Empire
Keenen may have kicked down the door, but his siblings didnโt hesitate to follow. Damon Wayans Sr. became a comedy icon through Saturday Night Live, Major Payne, and My Wife and Kids, while younger brothers Shawn and Marlon Wayans co-created and starred in The Wayans Bros. and a string of hit films, including Scary Movie, White Chicks, Little Man, and Donโt Be a Menace to South Central While Drinking Your Juice in the Hood.
The Wayansโ signature blend of satire and slapstick comedy continued with Dance Flick, directed by Damien Dante Wayans, with Keenen, Shawn, Marlon, Craig, and Damien as writers and producers. Kim Wayans left her own mark as an actress, producer, and writer, while the next generationโincluding Damon Wayans Jr.โhas carried the torch with standout roles in Poppaโs House, Shrinking, Happy Endings, New Girl, and Letโs Be Cops.
Expanding Their Reach and Legacy
The Wayansโ influence isnโt just about comedyโitโs about evolution. Marlon Wayans has expanded his repertoire with dramatic roles in Respect and Air, along with his gripping performance as Lou in Bel-Air, which earned him a nomination for Outstanding Guest Performance at the 56th NAACP Image Awards. Meanwhile, Damon Sr. and Damon Jr. are making history as the first father-son duo nominated for their roles in Poppaโs House, with Damon Sr. up for Outstanding Actor in a Comedy Series and Damon Jr. for Outstanding Supporting Actor.
And the legacy continues.
Keenen, Marlon, and Shawn are now reviving one of their most successful franchisesโa Scary Movie reboot, set to hit theaters on June 12, 2026, introducing a new generation to their signature horror-comedy magic. Meanwhile, Marlon is on the road with his WILD CHILD Tour, leading up to his sixth stand-up special, and will next be seen starring in Jordan Peeleโs upcoming film, HIM (Monkeypaw Productions), premiering on September 19, 2025.
The Lasting Impact of the Wayans
From sketch comedy to box office hits, the Wayans family has not only entertained the world but redefined the industry on their own terms. Their commitment to fearless, diverse storytelling has paved the way for future generations of Black creators, proving that success in Hollywood isnโt just about talentโitโs about staying true to your vision.
Whether through laughter or thought-provoking performances, the Wayans dynasty isnโt slowing down anytime soon. Their story isnโt just one of successโitโs one of resilience, representation, and a lasting impact on comedy and culture.
And if history has taught us anything, itโs that with the Wayans, the best is always yet to come.

HALYNA HUTCHIN
FILM SET TO PREMIERE MARCH 11 ON HULU
Hulu announced today, โLast Take: Rust and the Story of Halyna,โ a new documentary filmย directed and produced byย Rachel Mason,ย fromย Story Syndicate,ย Anonymous Content and Concordia Studio. The documentary feature isย slated to premiere Tuesday, March 11 on Hulu.ย ย
In 2021, Alec Baldwinโs prop gun fired a live bullet on the set of the movie RUST, killing its cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins. Directed by Emmy Award-nominee Rachel Mason (โCircus of Books,โ โAn Update on Our Familyโ), โLast Take: Rust and the Story of Halynaโ takes viewers inside that tragic day and its aftermath, told first-hand by many of the people who lived it.ย ย
Quote from Rachel Mason (Director): โHalyna was dear to me for many reasons. Not only was she a friend, she was a collaborator. While she was alive, I could never have imagined making a film about her. My hope was to make films with her, and to support her in all the many films that she was sure to make. In the media frenzy which followed her death, it felt as if Halyna was erased, her loss eclipsed by the surrounding controversies. Our film aims to keep her at the center, while offering a portrait of the experience of those with whom she spent her final 12 days, which hopefully, through their efforts, offers the world a very much unfinished portrait of Halyna.”
Synopsis:On October 21, 2021, on the set of the movie RUST, a prop gun held by actor Alec Baldwin fired a live bullet, wounding the film’s director and killing its cinematographer, Halyna Hutchins. Within hours, the catastrophic accident was enveloped by a frenzy of media attention. For months, then years, as lawsuits flew and criminal trials unfolded, the tabloid spectacle around the case overshadowed a private, personal tragedy.
In โLast Take: Rust and the Story of Halyna,โ Halynaโs friend, director Rachel Mason, goes beyond the public narrative to reveal the untold human story of that terrible day and all that followed โ from the vantage point of the people at the center of the tragedy. The film weaves together the accounts of those who were on the set of RUST that day and of those, like Mason, who not only lost a cherished friend and colleague but who are still navigating the trauma of the aftermath.
Working with public court records, behind-the-scenes material from RUST, and unprecedented access to key individuals and materials, including Halyna’s personal archives, the film examines the official investigations into the safetyย protocolsย on set and exploresย the private moral reckoning of all involved. It probes for answers to the questions those closest to Halyna all carry. How could this have happened?ย And how do we possibly make sense of it?
Rigorously reported, emotionally raw, and deeply personal, the film seeks to redeem the core of the story that the media exploited โ that of a talented cinematographer whose life story was minimized, yet in death gave her colleagues an unexpected opportunity to heal from unimaginable loss by completing the film that mattered deeply to her.ย
Credits:ย โLast Take: Rust and the Story of Halynaโ is a Hulu Original produced by Julee Metz, Kate Barry, Jon Bardin, and Will Cohen for Story Syndicate, and Jessica Grimshaw, Nick Shumaker, and Jennifer Sears for Anonymous Content. Executive Producers include Story Syndicateโs Dan Cogan, Liz Garbus, and Tommy Coriale; Concordia Studioโs Lizzie Fox and Casey Meurer; Anonymous Contentโs David Levine; and Matthew Hutchins. The documentary was directed by and produced by Rachel Mason in association with FutureClown Productions.ย
The project joins Huluโs documentary slate, including โGod Forbid: The Sex Scandal That Brought Down a Dynasty,โ โVictoriaโs Secret: Angels and Demons,โ โStolen Youth: The Cult at Sarah Lawrence,โ โFreaknik: The Wildest Party Never Told,โ โThe Perfect Wife: The Mysterious Disappearance of Sherri Papini,โ and upcoming docuseries โDevil in the Family: The Fall of Ruby Franke,โ premiering February 27.ย
Yung Joc and the Streetz Morning Takeover appeared at the South DeKalb Mall parking lot. Shawty Shawty and Mz Shyneka (not shown in gallery) joined them. Netflix’s ‘All American’ lead actor Peyton Alex Smith was happy to volunteer. He greeted residents and handed out free Shady Brook Farms turkeys, potatoes, greens, and PRIME energy drinks. They also provided all the fixings to make an amazing Thanksgiving Day dinner.
There was a long line of residents ready to greet a long line of volunteers. There were several different organizations that showed up for the host Larry Johnson and the Women of the NAACP Atlanta. Nicole Ford of District 3 was out in the cold with her supporters.
The girls representing Prime had free merchandise. The organization Hug Life cares, and members of the Divine 9 also participated and made their presence felt. The @mystreetz945atl team left the South DeKalb Mall. They met up with Streetz 94.5 radio hosts J Smoke and ETCali at the Walmart on Old National Hwy. They wanted to keep the spirit of “1 free turkey per family” alive.
Many seniors and neighborhood residents showed up. They also had the opportunity to sign up for a medical CBD card. Additionally, they received more free treats. There was a gaming truck available. It was a reward for the kids who waited patiently in line with their parents and grandmas.
The Nagel Law Firm was representing at the Walmart on Old National Hwy. Dr Maria of Noble Chiropractic in Norcross, offered amazing free 5 minute massage sessions. ETCali was leading the pack as far as fan recognition. Many people wanted to pose in a photo with him. They thanked him for cheering them up in traffic from 2-6pm daily.
Thanks to the Team Captain Solo. He ran a tight ship in the parking lot. He directed the drivers, kept the order, and stayed on time from start to end. Everything was very well organized. What an amazing Saturday for the Community. Giving Back is definitely the love language at Streetz 94.5 as a radio family.
