10 21st-Century Oscar Wins That Keep Getting Better
The nominations have been announced, and the stage is almost set for the 98th Academy Awards, which takes place at the Los Angeles Dolby Theatre on March 15. Paul Thomas Anderson’s politically poignant One Battle After Another, Ryan Coogler’s acclaimed vampire flick Sinners, and the quietly stunning Danish-Norwegian drama Sentimental Value lead the way as favorites, although, as the recent BAFTAs have proven, anything can happen on awards night.
Of course, taking home a gold statue is certain to cement someone’s legacy in the annals of cinema history. However, as years pass, the respect and reputation of any given win can fluctuate, with many now being considered to have aged like milk. Instead of focusing on those negatives, here’s a look at ten 21st-century Oscar wins that keep getting better with age, proving the Academy very often gets it really right.

Peter Jackson – Best Director for ‘The Lord of the Rings: The Return of the King’ (2003)
Nominated, but not winning, for The Fellowship of the Ring, and being entirely snubbed for The Two Towers, director Peter Jackson went into the 76th Academy Awards in 2004 as the overwhelming favorite to take home the Best Director prize, with many seeing a triumph as collective adulation for the trilogy as a whole.
As one of Return of the King‘s record-tying 11 Academy Awards that night, Jackson’s victory for Best Director was arguably the most deserved, the long-overdue recognition for one of modern cinema’s most impressive visionaries. Over 20 years on, as shown by the trilogy’s recent hugely successful box office re-release, love for the Lord of the Rings franchise hasn’t faltered, making Jackson’s win all the sweeter.

Christoph Waltz – Best Supporting Actor for ‘Inglourious Basterds’ (2009)
Twice Christoph Waltz has been nominated for Best Supporting Actor at the Academy Awards, and twice he has won. His first victory, three years before triumphing for Django Unchained, came at the 82nd Academy Awards in 2010, as he swept aside the competition to take home a golden statue for his intelligently deceptive portrayal of S.S. Colonel Hans Landa in Quentin Tarantino‘s revisionist WWII epic, Inglourious Basterds.
Oozing with charisma and frighteningly evil, Hans Landa is one of Tarantino’s best creations. As time has passed, it has become evermore clear that no one could’ve nailed this duplicitous and challenging role quite like Waltz. The Austrian actor’s methodical approach to the art of acting is able to squeeze every last ounce of menace out of an already wicked character.

‘Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind’ (2004) – Best Original Screenplay
In the past 27 years of cinema, there’s perhaps no better screenwriter than Charlie Kaufman. Despite being involved in some of the most intriguing philosophical movie musings in modern memory, the genius behind the likes of Being Jon Malkovich and his directorial debut, Synecdoche, New York, has only ever won one Academy Award.
For his simply stunning screenplay for Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind, Kaufman carved a story that was ahead of its time. The film itself has become iconic, a defining piece of 21st-century romance that has inspired waves of creatives and become a masterpiece in the eyes of audiences. It is because of this that the Academy’s choice to declare it as the best in class at the 77th Oscars in 2004 is so impressive, and it has aged like a fine wine.
7
J. K. Simmons – Best Supporting Actor for ‘Whiplash’ (2014)
Few actors could turn a bitter jazz instructor into one of the scariest villains in modern movie history. That’s exactly what J.K. Simmons did with Terence Fletcher in Damien Chazelle‘s pulse-pumping masterpiece Whiplash, as he goes head-to-head with budding young drumming prodigy Andrew Neiman (Miles Teller).
Against a stacked 2015 line-up, Whiplash entered the 87th Academy Awards unsure of victory in any category. However, if anyone deserved a golden statue, it was Simmons, with this most likely his career-best work. A decade on, and no Supporting Actor winner can really come close to this stunning performance from Simmons, and thankfully, the Academy recognized it.
6
‘Spirited Away’ (2001) – Best Animated Feature
The success of an anime at the Academy Awards might not look so surprising today, especially in light of The Boy and the Heron‘s 2024 win, but back in 2003, it was unheard of. Against tough competition in the form of Treasure Planet, Spirit: Stallion of the Cimarron, Ice Age, and Lilo & Stitch, Spirited Away left the 75th Academy Awards as the surprise winner of the Best Animated Feature prize.
Today, anime has boomed from a niche interest to a global phenomenon, and, through that simple fact, this win for Spirited Away back in 2003 is truly one of the best the Academy has ever awarded. It goes without saying that Hayao Miyazaki’s modern fairytale masterpiece is worthy of this Oscar and many other accolades.
5
Charlize Theron – Best Actress for ‘Monster’ (2003)
Of all the 21st century Best Actress victories, none have proven as enduring as Charlize Theron‘s in Patty Jenkins’ 2003 crime drama Monster. Completely unrecognizable as serial killer Aileen Wuornos, Theron’s performance is the epitome of an actor losing themselves to a role, with people still shocked to this day to learn that it is the Bombshell star behind the dental prosthetics.
The best performance in a career stacked with great turns, Theron’s work is simply spectacular. The Academy’s choice to award Theron the victory might’ve been unsurprising given the star’s victories at the Golden Globes, SAG Awards, and Critics’ Choice Awards, but let that take nothing away from how well this has aged. If Roger Ebert calls it “one of the greatest performances in the history of the cinema,” who are we to argue?
4
Bong Joon-ho – Best Director for ‘Parasite’ (2019)
There are few superlatives left to attribute to Parasite. Ever since the genius South Korean thriller debuted in 2019, it has been praised to the highest degree by anyone with even the slightest interest in film. Despite all that acclaim, director Bong Joon-ho‘s win for Best Director in 2020 is an easy choice for this list.
Although Alfonso Cuarón won Best Director for the Spanish-language film Roma in 2019, Joon-ho’s win a year later will forever be heralded for ushering a new Academy appreciation for non-English language filmmaking. There is plenty more to be said about the movie itself, although that should be saved for later in the list.
3
‘Moonlight’ (2016) – Best Picture
For a few moments on February 26, 2017, the winner of the Best Picture Oscar was the colorful, romantic musical La La Land. Thankfully, although La La Land is an excellent movie, the mistake made by Warren Beatty and Faye Dunaway was quickly rectified, Barry Jenkins‘ Moonlight was announced the winner, and the rest is history.
One of the best coming-of-age drama tales of all time, Moonlight won three of its eight Oscar nominations, with Mahershala Ali‘s Best Supporting Actor triumph almost worthy of a place in this list. However, given the film’s minuscule budget of just $4 million and the impressive success of small-budget indie flicks since, it is fair to say that today’s film landscape would look considerably different without Moonlight‘s Best Picture win.
2
Daniel Day-Lewis – Best Actor for ‘There Will Be Blood’ (2007)
Daniel Day-Lewis is undeniably one of the greatest actors of all time, and his Best Actor win for There Will Be Blood is the best of his three Academy Award victories. As the misanthropic oil baron Daniel Plainview, Day-Lewis combines with the genius of Paul Thomas Anderson to craft one of modern cinema’s greatest performances.
Many actors go to extreme, seemingly performative lengths to prove their ability. Day-Lewis’s two-year isolation in Ireland to prepare for this role is one of the only times such radical methods paid off. Earning a plethora of best actor nominations from various award boards for this performance, There Will Be Blood is Day-Lewis’s magnum opus, and his Best Actor win is one of the best decisions the Academy has ever made.
1
‘Parasite’ (2019) — Best Picture
As the first non-English language film to win Best Picture, Parasite‘s win at the 2020 ceremony marked a huge shift in the Academy. Today, the likes of The Secret Agent and I’m Still Here are easy considerations for Best Picture nominations, and the Academy itself now boasts a much more international blend of members.
Whether you believe it is one of the greatest movies of all time or not, the film undeniably changed Western attitudes to international filmmaking for the better. Reported to be the most-logged movie on Letterboxd, Parasite‘s popularity continues to grow thanks to the increase in attention to non-English language films — a movement the movie itself helped propel forward.

20 Years Later, This 9.8-Rated IMDb Episode Confirms This Sitcom is One of The Greatest of All Time
After twenty years, there are still episodes of Scrubs that hurt to remember, and “My Lunch,” Season 5, Episode 20, is at the top of the list. Originally airing on April 25, 2006, its transplant storyline looks set to be a Sacred Heart success, but by the end of the episode, the story has broken both characters and viewers alike.
“My Lunch” looks set to revisit patient Jill Tracy (Nicole Sullivan) after J.D. (Zach Braff) and Dr. Perry Cox (John C. McGinley) bump into her at the supermarket, but it evolves into a catastrophic medical tragedy that permanently alters Cox and momentarily reverses the central mentor-mentee dynamic between him and J.D. It’s an episode packed with drama, heart, and humor in equal measure, and aside from “My Finale: Part 2,” it stands as the highest-rated episode of the series on IMDb. If you’re going to revisit any episode ahead of the Scrubs revival, let it be “My Lunch.”
J.D. and Dr. Cox Realize Jill’s Tragic Circumstances Too Late in “My Lunch”
The unexpected center of “My Lunch” is Jill Tracy, who has been a recurring patient since her first appearance in “My Nickname” in Season 1. Over the years, she popped up in six episodes across five seasons, recognizable for her rapid speech, chaotic love life, and almost painful lack of social awareness. She was the memorable comic relief, but her life was tinged with loneliness. Jill was the kind of patient who lingered too long in conversations and overshared too much information, especially with Elliot (Sarah Chalke).
In “My Lunch,” she unexpectedly collides with J.D. and Cox at the supermarket during their break. She has been stood up for a date and returns two days in a row, hoping the man might finally appear. J.D. also returns to buy lunch again and tries his best to ignore her, but it becomes clear that she has no one else to call, nowhere else to be. J.D. contorts himself to avoid her, and Dr. Cox zooms, cartoon-style, back to the hospital to escape. On the second day, J.D. agrees to sit with her for lunch, but his effort is dutiful as a doctor rather than with genuine interest. The comedy in these scenes is classic Scrubs, awkward and absurd, which is exactly what makes the episode’s later turn hit so hard.
The brilliance of “My Lunch” lies in how it aligns the audience with J.D.’s discomfort. Jill is presented as exhausting. Meanwhile, a far more urgent storyline is unfolding at Sacred Heart. Three critically ill patients are awaiting organ transplants under Dr. Cox’s supervision. The episode makes us root for a patient to die to provide the three organs needed for the central transplant patients. However, it turns into a gut-punch when J.D. realizes it is Jill who was admitted to the hospital unconscious after an apparent drug overdose. Hours earlier, J.D. and Cox were complaining about her, and now she appears to have killed herself. J.D. is devastated, not only because she is dying, but because he realizes she was clearly a person in need of connection, and he chose his own convenience over kindness.
Dr. Cox responds in a way we have come to expect. Whenever J.D. is having an emotional moment, Perry steps up and makes it a hard but important lesson. He takes J.D. to lunch and explains that he cannot carry every tragedy. Jill did not come to the hospital seeking help. Doctors cannot assume responsibility for every lonely soul they encounter outside their walls. It is a lesson in compartmentalization, and we can see how Cox has used that as his own survival mechanism. When Jill is declared brain-dead, her organs are found to be viable matches for the three transplant patients. In an episode that seems steeped in loss, this feels like a redemptive moment for J.D. and Dr. Cox.
“My Lunch’s” Third Act Turns Everything We Know About ‘Scrubs’ on Its Head
In the final third of “My Lunch,” it is revealed that Jill did not die from an overdose as assumed. She died of rabies. Rabies is extraordinarily rare, and testing for it under the time constraints the doctors faced would have been impractical, as three patients were waiting for organs. Sadly, by the time the truth is discovered, the transplanted organs have already infected the three recipients. Despite every effort, the first two patients die, and Dr. Cox retreats to the break room, visibly upset. For five seasons, he has been the unshakable force of Sacred Heart, abrasive and ranting, but a brilliant doctor. Watching him sit in stunned silence is unsettling, and J.D., who hours earlier was drowning in guilt over Jill, now finds himself in the unfamiliar position of offering perspective to his mentor. J.D. tells Cox that the patients were critically ill, and they would have died within hours without the transplants. He admits that he would have made the same decision.
As they sit down to eat lunch again, Dr. Cox is paged. The third transplant patient, the one he was closest to, has crashed. Cox’s resuscitation efforts fail, and that patient dies as well. He is visibly angry and confesses that the third patient was not in immediate critical need, and the transplant could have waited another month. The first two deaths were tragic but a gamble he had to make, but the third feels like it was his fault. Earlier in the episode, Dr. Cox told J.D. that once you blame yourself, there is no coming back from it, so “newbie” reminds him of this. Cox agrees and walks out before his shift is over.
Dr. Perry Cox, the series’ most unshakable character, suffers a genuine emotional collapse in “My Lunch.” In subsequent episodes, Carla (Judy Reyes), Jordan (Christa Miller), and the rest of the Sacred Heart staff attempt to coax him back to work as he isolates at home, drinking beer. The emotional power of “My Lunch” endures, making it that much stronger of an episode. With the revival on the horizon, there is no better episode to revisit. The episode is a clear reminder that Scrubs was never just about silly cutaways but real human drama.

Prince William was reportedly ready to take down the press after topless photos of Kate Middleton were secretly taken and published during a 2012 vacation in France.
According to a new book, the incident highlighted his long-standing frustration with intrusive media coverage shaped by his mother Princess Diana‘s experience.
At the time, Prince William was said to have been visibly upset with the incident and reached out to his father and grandmother to alert them of his plans fight the press.

Prince William Was ‘Ready To Go To War’ With The Press
William was reportedly “ready to go to war with the press” after private photos of Kate sunbathing topless in the South of France were secretly taken and published.
The revelation comes from Russell Myers, author of “William and Catherine,” which explores how the couple has navigated challenges within the royal family.
The incident reportedly occurred in 2012, a year after William and Kate’s wedding, during a brief getaway to the Château d’Autet in Provence.
While sunbathing at the 19th-century lodge, a paparazzo captured images of Kate without her knowledge. Soon after, the French magazine Closer published the photos, shocking the couple and prompting a swift response.

According to Myers, William, horrified by “the utter violation,” immediately contacted his father, then-Prince Charles, and grandmother, Queen Elizabeth II, signaling his intent to pursue legal action.
“Years before, William had gone against the grain when he warned the Fleet Street photographers that he would not tolerate a life of intrusion,” Myers explained, per Fox News Digital, noting William’s long-standing frustration with invasive media coverage, shaped by witnessing the relentless press scrutiny of his mother, Princess Diana.

The Future King Took A Firm Stand Against Paparazzi To Protect Kate’s Privacy
The publication of the photos reportedly pushed William to adopt a firm stance against intrusive press behavior.
He instructed lawyers to seek the maximum legal damages, which were ultimately directed to charity.
While Kate remained composed in public, Palace insiders described William as visibly upset, demanding to be updated on every step of the legal proceedings.
The couple faced continued exposure, with other outlets like the Italian magazine Chi and the Irish edition of the Daily Star later publishing the images.
According to Myers, “palace staff reacted furiously, suggesting the clock had been turned back 15 years to the dark days of Princess Diana being hounded to her death by the paparazzi,” calling the coverage “grotesque and unjustifiable.”

Prince William And Kate Were Awarded $117K In Damages Over The Photo Incident
Despite the palace’s lawsuit, Closer refused to budge, as they insisted the topless images they published were harmless and showed William and Kate in their normal life during their vacation.
“The photographs we have selected are by no means degrading,” the magazine said at the time, per The Standard. “They show a beautiful, in love, modern holidaying young couple in their normal life. The article reports on the couple’s recent stay in the South of France.”
A French court, in 2017, ultimately awarded William and Kate €100,000 [$117,892.55] in damages due to the publishing of the photos. This was a far cry from the €1.5 million [$1.7 million] the royal couple had sued for. The court also fined two staffers a combined €90,000 [$106,077.60].

The ruling is said to have “pleased” Kensington Palace and sent a clear message: William would always defend Kate’s privacy.
“[At the beginning of the relationship], she felt, ‘If I’m going to put myself forward for something like this, then I not only need the support of William, but also the support of the institution,’” the royal author, Myers, told Fox News Digital. “And as I tell in the book, William was absolutely integral to that, to say to her, ‘I will support you,’ and to have the mechanism of the palace supporting her as well.
Myers also highlighted that the strong institutional support Kate received early on set her apart from her brother-in-law, Prince Harry’s wife, Meghan Markle, who did not benefit from the same level of guidance and protection.
Prince William And Kate Middleton Show Concern For King Charles’ Health Amid Andrew Crisis
Today, William and Kate are parents of three children and continue to support King Charles III, navigating public duties while protecting their family life.
Sources tell Fox News Digital that the couple is particularly concerned about the king’s health following the arrest of former Prince Andrew, fearing the added stress could affect him.
Royal expert Richard Fitzwilliams said William and Catherine are “extremely concerned about the way the crisis over Andrew Mountbatten Windsor is developing and the effect this is having on the King’s health,” noting that Charles is already facing serious health challenges.
On Sunday night at the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTAs), the couple’s first public outing since Andrew’s arrest, William admitted he was not in a calm frame of mind.

When asked about watching the historical drama “Hamnet,” he said he “needed to be in quite a calm state” and would postpone viewing, reflecting the stress he is under as both a royal and BAFTA president.
Prince William And Kate’s Conduct Is Key To The Monarchy’s Future Amid Andrew Crisis, Experts Say
Royals expert Ian Pelham Turner described William’s comment as “indicative” of the intense pressure the family is under.
He explained that the monarchy is navigating an “unprecedented crisis,” balancing “public duties whilst fighting a rearguard action over the Andrew allegations and trying to distance themselves from what Andrew has allegedly done to bring the Firm into disrepute.”
He added that the family is effectively “walking on eggshells,” aware that new allegations could emerge at any moment.
Hilary Fordwich added that declining public opinion of the monarchy is contributing to William’s stress. She noted that William and Kate’s exemplary conduct and moral integrity have been crucial in sustaining the monarchy’s credibility.

“Prince William and Princess Catherine have remained not only out of any scandal, but their conduct, sense of duty, and moral standards are impeccable. Just what will save the monarchy?” she said.
Black Mirror is arguably one of Netflix’s biggest hits, both in the realm of science fiction shows and the streamer’s slate of original programming. Most of its episodes, which tackle everything from the pitfalls of artificial intelligence to how social media is becoming entwined with our lives, have received critical praise and even awards nominations. Series creator Charlie Brooker recently confirmed that Black Mirror will be returning for Season 8, meaning that sci-fi fans will be in for more chilling tales about technology. Long before it was a mainstay in Netflix queues, Black Mirror started out life on cable television — specifically, Channel 4.
Brooker launched Black Mirror after working on comedy-based shows for other British channels, and decided to take his talents in the opposite direction with an anthology drama series. He cites The Twilight Zone as his biggest influence, specifically how Rod Serling would use science fiction and fantasy as a metaphor for real-life issues:
“In Serling’s day, the atom bomb, civil rights, McCarthyism, psychiatry and the space race were of primary concern. Today he’d be writing about terrorism, the economy, the media, privacy and our relationship with technology…That’s what we’re aiming for with Black Mirror: each episode has a different cast, a different setting, even a different reality. But they’re all about the way we live now – and the way we might be living in 10 minutes’ time if we’re clumsy.”
While Black Mirror is primarily a sci-fi series, it still keeps the wicked streak of black humor that permeates Brooker’s earlier work. Case in point: the premiere episode, “The National Anthem”, has a member of the Royal Family kidnapped and the only way for her to be freed is if the Prime Minister commits a lewd act with a pig. It was both a sign that Black Mirror was going to be unlike anything on TV, and foreshadowed why it moved to Netflix.
Budget Issues Led to Netflix Picking Up ‘Black Mirror’
Black Mirror was able to score two seasons on Channel 4, and received equal parts praise and complaints, due to the aforementioned season premiere. It was even one of the most complained-about shows of 2011, which is an honor that’s rather fitting for the series. Yet Charlie Brooker and his producing partner Annabel Jones were told by Channel 4 that Black Mirror was facing budget restraints, and needed a co-producer to continue. This led to a bidding war involving different cable networks, including HBO and AMC, yet Netflix won out at the last minute.
The Netflix deal included a bigger budget and a bigger range of guest stars for Black Mirror. It also led to some of the show’s most iconic episodes, particularly Season 3’s “San Junipero” and Season 4’s “U.S.S. Callister“. Moving to Netflix also gave Brooker the freedom to push the series’ boundaries, including basing each season around a different theme and even releasing an interactive film with Bandersnatch. Such attempts wouldn’t have been possible on Channel 4, but Brooker was determined to make the most of his deal with Netflix, and it paid off in waves.
I Don’t Care If You Hate Sci-Fi, This Dystopian Netflix Series Will Change Your Mind
It’ll make you question everything.
‘Black Mirror’ Was One of Netflix’s Biggest Success Stories
Black Mirror‘s biggest claim to fame is that it arguably helped cement Netflix, and the idea of streaming, as a major force in the entertainment world when its third season premiered in 2016. Not only did 2016 mark the debut of fellow sci-fi hit Stranger Things, but it was also when the streamer became available worldwide — allowing a larger audience to see more of its original programming and the films it had acquired. This meant that Black Mirror had the kind of reach that wouldn’t have been available on Channel 4, allowing it to transcend from a cult hit to a smash hit nearly overnight.
While people will no doubt be tuning into Black Mirror Season 8, a decade has once again changed how people watch television. Streaming services are getting more expensive, and cable is having a tough time as more people are deciding to cut the cord. It’s highly unlikely that Charlie Brooker could have made the same deal for Black Mirror now that he did then, but the series more than likely will keep its sharp edge when it returns for Season 8.

Former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez was allegedly under the influence of cocaine, fentanyl, marijuana and alcohol during an alleged confrontation with a truck driver last October, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly.
Attorneys for Perry Tole, 69, cite a “preliminary investigation” that revealed Sanchez, 39, had taken “multiple illegal substances.”
“[This is] including but not limited to cocaine, marijuana, fentanyl, and alcohol,” the filing reads. “Plaintiff has cause to believe that one or more of these substances may have been consumed in one of Huse’s establishments, which caused or contributed to Sanchez’s impairment and his subsequent negligent and/or knowing conduct.”
Sanchez and Tole were both hospitalized after the incident with Sanchez sustaining multiple stab wounds.
Former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez was not in attendance at a pretrial hearing as he prepares to face charges in relation to a violent incident in Indianapolis earlier this month. “Thank you for allowing our client to be excused from today’s hearing,” Sanchez’s attorney Tim Delaney said inside a Marion County, Indiana, courtroom on Wednesday, […]
The filing did not include direct evidence that Sanchez knowingly and purposefully ingested the illegal substances, but called for an additional investigation. Sanchez’s attorney, Andrew M. McNeil, denied the allegations in a statement to Us.
“These are allegations in a civil filing, nothing more, and they should be treated accordingly,” the statement read. “Allegations are not evidence. The truth will be determined by facts and evidence presented at trial, and we look forward to presenting them at the appropriate time.”
The incident occurred in Indianapolis, Indiana, while Sanchez was in town to cover the Colts’ game against the Las Vegas Raiders the following day for Fox Sports. He is accused of accosting Tole, a truck driver, who was backing his vehicle into a hotel’s loading dock. Sanchez allegedly entered the truck without permission, preventing Tole from exiting. He is then accused of shoving Tole, who allegedly sprayed the former quarterback with pepper spray before he pulled a knife to defend himself.
Sanchez was booked in an Indianapolis jail and charged with three misdemeanors: battery resulting in injury, public intoxication and unlawful entry of a motor vehicle. Prosecutors added a felony 5 charge days later, which carries a penalty of one to five years in prison. He has pleaded not guilty to all charges.
Former NFL quarterback Mark Sanchez has pleaded not guilty after being charged for his alleged role in a violent attack in downtown Indianapolis. Sanchez, 38, waived his right to a preliminary hearing on Tuesday, October 7, according to court documents obtained by Us Weekly. He pleaded not guilty to all charges, according to The Athletic. […]
Fox Sports fired Sanchez in November amid the fallout from his arrest.
“We can confirm that Mark Sanchez is no longer with the network,” a Fox Sports spokesperson told Us at the time. “There will be no further comment at this time.”
Sanchez himself released a statement to Us through his brother, Nick Sanchez Jr., addressing his departure.
“It’s been a long month for Mark as he continues to recover from serious injuries while also grieving the loss of a close friend,” Nick wrote. “While the recent news — and its timing — is understandably disappointing, our priority remains his continued healing and recovery. Mark deeply values his time at Fox and the exceptional colleagues he’s had the privilege to work with. Those relationships are meaningful and will endure.”
Sanchez’s trial, which was originally slated for March 2026, will now begin April 9. The delay was the result of Sanchez’s lawyers, which requested a continuance of the case. Further delays are still possible, according to NBC Sports.

‘In the Blink of an Eye’ (2026)
Pixar’s Andrew Stanton, who directed classics like Finding Nemo and WALL-E, makes his second attempt at live-action with In the Blink of an Eye, an ambitious sci-fi that opens with the beginning of the universe and life as we know it. From there, it slows down quite a bit to focus on three different storylines. In the first, viewers are introduced to a Neanderthal family, Thorn (Jorge Vargas) and Hera (Tanaya Beatty), as well as their daughter, Lark (Skywalker Hughes), and an infant child.
During the present-day sequences, anthropologist Claire (Rashida Jones) discovers bones that might belong to a member of the Neanderthal family while juggling relationship issues and a deep-seated sadness about the pending death of a loved one. And in the future, a woman named Coakley (Kate McKinnon) is charged with escorting embryos to humanity’s new home. How do these three tales link to one another thematically and otherwise? You’ll have to watch the movie to find out.
In the Blink of an Eye is streaming on Hulu.
‘Scrubs’ (2026)
Life comes at you fast in the new Scrubs revival. Fifteen years after leaving Sacred Heart Hospital, Dr. John “J.D.” Dorian (Zach Braff) is no longer married to the love of his life, Dr. Elliot Reid (Sarah Chalke). J.D. has built his own life and charted his own career in medicine, which has now unexpectedly brought him back to Sacred Heart as the new Chief of Medicine and his ex-wife’s boss.
Most of the original Scrubs cast is reprising their roles for the highly anticipated revival — but who else is new to the show? Scrubs, which originally aired from 2001 to 2010, followed the lives of employees at the fictional Sacred Heart Hospital. The hit series starred Zach Braff, Sarah Chalke, Donald Faison, Judy Reyes, […]
J.D. is delighted to be reunited with his best friend, Dr. Chris Turk (Donald Faison), and a lot of familiar faces from the first series. But now, J.D. has to navigate trickier subjects that won’t always make him popular among his staff. At the same time, J.D. and the other veterans have to train a new generation of doctors and nurses at Sacred Heart, most of whom may clash with their perspectives on just about everything.
Scrubs is streaming on Hulu.
‘Toy Story’ (1995)
Computer animation has come a long way in the last three decades, but Toy Story was revolutionary when it hit theaters in 1995. Pixar delivered the first-ever feature-length 3D animated film, and it’s an all-time classic. Tom Hanks lends his voice to Woody, a cowboy doll who is comfortably assured of his place as the favorite toy of a young boy named Andy Davis (John Morris).
Any feeling of security goes out the window when Andy is gifted a new toy, Buzz Lightyear (Tim Allen), a Space Ranger who has no idea that he’s an action figure. Suddenly, Woody is shuffled to the side while Buzz becomes Andy’s new favorite. To reclaim his place in the toy hierarchy, Woody takes some drastic actions that may keep him and Buzz from ever seeing their friends again. If they want to make it back to Andy, Woody and Buzz will have to work together.
Toy Story is streaming on Hulu.

10 Classic Rock Albums To Listen to If You Love Fleetwood Mac’s Greatest Album of All Time
You might not usually like listening to music that’s many decades old, but even if that’s the case, there’s a not bad chance you make an exception for Fleetwood Mac. If not, that’s okay, but that guess/assumption is made because Fleetwood Mac feels particularly approachable for a pop/rock band of their era (when they were at their peak, in other words), and some of the band’s music is pretty close to timeless. In fact, they’ve got an entire album – 1977’s Rumours – that really does feel timeless from start to finish.
It’s boring to call it the band’s best album, but it is, though that’s not a suggestion that other memorable releases of Fleetwood Mac’s were bad or anything. There’s one other album of theirs included below, plus some other albums that might scratch the same itch. They’re broadly definable as rock, but often a mellower sort of rock, in line with the pop/soft rock sound of Rumours. So, if you want Led Zeppelin or Metallica or something harder, maybe look elsewhere.
10
‘Aja’ (1977)
Steely Dan
Steely Dan is a strange band, much of that coming about because they epitomize a genre that is genuinely called “yacht rock,” and because they’re literally called Steely Dan. Who calls a band Steely Dan? It turns out, there is a reason, or a source of that name, but if you go digging trying to find out, you might regret it. It’s a possible case of “the less you know, the better.”
Aja is being included here because it is a mellow sort of rock that you kind of just put on and zone out to.
Of all the Steely Dan albums, Aja tends to get brought up as their best, or maybe the album of theirs most worthy of classic status. It’s being included here because it is a mellow sort of rock that you kind of just put on and zone out to. So, the lyrics here don’t tend to be as affecting as what you might find on those hard-hitting Fleetwood Mac songs, nor some of the other albums mentioned here, yet the energy/vibe is kind of similar, and Aja was also released the same year as Rumours, so…
9
‘The Nightfly’ (1982)
Donald Fagen
Hopefully not too much of a hot take, but Donald Fagen’s solo album, The Nightfly, might be better than any of the other albums he did as part of Steely Dan. There’s even more of a lean toward pop here, over rock (rock of the yacht variety or otherwise), and it’s all almost a bit too smooth. Yet The Nightfly makes it work, or maybe it’s just that the shortcomings are easier to overlook when you’ve got a song as great as “I.G.Y.” kicking the whole thing off.
Lyrically, this one’s got quite a bit going for it, with the unusual and bittersweet way it looks toward the future, but from the past, and then you listen to it now, and it still sounds kind of futuristic lyrically, yet you put it in the past even more because it just sounds so ‘80s. Anyway, the rest of the album’s also very good. It shouldn’t be overlooked, just because it’s a Donald Fagen solo album rather than a proper/full-on Steely Dan one.
8
‘Tusk’ (1979)
Fleetwood Mac
Two years on from Rumours, Fleetwood Mac kept the momentum going to some extent, with Tusk, as there are songs here that are appealing in similar ways to many of the songs from Rumours, though it’s also a bit rougher and more intense at other times. It’s a double album, running for nearly 74 minutes, and with 20 tracks all up, so there are, pretty much literally, twice as many opportunities to play around and experiment a bit.
Tusk doesn’t experiment to the same extent as, say, the self-titled Beatles album that was also famously a double album, but nothing else in popular music history really does, so you can’t hold that against Tusk. Maybe Tusk is more comparable to the eclectic and ambitious London Calling, by The Clash, which is a great punk/rock album here, but harder to recommend when you’re specifically talking about Rumours-esque albums. For obvious reasons, Tusk is, on the other hand, not difficult to include here.
7
‘Graceland’ (1986)
Paul Simon
Very mellow as a rock album, and probably more pop, all the while also having other influences from a wide variety of genres, here’s Graceland, which could well be the best album Paul Simon was involved with (and that does include those he did while part of the duo Simon & Garfunkel). It’s musically creative and then lyrically, Graceland also tackles a whole bunch of topics, with some songs being socially conscious, and others being a little more introspective.
It feels like a product of its time, just not really in a bad way. Like, the quality of the songwriting and most of the production holds up; you can just tell, in some ways, it’s an album that’s now about four decades old (and counting). But then again, the thing still sounds great and largely delivers, so complaining about Graceland feels a little like nitpicking, in the end.
6
‘Tapestry’ (1971)
Carole King
The softness of the rock here is so soft it might well be a marshmallow, yet it’s still a classic and probably the kind of thing most people who like Fleetwood Mac would also like, so here’s Tapestry, by Carole King. It leans more toward the singer-songwriter side of things, with soft rock being a secondary genre, and it is quite mellow and gentle in sound, while having introspective and sometimes bittersweet lyrics that aren’t afraid to get emotional.
It was a classic of its time, and the sort of thing everyone over a certain age surely knows about, since it was monumentally popular in terms of sales and critical acclaim, yet King’s not always talked about as much in some modern-day online circles as much as Joni Mitchell (Blue could’ve gone here, yet describing that as being even rock-adjacent feels like more of a stretch than putting Tapestry in this spot).
5
‘After the Gold Rush’ (1970)
Neil Young
It was difficult here, as with Neil Young, After the Gold Rush does not feel as rock-focused as some of his other classic albums (like the kinda-sorta live album that is Rust Never Sleeps), though there is still some rock here. It’s folk rock, and occasionally harder rock, and often downbeat. Still counts, though. And it is indeed a gentle album and an oftentimes moving one as well.
Further, After the Gold Rush is an amazing album. It was originally at the top of this ranking, but then it was a bit like, “Wait, why put an album that good not near the end of the ranking, if it’s a ranking?” And “top” here means the bottom. Like, the bottom as in #10. And the top of the ranking is at the bottom of the page. #1 is the top of the ranking but at the bottom of the page. Confused? Just listen to After the Gold Rush, it’ll make everything feel okay again.
4
‘Hats’ (1989)
The Blue Nile
It’s hard to know what to say about Hats by The Blue Nile beyond being all, “Damn, this thing was really ahead of its time and stuff,” which isn’t very meaningful commentary, but it doesn’t make it wrong. It’s ahead of its time in some ways while also feeling very in line with certain traits associated with music in the 1980s, just in a unique way and with a certain atmosphere that sets it apart from its contemporaries.
The music here belongs to a genre called “sophisti-pop,” and that might make it far removed from rock, and even soft rock, yet it’s too emotionally stirring to not include here. Rumours is heartfelt and an emotional roller-coaster, and so is Hats. Further, Fleetwood Mac kind of dipped their toes into the sophisti-pop genre in at least a few songs on their 1987 album, Tango in the Night, so maybe that counts for something.
3
‘Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs’ (1970)
Derek and The Dominos
Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs rocks the hardest of all the albums featured here, and so, yes, it probably qualifies most as “classic rock” in the traditional sense, and to a greater extent than Rumours. If the sound isn’t too Rumours, why include it, then? Well, lyrically, Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs is almost aggressively about love and its hardships (it’s in the album’s title and all), and so it works as a possible break-up album in a comparable way to Rumours.
The title track, “Layla,” demonstrates this particularly well, and it deserved to be part of the album’s title, since it is the clear standout moment on Layla and Other Assorted Love Songs. This is also the only album Derek and the Dominos ever released, but Eric Clapton, as the short-lived band’s short-lived frontman, has certainly done a good many other things in the world of rock over the decades, including doing his own solo/acoustic version of “Layla” that is straight-up not nearly as good as the Derek and the Dominos one.
2
‘Hounds of Love’ (1985)
Kate Bush
It feels a little silly trying to tie Kate Bush to any genre, though if you really want to argue that Hounds of Love is too far removed from rock (like, any kind), then you’re welcome to. But it’s here because it’s a moving and creative album that’s very easy to appreciate and enjoy, even when it’s being kind of unusual and even borderline-challenging (see the album’s second half, for example).
Hounds of Love also has some absolute all-timer tracks on it, with “Running Up That Hill (A Deal With God)” being the inevitable standout, though “Cloudbusting” really isn’t too far behind, quality-wise. Whatever Kate Bush was doing here, it’s never really been replicated since. Words can only go so far, when it comes to Hounds of Love, and it’s as much of a classic for its decade as Rumours was for the entirety of the 1970s.
1
‘Steve McQueen’ (1985)
Prefab Sprout
Back to the sophisti-pop genre, with emotions being unapologetically broad and big, here’s Steve McQueen (don’t mix it up with that actor guy, nor the filmmaker of the same name), which is a bit more rock-focused than Hats. It’s got a bit of energy in some of its tracks, while also having mellower ones too, and the balance here is pulled off incredibly well.
The band behind Steve McQueen, Prefab Sprout, is not nearly as popular nowadays as Fleetwood Mac, but at their best, they do scratch the same itch, and Steve McQueen is ultimately the band at their best. The first half of this album is genuinely perfect, and then the second half being “merely” very good is forgivable. As far as gentle (and maybe even sentimental) pop/rock music of the ‘70s/’80s is concerned, it doesn’t get much better than this album.

By definition, child actors are often typecast by the roles that helped make them famous. The perfect example of this is Macaulay Culkin. He’s done great work in everything from Saved to Fallout, but everyone will always associate him with Home Alone. That’s a shame because most of this talented actor’s best work occurs far outside that seminal holiday classic.
For example, My Girl (1991) is a movie that taught an entire generation of moviegoers to cry thanks to its poignant portrayal of adolescent love and heartbreak. Culkin is excellent throughout, and his co-lead Anna Chlumsky helped cement this drama as the must-see children’s film of the ‘90s. When you’re ready to summon some serious nostalgia and see two of the best child actors in Hollywood history performing their hearts out, all you have to do is stream My Girl on Netflix.
Your Childhood Is Just A Click Away
The premise of My Girl is that the titular girl, Vada Margaret Sultenfuss, is the daughter of the local funeral parlor owner, and she’s dealing with constant hypochondria and a general obsession with death. What takes her mind off things is her growing friendship with a local boy who is allergic to just about everything. But even with their powers combined, she’ll have trouble accomplishing her primary goal: keeping her widower father from finding love with his new makeup artist.
For one of the ‘90s most impactful films, My Girl has a lean cast filled with big names, starting with Dan Aykroyd (best known for Ghostbusters) as a widower struggling with raising a daughter and running a funeral parlor. His life perks up when he begins dating a funeral makeup maven played by Jamie Lee Curtis (best known for Halloween). Together, these veteran actors provide a kind of emotional anchor for what is basically a children’s movie.
The Mac Is Back
Speaking of which, the performances from McCaulay Culkin (best known for Home Alone) and Anna Chlumsky (best known for Veep) provide the heart and soul of My Girl. They give powerful performances that belie their young ages, and they each capture the pangs of adolescent awkwardness in different ways. The actors have wonderful chemistry with each other, and they do a great job of portraying the best thing in the world for an outcast kid: feeling less alone because you finally found a fellow weirdo to hang out with.
While it ended up being a critical disappointment (more on this in a moment), My Girl was a major box office success, earning $121.5 million against a budget of only $17 million. This made a sequel downright inevitable, but the follow-up film My Girl 2 ended up being both a critical and commercial bomb. Fortunately, the sequel’s failure didn’t overshadow the importance of the original film, one which demonstrated just how heartfelt and emotionally impactful a children’s movie could be.
Critics Pronounced It Dead
Even though it’s considered a masterpiece by millennials, the reviewers weren’t kind to My Girl when it first came out. On Rotten Tomatoes, it has a 57 percent, with critics primarily complaining about the needlessly tearjerking climax of the film. Those same critics did acknowledge, however, that the sweet story was quite appealing and that the film is elevated by surprisingly nuanced performances from lead actors Macaulay Culkin and Anna Chlumsky.
In revisiting My Girl, I am more struck than ever before by the simple fact that the reviewers got it completely wrong with this one. Obviously, the movie is a tear-jerker, and it has a jaw-dropping ending that absolutely ruined those of us who watched the film as children. But given how many profoundly sad films (ranging from Schindler’s List to Moonlight) have gone on to win Best Picture Oscars, it’s clear that making audiences cry doesn’t mean that a film is bad.
All The Feels, All The Tears
While My Girl doesn’t pack the full weight of those Academy Award winners, it does deserve its flowers for telling an almost universally relatable coming-of-age story. There’s a reason that so many of us see ourselves in Anna Chlumsky’s character. All of the heartbreak and confusion that she goes through is an echo of what all of us experience growing up. This is our collective childhood onscreen, and seeing your own awkward youth captured so perfectly onscreen may have you crying long before this film’s shocking climax.
Plus, My Girl packs a surprising amount of warm nostalgia and genuine comedy into its relatively svelte runtime. The soundtrack helps you perfectly immerse yourself in its period setting, bringing the early ‘70s to vibrant life with confidence and style. Thanks to its heart, humor, and show-stopping performances, My Girl is like a warm childhood blanket that you’ll want to wrap yourself in while completely tuning out the outside world.
Will you agree that My Girl is a perfect coming-of-age classic, or would you rather fight off a swarm of bees than watch this one through to the end? You won’t know until you grab the remote and stream this 90’s heartbreaker for yourself on Netflix. Just be sure to keep a few tissues handy, because your eyes will definitely get misty before the credits roll!
Hillary Clinton
Ghislaine Was At Chelsea’s Wedding
… But Only as a ‘Plus-One’
Published
Hillary Clinton finally addressed the photo of Ghislaine Maxwell attending her daughter Chelsea Clinton‘s 2010 wedding … but Hillary said she doesn’t recall Ghislaine being there, and that she was only invited as a plus one.
In a deposition with the House Oversight Committee last week, Hillary said, “She was there as a guest of Ted Waitt — someone we had known for 30 years I believe — who was a strong supporter of my husband, and became a friend.”
Hillary added … “There were more than 500 people at the wedding, so other than that picture of her at the wedding, I have no recollection of talking with her. I was pretty focused on my daughter.”
As we previously reported … Hillary says she does “not recall ever encountering” Epstein and claims the Oversight Committee used her to “distract attention from President Trump‘s actions.”
Her husband, Bill Clinton, was also deposed and claimed ignorance of Epstein’s crimes until 2008, by which time Bill says he had already stopped associating with Epstein.
Both Bill and Hillary claim no wrongdoing.
