Taylor Sheridan’s TV empire has trained viewers to expect sprawling seasons, slow-burn family conflict, and enough room for a Western saga to really breathe. That is a big part of why any new series even loosely tied to Yellowstone tends to arrive with a certain built-in expectation: big stars, big emotions, and a lot of episodes to sink into. That last part, at least, is not what The Madison is doing.

When The Madison premieres on March 14, 2026, it will do so with only six episodes in its entire first season, with the first three dropping on March 14 and the final three arriving on March 21. That makes it the shortest season yet for any show connected to the broader Yellowstone orbit. Whether this is because Paramount+ are unsure about it, or they want to get it out of the way is another question. However, a second season has already finished shooting, so there must be some faith in the show. Perhaps this is a way to get both seasons released in one year without feeling like overkill?

That is especially striking because Paramount is rolling it out at the same time as Marshals, which is taking the exact opposite route. The CBS series premiered on March 1, 2026, airs weekly on Sundays, and its first season runs 13 episodes, stretching all the way across the spring.

What makes the six-episode run feel especially abrupt is the franchise context around it. Yellowstone itself settled into 10-episode seasons for Seasons 2 through 4, 1883 also ran 10 episodes, while 1923 came in at 8 episodes for Season 1 and 7for Season 2. By comparison, The Madison is the most abbreviated season of the bunch.

What Is ‘The Madison’ About?

Created and written by Sheridan, The Madison stars Michelle Pfeiffer and Kurt Russell as Stacy and Preston Clyburn, a married couple from New York who relocate to Montana’s Madison River Valley after a family tragedy. Paramount+ and recent coverage describe the show as “a drama about grief, healing, and human connection”, with the family trying to adapt to a totally different life in rural Montana.

The cast also includes Patrick J. Adams as Russell McIntosh, Elle Chapman as Paige McIntosh, Matthew Fox as Paul Clyburn, Beau Garrett as Abigail Reese, Amiah Miller as Bridgette Reese, Ben Schnetzer as Van Davis, Kevin Zegers as Cade Harris, Rebecca Spence as Liliana Weeks, Alaina Pollack as Macy, Danielle Vasinova as Kestrel Harris, and Will Arnettappearing as Dr. Phil Yorn.

The Madison premieres on March 14, 2026.

For almost a century, the Academy Awards, also known as the Oscars, have celebrated and honored some of the greatest artists in film of our time. Even though the future looks bright for women and minorities, it is no secret that film endures as a male-dominated industry and that there is a lack of recognition of many female actors and artists’ talents. Despite these circumstances, exceptionally talented women such as Edith Head, Katharine Hepburn, and Meryl Streep have never failed to put their abilities to practice and were deservedly critically acclaimed for it in return.

Although there has been a positive shift in how the Academy recognizes and honors female artists, a bigger, more poignant change is yet to come. Especially considering that the world is filled with bold, fierce, and talented women waiting for an opportunity to showcase their skills and abilities. But who is the actress with the most Oscars? From Cate Blanchett to Ingrid Bergman, these are the talented women who have won the most Academy Awards so far.

Bette Davis

2 Oscars

Bette Davis reigns as one of the greatest actresses of all time and is known for her poised and unsympathetic roles in classics such as Now, Voyager, The Letter, and All About Eve. Davis initially established herself as a prominent stage star before transitioning into movies, becoming one of Warner Bros.’s most popular and highest-paid stars during the Golden Age of Hollywood.

Throughout Davis’ extensive career, she earned ten Academy Award nominations, making her the first person in Oscar history to ever receive that many nominations for acting. In 1935, Davis won her first Academy Award in the Best Actress category for her performance in Dangerous. Her luck followed her into the following year, earning her second Oscar for Best Actress for Jezebel, which many consider to be one of her greatest performances.

Vivien Leigh

2 Oscars

British actress Vivien Leigh took America by storm with her iconic performance as the headstrong Southern Belle, Scarlet O’Hara, in the cinematic classic, Gone With the Wind, which earned Leigh her first Oscar for Best Actress. Even though Leigh had a very successful film career, she had an even more impressive career on the stage and was a remarkable talent with incredible range.

After claiming her first Oscar, Leigh starred in the film adaptation of Tennessee William‘s hit Broadway play, A Streetcar Named Desire, alongside Marlon Brando, Karl Malden, and Kim Hunter. A Streetcar Named Desire received a staggering number of Oscar nominations, including Best Picture and Best Picture, and earned Leigh her second Oscar for Best Actress for her remarkable performance.

Hilary Swank first gained audiences’ attention with her incredible performance in the 1999 biopic, Boys Don’t Cry, which earned her her first Academy Award for Best Actress. After the immense success of Boys Don’t Cry, Swank became one of the most popular actresses during the 2000s and appeared in an array of various roles, demonstrating her talent and ability to move into vastly different characters.

In 2007, Swank starred in Clint Eastwood‘s epic sports drama, Millon Dollar Baby, as an ambitious boxer, Maggie Fitzgerald, who is trained by a former trainer who is played by Eastwood. The film was a triumph for both Swank and Eastwood, earning praise from audiences and critics across the globe. Million Dollar Baby received several Oscar nominations and went on to win Swank her second Oscar for Best Actress.

Jessica Lange

2 Oscars

During the 1980s, Jessica Lange was one of the most popular leading ladies on the silver screen and gained a reputation for taking on a series of complex and intriguing roles. Lange made her feature debut in the 1976 remake King Kong and was an instant blonde bombshell, earning a Golden Globe nomination for Best New Star of the Year.

Several years later, Lange starred as a charming soap opera star in the romantic comedy, Tootsie, with Dustin Hoffman playing her character’s love interest…well, sort of. Lange won the hearts of critics and audiences with her sensational performance in Tootsie, which earned the actress her first Oscar for Best Supporting Actress. By the 1990s, Lange was a household name and earned her second Oscar for Best Actress for her compelling performance as a bipolar housewife in the 1994 film Blue Sky.

11

Olivia de Havilland

2 Oscars

Olivia de Havilland was a widely successful leading lady of classic Hollywood who was initially known for her heart-of-gold love interests and girl-next-door roles before moving into more dramatic and sinister roles that made her a unique screen star. De Havilland first gained cinematic notoriety for her performance as the kind Melanie Hamilton in Gone With the Wind, but her career took off thanks to her series of films with Errol Flynn, including Captain Blood and The Adventures of Robin Hood.

In 1946, de Havilland starred in the romantic drama, To Each His Own, which went on to earn the actress her first Academy Award for Best Actress. Not too long after her first win, she starred in another classic romantic drama, The Heiress, with Montgomery Clift and Miriam Hopkins. While the film itself was a major success, de Havilland’s performance was the heart and soul of the film and rightfully earned her a second Academy Award for Best Actress.

10

Cate Blanchett

2 Oscars

Cate Blanchett is an Australian actor who has made a name for herself because of her roles in many award-winning films, including The Talented Mr. Ripley, The Lord of the Rings trilogy, The Curious Case of Benjamin Button, Don’t Look Up, and more. Though she received her first Oscar nomination for her role as Queen Elizabeth I in 1998’s Elizabeth, she did not win an Oscar until 2005 for her supporting role in The Aviator. Blanchett won her second Oscar for Best Actress in the Woody Allen comedy-drama film Blue Jasmine in 2014.

Blanchett has also received Oscar nominations for Notes on a Scandal, I’m Not There, Elizabeth: The Golden Age, and Carol. Her role in the film Tár has also highlighted Blanchett’s astounding talents and garnered her much acclaim. No doubt, with Cate Blanchett’s iconic filmography, the Australian star is at the top of her game.

Jane Fonda

2 Oscars

For over six decades, actor and humanitarian Jane Fonda has starred in many prominent movies and television shows, such as Barefoot in the Park, 9 to 5, Barbarella, and Grace and Frankie. Fonda has undoubtedly established herself as one of the most acclaimed actors of her generation. Throughout her career, she has received an impressive seven Oscar nominations for the films They Shoot Horses, Don’t They? (it earned the most Oscar noms without one for Best Picture), Klute, Julia, Coming Home, The China Syndrome, On Golden Pond, and The Morning After. Out of the seven nominations, Fonda has won two Oscars for Klute and Coming Home in the Best Actress category.

Before acting, Jane Fonda was also a fashion model and even made two appearances on the cover of Vogue. Furthermore, she is an outspoken activist for the Black Lives Matter movement, the environmental crisis, and, most famously, for opposing and wanting to end the Vietnam War, which stirred controversy in the United States.

Maggie Smith

2 Oscars

Having appeared in over sixty films, seventy plays, and winning two Academy Awards, a Tony Award, and four Primetime Emmy Awards, Dame Maggie Smith has achieved the “Triple Crown of Acting” title. She is hailed as one of Britain’s most prolific actors and was made a Dame by Queen Elizabeth II in 1990 for her contribution to the arts. Dame Smith’s first Oscar win came in 1969 for her breakout role as an eccentric teacher in an all-girls school in Edinburgh for the film The Prime of Miss Jean Brodie.

Although she would go on to star in many more notable films after the film, it took another nine years before the star’s second Oscar win for California Suite in 1978, where she, ironically, played the role of a British actor, Diane Barrie, who was a first-time nominee for the Academy Award for Best Actress.

7

Elizabeth Taylor

2 Oscars

Since Elizabeth Taylor’s acting career began in the 1940s, she quickly rose to fame as one of the most prominent faces of Hollywood by the 1950s and became the world’s highest-paid movie star by the 1960s. It turned out that the 60s would become the greatest decade of her career as Taylor went on to win two Oscars for her roles in Butterfield 8 in 1961 and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? in 1967.

Besides acting, Taylor was also an advocate for humanitarian causes, with a particular focus on HIV/AIDS. In 1993, she was also awarded the Jean Hersholt Humanitarian Award of AMPAS (Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences), an award given to an individual for “outstanding contributions to humanitarian causes” for her commitment to fighting against HIV/AIDS. To this day, Elizabeth Taylor remains a beloved name in the film industry, and understandably so.

Thelma Schoonmaker

3 Oscars

Although actors and directors get the most credit and recognition for their work, a film would not succeed without the involvement of other departments, such as costume design, lighting, cinematography, production assistants, editors, and more. And as such, they should be celebrated and recognized for the work they have achieved.

The male-dominated film industry means that women have to fight harder to earn a position against other men. On this occasion, female film editor Thelma Schoonmaker did. The gifted Schoonmaker has won three out of eight Best Film Editing Oscar nominations for Raging Bull, The Aviator, and The Departed, the most nods for the category in the Academy’s history. Not only that, only a handful of female editors have been nominated for the “Best Film Editing” category, let alone win an Oscar.

Brooke Shields’ return to Hope Valley as Charlotte Thornton was both emotional and powerful, but one scene in particular was necessary to move When Calls the Heart forward.

Warning: Spoilers below from season 13, episode 10, of When Calls the Heart.

“It’s a new chapter for everybody,” Shields, 60, exclusively told Us Weekly of the future for Charlotte and her family after the events of Hallmark Channel series’ Sunday, March 8, episode.

During the episode, Mountee Nathan Grant (Kevin McGarry) asked for Charlotte’s blessing to ask for her daughter-in-law Elizabeth Thornton’s (Erin Krakow) hand in marriage.

After Charlotte gave Nathan her stamp of approval, he told her he needed one more blessing, that of Charlotte’s late son and Elizabeth’s late husband, Jack Thornton (Daniel Lissing). So together, they went to Jack’s grave, marking the first time Charlotte had been there since his death during season 5.

Brooke Shields’ highly-anticipated two-part return to When Calls the Heart brings an added sense of family as her daughter Rowan Francis Henchy is set to make a surprise appearance. “It was fun,” Shields, 60, exclusively told Us Weekly on Thursday, February 26, of her character Charlotte Thornton’s return to Hope Valley. While fans got to […]

“First of all, I was like, ‘Oh God, I gotta cry.’ Sort of like, ‘Oh man,’” Shields recalled to Us of her initial reaction to reading the scene. “You have to really psych yourself out to be able to, you know, access all that stuff.”

Once she got into the moment at the gravesite, where Charlotte spoke to her son after Nathan asked him to marry his widow, Shields said she felt calm.

“I was relieved that they were able to write a story line that encompassed [Nathan’s] gift to her, her gift to herself, to be able to mourn her son,” Shields explained. “She hadn’t been back, and the flood of all those emotions brings people together in a different way.”

Charlotte broke down in tears as she spoke to her son for the first time since his death, telling him, “You’re with us, Jack. You’re in our hearts and you always will be.”

The powerful scene was both the closing of Jack and Elizabeth’s chapter and the mark of a new beginning for Charlotte’s family as a whole. (Jack and Elizabeth share one son, Little Jack, played by Hyland Goodrich, whom Charlotte is very involved with.)

“I think that chapter will never be closed for a mother, but I think that [it] gave room and freedom for whatever new types of relationships to be formed and nurtured,” Shields told Us. “It was bringing her son back, and letting herself do that. And then letting herself and this new coupling to kind of see where it was going to go.”

When it comes to the future, Shields told Us that she would love to be brought back whenever Nathan and Elizabeth get married — although he has not officially proposed.

“We hope she makes it home safely. We always have to worry about that,” Shields said of her character’s immediate future with a laugh. (If you rewatch the end of the episode where Charlotte is picked up in a car to head to the big city, you will see Shields’ real-life daughter Rowan Francis Henchy in the back of the vehicle.)

Shields noted that if Elizabeth decides to marry Nathan then “everybody has to sort of decide who fits where right now and what does that mean, and how do you respect the wishes of the family? And yet, really kind of go, ‘OK, does that person have a place here or not?’”

Shields revealed that Charlotte “may or may not” fit into the new blended family, but said, “This right now is in sort of a very neutral way for everybody to sort of ask different questions instead of not knowing the answers.”

The actress told Us that it is “very up in the air” as to when Charlotte will return to When Calls the Heart following her three appearances so far this season.

“They haven’t told me anything,” Shields confessed. “Everybody’s entering a very new chapter. They have these other lives that they have to keep on going. So I think it’s going to be based on what happens with Nathan and Elizabeth.”

She teased that what Little Jack “needs” throughout this next phase will also influence whether Charlotte comes back sooner than later.

When Calls the Heart airs on Hallmark Channel Sundays at 8 p.m. ET.

Few films embrace excess quite like Moulin Rouge! In true Baz Luhrmann form, this kaleidoscopic musical throws subtlety out of the window in favor of pure cinematic spectacle—whether it’s through rapid editing, lavish costumes, explosive musical numbers, and emotions that are dialed up to eleven. It’s the kind of film that overwhelms the senses in the best possible way, proving that sometimes bigger, louder, and more extravagant storytelling can create an experience that’s completely unforgettable.

That approach falls squarely into what film lovers often call maximalism: a style where filmmakers push visuals, performances, sounds, and emotions to their absolute limits. These movies aren’t afraid of bold colors, operatic drama, or stylistic chaos. Instead, they revel in it. So, if you’re craving stories that are just as audacious, vibrant, and special as Moulin Rouge!, perhaps take a look at these masterpieces that deliver spectacle in all the right ways.

‘Amélie’ (2001)

Image via Miramax Films

In the whimsical streets of Montmarte, shy waitress Amélie Poulain (Audrey Tautou) lives a quiet life filled with small pleasures and vivid imagination. But after discovering a hidden box of childhood treasures in her apartment, she decides to secretly improve the lives of those around her through a series of carefully orchestrated good deeds. Yet while she carries out these acts, Amélie struggles to pursue happiness in her own life—especially when she becomes enamored with an equally quirky man.

Like Moulin Rouge!, Amélie transforms everyday life into something dazzling and heightened. Director Jean-Pierre Jeunet fills the film with saturated colors, playful editing, whimsical narration, and visual gags that make Paris feel like a living storybook. The result is a world bursting with personality and romantic idealism. Better still, beneath the stylistic flourish lies a heartfelt message about connection, courage, and embracing life’s small joys—making it a perfect companion piece for anyone who loves punchy storytelling.

‘Scott Pilgrim vs. the World’ (2010)

Scott Pilgrim (Michael Cera) is a bass player in a scrappy Toronto garage band who falls instantly in love with the mysterious Ramona Flowers (Mary Elizabeth Winstead). Unfortunately, he soon discovers that dating Ramona comes with one small complication: Scott must defeat her seven evil exes in a series of increasingly absurd battles before their relationship can truly begin.

It’s no surprise that film auteur Edgar Wright was able to brilliantly turn a graphic novel into a full-blown sensory explosion. From comic-book panels, arcade sound effects, rapid-fire editing, and visual punchlines—everything collided in nearly every scene. Of course, this was likely because Scott Pilgrim vs. the World aimed to be a gleeful genre mash-up where the result feels entirely its own. It’s loud, colorful, unapologetically stylized, and packed with so much visual energy that the film practically demands repeat viewings.

‘Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse’ (2023)

Image via Sony Pictures Releasing

Miles Morales (Shameik Moore) continues his journey as Spider-Man while struggling to balance superhero responsibilities with the expectations of his family. But when he reunites with Gwen Stacy (Hailee Steinfeld) and is pulled into a vast multi-verse of Spider-People, Miles discovers that not everyone agrees on what it means to be a hero. As tensions rise between destiny and personal choice, Miles finds himself challenging the very rules that define the Spider-Man legacy.

If maximalism had a modern animated masterpiece, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse would be near the top of the list. Every universe Miles visits boasts its own visual language—from watercolor dreamscapes to glitchy comic-book chaos—creating a kaleidescope of animation styles rarely seen in mainstream cinema. Like the film that came before it, this one embraces artistic excess in the best possible way (if not more). It’s bold, emotionally charged, and visually overstimulating, proving that sometimes the most powerful storytelling comes from pushing style to its absolute limit.

‘Everything Everywhere All at Once’ (2022)

Evelyn Wang (Michelle Yeoh) is a stressed laundromat owner juggling taxes, family expectations, and a strained marriage. To make matters more complicated, her life takes a surreal turn when she learns that she must connect with alternate versions of herself across the multiverse to stop a cosmic threat. But as Evelyn jumps between wildly different realities, she begins to confront the regrets and possibilities that define her life.

There’s no doubt that this Daniels’ genre-bending epic thrives on glorious chaos. Ricocheting between absurd comedy, heartfelt drama, martial arts spectacle, and science-fiction madness—Everything Everywhere All at Once thrills its audience through its dizzying speed. Yet much like Moulin Rogue!, the emotional core remains deeply sincere. Underneath the swirling visual intensity lies a surprisingly tender story about family, generational trauma, and finding meaning in a seemingly overwhelming universe. So gather your tissues as this one is a dousy, even though it will leave you staring at the screen, questioning what you have just seen.

‘Apocalypse Now’ (1979)

Image via United Artists

During the Vietnam War, Captain Benjamin Willard (Martin Sheen) is sent on a secret mission to assassinate Colonel Kurtz (Marlon Brando), a decorated officer who has gone rogue and established his own cult-like command deep in the Cambodian jungle. But as Willard travels upriver with a small crew by his side, the journey becomes increasingly surreal, exposing the psychological toll and moral ambiguity of war.

While very different in tone from Moulin Rogue!, Francis Ford Coppola‘s iconic war epic embodies maximalism in its most operatic form. Indeed, Apocalypse Now is packed with unforgettable imagery—from helicopters soaring to Richard Wagner’s “Ride of the Valkyries” to the hypnotic spectacle of Kurtz’s jungle compound. Coppola’s approach is grand, excessive, and utterly immersive, just like Luhrmann’s. In this sense, such a film proves that cinema at its most powerful often comes from directors willing to push style, scale, and emotion.

‘Kung Fu Hustle’ (2004)

Image Via Columbia TriStar Film Distributors International 

Set in 1940s China, petty criminal Sing (Stephen Chow) dreams of joining the notorious Axe Gang but he repeatedly finds himself stumbling into situations far beyond his abilities. When he inadvertently sparks a conflict between the gang and the residents of Pigsty Alley, Sing discovers that the seemingly ordinary tenants are actually martial arts masters capable of extraordinary feats.

There’s no better form of entertainment than a maximalist tale that’s dressed as a comedy. And that’s just what Kung Fu Hustle does best, as the film gleefully blends slapstick humor, classic martial arts cinema, cartoon physics, and elaborate visual effects into something that feels both nostalgic and wildly inventive. Every fight sequence escalates the absurdity while still delivering jaw-dropping choreography. It’s a true celebration of spectacle with unapologetic enthusiasm—and who can ever complain about that?

‘Amadeus’ (1984)

Image via Orion Pictures

Set in 18th-century Vienna, Amadeus follows the bitter rivalry between court composer Antonio Salieri (F. Murray Abraham) and the brilliant yet immature Wolfgang Amadeus Mozart (Tom Hulce). Consumed by jealousy of Mozart’s effortless genius, Salieri becomes obsessed with undermining the young prodigy while secretly admiring the divine beauty of his music.

Taking a different approach to the traditional biopic, this film explores classical music with sweeping theatrical grandeur. Lavish costumes, towering sets, and thunderous orchestral performances turn Mozart’s compositions into cinematic events. The storytelling feels almost operatic in scale—filled with heightened emotion, spectacle, and dramatic flair. In this sense, fans of Moulin Rouge! will recognize the same commitment to artistic extravagance, where music and visual style merge into something overwhelming and unforgettable.

PACK ON PDA IN MEXICO …
Amid Joe Burrow Rumors

Heather Graham oozed body confidence while enjoying a yoga retreat in Tulum, Mexico.

The Boogie Nights actress, 56, took to Instagram on Sunday, March 8, to share glimpses of her recent beachside escape, rocking three bikinis as well as crimson-red activewear and flirty dresses.

“So grateful I got to go on a yoga retreat with the amazing @soukofrima_ and @mjmasala in beautiful Tulum,” she captioned her carousel. “It was so fun swimming, laying on the beach and dancing with you.”

In the post’s first frame, Graham paired a white string bikini with a wide-brimmed straw hat as she kicked her foot along the shore of a white-sand beach. The following photo captured her posing in a red string bikini with her hand placed on a hip.

The post drew praise from fans who took to her carousel’s comments section to express their thoughts. “Wow. Do you work out? You look fantastic!” wrote one fan, while another wrote, “Age like a fine fine wine!”

Another fan showed their approval by referencing one of Graham’s most famous films, 1999’s Austin Powers: The Spy Who Shagged Me, sharing a meme of Mike Myers’ Austin and the text, “Liquid hot magma.”

Additional shots in the carousel showed Graham in a black-and-white striped bikini and a red crop top with matching red leggings as she practised a hand-to-foot yoga pose against an idyllic tropical backdrop. Her happy snaps also saw her lying on the sand, cozying up to various pals, dining in a restaurant and relaxing on a daybed with director Michele Civetta.

The carousel was shared less than two months after Graham posted photos from a visit to Saudi Arabia’s Joy Awards while on the arm of Civetta. Her January 20 Instagram post also showed the pair snuggled up together on their backs as they snapped a selfie.

Graham has long sizzled in barely there swimwear posts, even joining fellow actress Jane Seymour in June 2025 for a documented beach day in Sardegna, Italy. Seymour, 75, shared photos from their outing via her own Instagram account at the time, capturing Graham in a triangle black top equipped with halter straps and styled with low-waisted bottoms that tied in bows at the hips.

Graham recently got candid about her past romance with the late Heath Ledger, revealing during an interview for the October 13, 2025, episode of the “Are You a Charlotte?” podcast that she feels “proud” to have dated him. (Ledger died at the age of 28 in 2008 after an accidental drug overdose.)

“I was very in love with him when we dated,” Graham expanded, referencing her relationship with Ledger in 2000.
