(Welcome to Did They Get It Right?, a series where we look at Oscars categories from yesteryear and examine whether the Academy's winners stand the test of time.)
Since I started this column, I've spotlighted several times where the Academy Awards completely nailed a category, such as Best Actor at the 1994 Oscars or Best Picture at the 1976 ceremony. It's extremely rare for the Oscars to go five for five with their slate of nominees. Most often, they are a mixed bag, featuring a couple of more-than-worthy contenders and a couple who shouldn't be anywhere near the word "best." We have become accustomed to the uneven nature of the categories, and typically, we know that the people we want to win end up losing to the people we don't think should have even been nominated.
We rag on the Oscars for their selections, but they don't make it a habit of...

Exclusive: Holt McCallany (Nightmare Alley) and Julianne Nicholson (Blonde) are the newest additions to the cast of Amateur, the CIA thriller that Rami Malek is leading for 20th Century Studios.

Warner Bros. Television is in talks to develop a limited series based on the life of silent film star Buster Keaton. The project would star Rami Malek as Keaton.
“The Batman” director Matt Reeves would direct the limited series and produce via his 6th and Idaho Productions banner, which is under an overall deal at Warner Bros. TV. Malek and David Weddle also produce, with Ted Cohen in talks to serve as executive producer and writer. James Curtis’ 2022 biography “Buster Keaton: A Filmmaker’s Life” may serve as source material for the series, as the studio is negotiating the rights for the book.
Keaton, who lived from 1895 to 1966, is thought of as one of the most prominent stars of the silent film era aside from Charlie Chaplin. He got his start as a child in vaudevile acts alongside his parents, who were traveling performers, before transitioning into film in the late 1910s.
