Press: Lifetime, Hollywood Reporter to Present ‘Women in Entertainment: The Next Generation’ Special on May 24

The special will feature talent including Padma Lakshmi, Anna Kendrick, Elizabeth Olsen, Gillian Anderson, Jurnee Smollett, ‘Girls5eva’ star Sara Bareilles and more as it spotlights five female students mentored by top women execs in Hollywood.

THE HOLLYWOOD REPORTER: As a presenting partner for The Hollywood Reporter’s annual Women in Entertainment Breakfast, Lifetime has joined with THR for the evolution of the event.

Lifetime will air a broadcast special titled Lifetime and The Hollywood Reporter Present Women in Entertainment: The Next Generation, a Voices Magnified program celebrating female trendsetters, industry leaders and potential future female power players.

The special, set to premiere at 8 p.m. ET/PT on Monday, May 24, will be hosted by Padma Lakshmi. The hourlong show also will feature appearances by Anna Kendrick, Anitta, Elizabeth Olsen, Emma Corrin, Gillian Anderson, Lana Condor, Jurnee Smollett and Kathryn Hahn. The special also will feature an interview and special performance by Grammy winner and Girls5eva star Sara Bareilles of her hit song “Brave.”

Voices Magnified aims to give “a national spotlight to timely and important conversations on equality and social reform which are occurring across America today.”

THR’s pioneering Women in Entertainment Mentorship Program, which, in partnership with Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles, grants $1 million in scholarships to L.A. high school seniors from underserved communities, will be spotlighted in the special. Five of the program’s mentees will share their stories, how they were motivated by their mentors’ belief in what they can accomplish and how their mentors guided them on their journey to college and their future career paths.

The special also highlights Comcast NBCUniversal’s workplace mentorship program with Big Brothers Big Sisters, which has become a mentoring model for corporations nationwide.

Scholarships to Loyola Marymount University and Chapman University underwritten by Spotify, Sony and The Chuck Lorre Family Foundation will be awarded. Lifetime also provides a $10,000 scholarship to each of the girls who participate in The Women in Entertainment Mentorship Program. Cadillac also is a sponsor of Women in Entertainment.

The five mentor/mentees that will be featured in the special include Ali Hoffman (president, domestic networks for Starz) and Emely Menjivar; Cassidy Lange (director, original studio film, Netflix) and Gracie Flores; Deborah Thomas (senior vp entertainment publicity for NBC) and Celine Mendoza; Mioshi Jade Hill (president, Sirens Media) and Miranda Brock; and Terry Kalagian (executive vp creative content, Gaumont) and Wynda Lee.

“Lifetime is proud to partner with The Hollywood Reporter on the evolution of the Women in Entertainment event to reach even more people with these inspiring stories,” said Paul Buccieri, president and chairman of A+E Networks Group. “I truly believe in the incredible power of mentoring and its importance in shaping an individual’s future, and I am honored that Lifetime will help showcase these rising young leaders’ stories.”

Added Nekesa Mumbi Moody, editorial director of THR: “The Hollywood Reporter couldn’t be prouder of the program we launched 10 years ago with Big Brothers Big Sisters. It’s a gift to be able to pair some of the most intelligent female thought leaders in entertainment with deserving mentees to help them develop the skills they need to flourish academically and professionally. We hope that in leveraging our legacy and partnering with Lifetime, we can continue to inspire engaged audiences to carry out the vital mission of giving back to the next generation.”

Said Dalila Wilson-Scott, executive vp and chief diversity officer of Comcast Corporation: “Our employees are passionate about being champions for young people and helping to change lives as positive role models. After more than a decade of partnering with Big Brothers Big Sisters, our workplace-based mentoring program remains one of our most popular volunteer initiatives, helping our employees to become better leaders while creating opportunities for the next generation. We are proud to join with Lifetime to highlight this partnership and the vital role of mentorship in the lives of young women.”

“Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles is proud to celebrate The Women in Entertainment Mentorship Program alongside The Hollywood Reporter and Lifetime. For over a decade, this unique and transformative program has helped more than 200 deserving young women in Los Angeles build confidence, find their voices and grow towards their biggest possible futures,” said Lauren Plichta, president and CEO of Big Brothers Big Sisters of Greater Los Angeles. “During a period in our collective history where human connection is at an all-time low, we are incredibly grateful for all of our volunteers and allies who believe in the power of mentorship and work with us to keep kids connected.”

OSCARS 2020: Parasite Wins Big Including Best Picture

Parasite shined at the Academy Awards 2020, taking away all that it is nominated for, including Best Picture. Parasite is the first non English film to win a Best Picture award. Parasite’s director Bong Joon Ho also took Best Director and said that he wished he could cut the award in 5 parts and share it with the other 4. Parasite also won Best Foreign Language Film and Best Original Screenplay.

Meanwhile, Joaquin Phoenix took home the Best Actor award presented by Olivia Colman and shared a moving speech. “I do not feel elevated above any of my fellow nominees because we share the same the love of film and this form of expression has given me the most extraordinary life,” he said. “I don’t know what I’d be without it.”The actor, 45, called out speculation about his past, including that he’s been perceived as difficult to work with.“I’ve been a scoundrel in my life,” he said. “I’ve been cruel at times, hard to work with. Many of you in this room have given me a second chance.”He also spoke in-depth about “the distressing issues we’re facing” including gender, equality, racism, animal rights and environmental issues.“We’ve become very disconnected from the natural world,” he said. “We feel entitled to artificially inseminate a cow and when she gives first we steal the baby and then we take her milk that’s intended for the calf and we put it in our coffee.” (nypost)

Renee Zellweger won best actress (presented by Rami Malek) for portraying singer Judy Garland in the movie Judy. Cynthia Erivo performed Stand Up live on the stage while Elton John played the piano while singing to Rocketman. Elton won an Oscar for best original song (I’m Gonna) Love Me Again presented by Sigourney Weaver, Brie Larson and Gal Gadot, the most unlikely trio which we suddenly all love. Taika Waititi brought home a Best Adapted Screenplay Oscar for JoJo Rabbit presented by Natalie Portman and shoved it under his chair, which Brie Larson posted on social media. Brad Pitt won the Best Supporting Actor for Once Upon A Time in Hollywood and Laura Dern upstaged 4 fellow actresses to win Best Supporting Actress for her role in Marriage Story. Stephen Spielberg presented an In Memoriam tribute to those who died last and this year, including Kobe Bryant, Kirk Douglas and Peter Mayhew, etc. Yesterday by the Beatles was sung by Billie Eilish to remember those who left us forever.

James Corden and Rebel Wilson dressed up as cats (an obvious nod to their movie Cats which was snubbed for Oscars, as was Uncut Gems and many more) to present the awards. Meanwhile, Kristen Wiig and Maya Rudolph sang a musical medley introduced by Lin-Manuel Miranda and Eminem revisited the past 17 years back after he famously won an Oscar for song and he was at home, napping while his child was watching cartoons by performing Lose Yourself in front of millions. This was Billie Eilish’s reaction to the musical medley.

Avengers star Mark Ruffalo posed with future Marvel star Mahershala Ali at the 2020 Oscars, where Ruffalo presented the Academy Awards for Best Documentary and Best Documentary Short Subject. In Ruffalo's photo shared from the Oscars red carpet, the Hulk actor is posed with Little Women star Timothée Chalamet — who was once on the reported shortlist to play a rebooted Spider-Man in the Marvel Cinematic Universe, a role ultimately won by Tom Holland — and Ali, who starred as Cottonmouth in Netflix's Luke Cage before winning the role of Erik Brooks, a.k.a. vampire hunter Blade, in Marvel Studios' upcoming Blade reboot planned for Phase Five.

Hildor Guonadottir won Best Score for Joker, Toy Story 4 deservedly won Best Animated Feature, American Factory handmade by the Obamas, won Best Documentary, 1917 won Best Cinematography, Best Visual Effects and Best Sound Mixing and Ford v Ferrari took home Best Film Editing and Best Sound Editing. Jacqueline Durran won Best Costume Design for Little Women, Once Upon A Time won Best Production Design, Hair Love won Best Animated Short Film, The Neighbors’ Window won Live Action Short Film, Bombshell won Best Makeup and Hairstyling and finally, Best Short Documentary went to Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone.

LIFETIME Serves Up The Winter Lineup You’ve Been Waiting For! Biopics & Docs On Wendy Williams, Whitney Houston, Salt-N-Pepa

2020 was the ultimate let down. However, LIFETIME is kicking off 2021 with some biopics and documentaries you’ll be interested in seeing, starring some of your faves and some you love to hate. Deets inside…

Not that you need a reason to be hype that 2020 is ending!

Soon as 2021 rolls around, LIFETIME will be airing several biopics and documentaries about several of your faves and the ones you love to hate.

LIFETIME recently unveiled two all-new authorized biopics and three new documentaries centered on some of the most iconic women in pop culture history, which include Wendy Williams, Whitney Houston and Salt-N-Pepa. Yes, we’re finally getting the Salt-N-Pepa biopic that has been talked about for a while now.

Viewers will be treated to three-consecutive Saturdays of entertainment to kick off 2021. First up….

The three-hour Lifetime original movie Salt-N-Pepa, about the groundbreaking hip hop duo, premieres Saturday, January 23 at 8 pm ET/PT, followed by the documentary, "Salt-N-Pepa Interview Special," hosted by “The Real” co-host Loni Love and featuring exclusive interviews with Salt-N-Pepa, airing immediately after the biopic, at 11 pm. You can peep the first look here.

It’s unclear if that lawsuit Spinderella (aka Deidra Roper) filed against Salt-N-Pepa (aka Cheryl James and Sandra Denton) last year has been settled. She launched a lawsuit alleging that she's missing royalties, was underpaid for appearances, and wasn't paid at all for the group's performance at the 2018 Billboard Music Awards.

Next…

Wendy Williams: The Movie, the first biopic about outspoken, tell it like it is television host Wendy Williams, premieres Saturday, January 30th at 8 pm ET/PT, accompanied by the documentary "The Wendy Williams Story…What a Mess!," featuring a raw and emotional interview with Wendy, airing at 10 pm.

We're definitely setting alarms to remind us to watch. Do you think Wendy will REALLY delve into her life or nah?

Peep the trailer below:

youtube

Either way, we will be tuned in on January 30th to see.

And finally…

The new documentary, Whitney & Bobbi, about the heartbreaking parallel lives and ultimate fates of pop legend Whitney Houston and her daughter Bobbi Kristina, premieres Saturday, February 6th at 8 pm ET/PT.

Here's what viewers can expect.

The two-hour documentary presents an in-depth look at the parallel lives of renowned singer Whitney Houston and her daughter Bobbi Kristina. Both faced similar struggles and turned to drugs and alcohol for relief from the pressures of being in the spotlight, before leaving the earth in the same tragic way. In a candid look at the ups and downs of their personal stories, and a celebration of their lives, Whitney and Bobbi offers intimate conversations with the friends and family that were closest to them. Whitney & Bobbi is produced by Entertainment One and Creature Films for Lifetime. Executive producers include Tara Long, Shawna Foster, Madison Merritt, Mark Ford, Kevin Lopez from eOne and Creature Films and Brandi Burnside-Boyd. Brie Miranda Bryant and Gena McCarthy serve as executive producers for Lifetime.

We'll be locked in to watch them all. Will you?

‘Avengers: Endgame’ dominates 2019 MTV awards

LOS ANGELES: Box office-busting Avengers: Endgame dominated the MTV Movie and TV Awards Monday, as Captain Marvel star Brie Larsen led tributes to real-life heroines by ceding the spotlight to her stunt doubles.

Endgame, the second-highest grossing film of all time, picked up the best movie award, as well as best hero for Robert Downey Jr’s Iron Man and best villain for Josh Brolin as Thanos.

Oscar-winner Larsen added to the superheroes’ haul by picking up the best fight award, praising her stunt workers as the ‘living embodiment of Captain Marvel’ as she brought them up on stage.

Photo: AFP

Joanna Bennett and Renae Moneymaker, who also trained Larsen for the first female-led Marvel Studios/Disney superhero film, said it was an “honor” to work on the film and “be a part of bringing such a strong female character to life.”

A wide-ranging awards show also paid tribute to women beyond Hollywood such as trailblazing Supreme Court Justice Ruth Bader Ginsburg, the subject of documentary RBG, who won a new category for best real-life hero.

And in the evening’s most poignant moment, victims of sexual abuse were honored by the producers of Surviving R. Kelly, which won best documentary.

Photo: AFP

“Survivors walked through the fire and then stood again to tell this story,” said Lifetime network executive Brie Miranda Bryant.

The docu-series has led Chicago prosecutors to publicly seek out potential victims of R&B star Kelly, who has pleaded not guilty to felony sex crime charges.

“This isn’t just a trophy to us because this really speaks to the important cultural impact that this generated from this documentary,” Bryant added.

Photo: AFP

Newcomer Noah Centineo was the night’s biggest individual winner, scooping awards for breakthrough performance for Netflix teen romance film To All The Boys I’ve Loved Before.

But it was a disappointing night for Game of Thrones, which won best show but lost out in three other categories.

The epic fantasy’s final season was widely panned by critics and audiences.

The MTV Movie and TV Awards have been taking a sideways look at Hollywood since 1992, honoring films and their actors with ‘golden popcorn’ statuettes.

The nominees are decided by producers and MTV executives, while the winners are chosen by the public, who vote online.

As a result, the awards have historically recognized commercial favorites, in contrast to the Oscars and other events based on critical or industry acclaim.

This year it added off-beat new categories for ‘most meme-able moment’ and ‘reality royalty.’

It also gave non-competitive awards to Dwayne ‘The Rock’ Johnson and Jada Pinkett Smith.

For the second year running, the show was pre-recorded on Saturday in a cavernous hangar at Santa Monica Airport in southern California.

Brie Miranda Bryant to Head Reality at Lifetime

12:02 PM PDT 7/10/2017 by THR Staff

The exec, most recently of BET, will oversee unscripted development and production at the A+E net.

Lifetime has found a new head of reality, naming Brie Miranda Bryant senior vp unscripted development and programming.

“I’ve long admired Brie’s strong creative instincts and great relationships and could not be more thrilled to welcome her to Lifetime,” Lifetime executive vp and head of programming Liz Gateley said Monday in a statement. “Her diverse skill-set in navigating the worlds of publishing, film and television has translated into hit-making and I can’t wait to see what she develops next.”

Based out of New York, Bryant will oversee development and programming at the network that’s responsible for Dance Moms, Bring It, the Little Women franchise and, of course, Project Runway. She fills the void left by Mariana Flynn, who left in April.

Bryant comes from BET Networks, where she most recently held the same title. She also worked at Oxygen, where she spent a decade overseeing such series as Bad Girls Club and The Preachers.

The Best and Worst Moments of the 2020 Oscars

Going into the 92nd Academy Awards, the headlines were about what we wouldn’t see: no J. Lo, no female filmmakers of top films, almost no people of color in the acting categories. And yet women directors won; so did African-American directors. And the night ended with a history-making victory for “Parasite,” the first South Korean film to win best picture. Here are the highs and lows as we saw them.

The Most Heartwarming Winner

You could tell Hollywood had fallen in love with Bong Joon Ho by the outpouring inside the Dolby Theater every time the South Korean director went onstage Sunday night. And he was up there a lot, for best director, best original screenplay (shared with Han Jin Won), best international feature and finally best picture. At each prize, the crowd whooped and cheered, often rising to its feet. Accepting the directing trophy, Bong said through a translator, “When I was young and studying cinema, there was a saying that I carved deep into my heart, which is, ‘The most personal is the most creative.’” Then he added in English, “That quote was from our great Martin Scorsese,” and suddenly Bong had inspired the crowd to rise to its feet again, but this time for his fellow filmmaker. — Stephanie Goodman

After last year’s ceremony went just fine without an officially designated host, the academy announced it was forgoing an M.C. this year as well. And yet the 2020 Oscars got off to a decidedly traditional start when, after Janelle Monáe’s musical opening number, Chris Rock and Steve Martin — two comedians who have each separately hosted the ceremony before — took to the stage and traded one-liners. They gave shout-outs to several nominees, made jokes about current events and punched at the lack of representation for people of color.

Among their best lines:

MARTIN A couple of years ago, there was a big disaster here at the Oscars where they accidentally read out the wrong name, and it was nobody’s fault, but they have guaranteed that this will not happen this year, because the academy has switched to the new Iowa caucus app.

ROCK Marty Scorsese. Marty, I got to tell you, I loved the first season of “The Irishman.”

MARTIN Chris, think how much the Oscars have changed in the past 92 years. … In 1929, there were no black acting nominees.

ROCK And now, in 2020, we got one.

Martin closed out their bits with, “Well, we’ve had a great time not hosting tonight.” — Sopan Deb

The Best Answer to Overlooked Filmmakers

Though female filmmakers and people of color were largely omitted from the top categories, they were rewarded in less glamorous ones. Best documentary went to “American Factory,” which was directed by Julia Reichert along with Steven Bognar, while best documentary short went to “Learning to Skateboard in a Warzone (if You’re a Girl),” from the filmmaker Carol Dysinger. And “Hair Love,” the best animated short, was made by three African-American filmmakers: Matthew A. Cherry, Bruce W. Smith and Everett Downing Jr. Onstage, a “Hair Love” producer, Karen Rupert Toliver, described the film as a labor of love that stemmed from “a firm belief that representation matters deeply,” especially in cartoons “because that’s when we first see our movies and it’s how we shape our lives and think about how we see the world.” — Stephanie Goodman

The Oddest Answer to Snubbed Films

Look, “Queen & Slim”! Hey, it’s “Dolemite Is My Name”! Check it out, um, “Midsommar”? The show decided to use a musical opening number to celebrate a few films they completely ignored in the nomination process. Leading the performance, Janelle Monáe began on a makeshift “Mister Rogers’ Neighborhood” set (a reference to “A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood,” which did get one nomination), but later donned full flower dress regalia, a reference to Ari Aster’s bleak horror show “Midsommar,” unlikely to have been seen by many academy members. If we’re celebrating movies that came nowhere near making the Oscar ballot, it’s a shame they didn’t throw at least a couple of Jellicles into the opening, rather than saving them for a visual effects joke later. — Mekado Murphy

The Greatest Onstage Audition

The Oscars are kind of fun and kind of stupid, and every once in a while, someone at the ceremony seems to recognize that. This year, it was Maya Rudolph and Kristen Wiig with a bit that was very fun and very stupid. They pretended to be showing off their dramatic chops, declared they were passionate about production design and broke into a terrifically precise little musical medley to introduce the best costume design nominees. Can we do this every year? — Margaret Lyons

The Most Refreshing Looks

Old Hollywood — and the way it is represented by the academy and its nominations — has been under the microscope for awhile now, whether because of #OscarsSoWhite or #MeToo or the lack of recognition of female directors. It makes you wonder why so many actors still think dressing à la “old Hollywood” is the way to go on the red carpet. If ever there was a time to change things up a bit, this should be it. So it was hard to see all the Veronica Lake hair and silver screen-era gowns, the bows and the fishtails and the corsets — Charlize Theron in off-the-shoulder Dior black; Renée Zellweger in a white-sequined Armani slither; even Regina King in queenly shell-pink Versace — and not think: “lost opportunity.”

Happily, there were those who stepped up to seize it: Natalie Portman, for example, in a Dior gown edged in gold embroidery listing the names of the female directors who hadn’t been nominated. Spike Lee, longtime basketball fan, in a Laker purple-and-gold Gucci suit, with the number “24” on the lapels, in honor of Kobe Bryant. Margot Robbie in mid-1990s vintage couture Chanel. Reduce, reuse, recycle!

It was about using clothes to make a greater point. So when the dreaded question “what are you wearing?” came, the answer meant something more than marketing. Janelle Monáe, in silver, crystal-covered, hooded Ralph Lauren may have had the best dress. But in the end, hands down, it was Lee, Portman and Co. who had the best looks of the night.— Vanessa Friedman

The Least Helpful Bathroom Exchange

Sometimes the most, um, interesting moments happen where you least expect them. Renée Zellweger needed to give the corset under her dress a break, seeing as how she was supposed to be sitting in it for four hours. Relatively early in the evening, she ran into Brie Larson in a Dolby Theater bathroom. Larson asked her if she was tired. Zellweger said yes and Larson, who won the trophy for best actress in 2016, responded, “It’s better that way.” “Oh really, why?” Zellweger asked. “You have less energy, less ability to be nervous,” Larson replied. “I don’t know,” said Zellweger, who would go on to win best actress for her portrayal of Judy Garland. “I’m still really nervous.” — Nicole Sperling

The Worst Production Choices

Why the need to double dip on introductions? Why introduce Beanie Feldstein … to introduce Mindy Kaling? Why introduce Anthony Ramos to introduce Lin-Manuel Miranda? But the weird announcing didn’t stop there. Some of the Oscar-nominated songs got full-on intros, but some just began out of nowhere, with no details or context.

Another odd production choice was not cutting to every nomination montage but instead showing the stage and its askew video screen — during the production design and costume design reels, which are the coolest ones of all. Many aspects of awards shows could use some tweaking, but these are not among them. Announce the presenters! Show the nominee montages! These are the easy parts. — Margaret Lyons

We felt that way sometimes, too. — Stephanie Goodman

The Most Puzzling Surprise Guest

Eminem popped up during the ceremony — apropos of seemingly nothing — to perform “Lose Yourself,” his Oscar-winning song from 2003. Martin Scorsese seemed to sum up the reaction: He appeared to use Eminem’s performance as an opportunity to take a nap. Cameras quickly cut away from the director and toward audience members singing along. And to be fair they did give him a standing ovation. But the performance still went down as one of the ceremony’s clankier moments. Did producers invite Eminem in an attempt to attract young male viewers? Nobody backstage had any idea. Perhaps the purpose was to counterbalance the night’s warmth, especially concerning messages of community and inclusion. Eminem, who has a history of gay slurs, was most recently in the news for lyrics about the killings at an Ariana Grande concert in 2017. — Brooks Barnes
