Thor: Love and Thunder casting Russell Crowe as Zeus hints to Hercules, and a potential villain plot, as Thor 4 pulls out all the stops for Marvel's big sequel.
The Golden Globes are changing their name to the Bronze Globes. You heard it here first: The awards show is no longer worthy of the precious-metal moniker and has been asked to drop it from their name.
I jest but not about the show’s viewership decline, down 64 percent from 2020, to fewer than 7 million viewers for the 2021 event that aired in late February. For context, in 2004, the Golden Globes show drew 26.8 million viewers.
Some attributed this year’s sharp drop to the lack of diversity among award winners and judges. That makes sense except anger often prompts more people to tune in and vocalize their discontent. Others might say the awkwardness of an awards show staged at great distance was painful to watch, but at least those critiquing it did watch. Or perhaps it’s the pandemic’s fault, and all live events are getting hit by bad viewership.

With Crowe s role all but solidified, the inclusion of Zeus opens up a huge possibility for the future of Marvel movies in using their roster of Greek-god-based characters. Including, of course, Zeus son Hercules.
The Marvel comics version of Zeus, and indeed the rest of their mythology-based characters, is mostly based on the one in Greek legends, but with some extra superhero zhuzh going on. He s one of the Olympians the human-appearing beings who come from the dimension Olympus (rather than the mountain).
Like in the myth, he s the god of the heavens, sky, weather, and can smite people with lightning bolts. And just like in the myth, Zeus is a total horndog.

Several of the top A-list actresses at the 2021 Academy Awards brought back a 90s fashion trend by wearing creative cutouts and crop tops.
Zendaya and Best Actress nominees Vanessa Kirby, Audra Day, and Carey Mulligan all wore the trend on the red carpet.
This trend was epitomized in the 90s by red carpet icons like Jennifer Lopez, Halle Berry, and Jennifer Aniston.
Tonight s Oscars is an award show like none other. The show s producers took great pains to make the show feel as normal as possible during a decidedly abnormal time. Instead of broadcasting from the Dolby Theater in Hollywood as usual, the ceremony was staged at Union Station in Los Angeles, to better comply with COVID-19 restrictions and maintain a safe environment for everyone in attendance.
