NYC’s Governors Ball Music Festival is returning for 2024 with another powerful lineup. The Killers, SZA, and Post Malone are set to headline across the three days, when the fest takes place on June 7 to 9 at Flushing Meadows Corona Park.

Considering the three will be joined by a full range of equally incredible artists, many fans will be heading to see them this summer at the festival.

Here’s what to know about buying tickets.

Wednesday Season 2 is gearing up to start filming in the spring, and Jenna Ortega had a whole lot to say about the next installment heading to Netflix.

While the actress infamously made headlines for airing her criticisms of the Season 1 scripts, that doesn’t seem to be the case for Season 2. Ortega is clearly more pleased with the pages that she’s seeing, and she gushed about the new direction for the show while walking the red carpet at Monday night’s Emmy awards.

Via E! News

“I’ve received some scripts for the second season and we’re definitely leaning into more horror,” she exclusively told Live From E!: Emmys host Laverne Cox at the Peacock Theater in downtown Los Angeles on Jan. 15. “It’s really, really exciting because all throughout the show, Wednesday does need a bit of an arc. She never really changes and that’s the wonderful thing about her.”

But that wasn’t all. Ortega was in a talkative mood and emphasized some more changes coming to the highly anticipated new season of Wednesday.

“There are some really, really good one liners,” Ortega added before noting that “everything’s bigger” and “more action-packed” in Season 2. “I think each episode will probably feel a little bit like a movie, which is nice.”

Wednesday Season 1 is available for streaming on Netflix.

Spaceman isn’t a spinoff series for Dr. Spaceman from 30 Rock, although someone please make that. It’s the new Adam Sandler movie.

Based on the novel Spaceman of Bohemia by author Jaroslav Kalfař, the Netflix film from Chernobyl director Johan Renck stars the Sandman (more like the Spaceman) as an astronaut on a deep space journey who thinks he’s losing his mind when he starts communicating with a talking spider, voiced by Paul Dano. Did I mention it’s not a comedy? Spaceman is a drama about loneliness. You can watch the trailer above.

Here’s the full synopsis:

Six months into a solitary research mission to the edge of the solar system, an astronaut, Jakub (Adam Sandler), realizes that the marriage he left behind might not be waiting for him when he returns to Earth. Desperate to fix things with his wife, Lenka (Carey Mulligan), he is helped by a mysterious creature from the beginning of time he finds hiding in the bowels of his ship. Hanuš (voiced by Paul Dano) works with Jakub to make sense of what went wrong before it is too late. Directed by Johan Renck and based on the novel Spaceman of Bohemia, the film also stars Kunal Nayyar, Lena Olin, and Isabella Rossellini.

Spaceman premieres on Netflix on March 1.

The 66th Annual Grammy Awards are coming right up, as the 2024 ceremony is set to go down on February 4 at 8 p.m. ET. Aside from seeing who ends up winning what awards (find the list of nominees here), the other main appeal of the broadcast is checking out the live performances.

Who is performing at the 2024 Grammy Awards?

The first wave of performers was announced yesterday (January 15), and it’s short and sweet, featuring Olivia Rodrigo, Dua Lipa, and Billie Eilish (all of whom previously won the Grammy for Best New Artist, coincidentally). More artists are set to be announced as the ceremony approaches.

Eilish and Rodrigo have a lot on the line this year, as they’re both nominated for six Grammys. Eilish’s Barbie hit “What Was I Made For?” is up for Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best Pop Solo Performance, Best Song Written For Visual Media, and Best Music Video, while her and Labrinth’s “Never Felt So Alone” is up for Best Pop Duo/Group Performance.

Rodrigo, meanwhile, is nominated for Album Of The Year, Best Pop Vocal Album (both for Guts), Record Of The Year, Song Of The Year, Best Pop Solo Performance (all for “Vampire”), and Best Rock Song (for “Ballad Of A Homeschooled Girl.”

Lipa’s Barbie song “Dance The Night” has a couple nods as well, for Song Of The Year and Best Song Written For Visual Media.

Heading into last night’s (January 15) Emmys, Elton John had a career full of wins at the Grammys, Oscars, and Tonys, but the Emmy Award, which would complete his EGOT, had eluded him. That changed yesterday, though, when his Farewell From Dodger Stadium concert special won the award for Best Variety Special (Live), making John just the 19th person to ever get an EGOT.

John was unable to attend the show since he was recovering from a knee surgery, but producer Ben Winston accepted the award on his behalf, saying (per The Hollywood Reporter), “He’s absolutely fine, but he wanted to send his love and thanks to the Television Academy for this incredible award. We did know this was going to be historic because it was going to win a man who has created the soundtrack to all of our lives. He’s done so much great for society, who is all of our heroes. We didn’t know that it was going to win him an EGOT.”

John also said in a statement, “I am incredibly humbled to be joining the unbelievably talented group of EGOT winners tonight. The journey to this moment has been filled with passion, dedication, and the unwavering support of my fans all around the world. Tonight is a testament to the power of the arts and the joy that it brings to all our lives. Thank you to everyone who has supported me throughout my career, I am incredibly grateful.”

The 18 EGOT winners before John, in chronological order, are Richard Rodgers, Helen Hayes, Rita Moreno, John Gielgud, Audrey Hepburn, Marvin Hamlisch, Jonathan Tunick, Mel Brooks, Mike Nichols, Whoopi Goldberg, Scott Rudin, Robert Lopez, Andrew Lloyd Webber, Tim Rice, John Legend, Alan Menken, Jennifer Hudson, and Viola Davis.

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia has been on for 16 seasons. Surely one of the greatest TV comedies of all-time has won at least a few Emmys, right? Nope: unlike the Nightman, the Emmys win has never cometh.

It’s Always Sunny has not only never won an Emmy – it’s never been nominated (Rhea Seehorn can relate). There’s an entire episode, season nine’s brilliant “The Gang Tries Desperately to Win an Award,” about it. Glenn Howerton, Rob McElhenney, Charlie Day, Kaitlin Olson, and Danny DeVito, a.k.a The Gang, never even appeared at an Emmys ceremony together until tonight, where they roasted their lack of recognition.

You can watch the video below:

(It’s true: DeVito won Outstanding Supporting Actor in a Comedy Series for Taxi in 1981.)

Howerton addressed Sunny‘s lack of Emmys love in a 2016 interview with IndieWire. “That episode was our way of saying it sucks and it hurts to not win an award, but we also don’t care, but we do, but we don’t because we know. Everybody knows. It’s just like winning a trophy, it shouldn’t be about that.” Day added, “It still feels like some sort of high school party that we’re perpetually not invited to.”

It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia — which is still great — will return for season 17.

At the recent Golden Globes ceremony, Succession‘s Kieran Culkin (already infamously) accepted his award (for Best Actor – Television Series Drama) while telling fellow nominee Pedro Pascal (of The Last Of Us) what he thought of the moment: “Suck it, Pedro.”

That was a total Roman Roy moment (although much kinder than that d*ck pic move from Succession itself, thank goodness) and went viral accordingly. Well, Pedro was ready for a bit of revenge at the Emmys. When he had the opportunity to take the mic, Pedro decided to tell everyone how he hurt his shoulder (not his arm): “Kieran Culkin beat the sh*t out of me.” Naturally, FOX bleeped out the profanity-laden sentence on the broadcast, but the S-bomb would not be kept down for long.

Now for the comparison reaction shot.

If you wanted to watch the “Suck it, Pedro” again, here you go.

Your move, Kieran Culkin. (Please keep this faux-feud going.)

Fortunately, the Emmys are going over far less awkwardly than the recent Globes ceremony. Awards season might finally be hitting its groove in 2024. Host Anthony Anderson is pulling off one of the more difficult gigs in the biz with much more to come in the broadcast.

The Memphis Grizzlies picked up a 116-107 win over the Golden State Warriors on Monday evening. Despite the team being in the midst of a, quite frankly, unbelievable injury crisis, Memphis defended its homecourt thanks in large part to the play of rookie forward GG Jackson.

A former 5-star recruit who spent one up-and-down year at South Carolina and went in the second round of the 2023 NBA Draft, Jackson has started to get a little more run as the injuries pile up in Memphis. Monday ended up being the best game of his young career, as he went for 23 points on 6-for-9 shooting with six rebounds, two blocks, two steals, and an assist. And after the game, Jackson got to talk to the Inside the NBA guys, which meant he got to talk to Shaquille O’Neal, which meant he got to geek out over Shaq praising him.

You could already tell that he was in a great mood — he called talking to them a “dream come true” — and then, at the 1:18 mark, Shaq chimes in and Jackson’s face just lights up.

“I don’t have any questions,” Shaq said. “I just wanna say congratulations, young fella. You’ve played a hell of a game. And if people didn’t know who you were, they know who you are now. I’m so proud of you, congratulations on being ready, brother.”

Charles Barkley then chimed in with a joke, which led to Shaq telling Chuck to count the rings. Jackson, who turned 19 less than a month ago, loved all of this, and honestly, if all of this happened to me when I was 19, I’d probably have the exact same reaction.
