This is a very big year for Benicio Del Toro and, trust, Benicio Del Toro has had a lot of big years. An Oscar winner for 2000’s “Traffic,” the Puerto Rican-born actor has worked with filmmakers such as Peter Weir, Terry Gilliam, Alejandro González Iñárritu, Sofia Coppola, Denis Villeneuve, and Rian Johnson, among others, over a remarkable 30+ year career.

The 97th Oscars made history in multiple ways. Sure, thanks to Adrien Brody, it had, arguably, the longest acceptance speech in history, but it also shocked many by taking a ratings jump from 2024. A year that had the double pop culture hit of “Barbie” and “Oppenheimer” to fuel viewership. Perhaps it was a fresh face as emcee, Conan O’Brien, or the power of “Wicked,” but executive producers Katy Mullan and Raj Kapoor effectively knocked it out of the park.

In just a few short years, Joe Locke has had a life-changing career. His first professional acting role was in “Heartstopper,” which went from potentially being a nice little gem of a show on Netflix primarily intended for a UK audience to a global phenomenon. Not long after “Heartstopper’s” first season dropped, he was cast in the pivotal role of Billy Maximoff, the Scarlet Witch’s son (it’s confusing, I know) in Jac Schaffer’s “Agatha All Along,” and a lifelong “nerd’s” dream came true.

A month ago, before a sojourn to the South of France, we caught up with two of the main creative producers behind “The Traitors,” Sam Rees-Jones and Mike Cotton. It was part of a week of back-to-back interviews that will unspool over the next few weeks, and, frankly, we forgot how potent it was. The Alan Cumming-hosted series exploded in popularity in its third season after a breakout second go-around, which won the Reality Competition Series Emmy Award last September.

Once again, the demise of the theatrical exhibition business has been greatly exaggerated. This weekend, two new films helped propel the Memorial Day Weekend box office to its highest domestic gross in history. Walt Disney Studios’ “Lilo & Stitch” earned $183 million while “Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning” took in $77 million in the U.S. That propelled the four-day frame to an estimated record $325.6 million tally.
