Since then, she’s received five more Acting nominations, and of her six nominations in total, she’s won three Oscars. That is an undeniably strong track record, since another winner of three – Jack Nicholson – did so with 12 nominations in total.

You probably know the deal when it comes to Breaking Bad by now, right? It’s that show everyone loved toward the end of its run, say the early 2010s or so, and then its popularity hasn’t really waned since.

More than 20 years ago now, Lost kind of redefined what could be done on network TV, ironically not long before network TV itself kind of lost out to streaming, which took off in a big way during the 2010s.

If you're into movies and follow the art form beyond blockbuster territory, you’ve probably/hopefully that Alejandro González Iñárritu. He’s been an active filmmaker for more than a couple of decades now, and has made arguably some of the best films of the 21st century to date, and right from the start of his career as a feature film director, too. Amores perros (2000) was a remarkable feature debut, and was followed up by the also compelling 21 Grams (2003).
