Welcome to Awards Buzz Weekly, a new column covering the latest movies, TV shows, and other industry news. This week, there’s a lot to cover, including two new theatrical releases hitting a cinema near you.

Back in 2018, A Simple Favor surprised pretty much everyone, including director Paul Feig.

The 2025 SXSW Film and Television Festival is about to take over Austin, TX for the next ten days and as always, I am covering the event.

I love this festival because of the audiences and the fact that they are attending to just have fun.

I’m sitting here reading these new Oscar rules and I’m a little confused. Requiring voters watch the films that have been nominated seems like something that should have been instilled decades ago but my question is why not require voting members to watch all the films that have
Dear Hollywood, The success of Sinners is not a sign that Vampire movies are back and no, we do not need 100 more of them. It’s about letting talented filmmakers do their thing with a ridiculously talented cast and crew. #SinnersMovie #RyanCoogler
