Gold Derby

Gold Derby, the original awards platform in Hollywood, was established in 2000 by Tom O’Neil, a renowned expert in awards and the author of notable books like “Movie Awards,” “The Emmys,” and “The Grammys” (published by Penguin Putnam). In 2005, the site was licensed to the Los Angeles Times and became part of their new awards initiative, TheEnvelope, where Gold Derby transformed into a blog and its message boards found a new home. In November 2010, O’Neil regained ownership of Gold Derby and relaunched it as an independent site, separate from the Times. By July 2015, Gold Derby was acquired by Penske Media Corporation, which also owns Variety, Deadline, TV Line, and WWD.

Marvel’s ‘Ironheart’ reviews: Critics love Dominique Thorne — the show she’s in, not so much

3 days ago | goldderby.com | Ethan Alter

After a sleepy 2024 when Deadpool and Wolverine were the only ones stirring in the Marvel multiverse, Marvel Studios has kicked back into high gear over the past few months. Captain America: Brave New World led the way in February, followed by Thunderbolts* in May. Critics praised the latter, but the former... not so much. Now, Ironheart is seeking to keep that momentum going on Disney+ as the studio gears up for The Fantastic Four: First Steps at the end of July.

Why ‘Elio’ sank at the box office — and why it could take a cue from ‘Elemental’ and rise again

4 days ago | goldderby.com | Ethan Alter

Alas, poor Elio — we knew you... kind of. Pixar's latest original animated feature failed to soar to galactic box-office heights during its opening weekend, instead falling back to Earth with the lowest bow in the studio's history. The sci-fi family comedy barely cleared the $20 million hurdle, landing at $21 million behind the $30 million posted by Danny Boyle's zombie picture 28 Years Later and the $37 million nabbed by last week's repeat champ, How to Train Your Dragon.

‘Adolescence’ Emmy odds: How many nominations will the show get?

4 days ago | goldderby.com | Debra Birnbaum

The British are coming — for that limited-series crown. On paper, Adolescence may well have seemed an awards long shot: No A-list stars. No special effects. And no real mystery — the whodunit, after all, was solved in the first 30 minutes. But the whydunit proved to be the irresistible hook — and both critics and viewers took notice, driving Adolescence to the No. 2 spot on Netflix's all-time viewing charts and with a near-perfect 99 percent Rotten Tomatoes score.
