Outlander “ Not Fans” speculating on Season 6 cancellation

Anonymous asked:

“I think they're terrified of announcing cancelation whenever they eventually cancel. The mommies and stans will meltdown, the save campaigns will be next level cringe and they'll be harassed to their dying day. Along with every other network that will be tortured by fans to pick it up. Is it too early to get the popcorn fixins out?”

latinaoutlanderfan said: The actors and all associated with this show have gaslighted, berated and thrown fans under the bus. They have become a joke. As far As the show everyone expects at least to do justice to the books. And they couldn’t even garner constructive criticism, people hoped and waited, and they threw a mediocre show trying to pass it as some gold standard. No it’s a mediocre show. Mediocrity should get cancelled , and if they do cancel just enough truthful for once! Don’t keep the few fans hopes up, when

You might ask: why are these people still obsessed about the Outlander TV show when they so evidently hate it? Why do they bitch on and on about Sam and Cait when they claim they can’t stand them? Why do they pursue their vendetta year after year after year? Why would normal people relish the cancellation of a show that has given such pleasure to so many people? 

I believe all this negativity is from sad people whose sole recreational activity is to see if they and their e-pals can provoke a reaction from the people they hurt, what with their constant attacks on the show and the actors, and then have a good laugh at the expense of Outlander’s fans around the globe. ‘See how superior WE are to all those gullible people who still stan Sam and Cait, those stupid people who look forward to each new Outlander season’

These people do love to boast about their cleverness and their intellectual achievements. Not that they are envious, of course, but what really upsets them is that, thanks to Outlander, Sam and Cait are now...OMG...rich! Whereas they..despite their college degrees...have fallen behind, or failed,  in love, or  in life. Whilst Sam and Cait - as you can tell from the BTS scenes - so obviously live life to the full, and are happy in their jobs. It’s so unfair!

 And so the Not-fans  resort to competitive bitching, something they can really excel at (indeed, perhaps the ONLY thing they are good at).

You only have to look at their ‘followers’ on Tumblr,it’s the same 25-30 people every time. It’s like a club, Bitches anonymous. You win points, or membership, if you can say something extra specially nasty; today about Outlander and its stars, tomorrow another much-loved TV show. Why not concoct an anonymonus message you can send to yourself? Bonus kudos if you can provoke a response from the stars themselves! Then claim they have been ‘rude’ to you, or ‘gaslit’ you, because even the bitchiest bitch, when she looks in the mirror and see the bitch she has become, needs to justify her actions to herself. 

Tragic, sad, sad people.

Video 📹 where Caitríona mentioned Geena Davis during the ATX TV Festival Outlander panel

By Chris Colin

Published May 25, 2023

Updated May 28, 2023

“Transforming Spaces” is a series about women driving change in sometimes unexpected places.

Geena Davis and her family were returning from dinner in their small Massachusetts town when her great-uncle Jack, 99, began drifting into the oncoming lane of traffic. Ms. Davis was about 8, flanked by her parents in the back seat. Politeness suffused the car, the family, maybe the era, and nobody remarked on what was happening, even when another car appeared in the distance, speeding toward them.

Finally, moments before impact, Ms. Davis’s grandmother issued a gentle suggestion from the passenger seat: “A little to the right, Jack.” They missed by inches.

Ms. Davis, 67, relayed this story in her 2022 memoir, “Dying of Politeness,” an encapsulation of the genially stultifying values that she had absorbed as a child — and that a great many other girls absorb, too: Defer. Go along to get along. Everything’s fine.

Of course the Academy Award-winning actress ditched that pliability long ago. From “Thelma & Louise” and “A League of Their Own” to this year’s coming-of-age drama, “Fairyland,” back-seat docility just wasn’t an option. Indeed, self-possession was her thing. (Or one of her things. Few profiles have failed to mention her Mensa membership, her fluency in Swedish or her Olympic-caliber archery prowess.) But cultivating her own audaciousness was only Phase 1.

Next year will mark two decades since the creation of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media. When her daughter was a toddler, Ms. Davis couldn’t help noticing that male characters vastly outnumbered female characters in children’s TV and movies.

“I knew everything is completely imbalanced in the world,” she said recently. But this was the realm of make-believe; why shouldn’t it be 50/50?

It wasn’t just the numbers. How the women were represented, their aspirations, the way young girls were sexualized: Across children’s programming, Ms. Davis saw a bewilderingly warped vision of reality being beamed into impressionable minds. Long before “diversity, equity and inclusion” would enter the lexicon, she began mentioning this gender schism whenever she had an industry meeting.

“Everyone said, ‘No, no, no — it used to be like that, but it’s been fixed,’” she said. “I started to wonder, What if I got the data to prove that I’m right about this?”

Amid Hollywood’s trumpeted causes, Ms. Davis made it her mission to quietly harvest data. Exactly how bad is that schism? In what other ways does it play out? Beyond gender, who else is being marginalized? In lieu of speechifying and ribbons, and with sponsors ranging from Google to Hulu, Ms. Davis’s team of researchers began producing receipts.

Ms. Davis wasn’t the first to highlight disparities in popular entertainment. But by leveraging her reputation and resources — and by blasting technology at the problem — she made a hazy truth concrete and offered offenders a discreet path toward redemption. (While the institute first focused on gender data, its analyses now extend to race/ethnicity, L.G.B.T.Q.I.A.+, disability, age 50-plus and body type. Random awful finding: Overweight characters are more than twice as likely to be violent.)

Even when braced for it, the institute’s findings are staggering: In the 101 top-grossing G-rated films from 1990 to 2005, just 28 percent of speaking characters were female. Even in crowd scenes — even in animated crowd scenes — male characters vastly outnumber female ones. In the 56 top grossing films of 2018, women portrayed in positions of leadership were four times more likely than men to be shown naked. (The bodies of 15 percent of them were filmed in slow motion.) Where a century ago women had been fully central to the budding film industry, they were now a quantifiable, if sexy, afterthought.

“When she started to collect the data, it was kind of incredible,” said Hillary Hallett, a professor of American studies at Columbia University and the author of “Go West, Young Women! The Rise of Early Hollywood.” “This wasn’t a vague feeling anymore. You couldn’t claim this was just some feminist rant. It was like, ‘Look at these numbers.’”

Ms. Davis is by turns reserved and goofy offscreen — a thoughtful responder, an unbridled guffawer. (At one point she enunciated the word “acting” so theatrically that she feared it would be hard to spell in this article.) On a recent afternoon in Los Angeles, she took a break from illustrating the children’s book she had written, “The Girl Who Was Too Big for the Page.”

“I grew up very self-conscious about being the tallest kid — not just the tallest girl — in my class,” she said. “I had this childhood-long wish to take up less space in the world.”

In time she began to look beyond her height — six feet — to the insidious messages reinforcing such insecurity.

“Hollywood creates our cultural narrative — its biases trickle down to the rest of the world,” she said in “This Changes Everything,” the 2018 documentary she produced about gender inequity in the film industry. The documentary takes its name from the incessant refrain she kept hearing after the success of “Thelma & Louise,” and later “A League of Their Own.” Finally the power and profitability of female-centric movies had been proven — this changes everything! And then, year after year, nothing.

It was here that Ms. Davis planted her stake in the ground — a contention around why certain injustices persist, and how best to combat them. Where movements like #MeToo and Times Up target deliberate acts of monstrosity, hers would be the squishier universe of unconscious bias. Did you unthinkingly cast that doctor as a male? Hire that straight white director because he shares your background? Thought you were diversifying your film, only to reinforce old stereotypes? (Fiery Latina, anyone?)

It’s a dogged optimism that powers Ms. Davis’s activism — a faith that Hollywood can reform voluntarily. When she goes to a meeting now, she’s armed with her team’s latest research, and with conviction that improvement will follow.

“Our theory of change relies on the content creators to do good,” said Madeline Di Nonno, the president and the chief executive of the institute. “As Geena says, we never shame and blame. You have to pick your lane, and ours has always been, ‘We collaborate with you and want you to do better.’”

If a car full of polite Davises can awaken to oncoming danger, perhaps filmmakers can come to see the harm they’re perpetuating.

“Everyone isn’t out there necessarily trying to screw women or screw Black people,” said Franklin Leonard, a film and television producer and founder of the Black List, a popular platform for screenplays that have not been produced. “But the choices they make definitely have that consequence, regardless of what they believe about their intent.”

He added: “It’s not something people are necessarily aware of. And there’s no paper trail — it can only be revealed in aggregate. Which gets to the value of Geena’s work.”

“Hollywood creates our cultural narrative— its biases trickle down to the rest of the world,” Ms Davis said in This Changes Everything, the 2018 documentary she produced about gender inequity in the film industry. Magdalena Wosinska for The New York Times

Unique to the institute’s efforts is its partnership with the University of Southern California’s Signal Analysis and Interpretation Laboratory, which uses software and machine learning to analyze scripts and other media. One tool born of that collaboration, Spellcheck for Bias, employs AI to scan scripts for stereotypes and other problematic choices. (Janine Jones-Clark, the executive vice president for inclusion for NBCUniversal’s global talent development and inclusion team, recalled a scene in a television show in which a person of color seemed to be acting in a threatening manner toward another character. Once flagged by the software, the scene was reshot.)

Still, progress has been mixed. In 2019 and 2020, the institute reported that gender parity for female lead characters had been achieved in the 100 highest-grossing family films and in the top Nielsen-rated children’s television shows. Nearly 70 percent of industry executives familiar with the institute’s research made changes to at least two projects.

But women represented just 18 percent of directors working on the top 250 films of 2022, up only 1 percent from 2021, according to the Center for the Study of Women in Television and Film; the percentage of major Asian and Asian American female characters fell from 10 percent in 2021 to under 7 percent in 2022. A 2021 McKinsey report showed that 92 percent of film executives were white — less diverse than Donald Trump’s cabinet at the time, as Mr. Leonard of the Black List noted.

“I think the industry is more resistant to change than anybody realizes,” he added. “So I’m incredibly appreciative of anyone — and especially someone with Geena’s background — doing the non-glamorous stuff of trying to change it, being in the trenches with Excel spreadsheets.”

Ms. Davis has not quit her day job. (Coming soon: a role in “Pussy Island,” a thriller from Zoe Kravitz in her directorial debut.) But acting shares a billing with her books, the diversity-focused Bentonville Film Festival she started in Arkansas in 2015 — even the roller coasters she rides for equity. (Yes, Thelma is now Disney’s gender consultant for its theme parks and resorts.)

“We’re definitely heading in the right direction,” she said. “Bill Gates called himself an impatient optimist, and that feels pretty good for what I am.”

A correction was made on May 26, 2023: An earlier version of this article misspelled the surname of the president and chief executive of the Geena Davis Institute on Gender in Media. She is Madeline Di Nonno, not Di Donno. The error was repeated in a photo caption.

A correction was made on May 28, 2023: An earlier version of this article incorrectly stated the number of Academy Awards Ms. Davis received. She won one Oscar for her supporting performance in “The Accidental Tourist,” and was nominated for a second Academy Award for “Thelma & Louise.”

Caitríona Balfe has already received a Best Supporting Actress BAFTA nomination for role in Belfast

'Whatever happens, she'll still be Caitríona' - Monaghan actress tipped for Oscar nomination

It is a long way from the Drumlins of Co Monaghan to the Hills of Hollywood, but Caitríona Balfe has made that journey and is now tipped to get an Oscar nomination for her role as 'Ma' in Belfast.

Nominations will be announced tomorrow.

The former model and proud Monaghan woman has had a whirlwind few months with the success of the Kenneth Branagh directed film, Belfast, which is based on the Troubles.

Only last week the 42-year-old received a BAFTA nomination for Best Supporting Actress in the movie.

"We’re so proud of her and she's worked so hard. She started in Dublin, went to Paris, then London and then on to New York," explained her mother Anne.

"Growing up, she never talked about acting. But she was always taking off people. She used to do a great impression of Margaret Thatcher," said her father Jim.

"She also did a good impression of the MEP, Mairead McGuinness," Anne said.

Caitríona enjoyed school and like many teenagers her age made the annual summer trip to the Gaeltacht where she made lots of new friends.

"She did a lot of singing, drama and dancing there. I found a notebook a few years back, which I shouldn't have got rid of and some young lad said, you’ll make a great actor or model in the future, and I got rid of when I was throwing out old stuff," said Anne.

Caitríona went to secondary school at Beech Hill College in Monaghan. She was involved in cross country running.

Her parents said while she was good at school, she was a "scamp at the same time" and kept them on their toes.

"We are so proud of her and we wish her continued success. I’ve seen the movie Belfast and I hope some day she’ll come visit us here," said Tony McHugh, Assistant Principal of Beech Hill College.

Anne Costello was Caitríona's art teacher. She recalls an enthusiastic and bubbly teenager.

"She was always very confident and so talented. She had such potential, so I’m not surprised she’s done so well. We’re delighted to see it," said Ms Costello.

"We’re really proud of her. It’s great for our students to see and this will really motivate them," said Mary Gill, another former teacher of Caitríona’s.

Caitríona has had massive success with the hit series Outlander - where she plays Claire Fraser - a historical TV drama which is huge in the US and in Australia.

"Since she started acting, she’s worked hard. She does a lot of preparation. The first year she was doing Outlander, she was living in Scotland, she didn’t know anyone except for the cast and crew. Work, eat and prepare for the next day, that was it for the first 12 months. So, she has put in the hard work, and it pays off," explained her mother.

The success of the film Belfast, which is set during the Troubles, has got everyone talking. Directed by Kenneth Branagh, it also stars Jamie Dornan, Judie Dench, Ciarán Hinds and 12-year-old Jude Hill.

"She doesn’t get carried away. She has her baby and her husband, Tony and they’re number one," her dad said.

'Belfast' director, Kenneth Branagh

The film, which is in Irish cinemas now, is seen through the eyes of a child and tells the story of a difficult time in Irish history. There’s much hype about it with lots of talk about Oscar nominations.

"We were talking to her last week and she’s so busy. She had ten different journalists from several different countries all doing interviews with her one day. She was worn out from it," said her dad.

"Although she's sitting at a pool now and it’s 23 degrees, so it's not too bad," he laughs.

"When she was home in November, we talked about it. If it comes well and good, and if it doesn’t, what about it," said Jim.

"Even the possibility of it, it's a big thing," said Anne.

"Whatever happens, she'll still be Caitríona, and we'll be glad to see her the next time she gets home," she added.

Remember… I was lucky enough to go to an integrated school, that was the benefit of being middle-class. But I've never known sectarianism and I'm so glad that I haven't. Still, only something like 5% of schools in Northern Ireland are integrated and that should be so much higher because it has to start with our young people. — Jamie Dornan at the Belfast premiere in Belfast, 4 November 2021

American Cinema Editors (ACE)

The 72nd ACE Eddie Award nominations, which celebrate editing across film and television, announced their nominees this morning and, as was with PGA an hour earlier, not without some big surprises.

In feature film there are two categories, drama and comedy (the musical distinction was eliminated from comedy) and in drama we have Belfast, Dune, King Richard, No Time to Die and The Power of the Dog. West Side Story, which was submitted here, is the big miss. For comedy the nominees are: Cruella, Don’t Look Up, The French Dispatch, Licorice Pizza and tick, tick…BOOM! The choice to submit that film over in comedy proved to be a shrewd one as Netflix earned three feature film nominations as a result.

For television, several shows earned double nominations, including Succession, Ted Lasso, Curb Your Enthusiasm, Mare of Easttown and The White Lotus. Kevin Can F**k Himself earned all three slots for the multi-camera comedy series category. Big snubs here include The Underground Railroad in limited series.

The ACE Golden Eddie Award will go to the Sundance Institute.

The ACE Golden Eddie Award traditionally recognizes a filmmaker who exemplifies distinguished achievement in the art and business of film but ACE broke tradition for the first time in its history this year by recognizing a film organization. “This year the ACE Board voted to honor an entity rather than an individual,” stated ACE president Kevin Tent. “Since 1981, the Sundance Institute has launched some of the most talented and vital voices in global film. Having just celebrated their 40-year anniversary, the Sundance Institute’s impact on our art and industry is immeasurable. ACE is proud to recognize their extraordinary contributions to cinema.”

Founding Senior Director, Artist Programs Michelle Satter, will accept the honor on behalf of the Sundance Institute.

Past recipients of the Golden Eddie include Quentin Tarantino, Kathleen Kennedy, Christopher Nolan, Lauren Shuler Donner, Guillermo del Toro, Spike Lee, Vince Gilligan, J.J. Abrams, Nancy Meyers, Martin Scorsese, Norman Jewison, Robert Zemeckis and George Lucas, among many other accomplished filmmakers.

Veteran film editors Lillian E. Benson, ACE and Richard Chew, ACE will receive Career Achievement Awards for their outstanding contributions to film editing. Benson was the first woman of color invited to join American Cinema Editors just over thirty years ago and has served on its Board of Directors for over two decades.

Chew’s body of work is punctuated with some of the most iconic films in history including Milos Forman’s One Flew Over the Cuckoo’s Nest, (for which he shared the BAFTA Award), Francis Ford Coppola’s The Conversation, (for which he shared another BAFTA Award) and Star Wars (for which he won the Oscar for Best Film Editing with his co-editors Marcia Lucas and Paul Hirsch, ACE).

“Lillian and Richard are rock star editors and represent the very best of our craft and profession,” stated ACE president Kevin Tent, ACE. “Just look at those credits! Not only have they had incredibly prolific careers, but they’ve given back to our community in many ways, not the least of which by mentoring the next generation of editors. We are thrilled to honor these two special editors and look back at their amazing careers.”

Past recipients of the ACE Career Achievement Award include Alan Heim, ACE, Thelma Schoonmaker, ACE, Dede Allen, ACE, Janet Ashikaga, ACE, Craig Mckay, ACE, Margaret Booth, ACE, Carol Littleton, ACE, John Soh, ACE, Mark Goldblatt, ACE and Leon Ortiz-Gil, ACE, among many others.

The Anne V. Coates Award for Student editing will be announced later.

The 72nd Annual ACE Eddie Awards will be an a 50% capacity in-person event held on Saturday, March 5, 2022 at the Theater at the ACE Hotel, with an after-party to be held at the historic Clifton’s Republic.

Sunday’s Golden Globes ceremony will be unprecedented in more ways than one. The Hollywood Reporter has confirmed that there will be no live stream available for the event. A rep for HFPA said in a statement, “This year’s event is going to be a private event and will not be live-streamed. We will be providing real-time updates on winners on the Golden Globes website and our social media.”

The news comes on the heels of Tuesday’s reveal that the ceremony would not feature a red carpet, celebrity guests, industry insiders or the typical hoopla and bustling afterparty scene inside the Beverly Hilton Hotel that has come to define the Golden Globes for years. The 79th Golden Globe Awards instead will highlight the philanthropic efforts of the organization with winners announced intermittently throughout a 90-minute gathering at the Beverly Hilton, the HFPA confirmed.

Nominees for this year’s show were announced on Dec. 13 by celebrity presenter Snoop Dogg along with HFPA president Helen Hoehne. Hoehne reiterated that morning that her peers had done “the work” in overhauling the organization and instituting reforms and inclusion and diversity initiatives after an industry outcry and boycott was spurred by a Los Angeles Times investigation. They still had yet to confirm plans for the show which finds itself up against record cases of COVID-19 in Los Angeles amid the omicrant variant.

The ceremony will still be held in Beverly Hilton’s International Ballroom where HFPA grantees and Kyle Bowser, senior vp NAACP Hollywood Bureau, will discuss their collaborations while awards are announced and grant partners are given a chance to take a spin in the spotlight for what will be a captive and closed audience.

HFPA announces stripped down version of the 79th Golden Globe Awards

With less than a week to go, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA), who put on the annual Golden Globe Awards, have announced what this weekend’s ceremony will look like or more importantly, what it won’t look like.

Winners of the 79th Annual Golden Globe Awards will be revealed on January 9, 2022, from the Beverly Hilton at 6 p.m. PT. In addition to recognizing 2021’s best in film and television, the Golden Globe Awards will shine a light on their philanthropy work, showcasing a range of grantees during the program. Nominations for film and television can be found here.

After a yearlong battle with publicists, talent and Hollywood itself over the Hollywood Foreign Press’s lack of Black members and transparency, as well as their well-recorded history of accepting extravagant gifts and trips from studios and networks finally catching up with them, NBC announced they would refuse to telecast this year’s ceremony until dramatic changes were made within the organization.

Over the last eight months, the HFPA has overhauled its bylaws, implementing sweeping changes from top to bottom addressing ethics and code of conduct, diversity, equity and inclusion, governance, membership and more. In October, the HFPA admitted its largest and most diverse class to date with 21 new journalists, all of whom were first-time Golden Globe voters. But, in a letter released by Variety earlier today, it was revealed that no celebrities or talent had agreed to appear on the show in any form. A full list of the HFPA’s reforms can be found here.

Because of the current pandemic surge, there will not be an audience on January 9th, only select HFPA members and philanthropy grantees will be in the room. There will be no red carpet and media credential requests for the event will not be accepted, the org said. Among the precautions that are being taken for select members and grantees include proof of vaccination and booster shot, along with a negative PCR test within 48 hours plus, guests will be masked and socially distanced at all times while inside the ballroom.

During the program, Kyle Bowser, Senior Vice President of the NAACP Hollywood Bureau, will further discuss the “Reimagine Coalition,��� a joint five-year initiative to increase diversity, equity and inclusion across the global entertainment industry. Each year the HFPA and the NAACP Hollywood Bureau will collaborate on, fund, and support a series of trailblazing initiatives, with the overall goals of ensuring visibility of projects from artists of diverse racial and ethnic backgrounds; increasing diverse representation in the industry; and building pathways to inclusion for young artists and journalists of color.

“Over the past 25 years, the HFPA has donated $50 million to more than 70 entertainment-related charities, film restoration, scholarship programs and humanitarian efforts; incredibly impactful organizations, many of whom were hit hard over the last two years as a result of the pandemic,” the org said.

It is still unknown whether there will be a livestream of the event as the HFPA did with the nomination announcement or if the winners will be announced on social media.
