Acting up on the red carpet! Modern AU Ed and Stede can't be serious when they're in front of the cameras. Stede is doing his best to give a leading man look but he's going to crack a grin any second now.

Still have no idea what these two good old fashioned lover boys do to end up on the red carpet together but they look so good who cares?

Reservation Dogs Season 2 Release Date: Is Season 2 Coming Soon To Hulu?

Reservation Dogs, developed by Sterlin Harjo and Taika Waititi and released on Hulu last summer, became a surprising smash. The adolescent drama was quickly distinguished by its brilliant ensemble and never-before-seen TV plots. Since it was revived in September of last year, fans have been yearning for more information about Season 2 of Reservation Dogs. Not only does the programme have devoted fans, but it has also been nominated for several prestigious prizes, including a Peabody Award, two Independent Spirit Awards, Golden Globes, and Critics' Choice Television Awards. Given that we left all of our characters at different crossroads, we must know what happens in Season 2 of Reservation Dogs. Who is returning for Reservation Dogs Season 2? Our four main protagonists will return to the series to complete their adventures. However, we have also heard that this season will include the appearance of several intriguing stars. The returning cast will be: - D’Pharaoh Woon-A-Tai as Bear - Devery Jacobs as Elora - Paulina Alexis as Willie Jack - Lane Factor as Cheese The trailer also reveals we will be seeing these recurring characters as well: Elva Guerra as Jackie Wes Studi as Bucky Lil Mike as Mose Funny Bone as Mekko Gary Farmer as Uncle Brownie Dallas Goldtooth as Spirit As the programme has featured fantastic recurring characters, such as Zahn McClarnon's Officer Big, we hope to see other cast members return. Additionally, Deadline reports that Megan Mullally and Marc Maron will appear. When Will the Second Season of Reservation Dogs Premiere? Hulu confirmed in July that the second season will be available for streaming on August 3, 2022. Harjo and his colleagues were already working on episodes when the first season debuted in August of last year. Before the release of season 1 of Reservation Dogs in August 2021, he told Tulsa World, "We're intending to begin writing episodes for the second season this autumn, so we think that's a very solid indicator that the programme will continue." It was always our plan for this to continue indefinitely. In the meanwhile, you may view all episodes of the first season of Reservation Dogs on Hulu. What will it be about? From the looks of the teaser, things are not going well for Elora and Jackie, and there are repercussions for everyone. Willie Jack is entrusted with breaking a "white wizard spell," Bear is struggling on the building site, and the subject of love is brought up on many occasions. It appears that everyone will finally be reunited. Jacobs told ELLE.com that she believes spectators would have a "broader perspective" of the characters' environment. This might even result in increased depictions of normal teenage life and weekend activities. "When I was growing up in my town, weekends were filled with drama, rivalry, flashiness, snagging, hooking up, and everything else," she added. We have merely scratched the surface of the world's many mysteries. In season 2, I'm excited to see more of this village and the environment in which these children are growing up." There is also a possibility that Bear's wannabe rapper father, Punkin (Sten Jodi), would return. (He has only appeared in episode 4 of season 1 thus far.) "He only appears in that episode , but will we see him again if Season 2 is produced? I have no doubt about that," Woon-A-Tai told TV Line. "Do I believe Punkin will visit Oklahoma? No, I do not believe so." Is there a trailer for Reservation Dogs Season 2? There is a trailer for Season 2 of Reservation Dogs. In it, we find Elora continue her voyage to California with rival gang member Jackie, while Bear, Cheese, and Willie Jack are stuck at home engaging in shenanigans and experiencing growing pains. Elora and Jackie see guest actress Megan Mullally along the way, but at one point they also appear to be photographed while sprinting down the street. We're also very certain we caught a glimpse of Elora and Bear reuniting; we can only hope! On July 29, 2022, another teaser titled "Wisdom from Spirit" was revealed. As Spirit delivers guidance, a visual montage of several situations plays out, concluding with, "I have no idea what that means, guy! I'm simply making things up as I go along." Who is Paulina Alexis in Reservation Dogs? On July 29, 2022, another teaser titled "Wisdom from Spirit" was revealed. As Spirit delivers guidance, a visual montage of several situations plays out, concluding with, "I have no idea what that means, guy! I'm simply making things up as I go along." Who is Willie Jack from Reservation Dogs? Willie Jack is one of the four major characters in Reservation Dogs. Paula Alexis, an actress, portrays the character. Willie Jack is the cousin of Daniel and the best buddy of Elora, Bear, and Cheese. She is a tomboy with a nonconformist disposition. Is Bill Burr in Reservation Dogs? Bill Burr did make an appearance in one episode of Reservation Dogs' first season. Seventh episode of the first season, "California Dreamin'" included his appearance. Burr portrayed Coach Bobson, Elora's former basketball coach and current driving teacher, with whom she has a particularly difficult day. It is unknown if Burr will reprise his part in the upcoming second season. Below is a video showing Burr in action. What happened with the owl in Reservation Dogs? In the third episode of the first season of Reservation Dogs, Elora, Bear, and Willie Jack visit Uncle Brownie to learn how to fight so that they may protect themselves from their enemies. When they get to his residence, though, they find a peculiar owl statue. The statue depicts an owl with its eyes obscured. Willie Jack yells as he sees an owl hanging outdoors "Ah, f**k! No way, not an owl! "Hey, that's not a good sign," the group exclaims as they protect their eyes and look away. According to Native writer and critic Victor Schilling, the owl's meaning derives from indigenous tradition. As the programme is the first on television to have a wholly Indigenous crew of writers, directors, and series regulars, it is neither shocking nor surprising, but rather a welcome reference to its heritage. Schilling described the owl as "a portent of doom." "to describe the group's response to it. Who are the Reservation Dogs twins? Lil Mike and FunnyBone, a Native American rap duo from Oklahoma, portray the twins in Reservation Dogs. Ironically, they are not identical twins, but rather brothers. The brothers first gained notoriety by participating on America's Got Talent. Lil Mike represents Mose and FunnyBone portrays Mekko in the episode. On a case of life imitating art (or perhaps vice versa), the twins are a rap combo in the show. The two are well-known for their humorous and occasionally perceptive comments on local happenings while riding their bicycles about town. The move from rap to acting was quite challenging for the duo, with Mike stating, "The acting was really different for us. We would memorise our lines, but when we arrived on set, they would alter them. However, we adapted to it. Sometimes when you're filming, you'll improvise and say something you think is amusing, and everyone will laugh, but it will be cut. However, it appears the duo has found its footing, as Bone stated, "We have learned that we are naturals in front of the camera." Such humility! Summary Reservation Dogs Season 2 will be released in 2022. All episodes of the first season were released on Hulu last summer. The second season will be available for streaming on August 3, 2022. Additional cast members such as Megan Mullally and Marc Maron are expected to appear. There is a trailer for Season 2 of Reservation Dogs.

I can't (and won't) get the peach Independent Spirit suit out of my head, and I needed to get an AU Ed into it (and his cleavage back out of it).

I haven't fully figured out this AU but Ed is a knockout on every red carpet he graces.

New from Every Movie Has a Lesson by Don Shanahan: OSCAR PREDICTIONS 2020: The writing and directing awards

(Image: hypable.com)

PART 4: THE WRITING AND DIRECTING AWARDS

The short turnaround 92nd Academy Awards arrive host-free for the second consecutive year on Sunday, February 9th, barely a month after nominations were announced. The pace has added excitement and urgency right on down to my website’s 2020 Awards Tracker. Let’s start calling some winners. This column examines the writing and directing categories. As I say every year, stick with me and I will win you your Oscar pool!

BEST ORIGINAL SCREENPLAY

The nominees: Rian Johnson for Knives Out, Noah Baumbach for Marriage Story, Sam Mendes and Krysty Wilson-Cairns for 1917, Quentin Tarantino for Once Upon a Tim… in Hollywood, Bong Joon-Ho and Han Jin-Won for Parasite

Who should be here: Very good cases could be made for Josh Sadfie, Benny Sadfie, and Ronald Bronstein for Uncut Gems, Lulu Wang for The Farewell, Lena Waithe for Queen & Slim, and the four-woman team behind Booksmart in this category, but, if you’ haven’t been able to figure out already, the Oscars are not giving much love to independent film. The big studio shingles and deep-pocketed spenders of all the “For Your Consideration” marketing are winning all of the nomination slots. I don’t like it, but that’s the reality. Those four damn good movies will have to enjoy the Independent Spirit Awards the night before.

Who should feel lucky to be there: It may be the Best Picture frontrunner, but 1917 is the weakest selection of this category. Not every winner has to come from a dialogue-driven movie, but Mendes and Cairns have not won a single screenplay award all season. This inclusion reeks of the blanket treatment for a frontrunner.

Who should win: For me, this is the hardest category of top-level quality of the night. If I could split this award in three places, I would. Rian Johnson’s Knives Out was a deft reinvention of murder mystery stylings and Noah Baumbach his a new personal peak with Marriage Story. Both are under-loved films during this Oscar campaign and I would spread the wealth if I could.

Who will win: However, the smartest and most cunning movie of the year will ascend to win. It is the creative and compelling storytelling from Parasite that is blowing people away more than the acting and the visuals. If Bong Joon-ho will not win Best Director or Best Picture, this is the icing on the cake place to award the Korean film with a second statuette after Best International Feature Film. I think the favor for it is there.

BEST ADAPTED SCREENPLAY

The nominees: Steve Zaillian for The Irishman, Taika Waititi for Jojo Rabbit, Todd Phillips and Scott Silver for Joker, Greta Gerwig for Little Women, Anthony McCarten for The Two Popes

Who should be here: Once again, I’ll dive to the indie level and say J.C. Lee and Julius Onah should have gotten attention for Luce. That searing thriller is smarter and denser than a few of these nominees.

Who should feel lucky to be there: Both The Two Popes and Joker should be happy to have a nomination here. The Joker nomination feels like the same frontrunner stat-padding 1917 got. Other than using an existing character, there’s really not a true adaptation going on anyway. For The Two Popes, that’s the Academy’s hat-tip to the prim, proper, and traditional.

Who should win: This is going to be a close race. The same senior set that honored Green Book keeps Scorsese and The Irishman’s dreams alive with awards attention. Zaillian has won the second most lead-up awards in this category. At the same time, the industry love for all things Taika Waititi is very thick and he just won the Writers Guild of America and BAFTA awards. He would be an extremely deserving winner.

Who will win: Meanwhile, I’m piling hopes and prayers for an Oscar statement to be made. With the massive pushback towards the Academy’s lack of including deserving female filmmakers in the next category, I think this is the place they do something about it. I’m betting the support is present to give this award to Greta Gerwig for Little Women. It is the most honored adapted screenplay all season and it deserves to finish on top, not out of pity, but out of quality and impact.

BEST DIRECTOR

The nominees: Martin Scorsese for The Irishman, Todd Phillips for Joker, Sam Mendes for 1917, Quentin Tarantino for Once Upon a Time… in Hollywood, Bong Joon-ho for Parasite

Who should be here: Folks, this is not a snowflake rant or a social justice warrior soapbox. There were truly legitimate women filmmakers who should have been in this field. Leading the way is Greta Gerwig for Little Women. A Best Picture and Best Original Screenplay contender doesn’t direct itself.

Who should feel lucky to be there: I’ll be the jerk that says the two more revered names on the list shouldn’t be here for their effusive and pedestrian efforts. Martin Scorsese regurgitated a “greatest hits” album of old standards for The Irishman. While he is extremely good at signing his signature, that’s not a challenge worthy of this award. The same can be said Quentin Tarantino. Sure, Once Upon a Time…In Hollywood juggle stars in a more morose fairy tale than his usual panache, but I can’t call that special for the top filmmaker prize of the night either. Get them out of here.

Who should win and will win: Bong Joon-ho has a fighting chance at an upset here, but he’s getting his all night if he scores in screenplay and foreign film. The sheer technical and artistic fortitude demonstrated by Sam Mendes and the (fine, go ahead) gimmick of 1917 wows for a reason. This is a technician’s win and I couldn’t be more OK with that. Sometimes, talent beats sentiment. Mendes has won the Directors Guild of America Awards, the Golden Globe, and the BAFTA on this hot streak. He’s going all the way.

NEXT: The female acting awards!
