Award Shows

Martin Short had a difficult last week ... and decided it was best if he didn't attend the Actors Awards Sunday.

The veteran actor was up for the Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Comedy Series -- an award he won last year -- for "Only Murders in the Building ... but, he was the only one of the five nominees not at the ceremony in Los Angeles.

Seth Rogen ended up taking the trophy anyway ... but, it seems clear Martin skipped the ceremony because his daughter, Katherine, passed away last week.

The SAG Awards may have a new name ... but stars are bringing the same old elegant fashion to the 32nd edition's red carpet!

Emma Stone stunned in a sleek pink dress with a matching coat slung over her shoulders ... while Demi Moore peacocked in a black cocktail dress adorned with a big plume of feathers. Michael B. Jordan channeled Smoke (or maybe Stack?) in a three-piece suit while waiting to hear if he'll win an award for "Sinners."

Sheryl Lee Ralph and Dove Cameron stunned in classic black and white outfits ... while Mia Goth opted for a bit more color in a shimmering marron ensemble.

Hollywood's A-list got an early jump on SAG Awards weekend Saturday night ... lighting up the 37th Annual Producers Guild Awards at the Fairmont Century Plaza in Century City.

The backstage scene was packed with heavy hitters, including Timothée Chalamet, Teyana Taylor, Kate Hudson, Emma Stone, William H. Macy, Elle Fanning, Seth Rogen, Mariska Hargitay, Paul Mescal, Michael Keaton, Greta Gerwig, Claire Danes, Regina Hall and Adam Scott, just to name a few.

Also spotted mixing and mingling were Odessa A’zion, Jessie Buckley, and Jason Ritter.

Delroy Lindo is addressing the racial slur that was heard during the BAFTA Film Awards last weekend while he and Michael B. Jordan were presenting onstage.

As we reported ... a man identified as Tourette's syndrome advocate John Davidson shouted a racial slur from the audience last Sunday while Lindo and Jordan were at the podium. The remark was picked up on the live broadcast and immediately sparked outrage.

Davidson later said the outburst was the result of his Tourette's syndrome.

Kelly Osbourne is firing back at critics who took aim at her appearance after she stepped out at the BRIT Awards ... making it crystal clear she's not here for the body commentary.

Kelly hit Instagram shortly after the ceremony -- where she joined her mom, Sharon Osbourne, to honor her late father, Ozzy Osbourne. Instead of focusing on the emotional tribute, online trolls zeroed in on Kelly's noticeably slimmer frame ... and she says the cruelty crossed a line.

In a scathing statement, Kelly blasted what she described as a "special kind of cruelty," calling out people who felt entitled to dissect her body while she's grieving. She said she shouldn't have to defend herself or explain her appearance to strangers on the Internet, but made it clear she won't tolerate being dehumanized.

Deon Cole had the crowd cracking up during his opening bit at the NAACP Image Awards over the weekend, where he took aim at Nicki Minaj in a mock prayer that quickly went off the rails.

Cole began the bit Saturday night by saying, "Lord, we want you to bless our sister, Nicki Minaj," before suggesting she's "been going through a lot lately" and "hasn't been herself." Then he dropped the punchline ... joking that whatever's "in her ass is affecting her brain" and asking the Lord to "take it out."

Cameras caught audience members laughing and smiling as Cole delivered the joke preacher style, fully committing to the bit during what many online are already calling a controversial opening segment.

And the award for Best Drama goes to ... all these celebs who made The Actor Awards memorable over the years!

From Sarah Jessica Parker, Kristen Davis, Cynthia Nixon and Kim Cattrall bringing the "Sex" to the red carpet in their showstopping looks ... to Roberto Benigni joyously lifting Helen Hunt after presenting him with the award for Outstanding Performance by a Male Actor in a Leading Role, we've got all the great moments you remember -- and even some you forgot -- from the show now in it's 32nd year.

Zoe Saldaña was the epitome of class when she graciously the Outstanding Performance by a Female Actor in a Supporting Role award for "Emilia Pérez" last year.

And who could forget old flames Brad Pitt and Jennifer Aniston back together -- in the same room, that is -- backstage of the award show in 2020? The two chatted as Brad cradled his statuette for his supporting role in "Once Upon a Time in Hollywood."

Jim Carrey wowed the crowd Thursday night as he delivered a speech in French when he was honored at the César Awards in Paris ... but the iconic actor also set social media abuzz with his look.

The performer -- known for being able to contort his face more drastically than most -- had a lot of people talking.

Some online trolls appeared to think Jim looked a lot different ... while others quipped he looked like a clone.

The BBC is under fire for failing to edit out the N-word from its broadcast of the BAFTAs ... though the organization has reportedly told employees it did catch another slur.

Here's the deal ... Kate Phillips -- the Chief Content Officer for the British Broadcasting Company -- sent an email to staff members apologizing that the racial slur involuntarily thrown at Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo by Tourette's activist John Davidson wasn't edited out of the broadcast.

However, Phillips also seemingly praised editors in the staff email because they "removed another racial slur from the broadcast.”

There's continued fallout from the British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) N-word controversy ... a Black jury member just quit over the org's "utterly unforgivable" handling of the situation.

As we reported ... John Davidson was heard shouting the N-word during Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo's presentation Sunday night. Host Alan Cumming did his best to address the incident, but many people were still upset about what happened -- and demanded answers.

Jonte Richardson resigned Tuesday from BAFTA’s emerging talent judging panel ... making it clear the handling of the incident -- and initial lack thereof -- was unacceptable.

The Tourette's activist who created a firestorm when he shouted the N-word during the The British Academy Film Awards (BAFTA) has broken his silence.

As we reported ... John Davidson was heard shouting the N-word during Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo's presentation last night. Host Alan Cumming did his best to address the incident, but plenty were still heated about what happened -- and wanted answers.

John just released a statement, saying he appreciated Alan's mid-show announcement ... and, "I was heartened by the round of applause that followed this announcement and felt welcomed and understood in an environment that would normally be impossible for me.”

BAFTA Awards host Alan Cumming cited John Davidson's Tourette Syndrome as the reason he shouted the N-word while Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo presented onstage ... but Jamie Foxx isn't buying it.

Under an Instagram post discussing the controversial moment, Foxx wrote, "Nah he meant that s**t."

He followed up, writing, "Out of all the words you could've said Tourette's makes you say that?"

Davidson, who was diagnosed with Tourette's at 25, is the inspiration for the BAFTA-winning biopic "I Swear."

During Black History Month??? Tourette Syndrome activist John Davidson was heard shouting the N-word during Michael B. Jordan and Delroy Lindo's presentation at the BAFTA Film Awards on Sunday.

Michael and Delroy's professionalism kept the show going without too much of a hiccup. The two just calmly continued presenting the award for best visual effects to "Avatar: Fire and Ash."

But we're guessing the mood in the room was pretty dour after the shocking outburst, because host Alan Cumming issued an apology.

He said, "Tourette Syndrome is a disability and the tics you've heard tonight are involuntary, which means the person who has Tourette Syndrome has no control over their language. We apologize if you are offended tonight."

Now this is worth the price of Jenner-al admission! Timothée Chalamet and Kylie Jenner -- and their PDA -- were a main attraction at the 2026 BAFTA Awards on Sunday ... turning another award show into an intimate date night.

Check out the pics ... the couple matched in elegant black fits for the event at the Southbank Centre's Royal Festival Hall in London. Kylie sparkled in a bedazzled dress, while Chalamet went with a classic tux and bow tie.

Kylie supported her man as he was nominated for Best Leading Actor. His nod marked one of 11 nominations for his film "Marty Supreme."

Big names like Teyana Taylor, Timothée Chalamet, and Kate Hudson showed up and showed out at the Beverly Hilton in L.A. Tuesday morning ... turning the daytime 98th Oscars Nominees Luncheon into a full-blown fashion flex!

The men came suited, booted, and dangerously handsome ... with Jacob Elordi and Leonardo DiCaprio leading the pack like it was a red carpet rehearsal.

Emma Stone was back in familiar territory, while other heavy hitters like Elle Fanning and Michael B. Jordan also pulled up, proving awards season is already in full swing.

Billie Eilish's acceptance speech at the 2026 Grammy Awards ceremony Sunday night raised eyebrows ... and now her brother Finneas is coming to her defense.

The producer shared his response to the criticism of his sister's remarks on Instagram Threads on Wednesday, writing ... "seeing a lot of very powerful old white men outraged about what my 24 year old sister said during her acceptance speech. We can literally see your names in the Epstein files."

ICYMI ... Billie and Finneas won the Song of the Year award for their work on "Wildflower" during the 2026 Grammys ... and the singer used her time on stage to speak her mind about a touchy topic.

Billie began her speech with ... "As grateful as I feel, I honestly don’t feel like I need to say anything but that no one is illegal on stolen land," Variety reports.

She continued ... "I feel like we just need to keep fighting and speaking up and protesting, and our voices really do matter, and the people matter, and f*** ICE is all I wanna say, sorry. Thank you so much."

FWIW ... Billie's mansion sits on land historically inhabited by the Tongva tribe of Native Americans -- along with the rest of Los Angeles -- and a spokesperson for the tribe has since expressed appreciation for the singer's sentiment.
