    Legendary, Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman has pa Legendary, Oscar-winning actor Gene Hackman has passed away at age 95. Hackman had an impressive five-decade career, winning two Academy Awards and and being nominated for another three. From films like Bonnie and Clyde, The Conversation and Unforgiven, to memorable characters like Popeye Doyle, Lex Luthor and Royal Tenenbaum, he was equally at home (and as efffective) in quiet dramas, action or comedy. He famously retired from the industry in 2004 and never looked back. But what a catalogue of work he leaves behind. Which of his many films or roles will you most remember him for? #RIP #icon #genehackman

    This year's #Oscar nominations are out, and with i This year's #Oscar nominations are out, and with it, a host of notable and record-breaking picks. Our own @mullenpat led us through the big news earlier this morning: "Jacques Audiard’s narco-musical [#EmiliaPérez] scored the most nominations ever for a non-English film with 13, including Best Picture. The film also made history with Karla Sofía Gascón’s nomination for Best Actress—a first for an openly transgender actor. On the heels of Emilia Pérez are Golden Globe winners #TheBrutalist and #Wicked. Both films scored 10 nominations, including Best Picture. They’ll compete against festival darlings #Anora (six noms), #Conclave (eight noms), and #TheSubstance (five noms). The big surprise in the Best Picture line-up, though, may be Walter Salles’ #ImStillHere." Read his full take (and check out the complete list of nominees) at the link in our bio.

From The Elephant Man and Blue Velvet to Twin Peaks and Mulholland Drive, he created some of the most wild and memorable films and TV series of the past 4 decades.
