Novel-turned-Prime Video series Daisy Jones & the Six is about a fictional 1970s rock band, but anyone familiar with music history could guess the musical drama is based on the tumultuous career of Fleetwood Mac. Even Stevie Nicks agrees, as she has now given the show her stamp of approval.
“Just finished watching @daisyjonesand6 for the 2nd time. In the beginning, it wasn’t really my story, but Riley seamlessly, soon became my story,” Nicks wrote. “It brought back memories that made me feel like a ghost watching my own story.

Decades after Elvis Presley’s death, his granddaughter Riley Keough has become a celebrity in her own right. While she has established herself as an actor in projects like Daisy Jones & The Six, she still has a deep connection to Elvis’ legacy. Keough is now the sole custodian of Graceland, Elvis’ home. She spoke about the time she spent there as a child, even though she wasn’t sure if she should.
Elvis’ granddaughter Riley Keough spent the night at Graceland as a child
Though Keough was born over a decade after Elvis’ death, Graceland was a part of her childhood. It remained in the family and opened to the public as a museum in 1982, five years after Elvis’ death.
“There were a few times that we slept there,” Keough told Vanity Fair, “but I don’t know if I should say that.”

This year’s Emmy nominations for the 75th Emmy Awards were released on Wednesday morning.
The Emmys live-streamed the announcement on their official website where Frank Scherma, Television Academy Chair, and actress Yvette Nicole Brown presented the nominations.
Scherma started the live stream off by introducing himself and the Emmys. “And what a great way to recognize the importance of the writers and performers and all those who created such phenomenal work over the past season,” he said.
His speech referenced the writer’s strike that is currently plaguing the film and TV industry.
“We hope the ongoing guild negotiations can come to an equitable and swift resolution. We are committed to supporting a television industry that stands strong in equity and where we can continue to honor all the incredible work you do.”
Brown added, “Nothing makes me happier than celebrating other people and their big day.”

Harrison Ford was widely expected to land his first Emmy nomination this year for his two roles in Shrinking and 1923. Instead, he failed to earn a nod for either performance despite Shrinking landing multiple nods. 1923, on the other hand, is just one of several Taylor Sheridan shows that were shut out from this year’s Emmy nominations (no nods for stars Ford or Helen Mirren), with hit series Yellowstone failing to land any Emmy noms for the second year in a row and new entry Tulsa King only scoring one nod, for stunt coordination.
In a recent The Hollywood Reporter cover story, Sheridan shrugged off his Emmys snub streak, suggesting he values his shows promoting certain ideals instead and bluntly adding, “you can keep your fucking award.”
Other series that failed to score any nominations, despite experts’ predictions, include the final season of FX’s Snowfall, never recognized by the...

Nominations for the 75th Emmy awards have arrived and as expected, HBO’s “Succession” led the pack with 27 nods, including 14 for acting, the same number as last year (when it broke the record for the most in the acting categories any in a single year). “The Last of Us” came in second with 24 nominations, including Pedro Pascal’s first ever, for lead actor in a drama series. “The White Lotus” (23) and “Ted Lasso” (21) rounded out to the top four.
Netflix’s “Beef” also made history as the first limited series created by and starring Asians to land a nomination. In a statement, “Beef” exec-producer and star Ali Wong, who was nominated for limited series lead actress, said: “This is a real honor and something I never expected would happen. I wish my father was alive to experience this moment with me. Much love to Sonny (aka Lee Sung Jin) and...

Fans of the Amazon Prime original series Daisy Jones & the Six (which premiered in March) know that it’s not just the Fleetwood Mac-inspired music or the real-life Sunset Strip shooting locations that set the tone for the show. It’s also the ‘70s fashion that gives it a distinct sense of time and place. The fringed vests, peasant dresses, flared pants and crochet tops worn by the women leads on the show also communicate important aspects of the characters as their stories develop.

Of course, it probably comes as no surprise to many viewers that much of Daisy Jones’ (Riley Keough) bohemian style is inspired by Fleetwood Mac’s Stevie Nicks.

Of all the countless action adventure TV shows that filled our screens in the 1960s, perhaps none of them have fascinated audiences quite as much as The Prisoner. In 1967, Patrick McGoohan stepped away from the colossal Itc hit show Secret Agent (or Danger Man in the UK) and used his commercial clout to create a series that has thrilled and baffled in equal measure for over fifty years.
He played a nameless secret agent who is kidnapped during the titles sequence of the first episode, and wakes up in a bizarre, pastel-hued location where everyone is known only by their number, and where escape is made impossible by a malevolent bouncing ball.
In ‘The Village’, the authorities are determined to discover why this new arrival resigned. However, No. 6 as he is now known, is equally determined...

Honestly, is there anything Reese Witherspoon can't do? There's no denying that the multi-hyphenate is one of the most powerful women in Hollywood, expertly managing to take a decades-long acting career and elevating it something so much more. Venturing into the world of producing, writing, retail and activism, the mom of three has become the sort of woman unabashedly worthy of calling Oprah Winfrey her pal. And the future ahead for the star looks even brighter than the last: She's working on Where the Crawdads Sing, Daisy Jones and the Six and the highly-anticipated Legally Blonde 3.

Suddenly he hears a faint reply in the distance. He and his crew row in the direction of the voice until they come across a pale Chinese man floating on a scrap of the ship. They pull him ...

Chen Xi’s piece largely reads as a formal process experiment; moreover, its animation is relatively restrained. But perhaps this is where “The Six” strength lies: in its strict attention to structure.
“The Six” is screening at Vienna Shorts
”The Six” feels like an animated comic-strip in a screen split three ways. To the left and right, two moons wax and wane; they exchange the foreshadowing and aftermath of each encounter. In the center, a man seduces a new woman each month. He goes through the same repeat motions for each lover, only to be tempted by another mistress passing by his window. By the end of the four-minute short, a wandering crane steps into the center. The man steps outside his home at last, breaking free from the confines of the animated loop.
Mesmerizing and enigmatic, Chen Xi captures the elegance of the animated cycle in “The Six.” This...

“The Six,” a documentary film shining a searchlight on the little-known Chinese aspects of the familiar Titanic story is headed for theatrical release next month in the Middle Kingdom. With James Cameron on board as executive producer and contributor, it could make waves in other markets as well.
The 97-minute feature will debut in Chinese theaters on April 16, around the 109th anniversary of the “Titanic” sinking, with the release handled by local distributor QC Media. A 60-minute version has been prepared for TV. London-based specialist factual distributor Tvf International is handling the global rights.
Despite events taking place over 100 years ago, the anti-Asian fall-out of 1912 has close parallels with the racism and antagonisms of the past year. The Titanic’s six Chinese survivors miraculously escaped the shipwreck only to be vilified and refused entry to the U.S. within 24 hours of their arrival. They have been all but erased from the history books.
