Coppola and Henson companies get loans for winery, puppetry

A statue of Kermit The Frog stands at the entrance to The Jim Henson Company, Tuesday, July 7, 2020, in the Hollywood section of Los Angeles. The U.S. government's small business lending program sent pandemic relief money into unexpected corners of the entertainment industry.

In a win for the world, โ€˜Parasiteโ€™ takes best picture Oscar

LOS ANGELES โ€“ Subtitle this: โ€œParasiteโ€ is the first non-English language film to win best picture in the 92-year history of the Academy Awards. Bong Joon Hoโ€™s masterfully devious class satire took Hollywoodโ€™s top prize at the Oscars on Sunday night, along with awards for best director, best international film and best screenplay. In winning best adapted screenplay for his Nazi satire โ€œJojo Rabbit,โ€ the New Zealand filmmaker Taika Waititi became the first indigenous director ever to win an Oscar. โ€œJokerโ€ composer Hildur Gudnadottir became only the third woman to ever win best original score. After a year in which women made significant gains behind the camera, no female directors were nominated for best director.

Female directors shut out of 2020 Oscar nominations

The slate of 2020 Oscar contenders for the directing prize were Martin Scorsese ("The Irishman"), Todd Phillips ("Joker"), Sam Mendes ("1917"), Quentin Tarantino ("Once Upon a Time in Hollywood") and Bong Joon Ho ("Parasite"), five incredibly talented male directors. Scorsese, Mendes and Tarantino are highly regarded in the industry, but the lack of female directors has been a sore spot for many in recent years. This year, several female directors could have snagged a nomination. Gerwig, whose "Little Women" received six nods, was a top contender heading into the nominations. Wang's "The Farewell," which scored numerous nominations at the Golden Globes and led to an acting award for star Awkwafina, was shut out from all Oscar categories.

Netflix hit 'The Irishman' marks a turning point for how Oscar-caliber movies are distributed, and could speed the demise of movie theaters

We've hit a turning point: Oscar-worthy movies are coming to your living room nearly as quickly as they arrive in theaters. A year after showcasing Best Picture-nominated "Roma," Netflix has made "The Irishman" and "Marriage Story" available to subscribers in November and December around the same time they hit movie theaters in preparation for awards season. "The Irishman" is the latest gangster movie from director Martin Scorsese, featuring veteran actors Joe Pesce, Robert DeNiro and Al Pacino. The actual number of viewers is probably even higher, as each subscriber represents an account, not a single person, and people often watch movies in a group. It's also terrible news for movie theaters.

Ed Norton on Martin Scorsese's critique of Hollywood: It was a 'Valentine to my film'

Some big names in Hollywood, however, supported Scorsese's original comments, while others vehemently disagreed. Ed Norton, the writer, director and actor of the upcoming "Motherless Brooklyn," falls squarely in between. "It was almost a Valentine to my film," Norton said told CNBC on Wednesday regarding Scorcese's op-ed. The actor portrayed the Incredible Hulk in the 2008 Marvel film and Scout Master Ward in Wes Anderson's "Moonrise Kingdom."
