'The Big Short' & 'Inside Out' are in the Top At 2016 PGA Awards

While the Producers Guild Awards aren't always a perfect crystal ball for how the Oscars will shake out, they are a very good poll how industry types feel about the contenders, and this year an unlikely movie has movie knocked out much more buzzworthy titles to take home the top prize.


In a strong field with movies like "Mad Max: Fury Road," "Spotlight," and "The Revenant," Adam McKay's financial world dramedy, "The Big Short," won the Best Picture prize at the PGAs. Frankly, that's huge, and it certainly suggests that on Oscar night, we won't see a sweep from any single movie.

Hong Kong Lunar New Year Celebrations Erupt in Violence as Police Clear Food Stalls

Hong Kong's Lunar New Year celebrations have descended into chaos as police leared illegal food stalls set up on a busy junction for Lunar New Year celebrations, leaving dozens injured or arrested. Riot police used batons and pepper spray and fired warning shots into the air early on Tuesday after authorities tried to move illegal street vendors from a district in the city. Protesters hurled bricks at police as scuffles broke out, while other demonstrators set fire to rubbish bins in the streets of Mong Kok, a gritty neighbourhood across the harbour from the heart of the Asian financial centre.

Kit Harington Confirms He Filmed New Game of Thrones Scenes, But Only As A Dead Body

We're hardly waiting for it, Game of Thrones. We all know Jon Snow will be back in some shape or form this season, and at this point we're ready for the show to just come back already and stop teasing us. Enough with the cagey interviews, the oh-look-everyone-is-dead promos, and all the other taunting we've had to put up with for the past year. Just give us our beautiful show and let us be shocked in peace! Kit Harington, the portrayer of the dead guy in question, is the one who's confusing us this time. Instead of just saying "you'll have to wait and see," or some other kind of spoiler-free stock answer about future plot points (like he gave last time he was asked), Harington is now just feeding us lies. In an interview with Time Out London that was supposed to be about the West End play he's in, Harington claimed he's done with Game of Thrones. "Look, I'm not in the show anymore. I'm definitely not in the new series,...
