Barbie was the big winner at the 2024 Astra Film Awards, winning eight prizes including best picture and best original song. But the winning song was not Billie Eilish’s hypnotic ballad “What Was I Made For?,” which appears to be the Oscar front-runner, or Dua Lipa’s hit “Dance the Night,” both of which were also nominated, but rather Ryan Gosling’s big production number, “I’m Just Ken.” The song was written by Mark Ronson and Andrew Wyatt. For good measure, Gosling also won best supporting actor.

The award for best original score went to Ludwig Göransson’s score for Oppenheimer, which is shaping up as the Oscar front-runner. The late Robbie Robertson was also nominated for his work on Martin Scorsese’s Killers of the Flower Moon.
The ASTRA Film Awards, presented by the Hollywood Creative Alliance, were held on Saturday (Jan. 6) at the Biltmore Los Angeles and hosted by comedian Rick Glassman. The ceremony live-streamed on KNEKTtv and the HCA YouTube Channel.
Though Barbie beat Oppenheimer to take best picture, Oppenheimer director Christopher Nolan beat Barbie director Greta Gerwig to take best director. And neither film won best cast ensemble. That award went to The Color Purple.
Gerwig and her husband, Noah Baumbach, won best original screenplay for Barbie, though the Academy announced last week that the script will compete for best adapted screenplay at the Oscars. Oscar nominations will be revealed on Jan. 23.
Still: A Michael J. Fox Movie won best documentary feature, beating three music-based films — Taylor Swift’s Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour, which made history as the top-grossing concert film of all time; American Symphony, about Jon Batiste; and Little Richard: I Am Everything, about the flamboyant rock legend.
Oppenheimer was second to Barbie in the awards tally with four wins, ahead of John Wick: Chapter 4 and Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, with three each.
Daniel Pemberton, the composer of Spider-Man: Across the Spider: Verse, received an honorary award, the Artisan Achievement Award. Other honorary awards went to Abby Ryder Fortson (Star on the Rise Award), Danielle Brooks (Breakthrough Performer Award), Glenn Howerton (Game Changer Award), J.A. Bayona (Filmmaking Achievement Award), Jeffrey Wright (Acting Achievement Award), John Wick: Chapter 4 (Spotlight Award), and Willem Dafoe (Excellence in Artistry Award).

Weird: The Al Yankovic Story won outstanding television movie on Saturday (Jan. 6), night one of the long-delayed 2023 Primetime Emmy Creative Arts Awards. The Emmys were originally set for September, but were postponed because of strikes by Hollywood writers and actors.
In taking the award for outstanding television movie, the final award of the night, Weird beat Dolly Parton’s Mountain Magic Christmas, Hocus Pocus 2 (reuniting Bette Midler, Sarah Jessica Parker and Kathy Najimy), Fire Island and Prey. Parton won in the category two years ago with Dolly Parton’s Christmas on the Square.
As a producer of Weird, Weird Al Yankovic won his first Primetime Emmy. Weird won an additional award for outstanding music composition for a limited or anthology series, movie or special (original dramatic score) but that award went to the composers, Leo Birenberg and Zach Robinson.
Pop music titans Ed Sheeran and Max Martin, along with Foy Vance, won their first Primetime Emmys. They took the award for outstanding original music and lyrics for “A Beautiful Game,” which they wrote for an episode of Ted Lasso.
Danny Elfman won outstanding original main title theme music for Wednesday. It’s his third Primetime Emmy, following awards for Desperate Housewives (2005) and Danny Elfman’s Music from the Films of Tim Burton (Live From Lincoln Center) (2016).
Cristobal Tapia de Veer won outstanding music composition for a series (original dramatic score) for his work on The White Lotus. It’s the Chilean-born Canadian composer’s third Primetime Emmy in the past two years for his work on that buzzy show.
Winners in five of the seven music categories were announced on night one of the Creative Arts Awards, which took place at the Peacock Theater at L.A. Live in Los Angeles. Winners in the other two music categories will be announced on night two of the Creative Arts Awards on Sunday (Jan 7). The main Primetime Emmy telecast will air on Monday, Jan. 15, at 8 p.m. ET / 5 p.m. PT on FOX – nearly four months after the originally planned date (Sept. 18).
The Last of Us was the top winner on night one of the Creative Arts Emmys, with eight awards, followed by The Bear, Wednesday and The White Lotus, with four wins each. BEEF was next with three awards, followed by Daisy Jones & The Six, The Marvelous Mrs. Maisel, Ted Lasso and Weird: The Al Yankovic Story with two each.
An edited presentation of the awards presented on both nights of the Creative Arts Emmys will air Saturday, Jan. 13 at 8:00 p.m. ET/PT on FXX and will be available for streaming on Hulu on Sunday, Jan. 14.

Dua Lipa, Jon Batiste, Jared Leto, Andra Day, Amanda Seyfried and Hailee Steinfeld are among the music stars (several of whom have also established strong acting careers) who are set to present at the 2024 Golden Globe Awards, which will air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Sunday, Jan. 7 at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
The Golden Globes traditionally don’t have performances of best original song nominees, but Lipa is nominated in that category for co-writing “Dance the Night” from Barbie.
Other presenters include comedy stars George Lopez and Will Ferrell and media queen Oprah Winfrey. Winfrey was the 2018 recipient of the Cecil B. DeMille Award at the Globes. That award, as well as the Carol Burnett Award, which is its TV equivalent, will not be presented this year.
Jo Koy is set to host the show. Here are five things you may not know about the comedian.
On the film side, Barbie is this year’s leading Golden Globes nominee with nine nods, followed by Oppenheimer (eight), Killers of the Flower Moon and Poor Things (seven each), Past Lives (five), and Anatomy of a Fall, Maestro and May December (four each).
On the TV side, Succession is the leading nominee with nine nods, followed by The Bear and Only Murders in the Building (five each) and The Crown (four).
The Golden Globes will unveil two new categories this year. Barbie, last year’s biggest box office hit and one of its most widely admired, is expected to win the award for cinematic and box office achievement. The other nominees are Guardians of the Galaxy Vol. 3, John Wick: Chapter 4, Mission: Impossible – Dead Reckoning Part One, Oppenheimer, Spider-Man: Across the Spider-Verse, The Super Mario Bros. Movie and Taylor Swift: The Eras Tour.
The other new award is best performance in stand-up comedy. The nominees are Ricky Gervais for Ricky Gervais: Armageddon, Trevor Noah for Trevor Noah: Where Was I, Chris Rock for Chris Rock: Selective Outrage, Amy Schumer for Amy Schumer: Emergency Contact, Sarah Silverman for Sarah Silverman: Someone You Love and Wanda Sykes for Wanda Sykes: I’m an Entertainer.
Emmy-winning producing duo Glenn Weiss and Ricky Kirshner of White Cherry Entertainment will serve as executive-producing showrunners of the 2024 Golden Globes, with Weiss also set to direct. Produced and owned by Dick Clark Productions, the Golden Globe Awards is one of the few awards ceremonies to include both motion picture and television achievements.

The 2024 Grammys are coming up on Feb. 4, but the Recording Academy is already looking ahead to the 2025 awards. The Academy announced today that the eligibility period for the 67th annual Grammy Awards will be Sept. 16, 2023 through Aug. 30, 2024.
“This timeline gives us the time to thoroughly process all entries and uphold the integrity of the awards process,” the Academy’s awards team noted in an email to voting members. “It also improves the Online Entry Process [OEP] by aligning the end of the eligibility period with the end of our OEP period.”
You may recall that the Academy announced on March 1, 2023 that they were advancing the close of the eligibility year to Aug. 31 last year, but relented five weeks later amid criticism that this was insufficient notice for such a major change. Instead, they split the difference and advanced the close of the eligibility year to Sept. 15, 2023.
Harvey Mason Jr., the Academy’s CEO, announced that middle-ground compromise in a message to members on April 6, 2023, which shed light on the reasons the Academy is pushing for an earlier close: “A few weeks ago, we communicated a change to the eligibility period for the 66th Grammy Awards. This change benefits our awards process and grants us flexibility throughout Grammy season – specifically related to our nominations announcement timeline and the booking of the Grammy telecast, Premiere Ceremony, Recording Academy Honors Presented by the Black Music Collective, and other important celebrations throughout Grammy Week.
“After listening to concerns from some members of the music community, we have decided to amend the end date of the previously-announced eligibility period. The eligibility deadline for the 66th Annual Grammy Awards will be extended by two weeks, to Friday, Sept. 15, 2023.
“We care about the impact of this date change on our community and make this adjustment in the spirit of partnership and collaboration.”
The Academy made the announcement of the earlier closing nearly two months earlier this year than it did last year to give artists and their labels more time to plan around it.
The Grammy eligibility year extended from Oct. 1 to Sept. 30 every year for decades – from the 20th annual Grammy Awards (which covered the period from Oct. 1, 1976, through Sept. 30, 1977) through the 51st annual Grammy Awards (Oct. 1, 2007, through Sept. 30, 2008).
The schedule has been more irregular since then. Here are the outliers:
52nd annual Grammy Awards: Oct. 1, 2008 through Aug. 31, 2009 (11 months)
53rd annual Grammy Awards: Sept. 1, 2009 through Sept. 30, 2010 (13 months)
62nd annual Grammy Awards: Oct. 1, 2018 through Aug. 31, 2019 (11 months)
63rd annual Grammy Awards: Sept. 1, 2019 through Aug. 31, 2020 (12 months)
64th annual Grammy Awards: Sept. 1, 2020 through Sept. 30, 2021 (13 months)
66th annual Grammy Awards: Oct. 1, 2020 through Sept. 15, 2023 (11-1/2 months)
67th annual Grammy Awards: Sept. 16, 2023 through Aug. 30, 2024 (11-1/2 months)
Laurie Anderson, The Clark Sisters, Gladys Knight, N.W.A, Donna Summer and Tammy Wynette are the Recording Academy’s 2024 lifetime achievement award honorees. Also announced on Friday (Jan. 5), Peter Asher, DJ Kool Herc and Joel Katz are trustees award recipients; Tom Kobayashi and Tom Scott are technical Grammy award honorees; and “Refugee,” written by K’naan, […]
The 2024 Golden Globe Awards are just around the corner, and stand-up comedian, actor and author Jo Koy is set to host the star-studded ceremony on Sunday (Jan. 7). Koy will host the three-hour broadcast for the first time, following fellow comedian Jerrod Carmichael, who hosted the show last year. “We are thrilled to have Jo host the 81st Annual […]
If you’re wondering who is going to receive the Cecil B. DeMille and Carol Burnett Awards at the 2024 Golden Globes on Sunday (Jan. 7), you can stop wondering. The awards will not be presented this year. In a preview of the show on the Golden Globes website on Dec. 19, they suggested, “This is […]
Amanda Seyfried, Will Ferrell and George Lopez are among the first round of presenters on the 2024 Golden Globe Awards, which will air live on CBS and stream on Paramount+ on Sunday, Jan. 7, at 8 p.m. ET/5 p.m. PT.
Other presenters include Michelle Yeoh, Angela Bassett, Gabriel Macht, Julia Garner, Justin Hartley and Patrick J. Adams. Additional presenters will be announced in the coming days.
Comedian Jo Koy is set to host the show.
Yeoh and Bassett both won Golden Globes last year. Yeoh won best performance in a motion picture – musical or comedy for Everything Everywhere All at Once. Bassett won best supporting performance in a motion picture for Black Panther: Wakanda Forever.
Yeoh went on to make Oscar history, becoming the first Asian winner for best actress and the second woman of color, after Halle Berry, to win in that category. Bassett did not go on to win the Oscar for best supporting actress, but she is set to receive a Governors Award from the Motion Picture Academy on Jan. 9.
On the film side, Barbie is this year’s leading Golden Globes nominee with nine nods, followed by Oppenheimer (eight), Killers of the Flower Moon and Poor Things (seven each), Past Lives (five), and Anatomy of a Fall, Maestro and May December (four each).
On the TV side, Succession is the leading nominee with nine nods, followed by The Bear and Only Murders in the Building (five each) and The Crown (four).

Dionne Warwick, Chloé Bailey, Frankie Beverly and Donald Lawrence will be saluted at the 2024 Urban One Honors, which is set to tape on Saturday, Jan. 20 at the Coca Cola Roxy in Atlanta. The two-hour telecast will premiere on Sunday, Feb. 25 on TV One and simulcast on CLEO TV.
Warwick will be recognized as the lifetime achievement honoree, Bailey as the generation next honoree, Beverly as a living legend, and Lawrence for his inspirational impact.
Both Warwick and Beverly have had their old hits revived very successfully in the recent past. Doja Cat’s “Paint the Town Red,” which features Warwick’s 1964 hit “Walk on By,” topped the Billboard Hot 100 for three weeks last year. In 2019, Beyoncé covered Beverly’s 1981 hit with Maze, “Before I Let Go,” on Homecoming: The Live Album.
Beyoncé was born two weeks after Maze’s record entered Billboard’s Hot Soul Singles chart, as Top R&B/Hip-Hop Songs was then known. Doja Cat was born more than 30 years after “Walk on By” was a hit – which shows the longevity of this prized material.
Warwick, 83, received the Kennedy Center Honors in a ceremony which aired on CBS on Dec. 27. The five-time Grammy-winner received a lifetime achievement award from the Recording Academy in 2019.
Lawrence, 62, won a Grammy in 2008 for best traditional gospel album for Live – One Last Time.
Bailey, 25, has received five Grammy nods, including best new artist, as part of Chloe X Halle.
Beverly, 77, the leader of Frankie Beverly & Maze, has never even been nominated for a Grammy, but the group received a BET lifetime achievement award at the 2012 BET Awards.
“As we unveil the lineup for this year’s Urban One Honors, we are delighted to highlight [their] incredible musical journeys,” Michelle Rice, president of TV One and CLEO TV, said in a statement. “Their selection as honorees is a recognition of their profound impact on both music and culture, spanning generations.”
Urban One Honors bills itself as the ultimate celebration of Black excellence, acknowledging individuals who have left an indelible mark on the arts, media, music and the community. This year’s theme is “Best in Black.”
Bebe Winans, Angie Stone, Teyana Taylor, Damon Little and October London will also appear on the show. There will also be an R&B Divas reunion featuring KeKe Wyatt, Chanté Moore and Nicci Gilbert. Additional names will be announced. Singer and actress LeToya Luckett returns to host the event’s Backstage Pass, featuring exclusive interviews with the show’s honorees, performers and presenters.
The 2024 Urban One Honors marks the official kickoff celebration for TV One’s 20th Anniversary. Throughout the year, TV One is set to roll out an array of special programming featuring curated retrospectives, exclusive behind-the-scenes content and a series of commemorative events.
Urban One Honors is produced for TV One by James Seppelfrick of The Cheat Code. Marilyn Gill is the executive producer. Myriam Leger will serve as director and Daniel Moore as music director. Kashon Powell is the vice president of programming for Radio One and Susan Henry is the executive producer in charge of production for TV One.
RZA, producer and the mastermind behind the influential hip-hop collective Wu-Tang Clan, will be presented with the TEC Innovation Award at The NAMM Show’s 2024 TEC Awards on Jan. 27 in Anaheim, Calif. The award honors individuals who have set the highest standards of excellence in the creative application of recording technology.
The award was formerly known as the NAMM TEC Les Paul Innovation Award, in honor of the legendary guitarist, songwriter and inventor who died in 2009. RZA will be the first recipient who is known primarily for hip-hop. Previous recipients include Jimmy Jam & Terry Lewis and Stevie Wonder, best known for R&B, and Herbie Hancock, best known for jazz and R&B.
“RZA’s formidable body of work and talent is unquestionable,” John Mlynczak, NAMM president and CEO, said in a statement. “His legacy of accomplishments and lasting power on music inspires many music makers beyond hip-hop and he deserves this high recognition.”
RZA (Robert Diggs) is a trailblazer in culture and in hip-hop, having created the group’s widely-imitated core sound consisting of stark, booming beats, and chilling samples heavily drawing from vintage soul records as well as kung fu movies.
The Staten Island group debuted in 1993 with Enter the Wu-Tang (36 Chambers). Rolling Stone ranked it No. 27 on its 2020 update of its 500 Greatest Albums of All Time list, with the magazine noting, “Their raw, hectic debut launched rap’s greatest franchise and reasserted New York’s hip-hop dominance the early Nineties.” In 2022, the album was inducted into the National Recording Registry overseen by the Library of Congress.
The group’s second album, Wu-Tang Forever, entered the Billboard 200 at No. 1 in 1997 and received a Grammy nomination for best rap album.
RZA scored Jim Jarmusch’s 1999 film Ghost Dog: The Way of the Samurai and organized and orchestrated Quentin Tarantino’s Kill Bill Vol. 1 and Kill Bill Vol. 2 (the latter, in tandem with Robert Rodriguez). RZA is among the stars of the 2023 comedy film Problemista, which premiered at SXSW. He is also an executive producer for, and directed several episodes of Wu-Tang: An American Saga, the original Hulu series honoring his group.
Now in its 39th year and presented by NAMM, the TEC Awards recognizes the best in professional audio and sound production and takes place as a part of The NAMM Show, the world’s largest music trade show. All finalists will be celebrated at a reception being held on the campus of the Anaheim Convention Center on the evening of Saturday, Jan. 27.
The NAMM Show will include live music, including a performance by emerging female hip-hop artist Blimes, and sessions such as Innovate and Elevate: Exploring DJ Technology with DJ Hapa, as well as signature events such as the Parnelli Awards and She Rocks Awards.
