Sunday's Golden Globes are Hollywood's first big awards show of the #MeToo era. Cinemablend's Sean O'Connell joins Cheddar to preview the night and predict the most prestigious categories. He thinks "The Shape of Water," "Get Out," "The Crown," and "Master of None" will walk away as the big winners of the night.
Seth Meyers will host the ceremony from Los Angeles. While O'Connell says the talk-show host is a good choice, considering the prospect of former host Ricky Gervais returning this year would leave Hollywood "terrified." The managing editor expects lots of jokes about President Trump and Harvey Weinstein during the opening monologue.
We also touch on one Citi analyst's prediction that there's a 40% chance Apple buys Netflix. O'Connell thinks a potential merger would still leave Apple behind Disney in the content wars. He thinks the tech giant is more likely to create a streaming service of its own.
An Associated Press analysis of more than 130 bills in 40 state legislatures found of the proposals, as introduced or passed, are identical or very similar to some model legislation, the AP found.
The first book in the Harry Potter series hit shelves in 1997. Since then, it’s become a multibillion dollar franchise with multiple books and movies, a theme park, and now an interactive exhibit in New York City. Cheddar’s own Ashley Mastronardi visited earlier this week before it was open to the public.
Cheddar recommends "Queenmaker: The Making of an It Girl," "Dungeons & Dragons: Honor Among Thieves," "The Mother," "A Man Called Otto," "The Covenant," and "The Great American Recipe."
Alyssa Fox, the first Asian-American to star as Elphaba the witch in Broadway's 'Wicked,' spoke with Cheddar News to discuss how she landed her dream role and the logistics behind her character.
