ARIANA DEBOSE

NEW YORK — (AP) — The prize for best film of the year at the National Board of Review Awards went to “Top Gun: Maverick." Despite the lack of a broadcast from Cipriani's 42 Street in midtown Manhattan, the National Board of Review Awards have long been a regular and starry stop in Hollywood's awards season. The National Board of Review makes it easier, too, by announcing winners in advance and pairing each with a lavish introduction from a collaborator or friend. Spielberg, who won best director for his movie-memoir "The Fabelmans," was introduced by "West Side Story" star Ariana DeBose. "Top Gun" star Tom Cruise didn't attend Sunday, but producer Jerry Bruckheimer applauded him while accepting for best film.

“Top Gun: Maverick,” Steven Spielberg and the stars of “The Banshees of Inisherin” collected awards at Sunday night’s National Board of Review Awards in New York.

The prize for best film of the year at the National Board of Review Awards went to “Top Gun: Maverick." Martin McDonagh's “The Banshees of Inisherin” took home the most trophies. “I'm glad this isn't televised,” said Farrell.

The National Christmas Tree is now blazing with bright color.

Julia Roberts will be honored by the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures at its second annual gala in October.

The Emmy Award nominations announced Tuesday included some snubs and surprises, like “This Is Us” and “black-ish” walking away forever limply and Nathan Lane making history as the most-nominated best comedy guest actor in Emmy history.

This year, the academy invited 397 artists, including actors, directors and people who play other roles in filmmaking.

Recent Oscar winners Ariana DeBose, Troy Kotsur and Billie Eilish are among the 397 individuals who have been invited to join the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences.

Ariana DeBose hosted the 75th annual Tony Awards, which celebrated the work of a diverse group of artists.

Broadway has its groove back, said Tonys host Ariana DeBose at an exuberant ceremony seeking to illustrate just that sentiment.

Ariana DeBose should host everything. Jennifer Hudson makes history. And we should all celebrate understudies.

Jackson also won for best book. "A Strange Loop" beat "MJ," a bio musical of the King of Pop's biggest hits, for the top prize, although the other Jackson musical nabbed four Tony Awards including for best choreography. “Company” is an exploration of a single person’s conflicted feelings about commitment, traditionally focusing on a 35-year-old bachelor. Patti LuPone won best featured actress in a musical for her work in the revival, thanking COVID-19 safety officials in her acceptance speech. And the Tonys ushered in the latest EGOT winner: Jennifer Hudson, who has an Emmy, Grammy and Oscar, and joined that elite group Sunday when “A Strange Loop” won best musical — she’s a producer.

Chris Rock received several standing ovations before he told one joke at his first comedy show since Will Smith slapped him in the face onstage at the Oscars.

Nielsen measures viewership in 15-minute increments, and the 17.3 million viewers during the quarter-hour when Smith's attack took place was virtually identical to the quarter-hour that followed. Led by its NCAA men's basketball tourney coverage, CBS won the week with an average of 6.2 million in prime time. ABC's “World News Tonight” led the evening news ratings race with an average of 8.3 million viewers last week. NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament: Arkansas vs. Duke, TBS, 10.34 million3. NCAA Men's Basketball Tournament: Arkansas vs. Gonzaga, CBS, 8.16 million.

Will Smith's violent slap of Chris Rock during the Academy Awards ceremony had no appreciable difference on the size of the ABC broadcast's television audience.

The first broadcast award went, fittingly, to Ariana DeBose, who became the first openly LGBTQ actor and first Afro-Latina to win best supporting actress. To help restore the Oscars’ position, some argued in the lead-up to this year’s awards that a blockbuster like “Spider-Man: No Way Home” should have been nominated for best picture. One thing producers have promised: the night's final award will be best picture.

Ariana DeBose lived up to Oscar predictions and followed the path of her “West Side Story” predecessor Rita Moreno.

DeBose is the first openly queer woman of color to win an Oscar for her acting.

A 94th Academy Awards that steadily maintained a buoyant spirit was rocked by an unbelievable exchange after Will Smith took offense to a joke made by Chris Rock about his wife, Jada Pinkett Smith. After Rock joked to Smith that he was looking forward to a sequel to “G.I. Jane,” Smith stood up from his seat near the stage, strode up to Rock and slapped him. After sitting back down, Smith shouted at Rock to “keep my wife's name out of your (expletive) mouth."
