Speculation demands ambition—the ability not only to sketch out the depths of human depravity, but also to pine for its redemption. As any artist who’s lived through the pandemic (or, say, any era of human history) can tell you, that’s not an easy feat to imagine. But many, including author Rebecca Scherm, would argue it’s
Will Smith announced this evening that he is resigning from membership in Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences days after his slapping Chris Rock on stage at the Oscars dominated ceremony coverage and conversation.
