12 January,2026 04:09 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentHollywood actress Lucy Liu has shared that she was very embarrassed to tell C. Thomas Howell that she had a crush on him as a teenager. The 57-year-old actress fell head over heels for the actor when he starred in the 1983 crime-thriller film, The Outsiders, aged 16, and she even had a photo of him on her wall, reports ‘Female First UK’. In an interview with W Magazine, Lucy was asked who her first "cinematic crush" was, and she said, "C. Thomas Howell in The Outsiders. I was able to afford one of those teen magazines. I Scotch-taped it up to my wood-panel wall. He had a very ’80s look, with his hair blown back and his hand in his jeans pocket”. The Outsiders followed the rivalry between two teenage gangs, the greasers, including brothers Ponyboy Curtis, Darrel Curtis and Sodapop Curtis and their pals, and the privileged Socs (Socials). As per ‘Female First UK’, in 2012, Lucy "ironically" worked with C. Thomas, 59, in season 4 of the TNT crime drama, Southland, which followed Los Angeles Police Department patrol officers and detectives try to stop crime in the Californian city, while they juggled drama in their personal lives. But Lucy did not tell C. Thomas that she fancied him as a youngster. She shared, "I never told him that I had a crush on him, because I was so embarrassed. We were playing tough cops”. The actress has never been married but was engaged to 50-year-old film director Zach Helm in 2004, two years after they met at a Hollywood bash and dated. However, their engagement was called off, and they broke up a few months later. Lucy has had other high-profile relationships.

12 January,2026 01:33 PM IST | Los Angeles | PTIHollywood star Mark Ruffalo has hinted at entering politics. The 58-year-old star would not rule out swapping his illustrious acting career for "doing something good" for millions of Americans as a politician. The actor, who is known for playing Marvel superhero, The Hulk, lauded New York City Mayor Zohran Mamdani, 34, who ran as a Democratic Socialist and made history during his swearing-in ceremony on January 1 when he became the first prominent US politician to take the oath on a Quran, reports ‘Female First UK’. Mark told Us Weekly, "It isn’t on my game card right now, but who knows. I mean, you never say never. I mean, I spent a lot of time in that world, and acting, it’s for the people. So, I love the people, and politicians could be doing something good for the people”. Mark said, "Seeing Mamdani’s win in New York has really excited me about what’s possible in the United States right now”. As per ‘Female First UK’, the Avengers star, who has been a fierce critic of 79-year-old US President Donald Trump, believes the country needs a new political direction that serves working people, as the Democratic and Republican parties have "become completely captured by corporations". He said, "It’s bulls***. And the people in America are suffering. If the people in America weren’t suffering, we wouldn’t be where we are right now. You know, it’s a failure on both parties. They become completely captured by corporations, both parties. And it’s time for a new America that is for the working people who were the plurality of this country”. In October 2020, the Mickey 17 cast member accused Trump of being a "liar" following the final US Presidential debate with his Democrat rival, 83-year-old Joe Biden, who was elected Commander-in-Chief that year, and for trying to mislead the US public.

12 January,2026 01:25 PM IST | Los Angeles | IANSThe Golden Globe Awards 2026 were held at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Los Angeles on Sunday night. The ceremony was hosted by comedian Nikki Glaser, who did not shy away from roasting audience members or taking digs at trending news surrounding the glamour world. She delivered an epic monologue to kick off the night, which is now trending on social media. Here are some key takeaways from Nikki Glaser’s monologue: Nikki Glaser jokes about Leonardo DiCaprio’s dating history, later apologises Glaser roasted Leonardo DiCaprio, who was nominated for his film One Battle After Another. She poked fun at his well-known streak of dating women in their 20s.“What a career you’ve had. I mean, countless iconic performances, you’ve worked with every great director. You’ve won three Golden Globes and an Oscar. And the most impressive thing is that you were able to accomplish all of that before your girlfriend turned 30. I mean, it’s just insane,” she joked. Glaser quickly apologised, adding, “Leo, I’m sorry I made that joke. It’s cheap — I tried not to.” She continued, “But we don’t know anything else about you, man. There’s nothing else. I searched — the most in-depth interview you’ve ever given was in Teen Beat in 1991. Is your favourite food still ‘pasta, pasta, and more pasta’?” Nikki Glaser on Epstein files and CBS News During her monologue, Glaser also humorously suggested that some stars in the room might be named in the Epstein files. “There are so many A-listers here — and by A-listers, I mean people who are on a list that has been heavily redacted,” she said. “And the Golden Globe for Best Editing goes to the Justice Department.” She also took a dig at CBS News over allegations that the network shelved a critical 60 Minutes story about the Trump administration sending immigrants to a prison in El Salvador. “The award for most editing goes to CBS News,” Glaser added. “Yes, CBS News — America’s newest place to see BS news.” Nikki Glaser on The Rock and Kevin Hart Glaser then turned her attention to actors known for their comedic roles. “The Rock is nominated tonight, and luckily for him, the TV show The Paper is not, so he might win. Kevin Hart is here — The Rock’s plus one-half,” she said. “Kevin and The Rock are like my favourite comedy duo. You’re like Steve Martin and Martin Short, but for people with under-50 IQ. Jumanji: The Next Level — was it?” she added. Nikki Glaser takes a dig at Wicked Glaser also didn’t spare Wicked, starring Ariana Grande and Cynthia Erivo. Describing the film, she joked, “Wicked was back this year — with Wicked: For Money.” She went on to say, “Once again, Cynthia Erivo and Ariana Grande gave us two career-defining performances. Two hours into that movie, I was in tears. I was like, ‘I can’t believe there’s still 45 minutes left.’ Ariana, I would listen to you sing the phone book. Grab the one Kevin Hart is sitting on tonight.”
12 January,2026 12:13 PM IST | Mumbai | mid-day online correspondentFresh off taking over the Critics Choice Awards, KPop Demon Hunters has now won big at the 83rd Golden Globe Awards. The Netflix musical adventure took home the Golden Globe for Best Animated Motion Picture, followed by Best Original Song for its signature track Golden. KPop Demon Hunters triumphed over the likes of Arco, Demon Slayer: Infinity Castle, Elio, Little Amelie or the Character of Rain, and Zootopia 2, to pick up the coveted trophy, making director Maggie Kang the first Asian woman to win in the category. In her speech, Kang expressed deep gratitude and said, "Through this film, we really wanted to depict female characters - the way that we know women, which is really strong and bold, really silly and weird, and really hungry for food and sometimes a little thirsty." In a double treat, the film's song Golden emerged as the first K-pop song to win a Golden Globe for Best Original Song. Performed by HUNTR/X (EJAE, Audrey Nuna & REI AMI), the song competed against Dream as One (Avatar: Fire and Ash), I Lied to You (Sinners), No Place Like Home and The Girl in the Bubble (Wicked: For Good), and Train Dreams (Train Dreams). An emotional EJAE, in her acceptance speech, reflected on facing rejections and struggles in finding a purpose. "When I was a little girl, I worked tirelessly for 10 years to fill one dream, to become a K-pop idol, and I was rejected and disappointed that my voice wasn't good enough. And so I had leaned on songs and music to get through it. So, now I'm here as a singer and a songwriter. It's a dream-come-true to be part of a song that is helping other girls, other queens and everyone of all ages to get through their hardship to accept themselves," she said. She went on to dedicate the award to everyone who "has their doors closed at them, and that, I can confidently say 'rejection is redirection,' and so never give up." The Golden Globe feat arrived just a week after KPop Demon Hunters won the Best Animated Feature and another prize for Golden at the Critics Choice Awards. KPop Demon Hunters, a collaboration between Netflix and Sony Pictures Animation, follows the adventures of Huntrix, a K-pop girl group that secretly battles monsters from the underworld, as per the outlet. The film has emerged as Netflix's most popular title to date. Its soundtrack spent several weeks in the top 10 of the Billboard 200 chart, while Golden reached the top spot on Billboard's Hot 100, according to The Hollywood Reporter.

12 January,2026 11:48 AM IST | Los Angeles | mid-day online correspondentTimothee Chalamet won his first Golden Globe at Sunday's ceremony, while One Battle After Another and Sinners collected multiple awards, and Amy Poehler won for best podcast. The win Sunday for Chalamet was possible foreshadowing for the 30-year-old star's first Oscar. Though he memorably won at the Screen Actors Guild Awards last year for A Complete Unknown, Chalamet had been winless in four previous Globes nominations. Fellow nominees like Leonardo DiCaprio and George Clooney stood to applaud his win. "My dad instilled in me a spirit of gratitude growing up: Always be grateful for what you have," said Chalamet. "It's allowed me to leave this ceremony in the past empty handed, my head held high, grateful just to be here. I'd be lying if I didn't say those moments didn't make this moment that much sweeter." The win for Chalamet was one of many that went to the favourites. That included three awards for the Oscar favourite One Battle After Another: Paul Thomas Anderson for screenplay and for best director, and Teyana Taylor for best supporting female actor. Ryan Coogler's vampire horror film Sinners took two awards, for box office and cinematic achievement and for Ludwig Goransson's score, a trophy handed out during a commercial break. The win for box office and cinematic achievement, over franchise films like Avatar: Fire and Ash, was notable for Sinners, a movie that some reports labelled a qualified success on its release. But Sinners ultimately grossed USD 278 million domestically and USD 368 million worldwide, making it highest grossing original film in 15 years. "I just want to thank the audience for showing up," said Coogler. "It means the world." Also, as predicted, Best Supporting Actor went to Stellan Skarsgard for the Norwegian family drama Sentimental Value. It was the first major Hollywood movie award for the 74-year-old, a respected veteran actor who drew a standing ovation. "I was not prepared for this because I, of course, thought I was too old," said Skarsgard. Rose Byrne won best female actor in a comedy or musical for her performance in the not especially funny A24 indie If I Had Legs I'd Kick You. At the 83rd Golden Globes, Poehler won the inaugural award for podcasting, KPop Demons Hunters triumphed in the best song and animated categories and Seth Rogen won a comically poignant award for his Hollywood satire The Studio. For the first year, the Globes handed out a best podcast trophy. It went to Good Hang, the recently launched podcast by Poehler, who for years hosted the Globes with Tina Fey. Snoop Dogg presented the award. "This is exactly how I pictured it: Snoop Dogg giving me the award," said Poehler. It was a fittingly odd moment for a Golden Globes that featured a very meta moment with Rogen winning best actor in a comedy series. The Studio memorably included an episode devoted to drama around a night at the Globes. (Sample line: "I remember when the red carpet of the Golden Globes actually stood for something.") "This is so weird," Rogen said, chuckling. "We just pretended to do this. And now it's happening." The Globes, held at the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills, California, got underway with a pointedly political opening from host Nikki Glaser and an early award for the night's favourite, One Battle After Another. Emceeing the show for the second straight year, Glaser kicked off the show with self-aware satire. "Yes, the Golden Globes, without a doubt the most important thing happening in the world right now," she said. In a winning, rapid-fire opening monologue that landed some punch lines on the usual subjects "the age of Leonardo DiCaprio's dates, Kevin Hart's height " Glaser also dove right into some of her most topical material. For the on-the-block Warner Bros, Glaser started the bidding at USD 5. Referencing the Epstein files, she suggested best editing should go to the Justice Dept. The "most editing," however, she suggested deserved to go to Bari Weiss' new CBS News " a dig at the Paramount Skydance-owned network airing the Globes. The night's first award went to Teyana Taylor for her explosive supporting performance in One Battle After Another. A teary-eyed Taylor took the stage and accepted what could be the first of many awards for Paul Thomas Anderson's film. "To my brown sisters and little brown girls watching tonight, our softness is not a liability. Our depth is not too much. Our light does not need permission to shine. We belong in every room we walk into. Our voices matter and our dreams deserve space." Political tension and industrywide uncertainty were the prevailing moods heading into Sunday's awards. Hollywood is coming off a disappointing box-office year and now anxiously awaits the fate of one of its most storied studios, Warner Bros. Following the fatal shooting of Megan Good in Minneapolis by a US Immigration and Customs Enforcement officer, several attendees wore pins reading "Be Good" and "US Immigration and Customs Enforcement Out". The overwhelming Oscar favourite One Battle After Another, a movie where immigrant detention centers play a central role, came in with a leading nine nominations and won three awards.
