When the world's greatest athletes assemble in Tokyo for the Summer Olympic Games later this month, 19 service members will be helping represent the United States.
In a news release Monday, the Defense Department said that the U.S. Olympic team will include 17 soldiers, a Marine and a Coast Guardsman. That is a handful more than the 16 service members who represented the U.S. in Rio de Janeiro during the 2016 games.

The fallout from the 2020 pandemic continues, as the 78th annual Golden Globes nominations were just announced about a month after the ceremony's originally scheduled date.
Military-themed movies were nearly shut out of the awards, including a few titles and performances that had seemed like sure nominees and possible winners.
The Hollywood Foreign Press Association gives out the awards, which are traditionally considered a warmup and possible predictor for the Oscars. The ceremony is usually a raucous event with dinner and drinks at the Beverly Hilton Hotel, but this year's show will be held remotely with hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey appearing live from Los Angeles and New York City, respectively, on Feb. 28.

What a weird year for movies. I haven't seen a film in a theater since Vin Diesel's "Bloodshot" in early March and the release schedule has been decimated by theater closings brought on by the coronavirus pandemic.
"Top Gun: Maverick" looms large over 2020. The film first lost its summer release date and then the producers (wisely, it turns out) gave up on a Christmas release. We won't see the movie until July 2021 and that's only if the recovery goes according to plan.
There's also "No Time to Die," the James Bond movie that was completed over a year ago and was the first major release to pull the plug this year. Daniel Craig's last performance as 007 is now scheduled for spring, but that date is starting to look a bit questionable if things don't turn around soon.
