Cinema Chat: 05/27/21 SINGIN IN THE RAIN AND THE WIZARD OF OZ ARE NOT PART OF THE AMAZON DEAL Here’s why MGM has a long history of mergers and acquisitions revolving around its library.

It’s an unexpected turn of events reminiscent of the Harvey Weinstein-#MeToo cultural shift in 2017: Promising to turn over a new leaf is meaningless if the industry sees you as a noxious weed. On May 3, 2021, the HFPA announced plans for a reform package, including a 50% increase in members over the next 18 months with a particular focus on underrepresented groups. While Dick Clark Productions and NBC–the long-time producer and broadcaster of the Golden Globes respectively supported the planned reforms, Time s Up and a group of 100 PR firms criticized the lack of given timelines for filling some of the new management positions, arguing that ....
