Every year, I try to keep track of all the great performances, and midway through the year, I’ve basically lost count. Even though studios try to hold back the goods until Oscar season, there’s no stopping the sheer amount of phenomenal work that actors deliver throughout the year, and 2015 was no different. Across languages, backgrounds, franchises, and genres, there was no place where these performances were just contained to one kind of role....

A few new details for the upcomingCaptain Marvelmovie have emerged today, thanks to a cover story rollout fromEW. It looks like when we first meet the titular hero Carol Danvers (played byBrie Larson), it will not be to uncover her origins. Instead, the movie will begin with Carol fully in command of her powers, having “left her earthly life behind to join an elite Kree military team called Starforce, led byJude Law’s enigmatic commander....

It’s the most romantic day of the year and even the aliens onSolar Oppositesare getting in on the act. Collider is delighted to be partnering with Hulu to bring our readers not one, buttwofun clips featuring one of the show’s stars,Dan Stevens.

Unlike most movie campaigns which play it safe and hit the same notes we have seen again and again, what I love about the marketing for bothDeadpoolandDeadpool 2is Fox is always trying something new to promote the film.

WithFinal Fantasy XVdue to be released tomorrow after being in in development for over ten years, I’ve thought a lot about my relationship to theFinal Fantasyfranchise. There have been a slew of ads for the latest main installment in the franchise (there have been countless other games bearing the “Final Fantasy” moniker, but I’ve never paid them much mind with the exception ofFinal Fantasy Tactics Advanced), and yet every time I see an ad touting the next great fantasy, I find that I don’t care at all....

Welcome toFor Your Consideration, the Collider show that breaks down awards season with hostsScott Mantz,Perri NemiroffandJeff Sneider, who offer their Best Original Screenplay predictions. Not only is this category competitive this year, but it’s also fairly wide open, with no clear frontrunner in sight. Since, acting-wise,Romais led by women andGreen Bookis led by men, those two films won’t square off against each other in any of the acting races, but this is the category where they’ll clash before Best Picture is given out....
