Ryan Reynolds advocates for the comedy genre getting more Oscars recognition.
Each year, the announcement of Academy Award nominations sparks debate over major “snubs,” and some Oscar decisions remain controversial for years. Now, Ryan Reynolds, fresh off his success with Deadpool & Wolverine, has shared what he believes is one of the Oscars’ “greatest injustices.” Speaking on Variety’s Awards Circuit podcast, Reynolds ruled out hosting the 97th Academy Awards with co-star Hugh Jackman, citing their busy schedules. However, he voiced a desire for more comedies to receive Oscar recognition, pointing to Eddie Murphy’s performance in The Nutty Professor as a notable snub. Reynolds argued that Murphy deserved a Best Actor nomination for his portrayal of multiple characters in the 1996 film, which received positive reviews and highlighted Murphy’s versatility. While Murphy did receive a Golden Globe nomination, he was overlooked at the Oscars, where only Tom Cruise’s role in Jerry Maguire represented comedic performances.
Ryan Reynolds says he wants to see more comedies recognized by the Oscars.
“One of the greatest, most, greatest injustices is that Eddie Murphy doesn’t have an Oscar for ‘The Nutty Professor’”

Barry Keoghan’s Joker spin off reportedly in the works at Max.
HBO Max is reportedly developing a series starring Barry Keoghan as the Joker, following the success of The Penguin, a spin-off of The Batman. Director Matt Reeves established a shared Batman universe with his 2022 film and has since produced The Penguin for HBO and the animated Batman: Caped Crusader for Amazon Prime. According to the Marvelvision podcast, Keoghan will reprise his role as the Joker, first seen in a cameo in The Batman where he interacts with Paul Dano’s Riddler in Arkham Asylum. The series is expected to build toward his role as Batman’s ultimate foe in The Batman Part 3, with plans mirroring the success of The Penguin’s model. This Joker series follows the financial disappointment of Joker: Folie à Deux, which starred Joaquin Phoenix and Lady Gaga and reportedly resulted in a $125–200 million loss for Warner Bros.

Argentine authorities have charged three individuals in connection with the death of former One Direction singer Liam Payne, who fell from his Buenos Aires hotel balcony last month. Payne’s passing at age 31 shocked fans worldwide, with questions arising about the circumstances. A 911 call from a hotel employee on the day of his death reported that Payne was behaving aggressively and may have been under the influence. An autopsy later revealed traces of alcohol, cocaine, and an antidepressant in his system. The suspects include an alleged drug dealer, a hotel employee accused of supplying Payne with cocaine during his stay, and a close acquaintance charged with “abandonment of a person followed by death.” Authorities have prohibited the suspects from leaving Argentina as they continue investigating, including efforts to retrieve information from Payne’s damaged laptop.
