Gillian Anderson Has Split Up From “The Crown” Creator Peter Morgan
If you have a rabid Gillian Anderson fan in your life, today is not the day to bother them with non-urgent questions. They’re likely too busy trying to get a handle on the wide range of emotions they’re likely feeling upon learning that Gillian Anderson is single again. Because after four years of dating The Crown creator Peter Morgan, they’re done.
Netflix Says It Will NOT Add A Fiction Disclaimer To “The Crown”
Netflix has come to a decision about that fiction disclaimer Britain’s Culture Secretary, Oliver Dowden, wanted them to attach to their series The Crown. Variety says that while British cultural institutions don’t appreciate the dramatization of the Royal Family, they will have to deal with it. Netflix is going to show The Crown without a disclaimer.
Color Me BAFTA: Colorful Looks From The Red Carpet
Just because all of the BAFTA acting nominations went to white people, that doesn’t mean the white people that were nominated are afraid of a little color (not sure we can’t say the same for the BAFTA president Prince William). While some stars like Margot Robbie, who looked like she just came from a beloved aunt’s funeral (with Olivia Colman looking like said beloved aunt), went for basic black, and some like Renée Zellweger and Scarlett Johansson opted for a pastel palette, a few ladies took the opportunity to brighten up the foggy London town night by putting the “u” in colour. Take for example Florence Pugh whose hot pink housecoat doubles as a parachute in case the feds come knocking at the brothel door and she has to make a quick exit out of a 4th story window and hop into the horse drawn carriage waiting below.
Netflix Has Released The First Teaser Trailer For The Third Season Of “The Crown”
Funny, that’s the same look I gave Netflix when I finished watching the teaser trailer for the third season of The Crown and realized that Olivia Colman as Queen Elizabeth II appears for a mere four – FOUR – seconds. I might have even let out a disappointed, “What in Her Royal Highness Hell?” in a terrible British accent, too. But for those of you who will happily accept four seconds of Olivia’s version of the Queen, then this trailer is your cup of tea.
Gillian Anderson Is Likely Going To Play Margaret Thatcher On “The Crown”
The Crown is still casting and recasting its later seasons since Claire Foy as the Queen(and others) got replaced. Showrunners and Netflix have maintained they would swap the entire cast out every two seasons since it’s easier to go about portraying QE2 and the royal family aging that way instead of having Claire sit for hours while handlers try to apply wrinkles to her. Olivia Colman is playing Elizabeth in the third and fourth seasons, Helena Bonham Carter is Princess Margaret, and I’m mainly just curious what corgi litter will play the royal pups. Speaking of barking bitches, there’s now a report that Gillian Anderson is close to signing on to play Margaret Thatcher.
Angelina Jolie Decided To Fulfill Someone’s Feathered 60s Fantasy Last Night (And Other Looks From The Golden Globes)
Almost everyone who walked the Golden Globes red carpet this year wore black to protest Hollywood’s sexual misconduct problem. One thing that wasn’t being protested was good taste. There were a lot of black velvet outfits on that red carpet. Sure, it’s a bit of an obvious choice, but a choice I was absolutely here for, because anything that makes my brain start blasting “Black Velvet” by Alannah Myles gets two thumbs up from me.
But some people went a little more experimental with their all-black interpretation. Like Angelina Jolie, who showed up to the Golden Globes in some goth Lawrence Welk Show realness by Atelier Versace. It’s a little Barbra Streisand at the 1969 Oscars, with a splash of 60s televangelist, all poured onto a fainting couch and garnished with, “But detective, I swear my husband was dead when I found him!”
