'Cats' gets creamed at the Razzies
LOS ANGELES — It's the one award no Hollywood star wants to win.The Razzies unveiled their annual list of the year's most dreadful movies on Saturday, with the critically slated musical "Cats" at the top — or arguably rock bottom — of the charts.Among its nine unwanted nominations, "Cats" landed acting nods for Judi Dench, James Corden, and Rebel Wilson.The film — an adaptation of Andrew Lloyd Webber's musical — used computer-generated effects to morph its all-star cast into deeply unnerving half-human, half-cat hybrids.It received stunningly bad reviews. The Guardian called it a "dreadful hairball of woe," while for the Wall Street Journal it was "a confusing litter box of intentions"."Cats" received a further two...

LOS ANGELS — Los Angeles' long-awaited museum dedicated to the magic of movies will open this year and feature tributes to the late Kirk Douglas.The idea for an Academy Museum of Motion Pictures was first floated nearly a century ago, and its current futuristic incarnation has been beset by delays.On the eve of the Academy's flagship event — the Oscars — a nearly completed site was opened to journalists on Friday, showcasing a gleaming sphere made of glass, steel and concrete containing a state-of-the-art 1,000-seat theater.The orb-like structure — designed by Renzo Piano "as if it were floating" to symbolize "the fantasy and magic of the movies" — is connected by sky bridges to a converted department store housing the main galleries.Among the 13...

LOS ANGELES — For Hollywood's stuntmen, the sight of one of their own receiving an Oscar at this Sunday's ceremony would be a cause for celebration.Stunt performers have been campaigning for their own Academy Award for years, arguing their input equals that of the sound mixers, makeup artists and visual effects gurus already honored.But the "stuntman" favored to win this Sunday is Brad Pitt, nominated as best supporting actor for playing one in "Once Upon A Time... in Hollywood."For Los Angeles-based stunt performer and trainer Daniel Locicero, a win for Pitt would bring "good exposure" for his profession, but falls short of the real deal."I'm sure he had a double in the film!" joked Locicero, whose credits include 2017 Oscar-winning...

NEW YORK — A psychologist called by Harvey Weinstein's defense team said memories of an incident can become "contaminated" over time by new information, as testimony in his rape trial entered its closing stages on Friday.Elizabeth Loftus, a University of California, Irvine professor, said leading questioning about an event sometimes causes a "misinformation effect," where false details are incorporated into someone's memory."If you are urged to remember more, in trying to produce more to satisfy that situation, you may produce something like a guess and then it starts to feel like a memory," she testified.Since testimony began on Jan. 22, six women have taken the stand to say they were sexually assaulted by Weinstein.All of the allegations against...
