Baby Yoda aka The Child is not just a pop culture phenomenon, but now also a major awards winner: “The Mandalorian,” which put its brand-new streamer Disney Plus squarely on the Emmys’ map this year with 15 overall nominations, picked up its first statues at the Creative Arts ceremony on Wednesday night.
“The Mandalorian” picked up special visual effects, sound editing, sound mixing, production design and cinematography awards during the third of five nights designed to hand out the 72nd Annual artisans’ awards (also the first night in which scripted categories made an appearance). These five awards see the “Star Wars” universe-set drama leading the pack for the most awards from voters for the year.
HBO’s “Watchmen” and VH1’s “RuPaul’s Drag Race” have racked up the second-most awards thus far, with four apiece. “Watchmen” scored their statues all on this third night, while “Drag Race’s” wins were announced on Monday,...

The Academy has announced the new class of invited members for 2014 and, as is typical, many of which are among last year's nominees, which includes Barkhad Abdi, Michael Fassbender, Sally Hawkins, Mads Mikkelsen, Lupita Nyong'o and June Squibb in the Actors branch not to mention curious additions such as Josh Hutcherson, Rob Riggle and Jason Statham, but, okay. The Directors branch adds Jay and Mark Duplass along with Jean-Marc Vallee, Denis Villeneuve and Thomas Vinterberg. I didn't do an immediate tally of male to female additions or other demographics, but at first glance it seems to be a wide spread batch of new additions on all fronts. The Academy is also clearly attempting to aggressively bump up the demographics as this is the second year in a row where they have added a large number of new members, well over the average of 133 new members from 2004 to 2012. As far as...

Michael Fassbender and Lupita Nyong’o of 12 Years a Slave were two of the 271 artists and industry leaders invited to become members of the Academy of Motion Picture Arts and Sciences, which determines nominations and winners at the annual Oscars. The entire list of Academy membership—which numbers about 6,000—isn’t public information so the annual invitation list is often the best indication of the artists involved in the prestigious awards process. It’s worth noting that invitations need to be accepted in order for artists to become members; some artists, like two-time Best Actor winner Sean Penn, have declined membership over the years.

Pop quiz: What do Chris Rock, Claire Denis, Eddie Vedder and Josh Hutcherson all have in common? Answer: They could all be Oscar voters very soon. The annual Academy of Motion Pictures Arts & Sciences invitation list always makes for interesting reading, shedding light on just how large and far-reaching the group's membership is -- or could be, depending on who accepts their invitations. This year, 271 individuals have been asked to join AMPAS, meaning every one of them could contribute to next year's Academy Awards balloting -- and it's as diverse a list as they've ever assembled. Think the Academy consists entirely of fusty retired white dudes? Not if recent Best Original Song nominee Pharrell Williams takes them up on their offer. Think it's all just a Hollywood insiders' game? Not if French arthouse titans Chantal Akerman and Olivier Assayas join the party. It's a list that subverts expectation at every turn.

Former Emmerdale actor Seamus Gubbins has avoided a jail sentence over a cannabis factory that he set up at his home. The 48-year-old, who played Ray Mullan on the ITV1 soap in 2001 and 2002, was arrested and charged in August after 25 plants worth up to £24,800 were found at his rented house in Walton, Liverpool. Gubbins had claimed that he was growing the plants for his own personal use and not for commercial gain. However, Judge David Fletcher yesterday (September 19) rejected this claim at the Liverpool North Community Justice Centre. The ex-soap star was handed a 12-month jail term which was suspended (more)...

Ex-Emmerdale actor Seamus Gubbins has been arrested on suspicion of running a cannabis farm. Gubbins, best known for portraying stalker Ray Mullan in ITV's rural soap, has pleaded guilty on the charge that he was using the Class B drug for his own use. The value of the plant drug yield was between £12,500 and £24,800, according to the Daily Star. The father-of-two, born in Ireland, could face a jail sentence as long as two years. Judge David Fletcher adjourned the case, acknowledging that Gubbins could have used his 25 plants for commercial purposes. "There is undoubtedly (more)...

A young duo in L.A. have created a clever urban hack, that encourages people to replant their neighborhoods.
If you live or work in a city, odds are, you passed a vacant lot or an ugly, barren strip of soil at some point today. Now imagine if that eyesore were transformed into a wild garden. But how?
Greenaid, a project by two recent grads of Otis College of Art and Design in L.A., Kim Karlsrud and Daniel Phillips, is a plan to distribute candy machines loaded with "seedbombs"--seeds packed in nuggets of nutrient clay, which anyone can then throw onto a strip of land. Within a week or so, up come green shoots.
The project, like countless other small-business ideas bubbling up around the country, might never have been born without the recession. Soon after graduation, Phillips was laid off from his job at an architecture firm...
