8 d. ago Too evil! Too smutty! Too Thatcher! When TV stars demand their scenes are cut

Not all actors are comfortable with baring their behinds or their souls. From Bridgerton to The Sopranos, some have insisted on moments being axed – although they don’t always get their wayAs professional show-offs with A-list ambitions, you might assume that any TV star wants to maximise their screen time – the meatier the role and the more minutes in the limelight, the better. Yet that isn’t always the case. Sometimes, actors want their scenes to be cut, either from the script or from the edit. And they can have all sorts of reasons, from personal politics to second thoughts about stripping off.The recent Channel 4 docudrama Brian and Maggie, written by Sherwood’s James Graham, saw Dame Harriet Walter deliver a nuanced, non-cartoonish portrayal of the, let’s say, “divisive” figure of Margaret Thatcher. The lady wasn’t for turning. She was for being left on the cutting room floor, though. Continue reading...

9 d. ago ‘Writhing in agony’: how are we only now learning Andrew Scott passed a kidney stone at the 2020 Sags?

The actor made it through his own nomination but was then ushered to an ambulance – an extraordinary performance from an apparently limitless talentAwards season is hard for everyone. It’s hard for the people organising the awards, because there are now so many award ceremonies compressed into such a brief window that it’s difficult to stand out. It’s difficult for the people who are nominated for the awards, who either have to show up with a new and interesting acceptance speech every time, or settle into a sustained pattern of repeated failure. It’s hard for journalists, who have to cover the awards. It’s hard for readers, who have to keep reading about them.But nobody, nobody on Earth, had a worse awards season than Andrew Scott did in 2020. This is the year that he found himself nominated for outstanding actor in a comedy series at the Screen Actors Guild awards, for his role as the priest in Fleabag. It wasn’t bad because he was clearly the underdog, up against household names ...

2 w. ago The Guardian view on the US, China and the rest: Trump is opening doors for Xi | Editorial

The US president’s bullying of allies and partners is short-termist and will boost Beijing’s power, not Washington’sDonald Trump’s return to the White House is so far proving more nightmarish for US allies and friends than adversaries. China certainly doesn’t relish a trade war with the US, but it was better prepared than others for Mr Trump’s tariffs, and both sides appear to be leaving room for a potential deal. And, though China’s leader, Xi Jinping, is poised for worse to come, the second Trump term is bringing Beijing opportunities as well as problems.International respect for the US plummeted under his last administration. As the US president turns the screws on long-term partners, China is looking to take advantage.
