The awards season is in full swing with several acclaimed films and TV shows taking home top honours. With the 2024 Emmys just around the corner, we share our predictions of who will and who should win the accolades in the realm of television. HBO’s satirical drama Succession is expected to sweep several categories, while shows such as The Last of Us, The Bear, and Abbott Elementary, will attempt to stake their claim to a few Emmys themselves. AMC’s excellent Better Call Saul has been nominated for a few categories, but the fan-favourite Breaking Bad spin-off might fall short yet again. Speaking of spin-offs, House of Dragon is yet another high-profile spin-off, despite its popularity, that could leave the Peacock Theater in Los Angeles empty-handed. Read more

The Golden Globes 2024 awards ceremony was a star-studded affair at the Beverly Hilton, with filmmakers and actors from across film and television in attendance. Typical of award ceremonies, there were plenty of jaw-dropping wins and a few shocking snubs. There was even a new category introduced this year called the Cinematic and Box Office Achievement, which several commentators labelled as a token award created just so that Barbie took home at least one Globe this year. And as it turns out, it did. Whereas, Oppenheimer, the other half of the cultural phenomenon Barbenheimer, deservedly won top honours including Best Drama Film, Best Actor, Best Director, and Best Supporting Actor, among others. The sci-fi dark comedy Poor Things and the HBO drama Succession predictably won big at the ceremony. And the biggest snub of the year was Celine Song’s debut romantic drama Past Lives. Despite being widely regarded as one of the best films of 2023 receiving several accolades including five Golden Globes nominations, Past Lives failed to win a single award. Read more

From Indian 2 to Viduthalai Part 2, 2024 is packed with big ticket South Indian releases and we can’t wait to watch them all. There was a time when regional film industries used to be confined to their respective states. But the ‘pan-India’ phenomena in recent years has elevated regional movies, particularly from South Indian industries, to receive national recognition. In such a light, language has become inconsequential and after all, great content has a universal language. In recent years, this has been confirmed by the success of movies such as Pushpa, RRR, KGF and many others which have taken the nation by storm. So it’s hardly surprising that in 2024, these regional film industries will continue to realise unique stories distinguished by grandeur, authenticity, cultural depth, and larger than life appeal. In today’s episode of List Hai Toh Hit Hai, we’ve filtered the most anticipated South Indian films of 2024 that you just can’t wait to watch. So get ready to mark your calendar now. Read more

So in this episode of List Hai Toh Hit Hai, we’ve cobbled together a list of Hollywood films to look forward to in 2024. Read more

Netflix’s latest release titled Rebel Moon — Part One: A Child of Fire has received mixed reviews. Considering Zack Snyder’s cultural influences and his ability to create countless discourses about his films, it is no surprise that Rebel Moon has had this effect on audiences and critics. It can be best described as an engaging new space opera film, packed with visually arresting action and drama. The film’s flair and kitsch have been well received by viewers who’ve slotted it as one that may not win you over if you’ve not been a fan of Snyder’s characteristic style. Most criticism surrounding the film centers around the fact that the film feels like a reductive jumble of compelling visuals and genre-specific clichés, with little time and effort invested in character development. In any case, the film does lack coherence with a greater emphasis placed on style rather than content, which leaves significant narrative gaps. Read more
