Rumor Has It an iPhone 13 With 1 TB Storage Is Coming - Gizmodo

If you’re the type of person that still needs more storage, Apple might have answered your prayers.

According to 9to5Mac, there are indications that this year’s iPhone lineup—yes, we’re talking about the next one already—will have 1 TB storage. The outlet cited analysts at the investment firm Wedbush, which pointed to supply chain checks as evidence. Currently, the most storage offered on iPhones is 512 GB, so an iPhone 13 with 1 TB of storage would be a first for Apple.

This isn’t the first time this rumor has shown up in Appleland. Back in October, Apple leaker Jon Prosser—who, it should be noted, isn’t always right—also teased about this possibility. Prosser reiterated this prediction in January on Front Page Tech, saying that most of the iPhone 13 high-end prototypes do feature 1 TB of storage.

“We’re in early stages of iPhone 13 right now and we kind of just have prototypes to go off of, which means that not much is actually final,” Prosser said in January. “But I will tell you that most of those prototypes, I’m being told, do feature a terabyte of storage. That is, prototypes for the pro models.”

If the rumor is true, Apple wouldn’t be the first company to make 1TB phones. Samsung and Asus started offering phones with 1TB storage capacity back in 2019.

G/O Media may get a commission

Other reliable chatter indicates that Apple’s newest lineup will maintain four models again this year. In other words, we’re likely looking at an iPhone 13 Mini, an iPhone 13, an iPhone 13 Pro, and an iPhone 13 Pro Max. The difference between them, which is something we all know by now, would be the cameras. And if this new rumor is true, it could also be storage—and more than we’ve ever seen on an iPhone before.

In any given year, awards-season viewers are doing some combination of reveling in the booze-filled loosie-goosey nature of the Golden Globes while bemoaning the ostensible arbitrariness of many of its nominees and winners. Do you recall the movie Salmon Fishing in the Yemen? (Three nods in 2012, including best picture.) And really, The Kominsky Method beat out shows like Barry and The Good Place for best TV drama in 2019? How?!

The mood going into this year's Globes ceremony was different, however, and not just because the producers had Covid-related logistics to work out for a mostly virtual event. Just a few days earlier, the Los Angeles Times published two investigations looking into the inner workings of the mysterious Hollywood Foreign Press Association, an organization of 87 "journalists" who vote on the awards. Those exposés unveiled a number of details which suggest the Globes are more frivolous (and corrupt) than even the most cynical among us may have considered. Among the reveals: a number of HFPA members were fabulously flown in to France and wined and dined for a set visit to Emily in Paris, the wildly popular but critically reviled show which received three head-scratching nominations. Also, there are currently zero Black members in the HFPA.

On Sunday night, the ceremony addressed the diversity PR nightmare head-on, first via the opening banter between returning co-hosts Amy Poehler and Tina Fey, who were broadcast from the Beverly Hilton in Beverly Hills and the Rainbow Room in New York City, respectively. Sprinkled in between jokes about the differences between movies and television and an acknowledgement of the pandemic first responders in the audience, were cracks about the HFPA's membership ("around 90 international — no Black — journalists," a couple of whom "might be ghosts") and a more serious admission that worthy Black performances and creators were overlooked this year.

And a bit later in the evening, three members of the HFPA emerged from obscurity to pledge that the organization felt bad about all the negativity publicity and would commit to doing better about inclusion going forward. (There was no mention of whether or not all-expenses paid trips to fancy cities on a Hollywood studio's dime was also being reconsidered.)

Once the awards-giving kicked off, it was often a bumpy ride. While presenters appeared in person in either New York or L.A., nominees attended remotely from their respective homes. The potential for technical chaos was realized almost immediately, when Daniel Kaluuya, who won the first award of the night for his role as Fred Hampton in Judas and the Black Messiah, couldn't be heard while giving his acceptance speech. After a few moments, presenter Laura Dern noted the difficulties and attempted to quickly wrap up and move to the next segment; luckily, Kaluuya was able to jump back in, this time with sound in check, and deliver typically charming remarks.

YouTube

There were many more awkward sound-related issues, merely irritating and occasionally chaotic – was that acceptance speech where Catherine O'Hara, who took home an award for Schitt's Creek, kept being interrupted by her husband Bo Welch's phone, a planned bit or a kerfluffle-turned-on-the-fly bit? I'm not sure, but whatever it was, it was a rare highlight in an otherwise dull night. The producers padded the run time with skits which, even in normal times, would feel forced – saved for a perfectly weird skit involving Maya Rudolph and Kenan Thompson donning faux French accents, anything not directly related to the presentation of awards was superfluous.

The big winners of the night were a mixed bag of the surprising and predictable. Nomadland won best motion picture, drama, and its director Chloe Zhao became the first Asian woman to win the best director award – and first woman since Barbra Streisand won for Yentl nearly 40 years ago. Chadwick Boseman received a posthumous honor for Ma Rainey's Black Bottom in the best actor, drama category; his widow, Taylor Simone Ledward gave a stirring, heartbreaking speech on his behalf. Andra Day triumphed for her first feature starring role in The United States vs. Billie Holiday in a stacked category that included Viola Davis and Frances McDormand.

While Emily In Paris went home empty-handed – Netflix must be wondering, was that all-expenses paid set visit for all those HFPA members worth it after all? – crowd-pleaser The Queen's Gambit beat out Steve McQueen's transformative Small Axe for best limited series, drama. (Though John Boyega earned his first Globe win for his role in Red, White and Blue, one of the films in Small Axe.)

YouTube

The show was at its best when the veterans were involved. The 98-year-old Norman Lear was given the Carol Burnett Award for "outstanding contributions to television," and, perhaps because it was coordinated ahead of time, the TV titan had by far the sharpest audio and visual set-up of all the remote celebrities. He kept his remarks short and sweet, proving yet again that he is a national treasure. Ditto Jane Fonda, who appeared in-person at the Rainbow Room to accept the other honorary award of the evening, the Cecil B. DeMille award. In one of the most riveting moments of the night, she gave a shout out to the recent works that inspired her, including Nomadland, Judas and the Black Messiah, Minari (which won after being controversially nominated in the Best Foreign Language category) and I May Destroy You (which was notably shut out from any nominations despite its critical acclaim).

Perhaps the one saving grace of this snooze fest was that it ended under three and a half hours. But considering how much time the producers had to execute a smooth and relatively painless event – and that they could have looked to last fall's comparatively successful virtual Emmy Awards for guidance – this year's Golden Globes only further solidified the event's irrelevance, for everyone to witness.

Some Golden Globes Producer Is Getting Fired for Daniel Kaluuya’s Muted Speech - Vulture

After the dopamine high of Tina Fey and Amy Poehler’s opening monologue, the half virtual, half in-person Golden Globes was hit with its inevitable tech snafu: Daniel Kaluuya, the winner of Best Performance by an Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture for his captivating presence in Judas and the Black Messiah, nearly got his acceptance speech cut off due to silly technical difficulties that we’ll just blame on Zoom and definitely not a producer. But 20 seconds of dead air, a confused Laura Dern, and a smiling Bill Murray in a Hawaiian shirt later, Kaluuya was given time to finish his speech, and we’re very happy that we got to be reminded of his hot British accent. “You’re doing me dirty!” he said with a smile. “Like the great Nipsey Hussle said, We’re here to give until we’re empty, and I gave everything.”

Genshin Impact Reveals New Events Alongside Hu Tao | Screen Rant - Screen Rant

Genshin Impact developer MiHoYo has announced that new in-game events will be coming alongside the release of Hu Tao next week. The studio finally announced yesterday that Hu Tao will be the next playable character to join the game’s roster. Fans of Genshin Impact have been waiting anxiously for MiHoYo to confirm Hu Tao’s release during the game’s 1.3 update after several rumors and leaks about the character came out in the weeks before and after the launch of the update.

The game’s ongoing 1.3 update began almost a month ago with the release of Xiao and the start of the Lantern Rite Festival event. But unlike previous updates, which saw multiple new characters being released, Xiao was the only new character announced for the patch before it launched earlier this month. In spite of this, fans still hoped that MiHoYo would eventually release another new character before the end of the 1.3 update. The studio finally confirmed this right before the patch’s release but did not reveal which character would be added to the game until yesterday.

Continue scrolling to keep reading Click the button below to start this article in quick view.

MiHoYo announced the new events for the next phase of the 1.3 update on the Genshin Impact Twitter account, previewing some of the things that players can look forward to for the rest of the update’s lifespan. Firstly, the studio finally revealed the banner where players can attempt to summon Hu Tao, called “Moment of Bloom,” which will also include three already available 4-star characters, namely Chongyun, Xingqui, and Xiangling. As with every featured character banner, players will get to try out Hu Tao as well as two of the other banner characters in the character trial event.

Version 1.3 Events Preview (Phase 2)

As new version approaches, so too do new events — are you ready, Travelers? Scroll down and view the image below for details on upcoming events~

All times below based on server time.
More events are coming soon. Stay tuned!#GenshinImpact pic.twitter.com/Z7eThxgFjY

Hu Tao’s story quest, called “Papilio Charontis,” was also announced for release alongside the character, which will give players a chance to get to know more about the new Pyro polearm user. Players will also get the chance to earn Primogems and other rewards with the new “Vishaps and Where to Find Them” expedition event, the name of which is obviously a play on the movie series spin-off from the Harry Potter franchise.

Other than the new events, the ongoing “Epitome Invocation” weapon banner has been extended to coincide with the rest of phase 2 of the 1.3 update, which was expected considering that the banner features what is considered as Hu Tao’s best weapon (at least for now). The banner also includes new weapons that are pretty unique in that their stats increase when the player includes more Liyue-based characters in the party.

There’s definitely still a bit more for players to experience before the current patch ends and Genshin Impact moves on to its 1.4 update sometime next month. While the 1.3 update has been relatively smaller compared to its immediate predecessor, which added a brand-new region in Dragonspine, the Lantern Rite Festival was still able to provide players with at least a few entertaining activities, particularly the Theater Mechanicus tower defense mini-game.

Golden Globes winners 2021: The full list - Vox.com

The winners of the 2021 Golden Globes were crowned on Sunday night, in a bicoastal and bizarrely produced ceremony hosted by Tina Fey and Amy Poehler.

There were awkward Zoom moments aplenty. There were several uncomfortable but necessary mentions of the lack of diversity among this year’s nominees and within the notoriously corrupt organization that hands out the Golden Globes, the Hollywood Foreign Press Association. And in between, a variety of television shows and movies won new trophies!

On the TV side, Netflix drama The Crown was the winningest show of the evening, taking home four statuettes, including Best TV Series – Drama. It was joined on the winners list by its Netflix sibling The Queen’s Gambit, which won Best Limited TV Series, as well as Best Actress in a TV Drama for star Anya Taylor-Joy. And in the TV comedy categories, the beloved Canadian sitcom Schitt’s Creek capped off its sweep at last year’s Emmys with one more victory lap for its final season, winning Best TV Series and Best Actress for Catherine O’Hara.

On the film side, several movies won two Globes apiece. Searchlight Pictures’ Nomadland earned one for Best Motion Picture – Drama and one for director Chloé Zhao. Amazon Studios’ Borat Subsequent Moviefilm won Best Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical, and its star Sacha Baron Cohen won Best Actor in a Motion Picture – Comedy or Musical. And Pixar’s Soul won Best Animated Motion Picture and Best Original Score. The rest of the film awards were fairly spread out: Netflix’s Ma Rainey’s Black Bottom, I Care A Lot, and The Trial of the Chicago 7 all took home awards, as did HBO Max’s Judas and the Black Messiah, STXfilms’ The Mauritanian, and A24’s Minari.

Despite recent controversies and their reputation as the goofiest major entertainment industry awards show, the Golden Globes have long functioned as a prominent kickoff to Hollywood’s annual awards season. That’s still true in this atypical year. Though the 2021 edition of the Globes happened two months later than usual thanks to the pandemic, they still took place shortly before the close of Oscar voting and several weeks ahead of the Covid-19-delayed Oscar ceremony, which is slated for April 25. Thus, the Globes maintain their not-really-but-sometimes status as an Oscar indicator.

Tina Fey And Amy Poehler Really Roasted The Hell Out Of The Golden Globes - BuzzFeed News

NBC

Tina Fey in New York City and Amy Poehler in Beverly Hills.

How do you host an awards show held during a pandemic for films that most people couldn't see in theaters and which completely overlooked nominating a widely acclaimed TV series led by a Black woman?

By absolutely burning the whole damn thing down.

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler — hosting jointly but from New York City and Beverly Hills, respectively — decided to roast the hell out of the Golden Globes on Sunday night, using their opening monologue to lean into the controversies that have dogged the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the group of international journalists who hand out the awards and who have a reputation for being, well, star-fuckers.

"The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is made up of around 90 international, no-Black journalists who attend movie junkets each year in search for a better life," said Fey.

The HFPA has in recent days drawn the ire of celebrities for the fact that the group hasn't had a Black member in some 20 years. Stars and Hollywood moguls including Ava DuVernay, Shonda Rhimes, Jennifer Aniston, Sterling K. Brown, Kerry Washington, and Ellen Pompeo have shared messages on social media saying that "Time's Up" for the HFPA to do more in terms of diversity.

The Golden Globes also was scorned this year for ignoring Michaela Coel’s critically acclaimed TV series I May Destroy You, while favoring less well received shows like Emily In Paris after 30 HFPA were flown to Paris by Netflix to visit the show's set, where they were put up in $1,400-a-night hotel rooms and treated "like kings and queens," according to the Los Angeles Times.

"Emily In Paris is nominated for Best TV Series Musical Or Comedy, and I, for one, cannot wait to find out which it is," joked Fey. "French Exit is what I did after watching the first episode of Emily in Paris."

This week, the HFPA pledged to immediately work to bring in more members who are Black or from underrepresented backgrounds. They also said that the issue would be addressed on Sunday's show — and it was.

"Everybody is understandably upset at the HFPA and their choices," Poehler said. "Look, a lot of flashy garbage got nominated, but that happens. That's, like, their thing. But a number of Black actors and Black-led projects were overlooked."

"Look, we all know award shows are stupid," Fey said.

"They're all a scam invented by Big Red Carpet," joked Poehler.

"The point is, even with stupid things, inclusivity is important and there are no Black members of the Hollywood Foreign Press," Fey said. "I realize, HFPA, maybe you guys didn't get the memo because your workplace is a back booth of a French McDonald's, but you gotta change that."

Fey was the subject of some debate in recent months for her work in the movie Soul, which featured Disney Pixar's first Black lead character, but drew criticism because he was quickly transported into the body of a cat.

"Soul is a beautiful Pixar animated movie where a middle aged Black man's soul accidentally gets knocked out of his body and into a cat," said Fey in her opening monologue. "The HFPA really responded to this movie because they do have five cat members."

While a few stars served as presenters at Sunday's show, the nominees all stayed home due to the coronavirus pandemic and winners were promised they would receive their awards in the coming days.

Most nominees still dressed up for the ceremony, wearing dresses and tuxedos, but others, like Billy Murray, opted for a quarantine casual look.

Fey and Poehler also decided to acknowledge the coronavirus-sized elephant in the room: most US theaters have been closed for a year so it's been a little difficult for us viewers to tell the difference between TV and movies.

"It's hard to tell them apart because movie theaters were closed and we watched everything on our phones," Poehler said.

"Now, TV is the one that I watch five hours straight," she added, "but a movie is the one that I don't turn on because it's two hours. I don't want to be in front of my TV for two hours. I want to be in front of the TV for one hour five times."

And much like your Zoom calls this past year, the show featured some embarrassing audio moments.

Unlike the Emmys, Sunday's Globes did feature a live audience for Fey and Poehler to play off of, with a few masked first responders and essential workers invited to sit in the seats normally reserved for big stars.

"We are so grateful for the work that you do," said Fey, "and that you are here so that the celebrities can stay safely at home."

Meghan Markle dazzles in $4,700 Armani dress for Oprah interview - Page Six

The first look at Meghan Markle and Prince Harry’s upcoming tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey has arrived — and for the occasion, the Duchess of Sussex certainly dressed to impress.

For her sit-down with the talk-show icon, a teaser for which aired Sunday night, 39-year-old Markle donned a $4,700 black gown by Armani with a belted waist and foliage embroidery.

Unsurprisingly, her exact style is already sold out, but a similar (albeit embellished) version is still available for the same price.

Along with her signature messy bun, the Duchess accessorized with her favorite suede Aquazzura pumps ($695) and Cartier Love bracelet ($6,550), along with an aquamarine necklace by Pippa Small and blue topaz Birks earrings, both of which are now sold out.

But the real crown jewel of Markle’s ensemble? Her dainty diamond bracelet, believed to be a Cartier heirloom once owned by Princess Diana.

Incidentally, 36-year-old Prince Harry’s late mother looks to be a major talking point of the upcoming interview; at one point in the teaser, he tells Winfrey, “My biggest concern was history repeating itself.”

Continues the Duke of Sussex in the clip, “You know, for me, I’m just really relieved and happy to be sitting here talking to you with my wife by my side because I can’t begin to imagine what it must have been like for her going through this process by herself all those years ago. Because it has been unbelievably tough for the two of us but at least we had each other.”

Winfrey’s CBS interview with the Sussexes, during which the pair will open up about their decision to leave the royal family and move to California, will air in a two-hour exclusive primetime special on Sunday, March 7.

Golden Globes 2021: Tina Fey, Amy Poehler skewer the group behind the ceremony - NBC News

Tina Fey and Amy Poehler, stationed on opposite sides of the country, kicked off the 78th Golden Globe Awards on Sunday with one-liners about the unusual format of the pandemic-era telecast and the renewed scrutiny of the organization behind the show.

"Normally, this room is full of celebrities, but tonight our audience on both coasts is made up of smoking-hot first responders and essential workers," Fey said from the Rainbow Room in New York. "We are so grateful for the work that you do and that you're here, so that the celebrities can stay safely at home."

The coronavirus crisis forced the producers of the Golden Globes to put on a largely virtual telecast, with nominees beamed in from their homes and hotel rooms via Zoom. Poehler, speaking to a small audience of masked guests at the Beverly Hilton in California, jokingly recalled that the ceremony is typically a free-wheeling, champagne-soaked party.

The co-hosts, featured on a split screen, also nodded to the recent criticism of the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the small organization of international journalists that votes on nominees and winners — specifically the fact that the group does not have a single Black member.

March 1, 202101:05

"The Hollywood Foreign Press Association is made up of around 90 international, no-Black journalists who attend movie junkets each year in search of a better life," Fey said. "We say around 90, because a couple of them might be ghosts, and it's rumored that the German member is just a sausage that somebody drew a little face on."

In the first 30 minutes of the show, which aired on NBC, three members of the group appeared on stage and pledged to diversify their ranks.

"We recognize we have our own work to do. Just like in film and television, Black representation is vital. We must have Black journalists in our organization," said Helen Hoehne, the association's vice president.

Meher Tatna, the chairman of the board, added: "We must also ensure everyone from all underrepresented communities gets a seat at our table, and we are going to make that happen."

Two entertainment industry luminaries received lifetime achievement honors. Norman Lear, the storied creator of seminal sitcoms such as "All in the Family," was given the Carol Burnett Award, named for the comedian of the same name. Jane Fonda, the trailblazing actor and activist, accepted the Cecil B. DeMille Award.

In a passionate speech, Fonda paid tribute to the power of movies to foster empathy and called on Hollywood to push for diversity on screen, behind the camera and in board rooms.

The night included a few technical glitches. The first winner of the night — Daniel Kaluuya of "Judas and the Black Messiah" — began to give his acceptance speech with the sound off. The presenter, Laura Dern, apologized to Kaluuya, who won best supporting actor for his turn as slain Black Panthers leader Fred Hampton.

But then Kaluuya's sound came on. He jokingly wagged his finger at the camera and said, "You're doing me dirty!"

Golden Globes' technical glitches spark stars, viewers to react: 'Can you hear me now?' - Fox News

As the Golden Globes went virtual this year amid the coronavirus pandemic, viewers couldn't help but notice the glaring technical issues.

During the first award of the evening, viewers couldn't hear Daniel Kaluuya's acceptance speech after he won best performance by an actor in a supporting role in any motion picture. He earned the honor for his role in "Judas and the Black Messiah."

After seconds of dead air, the cameras going back to presenter Laura Dern, the issues were eventually worked out and the cameras returned to Kaluuya, 32.

"Can you hear me now?" he joked before delving into his acceptance speech.

First look at Meghan and Harry's astonishing tell-all with Oprah - Page Six

Meghan Markle is poised to say that life in the royal family was “almost unsurvivable” in an astonishing tell-all interview with Oprah Winfrey.

The first glimpse of Winfrey’s CBS interview with Markle and husband Prince Harry aired Sunday night during an ad break for “60 Minutes.”

And what the couple tell Winfrey is so sensational that the legendary host says, “You’ve said some pretty shocking things here … wait, hold up, wait a minute.”

Cradling her middle, pregnant Markle — who doesn’t speak in the trailer — looks at the billionaire media mogul as Winfrey asks her, “Were you silent or were you silenced?”

Winfrey adds, “I just want to make it clear to everybody there is no subject that’s off limits.”

In another moment, she says to Markle, “Almost unsurvivable sounds like there was a breaking point.”

Dressed in a belted Giorgio Armani gown that retails for $4,700, and with her hair pulled away from her face, Markle, 39, is then joined by her 36-year-old husband.

The pair clutches hands as Harry, who has frequently spoken of his heartbreak at the death of his mother Princess Diana — tells Winfrey, “My biggest concern was history repeating itself.”

Speaking further on his mother, who in her famous 1995 BBC interview with Martin Bashir broke her silence on Prince Charles’ affair with Camilla Parker Bowles, Harry makes it clear that he is still agonized over her passing.

He says, “You know, for me, I’m just really relieved and happy to be sitting here talking to you with my wife by my side because I can’t begin to imagine what it must have been like for her going through this process by herself all those years ago.

“Because it has been unbelievably tough for the two of us but at least we had each other.”

Winfrey’s interview has been extended to a two-hour exclusive primetime special to air Sunday, March 7.

The pair will speak on their decision to leave the royal family and move to California with their baby son Archie.

A source told Page Six of the tell-all, “It is in-depth and fascinating.”

Lawyer Seeks Sexual Abuse Investigation Against T.I. and Tiny - Yahoo Entertainment

A lawyer representing nearly a dozen people is calling for a sexual abuse investigation against rapper T.I. and his wife Tameka “Tiny” Harris.

In a letter sent to state and federal authorities in Georgia and California, lawyer Tyrone A. Blackburn, who is representing the 11 “victimized” people, alleged “sexual abuse, forced ingestion of illegal narcotics, kidnapping, terroristic threats and false imprisonment” against the rapper (birth name Clifford Harris) and his wife spanning from 2005 to 2018, the New York Times reports.

Five of the victims cited in the letters claimed they were raped or sexually assaulted by the couple. One of the women, a military veteran, says she was drugged by the couple after meeting them at a club; she was later taken to their hotel room — experiencing the effects of the alleged drugging — where she claimed Tiny bathed her and T.I., and the three then engaged in sex, during which the woman vomited.

“The next thing she remembers was waking up naked on the couch, with a towel thrown over her, with a very sore vagina,” the letter states. Friends of the woman corroborated her story to the Times.

In a statement to Rolling Stone, the couple’s lawyer Steve Sadow said, “Clifford (T.I.) and Tameka Harris deny in the strongest possible terms these unsubstantiated and baseless allegations. We are confident that if these claims are thoroughly and fairly investigated, no charges will be forthcoming. These allegations are nothing more than the continuation of a sordid shakedown campaign that began on social media. The Harrises implore everyone not to be taken in by these obvious attempts to manipulate the press and misuse the justice system.”

After multiple women shared their accusations of sexual abuse against T.I. and Tiny on social media — including Sabrina Peterson, who in January accused T.I. of putting a gun to her head in an Instagram post. She then used her account to share statements from over 30 women who claimed they had been drugged, coerced or forced into sex, and trafficked by the Harrises — production was halted on the fourth season of the couple’s VH1. reality show T.I. and Tiny: Friends and Family Hustle. Blackburn told the Times that none of his clients were among the women who alleged sexual abuse on social media.

A spokesperson for MTV Entertainment said, “We are aware of the allegations, and while they are not connected to our show, we have reached out to T.I. and Tameka Harris, as well as local and state officials. Given the serious nature of the allegations, we have decided to suspend production in order to gather more information.”

T.I.’s spokesperson said in a statement, “Mr. and Mrs. Harris want to be on record and more importantly want the public to know they emphatically deny in the strongest way possible the egregiously appalling allegations being made against them by Sabrina Peterson. The Harrises have had difficulty with this woman for well over a decade. They are taking this matter very seriously, and if these allegations don’t end, they will take appropriate legal action.”

T.I. himself addressed the allegations in a January 29th eight-minute video posted on Instagram. “We vehemently deny ALL these disgusting, anonymous allegations,” the rapper wrote, saying that while “women who have been victimized deserve to be heard… however, evil has no gender. People with evil intentions have no gender. A threat comes in all shapes and sizes. I would never treat a woman the same way I would treat a threat.”

Golden Globes 2021: What to Expect and Highlights - The New York Times

“Mank,” David Fincher’s black-and-white tale of Old Hollywood, is nominated for six trophies at Sunday’s Golden Globe Awards, the most of any film. It has been available for viewing on Netflix since Dec. 4.

Seen it yet?

That’s OK. Neither have a lot of people in Hollywood.

What about “The Father,” about the devastation of dementia? It is a contender for best drama and three other prizes. Or perhaps “The Mauritanian,” set at Guantánamo and vying for two Globes in acting categories? Or the twice-nominated “Judas and the Black Messiah,” about Black political radicals in the 1960s? It actually received a national release in theaters (about 1,900 of the operating ones) this month.

Seen any of them?

Well, I don’t know what to tell you. Pretend like you have at least heard of a couple.

In a year when almost all of the nominated films have bypassed theaters because of the pandemic, the Globes — the biggest-tent awards show there is, given its dual focus on film and television — may feel rather small. Nominees have struggled to get noticed. For many people, including some in Hollywood, it is hard to care about little golden thingamabobs at a time when the coronavirus is still killing roughly 2,000 Americans on most days.

“The stakes have never been lower,” Tina Fey, returning to host the ceremony with Amy Poehler, has been saying in deadpan Globe ads.

Who said nobody in Hollywood is honest? Here are some other things to consider before the ceremony begins on Sunday at 8 p.m. Eastern:

The traditional engine of the Golden Globes, a colossal red carpet, will not exist this time around. The honorees will all be at home. (Accepting trophies from mansions and luxury hotel rooms, tonally fine. Preening for hours for photographers while draped in diamonds and couture gowns, apparently not.) Fey will host the Globes from the Rainbow Room in New York, with Poehler stationed at the Beverly Hilton Hotel in Beverly Hills, Calif. A smattering of frontline and essential workers have been invited to attend in person, but the usual ostentatious supper has been scuppered.

Certainly not helping matters, the 78th Golden Globes arrive amid a renewed sense that the Hollywood Foreign Press Association, the scandal-prone group that bestows the awards, needs a dramatic overhaul. The 80-some voting members have long been painted as out of touch and faintly corrupt, including by their own hosts; Ricky Gervais referred to them as “vegetables” during last year’s live broadcast. But recent news reports have revealed brutal infighting and a questionable fixation on compensation.

The group has no Black members, The Los Angeles Times discovered.

But the awards machinery must grind on: Too much money is at stake. NBC pays $60 million a year for broadcast rights. Studios and streaming services will spend millions of dollars to publicize Globe wins, in part because balloting for the more prestigious Academy Awards begins on Friday. (Oscar nominees will be announced on March 15. The Oscars ceremony, delayed because of the pandemic, will take place on April 25.)

If nothing else, Nielsen ratings for this most unusual Globes telecast will help set expectations for the pandemic-retrofitted Academy Awards. The Globes attracted about 18.3 million total viewers last year, when “1917” and “Once Upon a Time … in Hollywood” collected the top movie prizes and Billy Porter caused an online traffic jam by wearing his version of the Bjork swan dress. In contrast, when the Globes became a humdrum news conference in 2008 because of a screenwriter’s strike, only 5.8 million people tuned in.

In other words, razzmatazz matters.

Netflix was humiliated at the Globes last year. The streaming giant sashayed into the ceremony with a leading 34 total nominations and left … with one film award (Laura Dern won best supporting actress for “Marriage Story”) and one television honor (Olivia Colman, lauded for “The Crown”). Instead, voters mostly stuck with old-guard choices.

Expect this go-round to be different, in part because most traditional movie studios have been crippled by the pandemic. Netflix has 42 nominations, and two of its films, “Mank” and “The Trial of the Chicago 7,” are vying for best drama, the most prestigious award. No streaming service has ever won in this category.

If “Chicago 7” wins, boosting its Oscar chances, Paramount Pictures will have some egg on its face: The 109-year-old studio offloaded the film to Netflix over the summer.

Among the remaining best drama nominees, the Hollywood establishment is best represented by “Nomadland,” which stars Frances McDormand as a van dweller. “Nomadland” comes from the art-film powerhouse formerly known as Fox Searchlight (now just Searchlight, reflecting a change in corporate ownership). “The Father” and “Promising Young Woman,” also from traditional film companies, round out the nominees.

In another first, the Globe for best comedy or musical will almost assuredly go to a streaming service. According to the prognosticators at Gold Derby, an awards predictions site, the comedy or musical race is a tossup between “Borat Subsequent Moviefilm” (Amazon) and “Hamilton” (Disney+). Also nominated are “Palm Springs” (Hulu), “The Prom” (Netflix) and Sia’s “Music,” a woefully misguided video-on-demand release.

Jason Sudeikis, the star of “Ted Lasso,” a sports comedy on Apple TV+. — Apple TV+

The TV categories are something of an afterthought at the Globes, which draws its power from proximity to the Oscars. The foreign press association has tried to rectify the imbalance in recent years by rallying behind shows that have yet to pop. Globe voters, for instance, helped “Brooklyn Nine-Nine” and “Transparent” gain wider attention. (On the other hand, the less said about their early support for “Mozart in the Jungle,” the better.)

“Ted Lasso,” a fish-out-of-water sports comedy on Apple TV+, is expected to benefit this year. The freshman series could win the Globe for best comedy, allowing the H.F.P.A. to one-up the Emmys and appear forward-thinking: Apple has yet to win a truly huge prize on Hollywood’s marquee awards circuit. Adding to the moment, Jason Sudeikis, who stars in “Ted Lasso,” may pick up a Globe for his performance.
