Sacha Baron Cohen on Nathan Fielder, who worked on his show 'Who Is America?':
"I think he’s a comic genius and he reinvented the genre that I, I suppose, created or developed. And he had a rule really, which was to not do anything that I had done. But he’s a brilliant, brilliant mind, and absolutely hilarious. I think his documentary’s going to be huge, so I’m very excited for him." https://t.co/FT4MPVWObh
I wrote about Once Upon a Time in Harlem's striking reflection of cultural debate that today's social media era has made nearly impossible to replicate.

Ann was the most incredible combination of warmth & kindness coupled with deep intelligence and incredible passion. I just adored her. As did everybody. 💔
Thinking about all the family, friends, and colleagues who loved Ann Hornaday. She was The Washington Post’s longtime film critic, but she was also generous and funny and kind and would send random notes praising your work and sign them, “Your fan, always.” 1/2
The WAFCA family is in mourning today at the loss of our cherished friend Ann Hornaday. Ann was a true legend in our field, one of the best to ever do it. She was also a beloved mentor and colleague, whose thoughtfulness and humor made us all better. She will be missed.
Film critic Ann Hornaday has died.
As chief film critic for The Washington Post, she was a respected and passionate voice in the world of cinema. She was also a longtime regular on the News Hour, sharing her love of film with our viewers.
@JeffreyBrown looks back at her life and career.
Ann Hornaday was a beautiful writer and an accessible one. She connected with readers every time she reviewed a movie. She loved a political documentary as much as a rom com. Ann's cancer was brutal and I'm glad she's no longer in pain. But I will miss her forever. I loved her.
Ann Hornaday, the longtime film critic at The Washington Post, died Sunday at her home in Baltimore following a battle with glioblastoma, a form of brain cancer. She was 66.

Ann Hornaday was a stylish and fearless film critic who taught me a lot about what the job should be. News of her death is gutting. I was honored to edit Ann in May on a piece about ALL THE PRESIDENT’S MEN, her obsession. She was finishing a book on it. https://t.co/1JvmDPTcrC
Very sad to learn about the passing of Ann Hornaday, a stellar critic & warm-hearted colleague. Friendly to all, curious & insightful, with an accessible style rare among her peers. Will miss seeing her at Cannes and other places. The movies will her, too. https://t.co/CABmc39krK
