#ViolaDavis on the legacy of her “Widows” co-star Robert Duvall after his death:

“I’ve always been in awe of your towering portrayals of men who were both quiet and dominating in their humanness. You were a giant… an icon… ‘Apocalypse Now,’ ‘The Godfather,’ ‘To Kill a Mockingbird,’ ‘Tender Mercies,’ ‘The Apostle,’ ‘Lonesome Dove’… etc… Greatness never dies. It stays… as a gift. Rest well, sir. Your name will be spoken… May flights of angels sing thee to thy rest.”

#DawsonsCreek creator Kevin Williamson thanks fans "for your outpouring of love" in the aftermath of James Van Der Beek's death.

"It has been felt. Several times today, from my heart, I’ve tried to form the words to express the beautiful brilliance of James and what his presence has meant to my life. But I am truly at a loss for words. I will have to trust that one day those words will come... But today, all I can think about is Kimberly and the entire Van Der Beek family. My heart is with you."

This is shattering news. What a wonderful person, artist and collaborator. I was lucky enough to direct, produce and act in projects with her and she was simply growing more brilliant with each year. My heart goes out to Bo & family. #RIPCatherineO’Hara https://t.co/7pWcpYARai

'Sinners' Breaks All-Time Oscar Nomination Record With 16 Nods https://t.co/wFPltksqk6

[Scott Mantz 🖖 @MovieMantz]

WOW!!! 16 NOMINATIONS FOR “SINNERS!!!” THE MOST NOMINATED MOVIE IN OSCAR HISTORY, BEATING “LA LA LAND,” “ALL ABOUT EVE” & “TITANIC” (ALL WITH 14 NOMS!) #OSCARS

[Anne Thompson @akstanwyck]

I was right about Ariana Grande not getting in, but Elle Fanning shows how strong Sentimental Value is. Blue Moon screenplay is a surprise. And Del Roy Lindo shows strength for Sinners.

[John Hanlon @johnhanlon]

@kpfallon Also, Chase Infiniti missed out on #OneBattleAfterAnother even though many of her castmates got in.

[Kevin Fallon @kpfallon]

I have too much feeling about all of this. What is it like for people like Paul Mescal and Ariana Grande, to spend an actual year being told you're getting an Oscar nomination...and not get it?

[Scott Mantz 🖖 @MovieMantz]

SNUBBED!!! NO ARIANA GRANDE!! NO CHASE INFINITY!!! #OSCARS

[John Hanlon @johnhanlon]

@TheAcademy Shocked that Paul Mescal didn't get in for his incredible work in #Hamnet. #oscars
