Robert Redford, a five time Golden Globe Awards winner died at the age of 89. His family confirmed that he passed away peacefully at his home in Sundance, on Tuesday 16 September.

Redford was an actor, director, producer, and a champion of independent film. He became popular in the 1960s with roles in “Inside Daisy Clover” and “Barefoot in the Park”. He also starred in classics like “Butch Cassidy” and the “Sundance Kid”, “The Sting”, “All the President’s Men”, and “Out of Africa”.

As a director, he won the Academy Award for Best Director for Ordinary People in 1980. The movie also won Best Picture.

Aside acting and directing, Redford founded the Sundance Institute and the Sundance Film Festival. During his tenure, Sundance became an important platform for filmmakers outside the mainstream.

In August 2018, Robert announced that he would be retiring after making The Old Man & the Gun, inwhich he co-starred alongside Glover Danny, Casey Affleck, Waits Tom and Sissy Spacek. “Never say never, but I pretty well concluded that this would be it for me in terms of acting, and I’ll move towards retirement after this ’cause I’ve been doing it since I was 21,” he said at that time.

After a while, he was spotted back on set,

He said “I think it was a mistake to say that I was retiring because you never know. It did feel like it was time, maybe, to concentrate on another category.”

The legend was back on screen few months ago after 6 years. His last screen role was a cameo in 2025 on Dark Winds.

His personal life had ups and downs. He was married twice and had children. One of his children died in 2020, James Redford. He died at age 58 from bile-duct cancer in his liver.

Redford is survived by his wife, children, and grandchildren, who continue to be involved in the Sundance organizations and philanthropic efforts he built. He will be remembered not only as an actor and director but also in the institutions he built.

After the announcement of his death, family and loved ones across the film industry are paying their respects. Actress Meryl Streep said “One of the lions has passed.” Jane Fonda described him as “a beautiful person in every way” and praised his belief in an America worth fighting for. Journalist Bob Woodward, whose reporting inspired All the President’s Men, called him “a noble and principled force for good.” Actor Mark Ruffalo shared that Redford was his hero and thanked him for his generosity as a mentor.

The legacy of Robert Redford will never be forgotten.

The 77th Primetime Emmy Awards brought a mix of triumphs, surprises, and heartfelt firsts to Los Angeles’s Peacock Theater on Sunday night. The evening was alive with energy as television’s biggest names gathered, but the stories that unfolded went far beyond the glitter of the stage.

Apple TV+’s The Studio emerged as the highlight of the night, leading the comedy categories in a way few shows have ever done. In its debut season, it collected an astonishing thirteen trophies, setting a new record for the most Emmy wins by a comedy in a single year. Seth Rogen led the charge with victories as lead actor, writer, and director, sealing his status not only as the face of the series but as the creative force behind it. For longtime Emmy favorite Jean Smart, the night added another chapter to her remarkable run as she took home her fourth award for Hacks, while co-star Hannah Einbinder earned her first. Jeff Hiller’s win for Somebody Somewhere added a note of surprise, proving the comedy field is still full of unpredictability.

In the drama categories, The Pitt claimed the biggest prize of the night by taking home outstanding drama series. Its victory was an upset over front- runners like Severance and The White Lotus, signaling that television audiences and critics are still open to being swayed by the intimacy of a well-executed medical drama. Noah Wyle, whose career spans decades, finally received his first Emmy with a win for lead actor in a drama. His acceptance speech reflected the relief of a veteran who had long been respected but never rewarded in this way. Katherine LaNasa added to the momentum by capturing supporting actress in a drama, a result that surprised many given the stiff competition. Though Severance entered the night with the most nominations, it left with only a handful of acting awards for Britt Lower and Tramell Tillman, showing that anticipation does not always translate into dominance.

Another standout of the evening was Netflix’s Adolescence, which pushed the boundaries of what a limited series could be. Every episode was filmed in a single continuous take, a daring choice that was rewarded with six Emmys, including outstanding limited series. Stephen Graham and Erin Doherty collected acting awards for their performances, but the night truly belonged to Owen Cooper, who at just fifteen years old became the youngest male Emmy winner in history. His emotional reaction on stage was one of the defining moments of the ceremony, a reminder of how quickly the industry can be reshaped by new talent. Cristin Milioti’s win for The Penguin further highlighted the strength of anthology storytelling, giving the limited series category a particularly strong showing this year.

Beyond scripted television, the awards honored other corners of the industry that continue to thrive. The Traitors took home reality competition, while Last Week Tonight with John Oliver and The Late Show with Stephen Colbert dominated their respective variety and talk categories. These consistent winners showed that while new dramas and comedies may come and go, some formats continue to hold their ground year after year.

The night will be remembered less for predictable victories and more for the moments that carried real weight. Owen Cooper making history at fifteen, Noah Wyle finally hearing his name called after decades of work, and The Studio rewriting comedy’s record books gave the ceremony its pulse. Unexpected wins from performers like Katherine LaNasa and Jeff Hiller only added to the sense that the Emmys are never fully scripted, no matter how many odds-makers try to predict them.

In the end, the 2025 Emmys told a story about where television stands today. Bold experiments are being rewarded, young performers are stepping into the spotlight, and veteran actors are receiving long-overdue recognition. It was a night that reminded audiences why television remains one of the most dynamic storytelling mediums—and why, even after seventy-seven years, the Emmys can still surprise us.

On September 4, 2025, Jessica Chastain received a star on the Hollywood Walk of Fame, a milestone that cements her place among Hollywood’s most celebrated talents.

For the occasion, the Oscar-winning actress chose a look that broke from tradition. Instead of the expected sequin or silk gown, Chastain wore a full-length denim dress by Jonathan Cohen Studio. The design featured a scoop neckline, slim straps, and a corseted bodice that gave the ensemble structure. Paired with diamond jewelry, a striking red lip, and her signature auburn waves, the look balanced casual ease with red-carpet elegance.

The ceremony drew an impressive crowd, with Viola Davis and Al Pacino among the attendees. Davis, who starred with Chastain in The Help, praised her colleague’s artistry and depth.

During her remarks, Chastain spoke movingly about her children, describing them as her greatest inspiration. The moment served as a reminder of her journey, from powerful performances in Zero Dark Thirty and Interstellar to her Oscar-winning role in The Eyes of Tammy Faye.
