Cover Girl
Julianne Moore gets a loving profile in "C Magazine" about her work in Dear Evan Hansen and her fear about her musical number. It probably doesn't need to be said given her history but damn this woman knows how to work a camera. The photoshoot is incredible.
New Trailer
We already did a Yes No Maybe So for the first Eternals trailer but here's the second which looks much more like a traditional superhero movie complete with a lame stinger joke...
Finally...
Look at this fun new clip. Denzel reminiscing about the 1987 Oscars (his first). He'd win two years later of course on his second nomination for Glory.
Denzel talking about losing the Oscar to Sean Connery is the content I needed today. pic.twitter.com/a2Itsfkw4h
