13 greatest Hollywood actors you’ll be shocked have never won an Oscar

Published by Daniella Wilson

Much has been written over the years about the importance of awards when it comes to defining an actor’s legacy – and it’s certainly true that many of the finest talents in Hollywood history have been rewarded with Oscars. But there are also many stars who – despite turning in all sorts of impeccable performances in beloved films – haven’t been so lucky. From those that have been nominated several times but never quite secured a win to those who have been overlooked altogether by the Academy, several of the most legendary stars to have ever graced the silver screen don’t have a golden statuette to their names. We’ve rounded up 13 of the greatest of those actors below, including both icons of classic Hollywood and some major names who are still acting and could yet get their hands on that elusive Oscar. Read on for our full list. Want to see this content? This page contains content provided by Google reCAPTCHA. We ask for your permission before anything is loaded, as Google reCAPTCHA may …

Who won Iowa’s primary elections for Senate and governor? : NPR

Republican candidate for Senate, U.S. Rep. Ashley Hinson (R-Iowa) celebrates on stage with her family during a primary night election party on June 2, 2026 in Cedar Rapids, Iowa. Hinson won the Republican nomination to fill the seat vacated by Sen. Joni Ernst. Stephen Maturen/Getty Images hide caption toggle caption Stephen Maturen/Getty Images The field for one of the more surprising midterm battlegrounds is set, as nominees for Iowa’s competitive governor, Senate and House races have been decided. Democrats and Republicans alike are paying close attention to the Hawkeye State’s politics and how voters are responding to candidates’ pitches – and a national political environment where President Trump, Congress and the Democratic Party all face record-low approval ratings. Iowa is also a state where Trump administration policies like tariffs and the war in Iran disproportionately impact farmers, and is a state governed by Republicans but has voted for Democrats in recent federal and state elections. That includes current state Auditor Rob Sand, who ran unopposed for the Democratic nomination for governor and is currently outraising …

I built the same portfolio in Claude, Gamma, and Canva — here’s which one actually won

I built the same portfolio in Claude, Gamma, and Canva — here’s which one actually won

Published by skeptic

AI design tools are everywhere right now, but figuring out which one actually fits your workflow is harder than it looks. So, I ran a simple test: I asked the highly adaptable Claude, Gamma, and Canva to build the same portfolio page using the same prompt — and then pushed each one further with a subsequent request to see how well they could adapt. The results were surprisingly different. Here is what happened. I used the exact same prompt for all three: “I would like you to create a portfolio page for a new photographer new on the scene.” No extra context, no design specs. I wanted to see what they’d do with a completely open-ended request. From there, I followed up with each one using the same refinement prompt: “Make this more minimalist and more about the photographer.” The goal was to evaluate not just the quality of the initial output, but how they handled edits. Honestly, the back-and-forth matters way more than the first prompt when you’re trying to build something that actually …

‘Backrooms’ and ‘Obsession’ Won the Weekend. Here’s What That Really Tells Us About the Future of Movies

‘Backrooms’ and ‘Obsession’ Won the Weekend. Here’s What That Really Tells Us About the Future of Movies

Published by Jenni Sidey

The $80-million-plus debut of Backrooms, from 20-year-old first-time director Kane Parsons, coupled with Curry Barker’s low-budget hit Obsession increasing its take for the second weekend in a row, is essentially without precedent. As box office analysts sort through the data from this past weekend—the youngest director ever to top the box office; the first non-Christmas wide release to grow across three consecutive weekends since E.T.—excitement is building over the reality that not only is Gen Z going to the movies, they’re making their preferences known. The apparent generational shift provides an answer to what had seemed like a generational crisis: with Boomers and Millennials falling out of the moviegoing habit, Gen Z is more excited about going to the movies than ever. But there’s another, broader story to be told about the box office. Two horror movies chasing the same cohort of young people, both selling out theaters at the same time. Welcome back, Barbenheimer. Back in 2023, months and months of memes ballooned into an organic, audience-driven marketing campaign, turning the head-to-head counter-programming of …

‘Football won’: Gary Lineker drops brutal verdict on Arsenal FC’s Champions League final loss

Published by Sam Flores

Arsenal’s Premier League and Champions League campaigns had been characterised by their defensive superiority and clinical nature in taking their few chances in a game. This trend remained true in the final, where they took an early lead through Kai Havertz and held PSG goalless until the final third of the game when Ballon D’or holder, Ousmane Dembele, scored from the spot.

Immigrant Hordes Set Paris Ablaze Because Their Soccer Team Won

Immigrant Hordes Set Paris Ablaze Because Their Soccer Team Won

In case you needed further justification for denying your woman’s request for a vacation in Paris, hordes of migrants gave your position another boost over Saturday night, as they rampaged across the “City of Light” and other French locales, setting structures and vehicles ablaze, smashing the windows of occupied cars, destroying shops and unleashing other varied forms of mayhem. And they were doing this because they were happy…about a soccer game.  La Tour Eiffel est noyée sous un nuage de fumée après un départ de feu sur les quais de seine.

Jeff Hiller Won an Emmy. So Why Isn’t Hollywood Calling?

Jeff Hiller Won an Emmy. So Why Isn’t Hollywood Calling?

Published by Daniella Wilson

About 20 years ago, Jeff Hiller auditioned to play Kenneth Parcell, the demonically sunny NBC page ultimately portrayed by Jack McBrayer, in the pilot of 30 Rock. As things tended to go for Hiller back then, he did not get the job.  “We all knew it was written for Jack, so I never even pretended that I was going to get it,” Hiller says now. But then, a surprise silver lining: “Tina Fey called me back and was like, ‘You’ve got really good timing’ — which kept me going for several years.”  Fey went on to cast Hiller as a hotel clerk in 30 Rock’s third season — and, in a true rarity for any actor not named Rachel Dratch, brought him back years later to play a completely different character.  That second role, as a flight attendant, came as an offer — no audition needed. “That had never happened in my entire career and has only happened two or three times since,” Hiller says. “It was a huge surprise, and it made me feel …

This Tesla owner won $10k in court for Tesla’s FSD lies (Updated)

Published by skeptic

For over a decade now, Tesla has sold a promise of vehicles that can drive themselves, even stating that every car it produced had all the hardware for self-driving. But after years of the company being unable to deliver, some owners want their money back. Ben Gawiser is one of those owners, who recently won a $10,600 judgment due to Tesla’s failure to deliver. But Tesla kept fighting to delay payment, even just a few days at a time. (5/29 Update, original post 5/2: He finally got his money back. This article has been updated with new information below) Gawiser purchased a Tesla Model 3 in August of 2021, and paid $10,000 for the company’s Full Self-Driving software. At the time, the price of the software had gradually increased, which Tesla said it would do as the software gained more capabilities and got closer to release.

Why Iran’s Leaders Think They’ve Won

Why Iran’s Leaders Think They’ve Won

Published by Sam Flores

An interim agreement to end the U.S. and Israeli war against Iran looks likely, and it may very well find Donald Trump acceding to Iranian demands he has long resisted. Many in the Iranian regime are feeling triumphant, and understandably so, despite the exchange of some strikes in the Persian Gulf this week. But an end to the war will leave the Islamic Republic with a host of unsolved problems. The deal is expected to open the Strait of Hormuz, lifting the blockades imposed by both Iran and the United States. But it may also include language asserting that sovereignty over the waterway is to be shared among Iran, Oman, and other countries in the region, a political consultant close to the Iranian side who is not authorized to speak about the negotiations publicly, told me. Iran won’t get away with charging passing ships a toll per se, but it may be permitted to levy an environmental-protection fee and split the proceeds with Oman and perhaps other regional countries. The source also said that a …
