Since the beginning of the COVID-19 pandemic, there’s been a significant uptick in violence against Asians and Asian Americans. The organization Stop AAPI Hate collected more than 2,800 reports of verbal abuse, harassment, and physical assaults against Asians in the United States from March to December 2020. These reports depict a disturbing reality, especially for Asian women, who experienced violence nearly 2.5 times more than their male counterparts. However, the numbers do not tell the full story: They don’t include many of the unreported and increasingly normalized incidents of violence...

At the 2021 Golden Globe Awards, Chadwick Boseman became the first actor since 1976 to win a posthumous Globe for his role in Ma Rainey's Black Bottom.

During the unorthodox Globes event, in which some presenters and nominees attended in person while others joined via video conference, his wife accepted the award on his behalf. Her powerful, heart-wrenching speech prompted tears in Boseman's fellow nominees as well as audience members...

It’s Golden Globes night 2021, and despite the bicoastal, partially virtual ceremony taking place in New York and Los Angeles, A-lister and nominees are upping the style ante on the red carpet and from their couches, from The Great’s Elle Fanning to The Flight Attendant's Kaley Cuoco.

If you've been a fan of English folk rock band Mumford & Sons since their early days, you probably know of their lead singer, Marcus Mumford. But not everyone was singing "Little Lion Man" at the top of their lungs in 2010 or spent way too much money on tickets to their "Gentlemen of the Road" tour in 2013 (oops). You might have, instead, been more of a fan of Mumford's wife, Carey Mulligan, whose filmography goes back to 2005, when she appeared as Kitty Bennet alongside Kiera Knightley in...
