Competing for best actor will be Antonio Banderas ("Pain and Glory"), Robert De Niro ("The Irishman"), Eddie Murphy ("Dolemite is My Name"), Jonathan Pryce ("The Two Popes), Adam Sandler (Uncut Gems)

Tony Danza will host the awards Jan. 11. The ceremony will be broadcast Jan. 19 on PBS. Annette Bening will be honored for career achievement.

The nominees for best supporting actress are Laura Dern ("Marriage Story"), Nicole Kidman ("Bombshell"), Jennifer Lopez ("Hustlers"), Maggie Smith ("Downton Abbey") and Zhao Shuzhen ("The Farewell").

The male actor supporting category includes Jamie Foxx ("Just Mercy"), Tom Hanks ("A Beautiful Day in the Neighborhood"), Anthony Hopkins ("The Two Popes"), Al Pacino ("The Irishman") and Brad Pitt ("Once Upon a Time in Hollywood").

Hunt sorry for DUI

Country singer Sam Hunt has apologized for drinking and driving.

The Tennessean reports Hunt tweeted Friday that he made the "poor and selfish" decision to drive himself home after a friend's show in Nashville last week. Hunt was arrested Thursday and charged with driving under the influence and violating open container law.

Recently released 911 calls show Metro Nashville police received several reports of an SUV driving the wrong way down a one-way road. An arrest warrant says officers found Hunt swerving between lanes and pulled him over. It says two empty beer containers were in the passenger seat. The newspaper says he had a blood-alcohol level of .173, over the legal driving limit of .08.

Hunt's been released on bond and is set to appear in court in January.

Jon Keller’s Top Celebrity Turkeys For 2019 - CBS Boston

Posted: 27 Nov 2019 03:11 PM PST

BOSTON (CBS) — Over the past couple of days we've given you our picks for the top national and local turkeys of 2019. Do you have room for some leftover turkey?

Here are a few who stood out:

Former Celtics Guard Kyrie Irving

"A lot of the battles I thought I could battle through in the team environment I just wasn't ready for," said former Celtics guard Kyrie Irving in July as he joined his new team, the Brooklyn Nets. "I failed those guys."

You can say that again.

Irving led the Celtics off a cliff last spring, whining and moaning all the way. No leadership, no teamwork. Kind of an empty jersey, you might say.

But there is something to celebrate about Kyrie this thanksgiving–he's ruining Brooklyn's chemistry now, not ours.

Britain's Prince Andrew

Remember Britain's Prince Andrew back in the 1980s when he was a dapper war hero with a limitless future?

They can still stuff him into a uniform, but these days the prince is a sorry sight, accused of raping an underage protege of buddy Jeffrey Epstein, the sex offender whose favors the now-bloated Andrew couldn't recall in a disastrous recent interview with British TV.

"I have no recollection of ever meeting this lady," he said of one alleged victim. Unfortunately for "randy Andy," she remembers meeting him.

R. Kelly

"Quit playin. I didn't do this stuff!" singer R. Kelly screamed at Gayle King of CBS This Morning during one of the year's more memorable – and disturbing – interviews.

Kelly has been dodging justice for years, but the King interview signaled his Teflon is wearing off.

A chilling Lifetime documentary about Kelly raised questions about celebrity worship and whether society values his alleged black female victims. And finally, the law is stepping in.

Kelly will spend Thanksgiving in jail awaiting trial on sex-abuse charges.

Matthew McConaughey

"Wouldn't it be funny if the truth was nobody knows anything?"

That was just one of many pompous lines uttered by actor Matthew McConaughey during his January release, "Serenity," the story of a tropical island boat captain who gets lured into a murder mystery.

The movie had star power, the likes of Anne Hathaway and McConaughey, one of Hollywood's biggest draws. But the Oscar-winning actor surely can't wait for 2019 to end. "Serenity" cost $25 million to make but grossed less than $9 million.

And that dud was followed by an even bigger bomb, "The Beach Bum." IMDB description: "A rebellious stoner named Moondog lives life by his own rules."

No, we are not making this up.

Even a cameo by Snoop Dogg couldn't save this from becoming one of the worst flops of McConaughey's career. At one point, a judge throws the book at "Moondog," proclaiming: "It all stops now, the foolishness."

McConaughey's fans can only hope he heeds her advice.
