US actor Austin Butler has been awarded the Golden Globe film prize for his portrayal of rock 'n' roll legend Elvis Presley. The 31-year-old was honored at the awards ceremony on Tuesday evening (local time) in Los Angeles for his role in "Elvis" as the best male actor in a drama.

The award for Best Male Role in a Comedy went to Colin Farrell. The Irishman was recognized for his performance in 'The Banshees of Inisherin,' a film about two friends on a remote Irish island. The Golden Globe for Best Female Actress in a Comedy went to Michelle Yeoh for her role in Everything Everyone All at Once, a science fiction film about parallel universes.

Other Golden Globes have not yet been awarded, including the one for the best films. The presentation of the Golden Globes marks the annual start of the award ceremonies in the international film business. The awards are presented by the Hollywood Foreign Press Association (HFPA).

Last year, the ceremony was not televised due to allegations of a lack of diversity and allegations of corruption. After the HFPA subsequently enrolled more than a hundred non-white members, NBC broadcast the Golden Globes again this year.

Los Angeles (AP) - US actor Jeremy Renner ("Avengers: Endgame", "Arrival") addressed his fans two days after a serious accident while clearing snow.

Renner posted a photo from the hospital bed on Tuesday afternoon (local time) on Instagram showing him with tubes in his nose, a black eye and abrasions on his face. Renner thanked in a short text for the many recovery wishes. He was "too messed up" to type, but he wanted to send "love" to everyone.

Numerous fans and colleagues, including Chris Pratt, Orlando Bloom, Chris Hemsworth, Penélope Cruz and Isla Fisher, wished a speedy recovery on Instagram. "Speedy recovery", with a heart emoji, wished model and TV presenter Heidi Klum.

According to the police in Washoe County (US state Nevada), Renner was run over by his own snow plow on New Year's Day. Sheriff Darin Balaam spoke of a "tragic accident" at a press conference on Tuesday.

After heavy snowfall in the mountainous region near Lake Tahoe, a Renner family member got stuck in a car on a private road. The actor freed the vehicle from the snow masses with his snow plow. Then he got out, but the heavy device started moving again. The accident happened when trying to get back into the driver's seat, Balaam said. The investigation would still be ongoing.

Renner was taken to a nearby clinic by helicopter. He suffered a "blunt trauma" in the chest area and "orthopedic injuries," said his team of spokesmen on Monday, according to media reports. His condition was described as critical but stable. After an operation, he was treated in the intensive care unit, it said.

Renner, father of a nine-year-old daughter, played in the superhero series "Avengers" and in two "Mission: Impossible" films. He was nominated for an Oscar in 2010 for his leading role in the war drama The Hurt Locker. He received a second nomination a year later for his supporting role in Ben Affleck's action thriller The Town.

James Cameron revealed that he would "mourn some of the stories" he didn't get to film.

The legendary director has devoted most of his work to the 'Avatar' franchise and has developed four sequels to the films, two of which have already been filmed.

And while other projects took a backseat, the 'Titanic' filmmaker was able to weave many of the stories into the world of Avatar. When asked if he felt bad about never being able to tell the other stories and ideas he had because he spent so much time on the 'Avatar' franchise, Cameron explained in an interview with the ' Empire' Magazine: "I have two thoughts in response to your question: The first is that the world of Avatar is so expansive that I can tell most of the stories I want to tell in it and try out many of the stylistic techniques that I hope to explore in this way.

And second, yes... our time as artists is finite. I'll always mourn some of the stories I can't do, but I feel a great satisfaction when other directors want to explore some of my ideas, like Kathryn Bigelow did with Strange Days, and Robert Rodriguez did when I handed him the baton on Alita: Battle Angel."

Stephanie Stumph (38) became a mother for the first time in June 2022. However, the actress hardly took a break from her job. On the contrary, her little son was on the set during the shooting of the film "Stubbe - Delivered" (December 28, 8:15 p.m., ZDF). Time management was extremely important, she reveals in an interview with the news agency spot on news.

"Organization is everything and that's damn exhausting," says the experienced actress, who stood in front of the camera with her father Wolfgang Stumph (76) as a child. "I'm very happy that I get so much support from my family," explains the 38-year-old about her new everyday life as a working mother. The production companies are also understanding. "I'm still breastfeeding and that just takes time." Otherwise, she tries everything to ensure that the shooting process runs smoothly and that her son gets the necessary attention at the same time. "A balancing act, but it works," she said.

"This is a gift"
Stephanie Stumph celebrated her breakthrough as an actress in 1995 with the crime series "Stubbe". She grew up with the role. "It's something special when I see the old films," she admits. She still likes to slip into the role of Christiane Stubbe, the daughter of the now retired Commissioner Stubbe (Wolfgang Stumph). In the films, father and daughter are a real dream team. In real life, the two often agree. Nevertheless, she is not dependent on her father: "At 38, well-intentioned advice is well received, but I can stand by my decisions," she says of the relationship with her father away from the cameras.

But "Stubbe" is just one of her professional projects. After her baby break, she is happy to be part of "Hard to believe" again, says Stumph. She missed the NDR rate show a lot this year, even if she always let her colleagues participate via WhatsApp.

That's what "Stubbe - Delivered" is about
In the 53rd film in the "Stubbe" series, freelance journalist Christiane Stubbe (Stephanie Stumph) works undercover as a bicycle courier at "Saxonia Food" to write about the exploitative working conditions of a food delivery service. Her neighbor is also employed there, but is found dead after an interview with her. Christiane dives deeper and deeper into the dubious machinations and receives support from Commissioner Marc Leitner (Jens Atzorn, 46).

What's going on there: The ZDF commissioner "Sarah Kohr" is spreading lateral thinker ideology in her eighth mission. Leading actress Lisa Maria Potthoff is very pleased that ZDF "takes an explosive topic and packs it into a fictional plot".

It is a highly explosive film start in the ZDF crime series "Sarah Kohr" - public television film producers have hardly ever addressed the stimulus complex of lateral thinking and corona denials so directly.

The policewoman embodied by Lisa Maria Potthoff is exposed at the beginning of the eighth film "Sarah Kohr - Irrlichter" as a corona denier and arrested after an attack on the civilian Tony Krohm (Alexandru Cirneala). Is this possibly the end of the popular ZDF heroine?

The robbery in a Hamburg bus was triggered by a scene that took place shortly beforehand: Two young men, their names David (Lasse Myhr) and Mark Jennert (Kjell Brutscheidt), hooded and armed with a baseball bat, attacked the renowned medical couple Kippmann (Sarah Masuch and Alexander Wipprecht) attacked.

They then posted a video of their crime online. Upon seeing the video, Tony identifies his fellow passengers and confronts them, prompting them and later Sarah Kohr to attack him. While Sarah's boss Anton Mehringer (Herbert Knaup) tries to find out the true motives of his best investigator, David, Mark and their leader Felix Morgenroth (Matthias Matschke) are already planning an all-important attack.

"Discussion is always important and good in a democracy"
"Like the other 'Sarah Kohr' films, the film is not exactly light fare," says leading actress Lisa Maria Potthoff in an interview with the news agency teleschau: "That you take a fictitious lateral thinker movement as a current socially explosive topic and turn it into a fictitious one action grabs," she thinks is great.

The 44-year-old is also pleased that those responsible at ZDF and the production company "take the risk and say: 'We don't know how many people want to deal with a socially relevant topic on December 27th with roast goose in their stomachs But the conclusion cannot be that we don't make films like that.'"

The mother of two daughters does not see any danger of further deepening the existing social gaps through the thriller. "On the contrary: I believe that discussion is always important and good in a democracy." It is only important "that we are open to other opinions in this discussion or in discussions about the Ukraine war or about the climate crisis and maybe have heated discussions, but never end up below the belt."

What exactly is behind the supposed new ideas of the successful TV commissioner (6.5 million viewers last) can be found on Tuesday, December 27th, 8:15 p.m. on ZDF. The thriller is already available in the ZDF media library.
