A bit of entertainment news

Black Panther has been nominated for a Writer's Guild award in Best Animated Screenplay. A Quiet Place got a nod in the original category.

Sony has greenlighted a sequel to popular, but critically panned, Venom. Based off the post credit scenes from the first movie, it will feature Carnage as the antagonist. Tom Hardy and Michelle Williams are expected to return, and Kelly Marcel, one of the Venom screenwriters, is also attached.

Doctor Who and Jodie Whitaker have been nominated for the National Television Awards - basically the British People's Choice. Doctor Who is up for Best Drama, but it does face strong competition, especially from Call The Midwife and Casualty (think ER, except it's been going so long that one actor took a part straight out of stage school and kept it until she retired from acting. No, I am not making this up).

Jodie Whitaker is up for Best Drama Performance, which is gender-neutral, against Jodie Comer from Killing Eve.

(Psst: You don't have to be British to vote. I mean, I'm not going to encourage it, but...they don't seem to check at all).
