Saturday Night Live has some hilarious tips to avoid scabbing against the ongoing SAG-AFTRA Strike, poking some lighthearted fun at the guild's guidelines for its members this Halloween. The sketch features SAG-AFTRA president Fran Drescher (Sarah Sherman) teaching us all what Halloween costumes to wear! When host Nate Bargatze and his wife (Ego Nwodim) were handing out candy for Halloween to kids dressed as Spider-Man, Barbie, and Black Panther, Fran stops them to point out that the kids were breaking the no costumes from struck films rule. To be fair, the rule doesn't apply to kids as SAG fortunately clarified, but this is a sketch comedy show. The sketch went on to make a point about how studios could simply "break actors off a piece of that Kit-Kat bar" with their record profits and pay SAF-AFTRA members a fair wage.

This Comedian Was Awarded the Only Wooden Oscar Statue

The Academy Awards' Oscars are the most esteemed prizes in Hollywood, with the statuette, a 1-foot-8 inch tall, 24-karat gold Adonis with a name of much debated origin, being the ultimate prize of everyone in Hollywood. While the movies may change, the Oscar itself has not… with one notable exception. It was an Oscar made of wood, with a movable mouth, handed out as an Honorary Oscar in 1937. At first glance, it seems like an odd medium to craft an Oscar out of, let alone distribute at a ceremony where every other winner gets a "normal" golden Oscar. But then, the recipient was never quite like the others, opting to work with his sidekick while entertaining millions. The recipient of the wooden Oscar was famed ventriloquist Edgar Bergen, and the special Oscar was the perfect way to celebrate his work.

Remember That Time Sean Astin Tried To Direct a ‘Fantastic Four’ Movie?

20 2

As we are reaching the end of 2023, casting rumors around the MCU's Fantastic Four movie are swirling in the air, and the Fox Marvel movie characters are reportedly returning for Deadpool 3, there has never been a more appropriate time to look back on the cinematic history of Marvel's first family. At this point, The Fantastic Four has been brought to life by numerous filmmakers. Tim Story gave us the original duology in the mid-2000s, Josh Trank bamboozled us with the production mishap that was Fant4stic, and even Roger Corman produced an unofficially released live-action film in the mid-'90s. Simply put, this group of characters are no strangers to moviegoers. But what about the films that were never made? What about Sean Astin's Fantastic Four?
