The announcement of the Screen Actors Guild Award nominations began with some technical difficulties.

@NardineSaad explains latimes.com/entertainment-…
SAG-AFTRA decided to announce the nominees via social media to “create an authentic connection with their audience” and promised “a seamless, virtual experience."

It took the actor more than five minutes to figure out how to add Collins.

But Diggs soon after received some wonderful news! latimes.com/entertainment-…

“Malcolm & Marie” is now streaming on Netflix.
Zendaya is great.

The rest, not so much. Our review:
latimes.com/entertainment-…
One of Writer-Director Sam Levinson’s unseen but oft-referenced villains in “Malcolm & Marie” is an L.A. Times film critic who panned Malcolm’s previous movie, but who has apparently seen the light, marveling at his latest cinematic vision latimes.com/entertainment-…
Critic Justin Chang will “suspend that last question [below] for now, on the charitable assumption that Levinson couldn’t possibly be that petty, even if his dialogue here practically constitutes a textbook on human pettiness”

In January, three court staffers died after testing positive for the coronavirus, and since March, at least 445 of the court’s 5,100 staff and judges have tested positive.

A court reporter's positive test prompted administrators to close the courtroom she worked in. When an interpreter who also worked in the courtroom sought permission to quarantine at home on paid leave, she was denied, according to the interpreter’s union.

The interpreter continued working, and days later, tested positive. According to the union, many were denied requests to go on paid leave. Some continued to show up to work, either because they feared reprisals for calling out or had no remaining sick time.latimes.com/california/sto…

Business leaders, policymakers and regular folks have sounded increasing alarm about how mom-and-pop businesses will weather the COVID-19 pandemic.

But a surprising number seem to be hanging on. latimes.com/business/story…
A study conducted last spring suggested that around 7.5 million American small businesses would close by the fall of 2020.

That didn’t happen. Data later showed that less than 10% of the businesses expected to shut down reported having done so. latimes.com/business/story…
Figuring out what might be going on is vital, economists say.

And beyond dollars and cents, small businesses cement communities. A local shop is likely to patronize neighborhood service providers. Local businesses have a stake in community welfare. latimes.com/business/story…

It was never a question that Stephanie Contreras-Reyes would take the most rigorous AP classes her school offers.

And when her dad lost his job in March, it was never a question that the 17-year-old would do whatever was needed to keep her family afloat. latimes.com/california/sto…
Stephanie’s at the top of her class, the first in her family to get this far in school.

She is also among an increasing number of teens in L.A. who have started working to help their financially struggling families during the pandemic, often carrying overwhelming loads. Image
After her mother lost her full-time restaurant job last March, Isis Mejia-Duarte, a high school senior, began helping her mom deliver Amazon Fresh and InstaCart groceries.

They could make deliveries more quickly as a team, ultimately fulfilling more orders and making more money. Image
