The 2022 Emmys telecast kicked off in style on Monday with host Kenan Thompson leading an interesting series of dance routines set to TV theme songs.

latimes.com/entertainment-…
Thompson, a longtime “Saturday Night Live” cast member, is a familiar face on NBC, but who is the person behind the voice announcing the different categories and presenters?

That would be comedian and writer Sam Jay, Thompson’s “SNL” colleague. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Jay has previously been nominated for three writing Emmys for her writing on “SNL” and has also written on shows such as HBO Max’s “That Damn Michael Che” and Peacock’s “Bust Down.” latimes.com/entertainment-…

Of all the endlessly quotable maxims and aphorisms that have poured from the mouth and the movies of Jean-Luc Godard, one that especially springs to mind today is this: “He who jumps into the void owes no explanation to those who stand and watch.” latimes.com/entertainment-…
It seems fitting to consider those words this week, and the void as well. Godard, filmmaker, critic, essayist, polemicist, crank, disruptor, legend and one of the most significant artists working in any medium over the past century, is gone. latimes.com/entertainment-…
The motion-picture medium that he studied, worshipped, mastered, mocked, deconstructed and sparred with for decades feels immediately and infinitely poorer for it. latimes.com/entertainment-…

The #Emmys did little to mask the fear roiling the TV industry. latimes.com/entertainment-… Image
Broadcast networks — where executives are growing resentful over how the ceremony has become a commercial for their streaming competitors — were only recognized with three televised awards, compared to nine for the streamers. latimes.com/entertainment-… Image
HBO had a lot to celebrate with 38 trophies overall, topping 26 for Netflix. But the wins come amid layoffs and cost cutting at parent company Warner Bros. Discovery. latimes.com/entertainment-…

Jean-Luc Godard sat down with The Times in 1995: “I like everything in movies. My main pleasure is every day, or every month, discovering a new one. I’d like to have done all sorts of films, to have been in all films, to be known and unknown.” latimes.com/archives/la-xp… Image
“I’d like to be one of the filmmakers who discovered sound in the 1930s,” he adds, veering down a new road.

“But I’d also like to have known the sadness of those people who discovered sound.” latimes.com/archives/la-xp… Image
“I never understand why I’m remembered,” Godard said with a shrug. “I always wonder why I’m still known because nobody sees my movies now. Well, almost nobody.” latimes.com/archives/la-xp… Image

California’s legalization of recreational cannabis in 2016 ushered in a multibillion-dollar industry estimated to be the largest legal weed market in the world.

But many of the promises of legalization have proved elusive.

Thread
latimes.com/california/sto…
When California voters legalized cannabis, one promise was the creation of a legal pathway for clearing many past marijuana-related convictions or reducing them to a lesser charge.

But thousands are still languishing
latimes.com/california/sto…
Programs meant to help hopeful Black and Latino cannabis entrepreneurs have faced funding limitations and severe delays.

As a result, a process intended to atone for past wrongs has, for many, made their lives distinctly harder.

One of Sonya Sombreuil’s most recognizable pieces is a shirt she made in 2020 to raise money for the Bernie Sanders campaign, which would become official merch for the camp. latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…
The shirt features a young-ish photo of Sanders with the words “RAGE AGAINST THE MACHINE” around it like a frame. It got worldwide recognition, selling out again and again. latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…
But the shirt going mainstream made Sombreuil a bit uneasy at first. “I’ve had a lot of reservations about using this space to talk about politics,” she wrote in 2020 on Instagram. latimes.com/lifestyle/imag…

Jean-Luc Godard, the iconoclast at the center of the French New Wave and one of film’s most influential makers, leaves behind a colossal legacy.

Whether you're a Godard admirer or want to see his films for the first time, here are some titles to explore. latimes.com/entertainment-…
Jean-Luc Godard, who died Tuesday at 91, leaves behind a collection of more than 100 feature films, shorts and documentaries. latimes.com/obituaries/sto…
All you need to make a movie, Jean-Luc Godard famously proposed, is a girl and a gun, and he proved that formula the first time out of the box with his 1960 “Breathless,” the fatalistic romance that started a revolution. latimes.com/entertainment-…
