The One Tree Hill actress, 44, is being honored during the 50th Deauville American Film Festival. Michelle is being awarded the Deauville Talent Award for her career achievements. 'From Wim Wenders to Martin Scorsese, from Todd Haynes to Steven Spielberg via Kelly Reichardt, she stands out as one of the most emblematic contemporary actresses with a magnetic gesture, as intense as it is delicate,' the Deauville Festival wrote in a statement. The festival also praised Williams for her 'admirable artistic freedom.'

Joaquin Phoenix broke his silence over his controversial decision to drop out of  Todd Haynes' gay romance film, five days before it was scheduled to begin filming. While attending a press conference for his new movie, Joker: Folie à Deux, at the Venice Film Festival on Wednesday, the Oscar winner, 49, addressed his departure from the untitled project, in which he and Danny Ramirez were set to play onscreen lovers in the 1930s. When asked if he could share the reason for his sudden exit from the film, which he  developed with Haynes and writer Jon Raymond, Phoenix dodged the question. 'If I do, I'll just be sharing my opinion from my perspective, and the other creatives aren't here to say their piece, and it just doesn't feel like that would be right,' he explained to the reporter.

Charles Melton, an actor, claims that the film May December didn't seem like a comedy when he was making it, as the Netflix film from filmmaker Todd Haynes was submitted as a satirefaction with upcoming Golden Globes awards, earning four nominations. Joe Yoo, a 32-year-old actor, was nominated for Best Performance by a Male Actor in a Supporting Role in Any Motion Picture for his role as Joe Yoo in the film, which was directed by Samy Burch and Alex Mechanik.

On Sunday, Natalie Portman expressed her dissatisfaction with Julianne Moore's birthday, which was widely reported. It was a rare social media shout-out from the 42-year-old former child star, who gushed via Instastory: 'And happiest of birthdays to this legend @juliannemoore!With you, I loved making @maydecember.'

Fans of Netflix have gone wild over a new drama film that has been rated 92 percent on Rotten Tomatoes. Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore's May December starring Natalie Portman and Julianne Moore, which has also received critical acclaim, was released on November 17 before it was shown on Netflix on December 1. Todd Haynes's American film based on Samy Burch's screenplay is loosely influenced by Mary Kay Letourneau's story.

For the latest film from director Todd Haynes, Natalie Portman, Julianne Moore, and others of the cast and crew are on full throttle. The two A-list Oscar winners were on Friday at the Four Seasons Hotel in Beverly Hills, joined by their co-star Charles Melton and Haynes for the photocall, which came one day after the film's premiere at the Academy Museum of Motion Pictures. Portman appeared to go solo and not wear her wedding ring on the red carpet for the second day in a row, despite allegations of bribery being waged against her husband Benjamin Millepied in recent months. Although she wanted to keep the accessories to a minimum, Portman demonstrated her petite figure and fashion sense by stepping out in a sequin miniskirt that glistened under the event's bright lights and a black form-fitted top.

In the first teaser trailer for the upcoming film called May December, Natalie Portman appeared eerie. As she gazed into the camera, the 42-year-old Oscar winner seemed to be on the brink of tears. In a forthcoming film, she appears as an actress who comes nearest to a mismatched couple she is studying. They are only married to a family, not an ordinary couple. The woman is much older than her husband, with whom she has two children. The story does seem to compare real life couple Mary Kay Letourneau, who died at the age of 58, and Vili Fualaau, 40. In a film from director Todd Haynes, Julianne Moore portrays both the elderly wife and Charles Melton as the much younger husband.

After she reportedly discovered that he had an affair with a younger woman, Natalie Portman's husband Benjamin Millepied was expected to do everything possible to save his marriage early on Friday. And just days before the announcement was announced, the 41-year-old Oscar winner and the 45-year-old dancer and choreographer were pictured together. When they spoke with friends and Portman's May 31 director Todd Haynes while in Paris on May 29, the couple seemed as if nothing was wrong in their friendship.

During a press conference at the 76th Cannes Film Festival on Sunday, Natalie Portman challenged double standards of how women'are supposed to act differently than men'. During a press conference for her project, May December, which premiered at the festival on Saturday, the Oscar winner, 41, who recently stunned in recreation of an iconic Dior gown during the annual celebrations, spoke openly. As she was joined by fellow castmates and producer Todd Haynes, she said, 'The whole film is so much about character and the various roles we play in different settings, for ourselves, even.'

On Monday, Cate Blanchett appeared excited as she attended an exhibition in Paris. For the American Chimera's retrospective, the Australian actress, 54, wore a houndstooth trouser suit, a task that has taken many years. After watching the film, the screen actress was seen hugging film director Todd Haynes and shedding tears in her gaze.

On Sunday, Sandy Powell became the first costume designer to receive the BAFTA Fellowship at The Royal Festival Hall. The 62-year-old has had worked in film for decades, and he has received the lifetime achievement award at the prestigious London ceremony. Sandy expressed fear of speaking in public, but she was delighted to be given the prestigious award.
