In October 2010, Variety reported that George Clooney signed on to produce, direct, and star in the film adaptation of Beau Willimon's play "Farragut North." In a title tussle, Sony Picturesoriginally wanted to use that title for the movie, as they believed would be a more recognizable moniker for U.S. audiences. However, the filmmakers wound up going with Clooney's choice, "The Ides of March" (2011).

Leonardo DiCaprio dropped out of the role of Stephen Meyers, but he stayed on as executive producer through his company Appian Way. Chris Pine was then considered before Ryan Gosling was cast.

Some of Governor Mike Morris's (Clooney) campaign posters are inspired by Shepard Fairey's iconic "Hope" poster, used during Barack Obama's campaign in 2008.

Gosling's character says about a slur on his opponent, "I don't care if it's true. I just want to hear him denying it." This is a reference to a statement attributed to Lyndon B. Johnson, who allegedly referred to an opponent as having carnal knowledge of farm animals. When an aide said he couldn't say that because it wasn't true, Johnson replied, "I know but I just want to hear him deny it."
Gosling earned a Golden Globe Award nomination for his performance, while Clooney, Grant Heslov and Beau Willimon were nominated for an Academy Award for Best Adapted Screenplay. (IMDb/Wikipedia)

The Rock and Roll Hall of Fame has announced Sade as part of its 2026 list of nominees, placing the iconic band and its unmistakable voice back in the spotlight.

Blending soul, jazz, pop, and quiet storm sophistication, Sade built a catalog defined by elegance and emotional depth. Songs like “Smooth Operator” and “No Ordinary Love” remain staples decades after release, influencing generations of artists across genres.

Though often operating outside traditional “rock” labels, Sade’s cultural impact and global success have made them perennial favorites in Hall discussions. Their sound reshaped adult contemporary music and proved subtlety could be just as powerful as volume.

With the 2026 nomination, recognition may finally align with legacy.

Pillion - which follows the love story between dom biker Ray (Alexander Skarsgård) and his sub Colin (Harry Melling) - received nominations for Outstanding British Film, Outstanding Debut by a British Writer, Director or Producer, and Adapted Screenplay at this year’s BAFTA Film Awards.

If Pillion were to win either of the latter two categories, the award would go to out-Gay director Harry Lighton, who made his feature debut with the film. Pillion is based on Box Hill, the novel by Adam Mars-Jones. Lighton is also named in the Outstanding British Film category alongside producers Emma Norton, Lee Groombridge, Ed Guiney and Andrew Lowe.

At the film’s gala screening, Melling, Lighton and Skarsgård were joined by members of a Gay biker motorcycle club, reflecting the film’s close relationship with Q***r subculture.

Elsewhere, Sound recognition went to Warfare, which stars Heartstopper’s Kit Connor among its ensemble cast. Ethan Hawke also earned a Leading Actor nomination for his portrayal of lyricist Lorenz Hart in Blue Moon. Hart is widely reported to have been Gay, despite proposing marriage to women during his lifetime.

Q***r filmmaker Adrian Molina received a nomination in the Animated Film category for Pixar’s Elio. Following the film’s release, reports suggested that the titular character was originally written as explicitly “queer-coded”, with elements later softened.

Taken together, the nominations may help counter long-standing criticism of major awards bodies as being, in the words of detractors, “Oscars so straight”.
