Cinema Audio Society Awards: ‘A Complete Unknown' Takes Top Film Prize; ‘The Bear,' ‘Shōgun' Lead TV
The 61st Cinema Audio Society Awards handed its marquee Live Action Motion Picture prize to A Complete Unknown during Saturday night's ceremony at the Beverly Hilton. That makes James Mangold's film the front-runner for Best Sound at the Oscars next month.
A Complete Unknown will vie for the Academy Award against Dune: Part Two, Emilia Pérez, Wicked and The Wild Robot. All of those except Emilia Pérez also were up for CAS Awards. Oppenheimer took the Live Action Motion Picture prize at last year's CAS Awards but lost the Oscar to The Zone of Interest.

The James Beard Awards are tonight. Here's what to know.
The James Beard Restaurant and Chef Awards are at 6 p.m. Monday at the Lyric Opera of Chicago. This year marks the 35th anniversary of the awards and the 10th anniversary of the ceremony taking place in Chicago. This year's ceremony will be hosted by chefs Nyesha Arrington and Andrew Zimmern. Here's what to know. The James Beard Awards are often referred to as 'the Oscars of the food world.' The James Beard Foundation will recognize chefs and restaurants tonight. It previously honored excellence in books, broadcast media and journalism covering food and drink at a ceremony on Saturday. James Beard was a Portland-born chef who was revered as the dean of American cooking. He was an actor, singer and caterer, and eventually went on to star in a TV cooking show called 'I Love to Eat.' He created the James Beard Cooking School in 1955, wrote a newspaper column and published multiple cookbooks. He died in 1985 and the James Beard Foundation was established in his honor. Semifinalists were announced in January, while the list of official nominees was announced in April. Chicago has five nominees hoping to clinch a win tonight: Kumiko in the Outstanding Bar category; Galit in the Outstanding Restaurant category; and Thai Dang of HaiSous, Chris Jung and Erling Wu-Bower of Maxwells Trading, and Noah Sandoval of Oriole in the Best Chef: Great Lakes category, which includes Illinois, Indiana, Michigan and Ohio. Chicago's most recent previous winners include Lula Cafe, which won the Outstanding Hospitality category in 2024; Tim Flores and Genie Kwon of Kasama, who won the Best Chef: Great Lakes category in 2023; and Damarr Brown of Virtue, who won the Emerging Chef category in 2023. Earlier this year, the James Beard Foundation recognized Lem's Bar-B-Q, Chicago's oldest Black-owned barbecue restaurant, as a recipient of its America's Classics Awards. Tickets for the gala are sold out, but Eater will host a livestream that you can watch here. The Tribune Food team will provide coverage throughout the day, so watch for our story from the red carpet, followed by a recap of the ceremony once it wraps up at the end of the night.

People Are Begging Zoe Saldaña To 'Read The Room' After She Declared That Her 'Emilia Pérez' Oscar Is 'Trans' And 'Goes By They/Them'
It's been three months since Zoe Saldaña memorably took home the 2025 Best Supporting Actress Oscar for her performance in Emilia Pérez. The divisive musical, directed by Jacques Audiard, follows a transgender Mexican cartel leader named Emilia Pérez (played by Karla Sofía Gascón) as she seeks help from a lawyer (played by Zoe) to obtain gender-affirming surgery. Emilia keeps her transition a secret from her wife and kids, posing as the aunt of her pre-transition self. The film sparked backlash for a number of reasons, though one of the biggest talking points has undoubtedly been its portrayal of the trans experience. The LGBTQ advocacy group GLAAD branded the film a 'step backwards for trans representation,' arguing that it 'recycles the trans stereotypes, tropes, and clichés of the not-so-distant past.' Related: 12 Celebs Who Came Out At A Young Age, And 13 Who Came Out Way Later In Life Months after its release, the backlash against Emilia Pérez grew further when the cast notably made no mention of trans rights as they accepted their controversial Oscar wins — despite the fact that the entire plot of the film centres around a trans woman's experience, and given the current terrifying political climate for trans folks. And with this in mind, people are now once again disappointed that Zoe — who still hasn't spoken out at length about trans rights — stated that her Oscar statuette 'goes by they/them.' Related: 18 Celebrities Who Called Out Other Celebs On Social Media For Bad, Problematic, Or Just Plain Mean Behavior This week, at the LA premiere of her new movie Elio, Zoe reflected on her Oscar win, saying, 'We have it in my office and my Oscar is gender fluid,' before adding that it's "trans.' Zoe's comments quickly went viral on X, where several users begged her to 'read the room.' 'Nobodys got time for this right now Zoe,' read one viral post with over 3.8 million views. Twitter: @egeofanatolia / Jeff Kravitz / FilmMagic 'funny cause she completely omitted any mention of the trans community during her acceptance speech,' someone wrote. 'had the whole press tour and many award show platforms to say something, ANYTHING about the attacks on trans people and this is what she comes up with months after her big (undeserved) oscar win. boo tomato boo,' another user echoed. 'Trans people: we need help the government is trying to kill us, please stand up for us in a meaningful way. Zoe Saldaña: My trophy is an enby,' one user quipped, while someone on Reddit shared, 'She said this but said nothing about trans rights during her acceptance speech. Oof.' Yikes.
